Description: IDA IDACORP January 08, 2026
IDACORP, Inc. (NYSE:IDA) is a vertically integrated electric utility that generates, transmits, distributes, purchases, and sells electricity across southern Idaho and eastern Oregon. Its generation mix includes 17 hydroelectric plants, three natural-gas-fired units, and minority stakes in coal- and gas-fired steam facilities in Wyoming and Nevada, complemented by 908 MWh of battery storage. The utility serves roughly 649,000 retail customers and a diversified industrial base spanning food processing, electronics, agriculture, health care, government, education, and IT.
Key operational metrics as of the most recent filing (12/31/2024) show 4,755 pole miles of high-voltage transmission, 23 step-up substations at power plants, 21 transmission substations, 12 switching stations, 30 mixed-use substations, 187 distribution substations, and about 29,660 linear miles of distribution lines. Financially, IDA reported FY 2024 revenue of approximately $1.5 billion, operating cash flow of $450 million, and a net debt-to-EBITDA ratio near 3.2×, reflecting its capital-intensive profile. The company’s hydro-dominant fleet provides low marginal cost power, but water availability and climate variability remain material risk factors.
Sector-wide drivers that will shape IDA’s outlook include the ongoing shift toward renewable generation (U.S. renewable capacity additions rose 23 % YoY in 2023), increasing federal and state incentives for battery storage, and the impact of higher interest rates on utility-scale financing. Additionally, regional demand growth is modest (≈1 % annual increase) but is supported by expanding data-center activity and agricultural irrigation needs in the Intermountain West.
