Rate Case
Idaho Power has filed a general rate case with the Idaho
Public Utilities Commission(IPUC)requesting an overall
rate increase of$199.1 million, or 13.09%.The IPUC will
evaluate this request over the next several months, and
any resulting changes will not take effect until at least
January 2026.
A general rate case is a proceeding used by the IPUC
to review the costs of operating and maintaining the
utility system, and how those costs are allocated among
customers. Idaho Power's requested increase includes
the following:
Storage and Energy Resources:
$73 Million T
• Building battery storage systems
to improve system reliability
and capacity $199
• Investing in the continued M i I I ion
safe,reliable operation of
existing generation facilities
Labor: $20 million
• Hiring additional employees
to help serve our growing service area
• Retaining the skilled workforce required to operate an increasingly
complex grid
Wildfire Resilience: $25 million
• Investing in the equipment,technology,and resources necessary
to prevent fires,protect communities,and to make Idaho Power's
system more resilient to wildfire
• Executing on our Wildfire Mitigation Plan,with an emphasis on
vegetation management
Grid Investments: $53 million
• Upgrading,replacing,and constructing new power lines,substations,
and other infrastructure necessary to ensure safe,reliable operations
• Continuing to invest in grid modernization
Other Investments: $28 million
• Upgrading technology resources
• Purchasing new fleet vehicles
• Building new office and operations facilities

Establishing new general rates will ensure Idaho Power
covers the costs of safely and reliably providing electric
service. If this request is approved as filed,the average
Idaho residential customer using 900 kilowatt-hours
per month would see a monthly bill increase of about
$21.66. Proposed impacts for all Idaho customers are
shown in the table below. Actual percentages will
depend on a customer's classification and the rate they
pay.This rate filing impacts Idaho customers only.

Includes lighting schedules; ,Includes special contracts
As part of the rate case, Idaho Power is proposing to
increase the residential service charge from $15 to $25.
By implementing a higher service charge, a larger portion
of a customers' monthly bill will be collected through
the fixed charge rather than the variable energy charge.
The intent is to make fixed cost collection more equitable
among residential customers.
This rate review will be conducted by the IPUC over the
next several months,which will include taking public
input. Details on how customers can participate in the
proceedings are included below.
