NEWS RELEASE: Customer hearings scheduled for December to take testimony on Idaho
Power application to increase rates.
BOISE (Nov. 1, 2024)—The Idaho Public Utilities Commission will host customer hearings in
early December to take testimony on an application from Idaho Power to change the rates it
charges customers.
The utility said its application focuses on recovering costs associated with infrastructure
investments and labor expenses that were not included in the company's last rate case. If the
commission approves the request, the average Idaho residential customer using 950 kilowatt
hours per month would see a monthly bill increase of approximately $7.48. The commission can
approve, deny or modify the application.
Those interested in submitting testimony for the record can do so by attending a customer
hearing in Twin Falls on Monday, Dec. 2, or on Tuesday, Dec. 3, in Boise.
The Dec. 2 hearing will be held at the Twin Falls American Legion Hall, 447 Seastrom St., Twin
Falls, ID 83301. It will begin at 4:00 p.m. (MST) and end at 7:00 p.m. or after all testimony has
been taken, whichever comes first. In-person attendance is required to submit testimony. Those
interested in listening to the hearing can do so by calling 1-415-655-0001 and enter meeting
number 2861 889 4514 when prompted.
The hearing in Boise will be held at the Idaho Public Utilities Commission, 11331 W. Chinden
Boulevard, Building 8, Suite 201-A, Boise, ID 83714. It will begin at 4:00 p.m. (MST) and
