In support of this Supplemental Application, Idaho Power states: SUPPLEMENTAL APPLICATION - 1 1. On December 24, 2025, Idaho Power filed its Application requesting that the Commission designate Idaho Power's HCC relicensing expenditures incurred from January 1, 2016, through September 30, 2025, as prudently incurred and eligible for inclusion in customer rates at a later date. The Company stated it would submit a supplemental application in early 2026 to include expenditures incurred through year-end 2025. 2. Idaho Power now supplements its Application to include HCC relicensing expenditures incurred through December 31, 2025. The updated costs are presented in Supplemental Exhibit No. 1 to the Supplemental Testimony of Company Witness Brett Dumas and in Attachment 1 to this Supplemental Application, each of which replaces the corresponding materials filed with the original Application. 3. As reflected in the Supplemental Dumas Testimony and updated materials, total HCC relicensing expenditures incurred from January 1, 2016, through December 31, 2025, are approximately $315 million, of which approximately $268 million is classified as Allowance for Funds Used During Construction ("AFUDC"). 4.
