About IDACORP
IDACORP works across the full chain of the electric power business, producing power and moving it through transmission and distribution lines before selling it to homes and businesses. Its generation comes from a mix of sources: a large group of hydroelectric stations spread through southern Idaho and eastern Oregon, a handful of natural gas plants in southern Idaho, and ownership stakes in two coal-fired plants located in Wyoming and Nevada. It is best known as the utility that keeps this stretch of the Pacific Northwest supplied with electricity.
The company sells power at retail to a large base of households and organizations across southern Idaho and eastern Oregon, alongside commercial and industrial customers spanning food processing, electronics, manufacturing, agriculture, healthcare, government and education. Aside from running its utility network, IDACORP also puts money into tax credit programs tied to housing and other real estate projects.
The company traces back to 1915 and is headquartered in Boise, Idaho. Its shares are listed on the NYSE under the ticker IDA.
