Proposed Route | Route Alternatives | Revised Route Maps | Revised Routes - Detailed Evaluation | Siting Criteria

Throughout the Community Advisory Process (CAP) Idaho Power has worked with the communities to identify community criteria, develop a range of possible routes and recommend proposed and alternate routes. The maps shown below are categorized based on their mapping and/or analysis stage.

Idaho Power will submit the eastern route alternative as its proposed route in its revised right of way application (SF-299) to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Idaho Power will also use this proposed route when it submits the Notice of Intent to the Oregon Department of Energy – Energy Facility Siting Council (ODOE-EFSC). The BLM and ODEO-EFSC will then move forward with their application review process.

Use the map below to review the proposed route.

The maps below are detailed segments of the proposed route and alternatives that Idaho Power will submit to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and Oregon Department of Energy – Energy Facility Siting Council (ODOE-EFSC). The BLM and ODOE-EFSC will then proceed with their respective review processes. The proposed route and route alternatives are subject to change during the course of the review process.

Use the maps below to review the proposed and alternate routes.

Revised Route Maps

Following a preliminary evaluation, Idaho Power’s technical team revised the initial proposed routes to improve their potential permitability. These revised routes are shown below.

Revised Routes - Detailed Evaluation

Permitting, Constructability, Mitigation Cost | Region Overview | Analysis by Region | Region Maps

Idaho Power’s technical team conducted a detailed analysis of each of the revised routes to further evaluate their potential permitability, constructability and mitigation costs. The detailed analysis and associated maps are available on the Maps Archive page

The PATs and the public identified community, natural, cultural and physical resources that should be considered by Idaho Power when siting the transmission line route. Idaho Power reviewed these resources and identified additional siting criteria. The siting criteria shown below were used in the development and analysis of the initial proposed routes.
