On May 21, 2024, Clean Energy Opportunities for Idaho ("CEO") filed a late petition
("Petition") to intervene in this case. No party opposed CEO's petition. Having reviewed the
Petition and the record, we grant CEO's Petition.
COMMISSION FINDINGS AND DECISIONS
Commission Order No. 36152 set a May 14,2024, deadline for petitions to intervene. CEO
filed its Petition on May 21, 2024. Thus, CEO's Petition is untimely. Untimely petitions to
intervene are governed by Commission Rules of Procedure 71-75, which provide that late
petitioners must state a substantial reason for delay and good cause for untimely filing. IDAPA
31.01.01.071-.075.
In its Petition,CEO asserted it was not able to timely respond to Idaho Power's Application
due to small staffing and staff-related family health issues. CEO represented that after reviewing
the Application CEO decided it would be in its best interest to intervene in this case. CEO
represented that its intervention will not prejudice any parties or cause delay.
Based upon our review of the Petition and the record, we find that CEO has shown good
cause for the untimely filing, and that it has a direct and substantial interest in this proceeding and
will not unduly broaden the issues. We thus find it reasonable to grant CEO's Petition. Pursuant
to Rule 73 CEO is bound by all prior orders and notices issued in the case.
