NEWS RELEASE: Commission is accepting written comments on application to approve
service territory agreement.
BOISE (Aug. 1, 2025)—The Idaho Public Utilities Commission is accepting written comments
on an application from Northern Lights, Inc. and the City of Bonners Ferry for approval of a
service territory agreement.
Northern Lights and the city have been following an agreement since 1981. The agreement
established their respective service territories to provide stable service, eliminate duplication of
services and increase safety. The agreement predates the creation of the Electric Supplier
Stabilization Act. The act is intended to promote harmony between electric suppliers, prohibit
the pirating of customers, discourage duplication of electric facilities and stabilize service
territories, among other items.
Before making a decision on applications that would establish service territory agreements, the
commission evaluates if proposed agreements would violate the act.
