NEWS RELEASE: Commission schedules workshop, customer hearing and written comment
deadline on Idaho Power application to change credit rate for on-site generation customers.
BOISE (April 28, 2025)—The Idaho Public Utilities Commission has scheduled a workshop,
customer hearing and written comments deadline regarding an application submitted by Idaho
Power to update the credit rate customers who installed on-site generation systems receive for
excess energy they contribute to the utility's grid.
The majority of on-site generation systems consist of solar panels. Other options include wind,
geothermal, biomass. hydropower or fuel cells.
The changes apply to non-legacy customers who were not grandfathered in under a previous
credit structure. Non-legacy customers are those who submitted an application to Idaho Power to
install an on-site generation system after Dec. 1, 2020. Idaho Power is seeking commission
approval to credit customers 14.0598 cents per kilowatt hour for summer on-peak, 1.7682 cents
per kilowatt hour for summer off-peak and 0.9540 cents per kilowatt hour for all hours during
the non-summer season. The utility is proposing those credit rates from June 1, 2025, through
May 31, 2026.
The proposed credit changes would apply to residential, commercial, irrigation and large power
customers.
