Boise-Idaho Power Co. has asked the Idaho Public Utilities Commission to approve a new voluntary load control program designed to reduce demand for electricity from its commercial and industrial customers, including the J.R. Simplot Co. Idaho Power wants the IPUC to approve a five-year agreement between it and Boston-based EnerNOC to reduce demand by at least two megawatts this year, and at least 50 megawatts each in 2012 and 2013. Commercial and industrial customers who volunteer to participate would be asked to reduce their energy loads for two to four hours during summer days when demand on Idaho Power’s generation system is at its peak. Participants would be compensated for reduced loads.
