FROM: TAYLOR THOMAS
DAYN HARDIE, DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL
DATE: JUNE 18, 2024
SUBJECT: IN THE MATTER OF IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S TARIFF ADVICE
TO MODIFY SCHEDULE 62, CLEAN ENERGY YOUR WAY PROGRAM
- OPTIONAL; TARIFF ADVICE NO. IPC-TAE-24-01.
On May 30, 2024, Idaho Power Company ("Company") filed a Tariff Advice with the
Idaho Public Utilities Commission("Commission")seeking to modify the definition of Renewable
Energy Credit ("REC") within Schedule 62, Clean Energy Your Way Program ("CEYW")—
Optional. In the tariff advice, the Company seeks to update the CEYW REC definition to align
with the Company's operational and procurement practices.
On June 5, 2024, after conferring with Commission Staff, the Company filed a
Supplemental Filing to replace the May 30, 2024, Tariff Advice, in its entirety. The Supplemental
Filing includes language to prioritize RECs sourced from the Company's service area or
surrounding area. The Company requests its updated Tariff Advice be effective July 8, 2024.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff reviewed the Company's Supplemental Tariff Advice and believes the nature of the
update is administrative and does not impact any programmatic or pricing aspects of the CEYW
Program. Additionally, Staff believes the Supplemental Filing maintains the geographical
sourcing preference of RECs for the CEYW Program as discussed in Order No. 33570. Staff
recommends the Commission approve the Company's Tariff Advice filed on June 5, 2024, in its
entirety, effective July 8, 2024.
