The Boise Airport became powered by 100% clean solar energy this fall when Boise signed on to a new renewable energy program through Idaho Power. The city is the first municipality in Idaho to enter the Clean Energy Your Way program, which is also powering a wastewater facility. While the Idaho Legislature has not established formal climate goals, the city of Boise has specific goals it bases climate policies around.
- Power city government by 100% renewable energy by 2030.
- City government operations become carbon neutral by 2035.
- Power the entire community by 100% clean electricity by 2035.
- The community becomes carbon neutral by 2050.
Idaho Power offers different types of Clean Energy Your Way programs for residential customers, businesses and large municipal customers like the city of Boise. The largest energy-using customers, like the city of Boise, are able to participate in the Clean Energy Your Way Construction agreement that powered the Boise Airport and Lander Street facility.
