Unplanned Outages

We are unware of any unplanned outages at this time.

Planned Outages

Grandview Court Tree Trimming - Anticipated October 20

Idaho Falls Power will be performing important vegetation maintenance currently scheduled for Monday, October 20, 2025 (weather dependent), that will require a temporary power outage lasting a few hours. Crews will notify residents before regarding times. Tree branches and other vegetation that grow too close to power lines are one of the leading causes of outages. Regular trimming is one of the most effective ways to prevent service interruptions before they happen. Thanks to this work, we have significantly reduced the number of tree-related outages in our community.
