Diversified Fuel Sources Could Double Power Generation in Idaho

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)-- Idaho has about 3,100 megawatts (MW) of power with roughly 70% being hydroelectric. This can be both good and bad. On the good side, there is very little air pollution. On the bad side, the state is heavily reliant on water flow and must deal with marine-life issues. Idaho’s plans for adding more than 3,000 MW calls for maintaining low levels of air pollution while also providing more diversified fuel sources.

The new fuel diversity would be led with the 1,600-MW Idaho Nuclear Energy Complex (Bruneau, Idaho) owned by Idaho Energy Complex Corporation (Mountain Home, Idaho) a subsidiary of Alternate Energy Holdings Incorporated (Thaxton, Virginia) and the 400-MW coal-fired Mountain Island Station owned by Mountain Island Holdings a subsidiary of Terra Systems Incorporated (Midvale, Utah. There will also be a 170-MW addition at the Evander Andrews Danskin Peaking Power Station (Mountain Home, Idaho) owned by Idaho Power Company a subsidiary of Idacorp Incorporated (NYSE:IDA ) (Boise. Idaho). The roughly 900 other MW will be developed utilizing either wind or geothermal resources.
