Homegrown Energy for Idaho and the West

SOUTHERN IDAHO’S WIND ENERGY PROJECTS

Your input has molded the Lava Ridge Wind Project.

Your constructive engagement remains important to us as we approach the conclusion of this multi-year development phase. Through collaborative and respectful dialogue, we have molded the Lava Ridge Wind Project into its best version for Idaho.

Creating Domestic Energy Has Never Been More Important

Wind projects like Lava Ridge and Salmon Falls give Idaho another option to fill the enormous demand for energy as the economy continues to grow.

Creating homegrown energy puts America in control of our power supply – a win for consumers’ power bills, local economies, Idaho, and America.

We’re Magic Valley Energy, an affiliate of leading U.S. energy company, LS Power

Just like Idaho’s agricultural and manufacturing industries, wind energy can become a major economic contributor to the state and serve power markets in Idaho and across the West. Magic Valley Energy’s projects will position Idaho as a leader in domestic energy production.

Since 1990, LS Power has been partnering with communities across North America to create lower-cost, cleaner energy solutions for consumers while improving the functionality, reliability, resiliency and efficiency of the aging transmission system.

How Does It Work?

Wind + Transmission + Buyers = A New Export Market for Idaho

WIND

Southern Idaho boasts strong, consistent wind that will allow for a sustainable creation of energy.

TRANSMISSION LINES

Multiple existing and planned transmission pathways enable the delivery of wind energy to power markets across the West. Battery storage can be used to extend the supply during times when the wind isn’t blowing.

BUYERS

The majority of western U.S. states have specific and substantial clean energy goals to meet the regulatory, utility, or consumer driven need to incorporate renewable energy into their portfolios.
