Re: Case No. IPC-E-01-16 - Compliance Filing — Changes to Energy Risk
Management Policy and Standards— November 2024 Update
Dear Ms. Barrios-Sanchez:
Section 4.2 of the Idaho Power Energy Risk Management Standards ("Standards"),
adopted pursuant to the Idaho Power Energy Risk Management Policy ("Policy"), requires that all
modifications to the Standards and Policy be documented and that material revisions be filed with
the Idaho Public Utilities Commission ("Commission") upon approval by the Audit Committee of
the Board of Directors of Idaho Power Company ("Idaho Power" or "Company"). Accordingly,
enclosed are:
• A confidential clean and redlined version of the Policy.
• A confidential copy of the updated Standards as approved by the Audit Committee
of the Board of Directors in November 2024.
• A confidential redlined version of the Standards.
• A Counsel Certificate certifying that these changes were approved by the Idaho
Power Audit Committee.
Idaho Power modified the Standards and Policy to:
• Incorporate Appendix F Risk Guidelines for the 2025-2026 Power Cost Adjustment
year, which were developed by Idaho Power with input from the Customer Advisory
Group, and
• Make routine updates and immaterial formatting and punctuation changes that have
not otherwise affected the content of the document.
The Policy and Standards contain wholesale market strategy that is commercially
sensitive and if disclosed freely could subject Idaho Power or its customers to risk of competitive
disadvantage or other business injury. The undersigned attorney, in accordance with RP 67,
certifies that the Policy and Standards contain information that is a trade secret as described in
Idaho Code§74-101, et seq., and §48-801, et seq., and as such is exempt from public inspection,
examination, or copying.

Please note that this annual documentation filing identifies updated components of the
Policy and Standards; it is distinct from the Company's request in Case No. IPC-E-25-02 to
materially modify its risk management structure. If you have any questions, please contact me at
