Welcome to SEIEPA
Welcome to the Southeast Idaho Energy and Property Alliance.
We’re a growing coalition of landowners, farmers, ranchers, and community members across Southeast Idaho who believe in a strong future for our region—one that honors our rural values while embracing home grown energy opportunities. We support responsible, well-sited solar development because it protects private property rights, strengthens our local economy, and helps preserve agricultural land for generations of Idaho families.

Right now, county leaders are considering an ordinance that will decide how, and if, large-scale solar projects can be built in Bannock County. This decision will shape the future of our local economy, farmland, and energy independence. With the right rules in place, Bannock County can welcome responsible solar development that brings new tax revenue, good jobs, and a stronger power grid — all while preserving our rural character. That’s why it’s critical for residents and visitors to speak up now and show support for a solar-friendly future.
Solar Stats in Idaho
Idaho’s solar story is just getting started — and the opportunities are enormous.
Our state is already harnessing the power of the sun through rooftop, community, and utility-scale solar projects, delivering clean, reliable energy to homes and businesses. But with Idaho’s population growing and energy demand on the rise, it’s clear we need to go further. Expanding solar, especially utility-scale projects, will help ensure we have the power we need while keeping energy affordable, creating good local jobs, strengthening rural economies, and preserving our natural resources for generations to come. The numbers below show how far we’ve come, and why now is the time to aim even higher.
