Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

Power company will be able to control the thermostats of hundreds of Idaho homes and businesses.

Starting this fall, 100 homes and small businesses in northern Idaho will test new Web-connected devices that cut energy use and could save millions in surplus-power purchases and ratepayer bills when Avista Utilities needs to buy extra energy on peak-demand days.

The test will let those home users and business owners add smart two-way devices that can be controlled by Avista and that can reduce energy use when power demand strains the utility’s capacity.
