This is a rather misleading title, the article is about a single company (Idaho Power), not the state of Idaho. The state still gets ~33% of its electricity from out of state, mostly from coal plants. In terms of overall energy, the state uses more than 3 times as much energy from fossil fuels as it generates from hydro, by the looks of it more natural gas based energy is used for heating than hydro is used for power. Unless my math is off the solar plant is question represents 0.077% of the states energy usage. Source: https://www.eia.gov/state/?sid=ID https://www.eia.gov/state/?sid=ID
