Comment: "I'm a Disabled Air Force Veteran who's unable to work but has A VERY VERY VERY FIXED
income and, as it is already, even with LIHEAP and other services offered I am unable to pay my power
bill each month. And that's while I'm only using electricity for my computer& baseboard heating
and in wall A/C for the summer and no electricity for a washer or dryer, or dishwasher, or hot water
heater. So not only should this rate increase be denied but Idaho Power should not be allowed any price
hikes until 2029 because of the old and the new Trump "practically guaranteed"TAX breaks for large
corporations like Idaho Power it's not only unjust for them to be asking us for money from taxes and by
price hikes. If it weren't for their MONOPOLY on electricity here in Idaho I'm sure Idahoans would have
much less priced electricity than in other places in the country that don't have all the free energy they
make in hydroelectric power like Idaho Power does. Maybe they should have asked the Biden White
House for infrastructure money instead of just sitting around raising prices on only their Idahoan
customers.This isn't right and it isn't how we get these types of corporations off welfare. Because even
though I am on welfare it's not because I want too, it's because I legally can't work most if not all jobs
due to my medication. However corporations on the other hand are and will continue to just keep taking
taxpayer dollars to give golden parachutes to their executives and make sure their employees are barely
making it day to day financially. At least the executives of Idaho power gets to eat 3 meals a day, shower
a long hot shower everyday and not worry about how their going to afford their electricity bill when it's
freezing outside and if you turn on the heat you might not be able to afford it. So they should be denied
a price hike from us customers and maybe it's time the executives take it from their pay before making
Idahoans pay for another price hike. "

Comment: "To Whom It May Concern:
I am concerned that after Idaho Power received a 4.25% rate increase less than a year ago,the company
is returning with a request for 7.31% rate increase. While Idaho Power's highly compensated executive
employees might not find an annual average increase of$90 (per Idaho Statesman)to be challenging,
retirees living on fixed incomes find these frequent increases difficult to incorporate. Please consider
this in your decision and encourage Idaho Power to tighten its own belt before reaching again into the
pockets of Idahoans who are struggling to make ends meet.
Respectfully,
Susan Bradford"

Comment: "I am writing to voice my disapproval of the proposed rate increase on the basis of cost and
monopoly. Given the changing landscape of the countries economics, now is not the time to add undue
costs to Idaho families.All indications are that everyday prices will continue to rise. We do not need to
feel the pinch from IPC when there is no competition who can provide a better rate. I encourage the
denial of this proposed rate increase. "
