IDACORP is a holding company whose principal operating subsidiary, Idaho Power, is a regulated electric utility engaged in the generation, transmission, distribution, sale, and purchase of electric energy serving approximately 664,000 retail customers (about 561,000 residential) across southern Idaho and eastern Oregon, covering approximately 24,000 square miles with an estimated population of 1.4 million. Idaho Power's business model is based on cost-of-service rate regulation by the Idaho Public Utilities Commission, Oregon Public Utilities Commission, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which determine authorized rates and oversee utility operations; the company earns returns on its regulated rate base through customer billings for electricity, with revenues supplemented by wholesale energy sales and transmission services under market-based tariffs. The utility's customer base spans residential, commercial and industrial sectors (including food processing, electronics, manufacturing, agriculture, health care, government, education, and information technology), plus irrigation customers who operate seasonal pumps during growing seasons. Idaho Power's operations are capital-intensive, requiring substantial investment in generation assets (including hydroelectric, natural gas, and coal-fired plants), transmission infrastructure, and distribution networks; the company funds growth through a combination of operating cash flows and external financing maintained at a target 50/50 debt-to-equity capital ratio. IDACORP also holds subsidiaries including IFS, an investor in affordable housing and real estate tax credit investments, and Ida-West, an operator of small hydropower generation projects, though Idaho Power's regulated utility operations constitute nearly all of current business operations. On February 13, 2026, Idaho Power entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Oregon electric distribution business and associated distribution and transmission assets to OTEC.
【Infrastructure investment driving growth】 Management expects continued strong customer growth and load expansion, particularly from large manufacturing customers including Micron's semiconductor fabrication facilities, which will require substantial capital deployment over the 2026–2030 period. The company is advancing three major transmission projects—B2H (expected in-service late 2027), SWIP-North (as early as 2028), and Gateway West (critical section as early as 2028)—to provide access to diverse markets and transmission wheeling revenues, while also developing natural gas generation capacity (222 MW South Hills in 2029 and 430 MW Peregrine in 2030) to meet firm dispatchable resource needs. Management emphasizes that new large load contract revenues are expected to help offset higher depreciation, interest expense, and wildfire mitigation costs, supported by a disciplined culture of careful spending to maintain affordability for customers. The pending sale of Oregon distribution assets is expected to provide ongoing earnings-per-share benefits from lower dilution, with regulatory approvals anticipated to take 10 months or longer.
