Re: Tariff Advice No. IPC-TAE-24-01
Modifications to Schedule 62—Clean Energy Your Way Program - Optional
Dear Commission Secretary,
Pursuant to RP 134.01 (IDAPA 31.01.01.134.01), Idaho Power Company ("Idaho Power"
or "Company") hereby submits its request to modify Schedule 62, Clean Energy Your Way
Program (Optional) ("Schedule 62"). The Company has identified a definition change is warranted
to ensure the Company's operational practices align with its tariff. The following tariff sheet
identifies the proposed modification:
First Revised Sheet No. 62-1 Cancelling Original Sheet No. 62-1
The Clean Energy Your Way ("CEYW") Flexible offering provides participants an
opportunity to participate in the purchase of environmentally friendly "green" energy— in the form
of RECs — under one of three options. The definition of Renewable Energy Certificates ("RECs")
contained within Schedule 62 dictates that the source of the REC will be from renewable projects
(1) as defined by the Center for Resource Solutions Green-e Energy standard and will be (2)
located in the Western Electricity Coordinating Council's ("WECC") geographic area of authority,
with preference given to projects located in Idaho Power's service area and the northwest. It
further outlines the type of projects that may be considered qualifying renewable sources.
The definition of RECs was proposed by the Company in its application filed in Case No.
IPC-E-16-13. In that case, the Company sought to update the Green Power Program's' pricing
structure, clarify REC sourcing and certification, and obtain Commission approval to modify
certain elements of program funding. While at the time reflective of best industry practices, Idaho
Power has found the definition of RECs to be overly prescriptive. Recently, a REC shortage in
the WECC region has led the Company to seek options beyond the WECC to provide continued
availability of renewable energy to participants in the CEYW Flexible offering.
' Prior to August 15, 2023, Schedule 62 was titled Schedule 62 Green Energy Purchase Program Rider
(Optional). In Order No. 35893 (issued in Case No. IPC-E-21-40), the Commission approved the CEYW
Program nomenclature.

With this filing, Idaho Power seeks an administrative update to the REC definition that will
align with expected operational and procurement practices regarding the geographical sourcing
of RECs. Further, the Company proposes to clarify that eligible RECs for the CEYW Flexible
option do not need to be "Green-e® certified," a specific and detailed certification process only
conducted by the Center for Resource Solutions. Rather, RECs are also eligible for Idaho Power's
Flexible option if they are registered within a renewable energy certificate tracking system, such
as WREGIS (the Western Renewable Energy Generation Information System), a less
administratively burdensome registration system that ensures RECs are not double counted by
any individual, group, or company. Please note that the proposed change is administrative in
nature and does not impact any programmatic or pricing aspect of the CEYW program or the
Flexible offering.
The Company respectfully requests that the proposed update is approved and become
effective by July 8, 2024.

SCHEDULE 62
CLEAN ENERGY YOUR WAY PROGRAM
(OPTIONAL)
PURPOSE
The Clean Energy Your Way Program (the Program) is an optional, voluntary program designed
to provide eligible Customers and non-customer participants an opportunity to participate in the purchase
of environmentally friendly "green" energy. The Program contains two offerings: 1) The Clean Energy
Your Way— Flexible for Customers and non-customers wishing to procure RECs from existing resources
which may or may not be on Idaho Power's system; and 2) the Clean Energy Your Way — Construction
option for Customers interested in new renewable energy resources.
DEFINITIONS
Excess Generation is calculated on an hourly basis and represents the REF energy delivered to Idaho
Power's system that exceeds the REF On-Site Usage.
Net Consumption is calculated on an hourly basis and represents the Customer(s) metered kWh usage
less the line loss-adjusted REF energy delivered to Idaho Power's system. The Net Consumption cannot
be less than zero.
Renewable Construction Agreement will be the contractual agreement developed between Idaho Power
and a Customer(s) governing the terms, conditions, and pricing of a Clean Energy Your Way —
Construction arrangement.
Renewable Energy Certificate (RECs) will be from renewable projects registered within a renewable
energy certificate tracking system or as defined by the Center for Resource Solutions Green-e Energy
standard.
Renewable Energy Facilities (REFs) are resources fueled by solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, or
hydropower. REFs must be located within Idaho Power's service area or connected to Idaho Power's
transmission system and represent new facilities (i.e. facilities not previously constructed). A Seller's
Generation Facility (as defined by Schedule 72) is ineligible to be selected as a REF.
REF Cost will reflect the cost of the resource interconnected to Idaho Power's system and procured on
behalf of the participating Customer(s).
REF Credit will reflect the benefit of the REF to Idaho Power's system, subject to Commission approval.
REF On-Site Usage is calculated on an hourly basis and represents the amount of line loss-adjusted
energy generated by the REF up to a Customer(s) metered kWh usage.
