To date, Applicant has issued $1,050,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Bonds under the Existing Order, leaving $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Bonds and Debt Securities available to be issued under the Existing Order. Applicant's request in this Application for authorization to issue up to $1,500,000,000 aggregate APPLICATION - 1 principal amount of Bonds and Debt Securities will allow Applicant to reset its financing capacity to issue Bonds and Debt Securities for Applicant's ongoing operations (see Subsection 141.04 below: "Statement of Purposes"). Upon the issuance of the Commission's order in this case (the "New Order"),Applicant's authorization to issue new Bonds and Debt Securities under both the New Order and the Existing Order would not at any time exceed $1,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount (see Subsection 141.05 below: "Statement of Explanation"). 141.01. A general description of Applicant's field of operations. Applicant is an electric public utility, incorporated under the laws of the State of Idaho, engaged principally in the generation, purchase, transmission, distribution, and sale of electric energy in an approximately 24,000 square-mile area in southern Idaho and eastern Oregon. The principal executive offices of Applicant are located at 1221 W. Idaho Street, P.O. Box 70, Boise, Idaho 83707-0070; its telephone number is (208) 388- 2200. 141.02. A full description of the securities. The Bonds will be issued in one or more series pursuant to the Indenture of Mortgage and Deed of Trust, dated as of October 1, 1937 between Applicant and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (formerly Bankers Trust Company) as trustee (or any successor trustee), as supplemented and amended, and as to be further supplemented by one or more supplemental indentures relating to the Bonds (the "Mortgage"). The Bonds will be secured equally with the other first mortgage bonds of Applicant under the Mortgage. APPLICATION -2 The Debt Securities will be unsecured obligations of Applicant and will be issued under an existing or new unsecured debt indenture of Applicant. (a) Amount Applicant proposes to issue and sell from time to time (a) up to $1,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of one or more series of the Bonds and (b) up to $1,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of one or more series of the Debt Securities; provided, that the total principal amount of the Bonds and Debt Securities to be issued and sold hereunder shall not exceed $1,500,000,000.

The Shelf Registration allows Applicant to issue and sell one or more series of the Bonds and Debt Securities on a continuous or delayed basis (as authorized by the Commission and the other state regulatory commissions having jurisdiction over Applicant's securities). This enables Applicant to take advantage of attractive market conditions efficiently and rapidly. Under the Shelf Registration, Applicant is able to issue the Bonds and Debt Securities at different times without the necessity of filing a new registration statement. The Shelf Registration was filed jointly by Applicant and IDACORP, Inc., the parent company of Applicant, with the SEC. This joint filing is intended to minimize the costs to Applicant of establishing and maintaining the Shelf Registration, and of issuing securities under the Shelf Registration, while maximizing Applicant's flexibility to issue the Bonds and Debt Securities under the Shelf Registration. Applicant's current Shelf Registration is scheduled to expire in February 2028, and Applicant plans to establish a new Shelf Registration prior to such expiration, which will allow Applicant to continue to issue the Bonds and Debt Securities under the new Shelf Registration.

Applicant will file a copy of any new Prospectus Supplement for the Bonds with the Commission as an informational filing in this case. Bonds Pricinq Supplement: The Bonds may be designated as secured medium-term notes. The medium-term notes could have maturities from one year to forty years. Prior to issuing medium-term notes publicly, Applicant will file a Prospectus Supplement with the SEC as described above, setting forth the general terms and conditions of the medium-term notes to be issued. Upon each issuance of the medium-term notes pursuant to the Prospectus Supplement, Applicant will file a Pricing Supplement with the SEC providing a specific description of the terms and conditions of each issuance of the medium-term notes. Applicant will also file a copy of the Pricing Supplement(s) with the Commission at that time as an informational filing in this case. Debt Securities Prospectus Supplement: After the terms and conditions of the issuance and sale of the Debt Securities have been determined, Applicant will file a Prospectus Supplement with the SEC if the Debt Securities are sold publicly, setting forth the series designation, aggregate principal APPLICATION -5 amount of the issue, purchase price or prices, issuance date or dates, maturity or maturities, interest rate or rates (which may be fixed or variable) and/or the method of determination of such rate or rates, time of payment of interest, whether all or a portion of the Debt Securities will be discounted or issued at a premium, whether all or a portion of the Debt Securities will be issued in global form, whether the interest rate hedging arrangements will apply to the Debt Securities, repayment terms, redemption terms, if any, and any other special terms of the Debt Securities, which terms may be different for each issuance of the Debt Securities. Period of Issuance: Applicant requests authority from the Commission to issue the Bonds and Debt Securities through June 30, 2029, consistent with the three-year authority granted by the Commission in its previous two orders approving Applicant's issuance of Bonds and Debt Securities (the Existing Order and Order No. 35420, dated May 31, 2022, in I PC-E-22-14).

