Idaho Power’s Irrigation Efficiency Rewards Program offers cash incentives to agricultural customers using electric-powered irrigation systems who upgrade to more energy-efficient equipment. There are three options: the Custom Incentive rewards energy savings from new or upgraded systems based on calculated electricity reductions; the Menu Incentive provides set payments for replacing specific sprinkler parts like nozzles and gaskets; and the Green Motors Program supports efficient motor replacements. Eligibility requires being on Idaho Power’s irrigation rate, and incentives are issued after application approval and verification of installed equipment.
