## Resource

Idaho Power is racing to build three new natural gas plants in southwestern Idaho over the next five years to keep pace with explosive population growth and ensure grid reliability. These facilities, set to come online by 2029, will deliver consistent, on-demand power during peak hours — a critical backup as other energy sources become less predictable. Already proven by the Langley Gulch plant, these gas-powered stations can rapidly adjust output to meet surging demand while powering hundreds of thousands of homes. With Idaho’s energy needs skyrocketing, this expansion aims to add the “real motion” needed to stabilize the grid and support the state’s future.
