The Land Board and IDL have statutory authority to lease alternative energy resources on approximately 2.5 million acres of endowment land.
Revenue generated from alternative energy leasing provides vital funding to the endowment beneficiaries, including Idaho’s public schools. Idaho’s constitution requires IDL to maximize the revenue generated from these lands for the beneficiaries.
Any individual, company or governmental agency that wishes to develop wind, solar or geothermal energy projects on endowment land must obtain a lease from IDL.
