Idaho Power Files Annual Power Cost Adjustment UTILITIES COMMISSION
April 15, 2026
BOISE, Idaho — Idaho Power has filed the Power Cost Adjustment (PCA),the final piece of its annual spring
cost adjustments,with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (IPUC).
If approved,the combined impact of the PCA and the Fixed Cost Adjustment (FCA) will be a monthly bill
increase of 3.15%, or approximately$3.64, for a typical residential customer using 900 kilowatt-hours per
month. All Idaho customer classes will see a price increase if the requests are approved as filed.
The June 1 price changes include the combined impact of the following:
• The PCA requests an overall increase of$51.56 million, or 3.02%.The PCA is a cost-recovery tool
that passes on both the benefits and costs of supplying energy to Idaho Power customers.
• The FCA,filed on March 13, requested an increase of$5.12 million.The FCA applies only to
residential and small commercial customers and adjusts prices based on changes in energy use per
customer during the previous year.
If approved as filed, new rates will take effect June 1, 2026. Impacts for all Idaho customers are shown in
the table below.The actual percentage will depend on a customer's classification and the rate they pay.

The PCA has two main components: a balancing account for power costs incurred the previous year and a
forecast of what energy will cost in the coming year.
• The balancing account aligns last year's anticipated costs with costs actually incurred during the
prior April through March period.

• The forecast reflects Idaho Power's anticipated fuel costs, purchased power costs, and customer
benefits from sales of surplus energy for the coming April through March.
The increase in this year's PCA is largely driven by higher expected power costs for the coming year.This
power cost increase is attributed to lower forecasted hydropower, partially offset by lower forecasted
market energy prices.
Neither Idaho Power nor its shareholders receive any financial return from the PCA — money collected is
used to recover costs or credit benefits associated with annual fluctuations in power costs.
