A team of technical staff from the Idaho Public Utilities Commission has recommended the approval of Idaho Power's 150MW BESS project at Boise Bench substation despite concerns over its economics. Idaho Power initiated this project to address the 236MW capacity deficit anticipated in 2026. The project is part of a selection process that includes other energy projects to meet the 2026 deficit.
