IPC-E-25-16

Commission orders, and other documents to the names and addresses above. In the interest of
conserving natural resources and reducing the costs to all parties, please serve hard copies of
pleadings, testimony, and briefs only. Production requests, responses, notices, Commission
orders, and other filings may be submitted via electronic mail in accordance with IPUC Rules

2. CEO is a nonprofit corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Idaho.
3. CEO has a direct and substantial interest in this proceeding. CEO has intervened and
actively participated in past dockets where matters related to cost causation and rate design have
been addressed, including in Idaho Power's most recent non-limited scope rate case,
IPC-E-23-11. Pursuant to the settlement and stipulation in IPC-E-23-11, CEO conducted
research and analysis related to opportunities for improving the accuracy of cost of service
analysis and the effectiveness of rate design via the utilization of hourly data. CEO has a direct
and substantial interest in continuing to participate in dockets relating to cost growth and rate
design, including this proceeding. Without an opportunity to intervene herein, CEO would not
have an adequate means of fully participating in the determination of matters related to those
cost growth and rate design issues.
4. CEO's participation as an intervenor in this proceeding will not unduly broaden the
issues or delay the proceeding because CEO's interest is directly related to the subjects that will
be addressed in Idaho Power's application. CEO's involvement in this proceeding will not be
duplicative of other parties in this proceeding because no other party adequately represents
CEO's interests.

CEO's intervention in the proceeding is dependent upon the nature and effect of other evidence
in this proceeding. If necessary, CEO may introduce evidence, be heard in argument, and call,
examine, and cross-examine witnesses. CEO intends to seek intervenor funding pursuant to
IDAPA 31.01.01.161-165.
WHEREFORE, CEO respectfully requests the Commission grant this petition.
DATED this 4th day of April, 2025.
