Does this page show Boise specifically, or the whole county?
Both, and for Boise we have the city-level view: Idaho Power has published outages for Boise under its own name, most recently seen on 2026-11-14. When Boise is affected, you get its own customers-out count and restoration time, with the Ada County county-wide total shown separately as context. Don't add the two together — the county figure already includes Boise.