ATTACHMENT I(C) Contingent Liabilities CONTINGENT LIABILITIES IDAHO POWER COMPANY MARCH 31, 2026 GUARANTEES Idaho Power guarantees its portion of reclamation activities and obligations at Bridger Coal Company (BCC), of which IERCo owns a one-third interest. This guarantee, which is renewed annually with the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WDEQ), was $49.7 million at March 31, 2026, representing IERCo's one-third share of BCC's total reclamation obligation of $149.2 million. BCC has a reclamation trust fund set aside specifically for the purpose of paying these reclamation costs. At March 31, 2026, the value of BCC's reclamation trust fund exceeded WDEQ's guarantee requirement for the total reclamation obligation. BCC periodically assesses the adequacy of the reclamation trust fund and its estimate of future reclamation costs. To ensure that the reclamation trust fund maintains adequate reserves, BCC has the ability to, and does, add a per-ton surcharge to coal sales to the Jim Bridger plant. Because of the existence of the fund and the ability to apply a per-ton surcharge, the estimated fair value of this guarantee is minimal. Idaho Power enters into financial agreements and power purchase and sale agreements that include indemnification provisions relating to various forms of claims or liabilities that may arise from the transactions contemplated by these agreements. Generally, a maximum obligation is not explicitly stated in the indemnification provisions and, therefore, the overall maximum amount of the obligation under such indemnification provisions cannot be reasonably estimated. Idaho Power periodically evaluates the likelihood of incurring costs under such indemnities based on its historical experience and the evaluation of the specific indemnities. As of March 31, 2026, management believes the likelihood is remote that Idaho Power would be required to perform under such indemnification provisions or otherwise incur any significant losses with respect to such indemnification obligations. Idaho Power has not recorded any liability on its balance sheet with respect to these indemnification obligations. CONTINGENCIES Idaho Power has in the past and expects in the future to become involved in various claims, controversies, disputes, and other contingent matters, some of which involve litigation and regulatory or other contested proceedings. The ultimate resolution and outcome of litigation and regulatory proceedings is inherently difficult to determine, particularly where (a) the remedies or penalties sought are indeterminate, (b) the proceedings are in the early stages or the substantive issues have not been well developed, or (c) the matters involve complex or novel legal theories or a large number of parties. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, Idaho Power establishes an accrual for legal proceedings when those matters proceed to a stage where they present loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable. If the loss contingency at issue is not both probable and reasonably estimable, Idaho Power does not establish an accrual and the matter will continue to be monitored for any developments that would make the loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable. As of the date of this report, Idaho Power's accruals for loss contingencies are not material to its financial statements as a whole; however, future accruals could be material in a given period. Idaho Power's determination is based on currently available information, and estimates presented in financial statements and other financial disclosures involve significant judgment and may be subject to significant uncertainty. For matters that affect Idaho Power's operations, Idaho Power intends to seek, to the extent permissible and appropriate, recovery through the ratemaking process of costs incurred, although there is no assurance that such recovery would be granted. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (continued) IDAHO POWER COMPANY March 31, 2026 Idaho Power is party to legal claims and legal, tax, and regulatory actions and proceedings in the ordinary course of business and, as noted above, records an accrual for associated loss contingencies when they are probable and reasonably estimable. In connection with its utility operations, Idaho Power is subject to claims by individuals, entities, and governmental agencies for damages for alleged personal injury, property damage, and economic losses, relating to the company's provision of electric service, the operation of its power supply, transmission, and distribution facilities, and other aspects of its business. Some of those claims relate to electrical contacts, service quality, property damage, and wildfires. In recent years, utilities in the western United States have been subject to significant liability for personal injury, loss of life, property damage, trespass, and economic losses, and in some cases, punitive damages and criminal charges, associated with wildfires that originated from utility property, most commonly transmission and distribution lines. Idaho Power has also regularly received claims by governmental agencies and private landowners for damages for fires allegedly originating from Idaho Power's transmission and distribution system. As of the date of this report, the company believes that resolution of existing claims will not have a material adverse effect on its financial statements. Idaho Power actively monitors any pending or potential environmental regulations and executive orders related to environmental matters that may have a significant impact on its future operations. Given uncertainties regarding the outcome, timing, and compliance plans for these environmental matters, Idaho Power is unable to estimate the financial impact of any such regulations and orders.

