What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Idaho Power is seeking a power supply agreement from TerraPower. Separately, officials from Idaho Power, Rocky Mountain Power, and Avista told the Idaho Public Utilities Commission that while nuclear energy offers reliable, clean power, high construction costs and permitting timelines of ten years or more pose challenges to the state's "least cost, least risk" mandate.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The move toward purchasing power from TerraPower reflects a utility's effort to diversify its energy portfolio. However, state regulators in Idaho are concerned that the high costs and long permitting processes associated with nuclear projects may conflict with the state's mandate for least cost and least risk.
