Idaho Falls Power Paine Substation Naming: Jeff Paine was the chief engineer of Idaho Falls Power from 1970 to 1984. Jeff was known for being organized, competent and having impeccable analytical skills. Jeff was responsible for the day to day operations of the Electric Division (now Idaho Falls Power), and instrumental in many critical utility efforts, such as planning, design, and construction of the 161kV tie line from Sugarmill substation to Westside substation. Many of the major infrastructure improvements that the City of Idaho Falls now enjoys were installed under his term of service.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: To officially name the future substation at the north end of our service area the Paine Substation (or take other action deemed appropriate).
