The enclosed report provides the information requested in Order No. 35893 and the Company's evaluation of the Clean Energy Your Way program for 2022 and 2023. Two years of data are included in the 2024 annual report because the previous reporting requirement was biennial; future reports will only include one year of data. If you have any questions regarding this report, please contact Regulatory Analyst Mary Alice Taylor at mtaylor(c�idahopower.com or (208) 388-5645. Sincerely, Donovan E.

The proposed modifications included: (1) renaming the Green Power Purchase Program Rider (Optional) to the Clean Energy Your Way Program (Optional), (2) maintaining and expanding procurement options to include three options: Block, Total Usage, and Large Purchase, for the renewable energy certificate ("REC") offering named Clean Energy Your Way — Flexible, (3) establishing a regulatory framework for a future voluntary subscription green power service offering named Clean Energy Your Way — Subscription, (4) offering a tailored renewables option to the Company's largest customers (Special Contract and Schedule 19, Large Power Service) named Clean Energy Your Way — Construction, and (5) procuring associated program renewable resources outside the Commission's current competitive bidding requirements. In August 2023, the Commission issued Order No. 35893 approving most of the Company's requested changes. Additionally, the Commission directed the Company to submit an annual Prudency Report with the following information: • Customer count under each participation option, by schedule • Monthly RECs purchased; • Percentage of RECs purchased within Idaho Power's service are; • Monthly funds transferred to the Power Cost Adjustment ("PCA") from Idaho Power-owned REC purchases; • Monthly revenue and expenses for Schedule 62; • Updated costs associated with re-certifying the RECs prior to retirement (Green-e); • Summary of marketing activities and expenses; • Solar 4R Schools expenses; • Balance of uncommitted/excess funds to be carried over into the next year and the monthly balance of the rider for Schedule 62; • Information on all tailored agreements for third-party RECs in Flexible-Large Purchase Option including, but not limited to: (a) REC purchase agreement price and quantity requested; (b) quantity and price of RECs procured for the customer; (c) monthly revenue and expenses; and (d) proof of separate accounting treatment; • Information on advanced procurement purchases and if any remaining RECs from those REC purchases will carry over into the next year; 2024 Clean Energy Your Way Program Prudency Report- 1 The Commission's Order No. 35893 directs the Company to report on all costs and revenues associated with Schedule 62, which now includes three components: the Flexible, Subscription, and Construction programs.

Lead times can be long for As required for Green-e certification, Idaho Power provides welcome packets to each new participant and updated product content labels to all participants annually. 2024 Clean Energy Your Way Program Prudency Report-7 marketing activities, so the Company chose to postpone marketing campaigns until the program name was officially changed. Idaho Power plans to launch the program's typical full marketing campaign in 2024, which in past years led to increased customer awareness of this voluntary option and participation growth. In 2022, the marketing efforts summarized below were funded mostly through the Company's operations and maintenance budget. Marketing/Public Relations: • Bill inserts to customers two months of the year (approximately 608,000 total inserts) • Program promotion in April e-newsletter to celebrate Earth Month (electronic version sent to approximately 276,000 customers) • Promotion on electronic bill in April and May (sent to approximately 192,000 customers in April and 192,500 in May) • Program posters featured at Treefort Music Festival • Promotional placement on idahopower.com homepage in April • Window clings promoting individual participation sent to new participants Advertising reached: • 2,161,093 impressions from online digital ads • Pop-up ad in My Account (Idaho Power's online customer portal) delivering 108,722 impressions in April and 49,565 in October In 2023, the marketing efforts included: Marketing/Public Relations: • Bill inserts to customers one month of the year (approximately 287,000 total inserts) • Promotional placement of the program on idahopower.com homepage in July • Window clings promoting individual participation sent to new participants Advertising reached: • Digital ads in Idaho Power's customer email newsletter (The Current), which was sent to 315,000 customers in August and 317,719 in October 2024 Clean Energy Your Way Program Prudency Report-8 F. Solar 4R Schools As part of the program design, Schedule 62 revenues from the Flexible Block and Total Usage options are also used to support the Solar 4R Schools program. Solar 4R Schools educates students about renewable energy by placing solar installations on school property, along with a data monitoring system, and providing a curriculum package and teacher training. Since its inception, 25 schools throughout Idaho Power's service area have received solar PV systems through the program. In 2022, Solar 4R Schools expenses totaled $29,000 for the Sage International School project that was awarded in 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the project was delayed and completed during 2022 and 2023. Two additional schools were awarded projects in 2022, Nampa High School in Nampa and Sacred Heart School in Boise. In 2023, expenses totaled $74,463.06, which covered Sage International School's teacher training, Sacred Heart School's solar installation and teacher training, and the remainder of Nampa High School's solar installation. The teacher training expense for Nampa High School will be paid in 2024. In 2023, Idaho Power awarded two Solar 4R Schools project grants to Anser Charter School, a K-8 school in Garden City, and one other school that is pending signing the agreement. The combined expenses of the new projects are estimated to be around $90,000 and will be paid in 2024. The Company plans to award the grant to up to two schools in 2024. G. Schedule 62 Rider Balance Table 6 below shows that the rider balance at the end of 2023 was $432,525.72. This does not include the July through December 2023 REC expense of$143,754.20 that was paid in January 2024. Including that expense, the balance would have been $288,771.52.

FLEXIBLE: LARGE PURCHASE OPTION H. PCA Transfer Through the Flexible— Large Purchase Option, Idaho Power sold Company-owned RECs to business customers. For reporting year 2022, seven business customers participated in the Large Purchase Option. A total of 28,549 Idaho Power-owned RECs were purchased and $30,349.04 from these sales was transferred to the PCA. For reporting year 2023, seven business customers participated in the Large Purchase Option. A total of 28,272 Idaho Power-owned RECs were purchased and $36,931.28 from these sales was transferred to the PCA. I. Third-Party REC Purchases In 2022 and 2023, Idaho Power did not make advanced or customer-specific third-party REC procurements for the Large Purchase Option. J. Conclusion Overall, even with minimal marketing efforts from 2022 and 2023, the program still experienced slight growth compared to 2021. Interest in clean energy continues to grow and the Company was pleased to see a restoration in Solar 4R Schools applications after the halting effects of the pandemic.
