BOISE (Nov. 22, 2024)—The Idaho Public Utilities Commission is holding a technical hearing on Dec. 9 regarding an Idaho Power application to increase rates for the electric service it provides to customers. Technical hearings are held when a utility's application may be more significant to customers or present complex issues. Parties to a case cross examine witnesses and submit testimony during these hearings. Idaho Power is asking for commission approval to increase rates to recover costs associated with infrastructure investments and labor expenses that were not included in the company's last rate case. If the commission approves the utility's request, an 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 Idaho Power's application. The technical hearing will begin on Monday, Dec. 9, at 9:00 a.m. (MST) and end at 5:00 p.m. If necessary, the hearing will continue on Dec. 10 at 9:00 a.m. and conclude at 5:00 p.m. It will be held at the Idaho Public Utilities Commission, 11331 W.
