Idaho Falls Power crews are beginning the Fairmont/Stanger Reconductor Project to replace aging poles and overhead electrical wire and make improvements to the electrical system serving the area. The project is being completed in response to power quality concerns and customer feedback, with the goal of improving long-term service reliability.

As work progresses, brief, planned power outages may occur periodically throughout the project as crews replace and connect electrical infrastructure. Any outages will be carefully coordinated and kept as short as possible, with advance notification provided to affected customers whenever possible. Construction activity will generally take place M-F, approx. 8am to 4pm. If you have any questions, please call 208-612-8430.

Idaho Falls Power likes parties too… but please keep the balloons away from power lines.

This weekend, mylar balloons made their way into a power line and caused an outage affecting 71 individuals.

We know balloons are a fun way to celebrate, but when mylar balloons escape, they can become a serious problem for our electrical system, and for the crews who have to respond.

So, when the party’s over, please secure your balloons and dispose of them properly. And if a balloon does get away, please don’t try to retrieve it yourself, especially if it’s near a power line.

🎈 Celebrate responsibly.
⚡ Keep balloons away from power lines.
💡 Help us keep the lights on!
