Energy is more than small potatoes for IDACORP. The holding company's regulated utility, Idaho Power, distributes electricity to 616,000 residential, business, agricultural, and industrial customers in 80 cities (71 in Idaho and nine in Oregon). The utility's generation assets include 17 hydroelectric plants, three gas-fired plants, one diesel generator, and stakes in three coal-fired plants. Other IDACORP businesses include independent power project developer IDA-WEST ENERGY), affordable housing investments (IDACORP Financial Services), and coal mining (Idaho Energy Resources), a joint venture partner of the Bridger Coal Company, which supplies coal to a power plant partly owned by IDACORP.
