2. Micron receives electric utility services from Idaho Power Company ("Idaho
Power") and is Idaho Power's single largest customer. Micron is also an Idaho Power Special
Contract customer. Micron's revised Special Contract was approved by this Commission in
Case No. IPC-E-22-06 along with Idaho Power's Power Purchase Agreement with Black Mesa
Energy, LLC ("Black Mesa"), entered into in part to serve Micron under the Clean Energy Your
Way ("CEYW") program. As discussed in Idaho Power's Application in this proceeding,
Micron's Special Contract contains a provision that allows for another Idaho Power customer to
purchase a share of Black Mesa electric generation.2 In this proceeding, Idaho Power seeks
Commission approval to effectuate that provision in Micron's Special Contract to enter into a
new Renewable Construction Agreement between the City of Boise and Idaho Power utilizing a
portion of Black Mesa electric generation.

3. This proceeding will impact Micron's Special Contract and the portion of
Micron's electric load that is served from Black Mesa's output. Therefore, Micron has a direct
and substantial interest in this proceeding.
4. Micron intends to participate herein as a party, and if necessary, to introduce
evidence, cross-examine witnesses, call and examine witnesses, and be heard in argument. The
nature and quality of evidence Micron will introduce is dependent upon the nature and effect of
other evidence in this proceeding.
5. Granting Micron's Petition to Intervene will not unduly broaden the issues, nor
will it prejudice any party to this case.
6. Without the opportunity to intervene, Micron would be without adequate means to
participate in this proceeding that may have a material impact on its electric service rates.
WHEREFORE, Micron Technology, Inc. respectfully requests that the Commission
grant its Petition to Intervene in this proceeding and to appear and participate in all matters as
may be necessary and appropriate; and to present evidence, call and examine witnesses, present
argument and to otherwise fully participate in this proceeding.
