Comment: "How can this be justified, especially at this time when everyone is struggling
with rising cost due to government tariffs, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical industry
and medical industry. Is IP seeing a drop in revenue this year(hence profits and dividends)
because everyone is going"Energy saving"with LED technology, more efficient appliances
and electrical systems, solar energy, etc.?
Look: -
IDACORP, Incas net income attributable to IDACORP forthe fullyear 2024 was $289.2
million, or$5.50 per diluted share.
This represents an increase of approximately 11% in net income compared to the $261.2
million reported for the full year 2023.
They are seemingly not in need of even more revenue!"

Comment: "I am concerned about the rate increase proposed by Idaho Power, especially
given there was already a rate increase this year. This is almost a 10% increase on
residential customers. The residential rate increase is higher than the other rate increases.
The cost of living in Idaho has already increased exponentially and wages have failed to
keep up. We have large numbers of low-income and fixed-income folks who will be hit hard
by this rate increase. There are many large power consumers (like data centers) moving to
this area who will drive up demand and challenge capacity. I am concerned that this
growth and rate increases are being unfairly borne by existing residential customers. "

Comment: "How much is enough?This year we have incurred increases in insurance,
irrigation, internet, and starting October of next year, our property taxes will go up. When
will we all get to keep a fixed budget to go with our fixed income and live in peace?"

Comment: "I am responding to the recent email from Adam Rush, announcing that the PUC
is considering a 7.48% increase in electric rates for Idaho Power.
I am opposed to this massive increase, even though it is less than what Idaho Power
wanted. It is unfair and unrealistic in this economy to grant an increase that is more than
twice the rate of inflation.
To rub salt in the wound, Idaho Power has been granted a 30% reduction in what it has to
pay for excess electricity returned to the grid by residential solar generators, like myself.
The PUC is putting short term profits for Idaho Power above the long term needs of the
community and ignoring the science that supports greater investment in solar, wind, and
alternate fuels away from fossil fuel generating plants."

Comment: "Again, I have a concern as a senior about cost of the new rate hike.
My winter bill is already more than I budget.
My home is in the country so electric was my only option for heat, other than my wood
burning stove. As I age hauling wood is getting less and less an option.
The tier system is unfair for homeowners using electric heat. As we need more heat, we are
charged a much higher rate, than when we dont need heat. Seems unfair that we pay a
higher bill to stay warm.
Please reconsider this rate hike.
It seems to me the homeowners and not the businesses are getting the highest increase."
