Idaho Energy Freedom will host Energy Freedom Education Day at the Capitol building's second floor rotunda on Tuesday, February 25, 2025 from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The event is designed to educate legislators and the public about Idaho's energy economy and spotlight clean energy options.

Idaho Energy Freedom is a group of citizens and neighbors concerned about the impact of misinformation about energy options in Idaho. We believe that Idahoans should get the facts and decide for themselves what’s in their best interest. Freedom is an Idaho value, and no one type of energy is right for everyone. Healthy competition benefits ratepayers, and investment in energy infrastructure creates jobs and prosperity in our schools and communities.
