NEWS RELEASE: Idaho Power files application seeking approval of energy sales agreement.

BOISE (March 25, 2024) – Idaho Power has filed an application with the Idaho Public Utilities
Commission asking for approval of an energy sales agreement with BP Hydro Associates.

If approved, the application would allow Idaho Power to buy energy from the Rock Creek II
Hydro Project in Twin Falls. Idaho Power is also asking that the payments for buying the
electricity be declared as prudently incurred expenses for ratemaking purposes. The energy sales
agreement would provide for the sale of electricity for a 20-year term at non-levelized, non-
seasonal hydro published avoided cost rates.

The commission can approve, deny or modify the application.
