NEWS RELEASE: Commission amends schedule for electric utility's application to increase the
rates it charges to provide electric service.
BOISE (Nov. 6, 2025)—The Idaho Public Utilities Commission has amended the schedule for
an application submitted by Idaho Power to increase the rates it charges to provide electric
service to customers.
Parties to the case have filed a proposed settlement that will be reviewed by the Commission. In
its initial application submitted to the Commission on May 30, 2025, Idaho Power asked for an
overall revenue increase of$199.1 million, or 13.09 percent. If the proposed settlement is
approved by the Commission as filed, the utility will receive an overall revenue increase of$110
million annually, or 7.48 percent.
Previous deadlines for parties to submit written testimony were vacated to allow the parties to
work on the proposed settlement. The deadline to submit testimony has been changed to
Tuesday,Nov. 18.
A customer hearing originally scheduled for Thursday,Nov. 20, will continue to be held that
day. It will be at the Commission's office, 11331 W. Chinden Blvd., Building 8, Suite 201-A,
Boise, ID 83714. It will begin at 4:30 p.m. (MST) and conclude at 7:30 p.m. or after all customer

involves new call-in numbers.
