Stephen has been a trusted and steady presence at Idaho Falls Power, leading with experience, humility, humor, and a calm approach that helped guide teams through both everyday challenges and defining moments. His influence can be seen across the organization, and the impact of his leadership will continue to be felt long after his final day. We are deeply grateful for his years of service, commitment, and the lasting legacy he leaves behind. Best wishes, Stephen!

10 years ago today, Idaho Falls was just beginning the conversation about bringing fiber internet directly to all City of Idaho Falls residents' homes. Today, that vision has become reality.

Now, every home and business within Idaho Falls has access to Idaho Falls Fiber - a community-owned network built by the people of Idaho Falls, for the people of Idaho Falls. It remains Idaho's largest open-access fiber network. And more than 1/3 of all residents have already made the switch! In our 2025 Annual Report, we report that 1,031 businesses and 8,911 residential customers are enjoying the benefits of Idaho Falls Fiber (as of Sept 30, 2025).

No contracts. No hidden fees. No buffering. Just fast, reliable internet with local support and multiple trusted internet service providers to choose from.

We’ve come a long way since this post from 2016....and we’re just getting started. More exciting developments are right around the corner! ;)

After more than seven years with Idaho Falls Power, we’re celebrating IFP Executive Assistant Linda Lundquist as she moves into an exciting new role as City Clerk for the City of Idaho Falls.

Linda has been one of those people who quietly keeps everything working - bringing order to busy days, clarity to moving parts, and a level of care and professionalism that made a real difference across the entire organization. Her presence has been a steady constant, and her impact will be felt long after she's gone.

We’re grateful for the time we’ve had with her, and are excited to see her step into this next opportunity. Congratulations, Linda!

May is National Electrical Safety Month - a time to recognize the importance of staying safe around electricity at home, at work, and in our community. ⚡

We’re proud to share that the Idaho Falls Power team recently earned 3rd Place in our category in the 2026 Public Power Association - NWPPA Annual Safety Contest! The award was presented during this year’s Engineering & Operations Conference, with T&D Superintendent Brandon Lerwill accepting the recognition on behalf of IFP (pictured at far right).

This achievement reflects the strong culture of safety our employees demonstrate every day. From tailboards and trainings to proactive decision-making and safety conversations, every effort helps protect our team and the community we serve.

Thank you to all IFP employees for making safety a daily priority!
