Matthew Riley, both with the Maneuver Area Training Equipment Site of Camp Shelby, place bottled water into a vehicle, Monday, March 1, 2021, at a Jackson, Miss., water distribution site on the New Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church parking lot. In addition, the guardsmen maintained a tanker with non-potable water for flushing toilets. Similar sites are maintained through the capital city, more than 10 days after winter storms wreaked havoc on the city's water system because the system is still struggling to maintain consistent water pressure, authorities said.

IDACORP, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2020 Results, Initiates 2021 Earnings Guidance
February 18, 2021 GMT
BOISE, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb 18, 2021--
IDACORP, Inc. (NYSE: IDA) reported fourth quarter 2020 net income attributable to IDACORP of $37.5 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, compared with $47.1 million, or $0.93 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2019. IDACORP reported 2020 net income attributable to IDACORP of $237.4 million, or $4.69 per diluted share, compared with $232.9 million, or $4.61 per diluted share, in 2019.
“I am proud to announce IDACORP has achieved its 13th straight year of growth in earnings per share,” said IDACORP President and Chief Executive Officer Lisa Grow. “Continued robust customer growth of 2.7% over the previous year for Idaho Power was a significant driver of this accomplishment. This growth, combined with lower operating and maintenance expenses, led to IDACORP’s success amidst a year of challenges and unpredictable customer usage resulting from COVID-19. As Idaho Power earned a nearly 10% return on year-end equity in its Idaho jurisdiction, this also means we have once again preserved the full $45 million of additional tax credits for future earnings support.
