Idaho Power's request only focuses on recovering costs associated with infrastructure investments and labor expenses that were not included for collection in the company's last rate case but will be benefitting customers by year-end 2024.The goal of filing a limited case is to balance timely cost recovery with customer affordability and reliability. Idaho Power plans to invest nearly$1 billion in its electrical grid in 2024 and an average of nearly$800 million annually over the next five years to meet growing customer demand and maintain a safe, reliable electrical system. Idaho Power is sensitive to the impact rate increases have on customers and believes this limited case will minimize customer impact as compared to a broader general rate review. Idaho Power remains committed to affordability,with prices 20%to 30% lower than the national average.
