IDA

Idacorp Inc

A regulated electric utility that powers hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses across southern Idaho and eastern Oregon, drawing about half its electricity from hydropower on the Snake River alongside natural gas, solar, wind, and battery storage. The company took shape in 1915–1916 when five struggling regional power firms merged, and in the 1920s it famously sold electric waffle irons, stoves, and washing machines straight to customers to build demand for its growing capacity.
