Idaho Power proposes to construct, operate and maintain a new electric transmission line (single circuit 500 kilovolt) from the Boardman Substation near Boardman, Oregon to the Hemingway Substation near Melba, Idaho—known as the Boardman to Hemingway Transmission Line Project or B2H Project.
The B2H Project would ensure future electrical service for Idaho Power customers as well as other utility customers in Idaho and Oregon by increasing transmission line capacity and improving system reliability. Visit Idaho Power's About the Project page for more information.
The location of the proposed transmission line has not yet been determined. Many ideas have been proposed and more will be forthcoming during and following Idaho Power’s Community Advisory Process (CAP), through additional public involvement, data collection and analyses conducted by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and through the Oregon energy facility siting process conducted by the Oregon Department of Energy-Energy Facility Siting Council (ODOE-EFSC).
