A team of technical staff working for the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (IPUC) has given its recommendation to approve a request from Boise, ID-headquartered utility Idaho Power to develop a 150MW standalone BESS at its Boise Bench substation located in Ada County, Idaho. 

Prevalon Energy, a dedicated BESS spin-out from Mitsubishi Power Americas, has secured a 328MWh order from utility Idaho Power in the US.

Construction has started on two battery energy storage system (BESS) projects in Idaho which will be delivered by Powin Energy.
