that a Proposed Settlement will not be filed. Additionally, Staff requested the Commission vacate
the October 27, 2025, customer hearing in Twin Falls, Idaho.
We now issue this order vacating the currently scheduled testimony deadlines and the
customer hearing scheduled for October 27, 2025, in Twin Falls, Idaho.
COMMISSION DISCUSSION AND FINDINGS
We find it reasonable to vacate the testimony deadlines and the customer hearing because
the parties anticipate presenting a Proposed Settlement for the Commission's consideration.
Because the Proposed Settlement has not been filed, the Commission will not set a deadline for
testimony in support of the Proposed Settlement or a new customer hearing date at this time. The
Commission will revisit the procedural schedule at a later date.

and all party rebuttal testimony, currently set for October 17, 2025, and November 14, 2025,
