Abstract
The Boise City District Heating System serving the downtown area of Boise, Idaho, became operational in 1983. The project has the capability of delivering 4,000 gallons per minute under peak load conditions, or an equivalent of 2.2 million therms in a heating season. Retail prices are discounted from natural gas rates and financing of the project was through a combination of public and private funds. System growth has been steady since the project became operational.
