Riverbend Awareness Project focuses on National Energy Awareness

During October, the Riverbend Awareness Project podcast is focusing on National Energy Awareness. Guests Sarah Wheeler and Christopher Jensen from Idaho Falls Power take listeners on a journey from the powerful history of hydropower in Idaho Falls to practical steps each of us can take to conserve energy today.

Wheeler and Jensen share how more than 125 years of hydropower have shaped the community, fueling growth and providing a reliable, renewable source of electricity. Listeners get a closer look at how the Snake River continues to drive local innovation and why energy remains such an essential part of community life.

Part 2 shifts the focus from history to action, offering practical energy conservation tips for individuals, families, and workplaces. From simple habits like switching off unused lights, shortening hot showers, and unplugging “energy vampires,” to investments in smart thermostats, Energy Star appliances, and home energy audits, the episode highlights how small changes can reduce costs and make a lasting impact.
