On May 31, 2024, Idaho Power Company ("Company") filed an application
("Application") with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission ("Commission") requesting an order
approving a revision to the Company's schedules of rates for electric service in the state of Idaho.
The Company requested an increase in annual Idaho jurisdictional revenue of$99,293,220.
On December 31, 2024, the Commission issued Order No. 36438 approving the
Company's Application as modified by the Order, with an increase in annual Idaho jurisdictional
revenue of$50,605,147. Order No. 36438 ordered the Company to file tariffs and schedules in
conformance with the Order, to be effective on January 1, 2025, for service rendered on and after
that date.
On January 21, 2025, the Commission issued an Errata to Order No. 36438 that modified
the increase in annual Idaho jurisdictional revenue from $50,605,147 to $50,100,414. On January
22, 2025, the Company submitted a Second Compliance Filing with tariffs and schedules based
on the errata modifying Order No. 3 643 8.
COMMISSION FINDINGS AND DECISION
The Commission has jurisdiction over the Application and the issues in this case under
Title 61 of the Idaho Code including Idaho Code §§ 61-301 through 303. The Commission is

utilities and to determine whether they are just, reasonable, preferential, discriminatory, or in

503.
Having reviewed the record and all submitted filings, the Commission finds that the
Company's modified tariff schedules submitted through a compliance filing on January 2, 2025,
