A power outage struck parts of east Boise on Monday, leaving an undisclosed number of Ada County residents without electricity, according to Idaho Power. The utility confirmed the outage was affecting customers in the area, though specific details on the cause and estimated restoration time were not immediately available.
Idaho Power serves a large portion of the Treasure Valley, and outages in the Boise area can affect homes and businesses across multiple neighborhoods. Residents are encouraged to report outages and check restoration estimates directly through Idaho Power’s official outage center at idahopower.com.
The outage comes as the Boise area has seen recent weather-related infrastructure stress. Earlier this month, wind gusts nearing 60 mph caused significant damage at the Boise Airport, tearing the roof off an Alaska Air building — a reminder of how severe weather can strain local utilities and facilities.
Idaho Power customers experiencing outages can report them online or by phone. Updates on affected areas and restoration timelines are posted to the company’s outage map in real time.
