Idaho
Idaho derives nearly all of its electricity from hydroelectric power plants and other renewable sources such as geothermal, solar and wind energy. In addition, the state has implemented an energy efficiency program within the agriculture industry - Idaho’s largest industry - to promote alternative energy sources and water conservation throughout the farming community. The Department of Energy’s Idaho National Laboratory, located in Idaho Falls, has been instrumental in basic research and development and environmental innovations since 1949. |

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
A portion of the funds from the State Energy Program are allocated by formula among the states. To apply for a grant from the remaining funds, each Governor is required to write a letter to the Secretary of Energy explaining that the state will pursue policies to promote energy efficiency and renewable energy as outlined in Section 410 page 32 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
