NEWS RELEASE: Commission schedules telephonic hearings to take testimony on proposed
asset transfers from electric utility to the city of Idaho Falls.
BOISE (July 3, 2025)—The Idaho Public Utilities Commission will hold two telephonic
hearings to take testimony on applications submitted by Rocky Mountain Power to transfer
certain electric facilities owned by it to the city of Idaho Falls.
Idaho Falls' municipal electric service territory is surrounded by Rocky Mountain Power's
service territory. Rocky Mountain Power currently provides service to customers located within
the boundaries of the city, and the city provides service to customers within Rocky Mountain
Power's service territory. In 2017, the city and the utility entered into a service allocation
agreement designed to reduce duplication of service and promote stability in their respective
service areas.
If the asset transfers are approved by the commission, the city will pay Rocky Mountain Power
for the electric facilities.
Case No. PAC-E-25-10 involves the proposed transfer of facilities in northeast Idaho Falls. Case
No. PAC-E-25-11 involves the proposed transfer of facilities in southeast Idaho Falls.
The hearings are on Wednesday, July 16. The hearing for Case No. PAC-E-25-10 will begin at
11:00 a.m. (MDT) and conclude at 11:30 a.m. or after all testimony has been taken, whichever
comes first. Those interested in submitting testimony for the record can call 1-415-655-0001 and
enter meeting number 2863 386 0930 when prompted. The hearing for Case No. PAC-E-25-11
will begin at 11:30 a.m. (MDT) and conclude at 12:00 p.m. or after all customer testimony has
been taken, whichever comes first. Those interested in submitting testimony for the record can
call 1-415-655-0001 and enter meeting number 2863 386 0930 when prompted.
