Comment: "Please consider my objection to Idaho Power's request to approve an overall base rate
increase of$99.29 million, or 7.31%for Idaho customers. Idaho Power has consistently presented rate
increases while appealing their own operating property assessment values to reduce their property tax
burden. For property tax year 2023 Idaho Power received a 15% reduction in their assessment value,
shifting the property tax burden to other property owners. Idaho Power is currently appealing their 2024
assessment values in an effort to reduce their property tax burden.The Idaho resident/property owner is
paying more and Idaho Power is paying less. I ask for your consideration, is a back to back rate increase
approval justified?Thank you. "
