Does Idaho Power offer net metering for solar?

Idaho Power sets its own interconnection and net metering rules as a investor-owned utility. Most Oregon consumer-owned utilities offer net metering for home-sized systems, but terms and size caps vary, so we confirm the current policy before designing your system.

Can Idaho Power customers get Energy Trust of Oregon solar incentives?

No. Idaho Power is outside the Energy Trust of Oregon service area. Customers can still use the Oregon Solar + Storage Rebate when it is open and Oregon's property-tax exemption for solar.
