operation to natural gas operation,which was included in Idaho Power's 2023 Integrated Resource
Plan("IRP") acknowledged in Order No. 36233.3 Idaho Power states that it will seek recovery of
costs associated with the conversion in a future rate proceeding and is not proposing a change in
customer rates at this time.

3. As a large customer, Micron has an interest in ensuring Idaho Power's electric
service is reliable and rates are just and reasonable. Additionally, as a member of the Idaho Power
Integrated Resouce Plan Advisory Council ("IRPAC"), Micron has an interest in Idaho Power's
resource planning and selection and the types of resources that are used to serve Micron.
Therefore, Micron has a direct and substantial interest in this proceeding.

evidence, cross-examine witnesses, call and examine witnesses, and be heard in argument. The
nature and quality of evidence Micron will introduce is dependent upon the nature and effect of
other evidence in this proceeding.
5. Granting Micron's Petition to Intervene will not unduly broaden the issues,nor will
it prejudice any party to this case.

participate in this proceeding that will have a material impact on its electric service.
WHEREFORE,Micron Technology,Inc.respectfully requests that the Commission grant
its Petition to Intervene in this proceeding and to appear and participate in all matters as may be
necessary and appropriate; and, if necessary, to present evidence, call and examine witnesses,
