On July 10, 2025, the Northwest Energy Coalition ("NWEC") filed a late petition
("Petition") to intervene in this case. No party opposed NWEC's petition. Having reviewed the
Petition and the record, we grant NWEC's Petition.
COMMISSION FINDINGS AND DECISIONS
Commission Order No. 36638 set a July 7,2025,deadline for petitions to intervene.NWEC
filed its Petition on July 10, 2025. We find NWEC's Petition to be untimely.Untimely petitions to
intervene are governed by Commission Rules of Procedure 71-75, which provide that late
petitioners must state a substantial reason for delay and good cause for untimely filing. IDAPA
31.01.01.071-.075.
In its Petition,NWEC recognized that the Petition was filed after the intervention deadline
of July 7,2025,and stated the reason for delay was due to NWEC staff addressing other prioritized
workload and being out of the office toward the end of the intervention period.NWEC represented
that its intervention will not prejudice any parties or cause delay.
Based upon our review of the Petition and the record,we find that NWEC has shown good
cause for the untimely filing, and that it has a direct and substantial interest in this proceeding and
will not unduly broaden the issues. We thus find it reasonable to grant NWEC's Petition. Pursuant
to Rule 73 NWEC is bound by all prior orders and notices issued in the case.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that NWEC's petition to intervene is granted.
