Idaho Power has filed a limited scope rate case with the
Idaho Public Utilities Commission (IPUC)requesting an
overall base rate increase of$99.29 million, or 7.31%for
Idaho customers.The IPUC will evaluate this request over
the next several months,and any resulting changes will
not take effect until January 2025 or later.
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. For customers who may be struggling
to pay their bill, Idaho Power has tools, programs, and
resources available at idahopower.com/accounts-service/
make-payment/help paying-bill/idaho-assistance.

a customer's classification,the rate they pay, and the