IPC-E-26-18 AUTHORITY TO ISSUE AND SELL UP ) TO $1,500,000,000 OF FIRST ) PROPOSED ORDER MORTGAGE BONDS AND DEBT ) SECURITIES ) On June 4, 2026, Idaho Power Company ("Company") applied for an order authorizing the issuance and sale of bonds and debt securities with a total combined principal amount of up to $1,500,000,000. The Company requested the authorization continue through June 30, 2029. Commission Staff ("Staff') recommended that the Commission approve the requested authority on certain conditions. Having reviewed the record and all submitted materials, we issue this Order approving the Application as noted below. THE APPLICATION The Company sought authority to issue and sell, from time to time, up to.. (a) $1,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of one or more series of first Mortgage Bonds, which may be designated as secured medium-term notes ("Bonds"); and (b) $1,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of one or more series of unsecured debt securities ("Debt Securities"). The total outstanding combined principal amount of the Bonds and Debt Securities would not exceed $1,500,000,000. The Company requested Commission authority to issue and sell the Bonds and Debt Securities through June 30, 2029, consistent with the three-year authority granted in prior orders. See Order Nos. 36092 and 35420. The Company would issue the Bonds under one or more supplemental indentures to the Company's Indenture of Mortgage and Deed of Trust, dated as of October 1, 1937, as supplemented and amended, and would secure them equally with the Company's other first Mortgage Bonds. The Company, its agents, and designated underwriters may sell the Bonds and Debt Securities by public sale or private placement. The type and terms of issuance would be determined at the time of issuance.A copy of the shelf registration, any Prospectus, Prospectus Supplements, Pricing Supplements, statement of net proceeds, ORDER NO. I and any agent information along with all final documents would be filed with the Commission. The Company also requested continued authority to enter interest rate hedging arrangements with respect to the Bonds and Debt Securities, including treasury interest rate locks, treasury interest rate caps, treasury interest rate collars, treasury options, forward starting interest rate swaps, and swaptions. The Company stated it would apply the net proceeds from selling the Bonds and Debt Securities for the acquisition of property; the construction, completion, extension, or improvement of its facilities; the improvement or maintenance of its service; the discharge or lawful refunding of its obligations; and for general corporate purposes. To the extent that the proceeds from selling the Bonds or Debt Securities are not immediately so used, they will be temporarily invested in highly liquid investments, such as U.S. Treasury Bills, commercial paper, money market funds, and bank deposits. A shelf registration at the SEC allows a company to issue debt in one or more series and to take advantage of attractive market conditions efficiently and rapidly. This allows issuances to be made at lower cost and still facilitate ongoing review. The Company's current shelf registration authority, approved by Commission Order No. 36092 extends until December 31, 2026. The Company currently has $150,000,000 remaining under the existing shelf authority. The Company asked that this authority remain in effect for 21 days following the date of the Commission's Order, when it would automatically expire if no petitions for reconsideration are received; provided, that the Company's total issuance authority under Order No. 36092 and under this Order would not exceed $1,500,000,000 at any time. The Company's outstanding First Mortgage Bonds and unsecured senior debt are respectively rated A3 and Baa2 by Moody's Investors Service, and A- and BBB by Standard & Poor's Rating Service. STAFF REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION Staff reviewed the Company's Application and confirmed that the Company paid the fees required under Idaho Code§61-901 et seq. Staff recommended the Commission grant the Company's Application. Staff also recommended the Commission continue to require the Company to file supplemental information if the Bonds and Unsecured Debt ratings fall below investment grade. Further, Staff recommended the Company continue to file copies of all documents as described above. ORDER NO. 2 COMMISSION FINDINGS AND DECISION The Company is an electric corporation as defined by Idaho Code § 61-119 and a public utility as defined in Idaho Code § 61-129. The Commission has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to Title 61 of the Idaho Code, including Idaho Code §§ 61-501 and 61-901 et seq. Based on our review of the record, we find that the Company's Application reasonably conforms to Rules 141 through 150 of the Commission's Rules of Procedure (IDAPA 31.01.01.141-.150), and that the Company has paid all fees required by Idaho Code § 61-905. We also find that the Company proposes to issue securities for lawful purposes under Idaho Code § 61-901, that the proposed issuance is within the Company's corporate powers. We find it reasonable to grant the Company's Application. Our approval of the issuance is not a finding of fact nor a conclusion of law that the particular use to which these funds are to be put is approved by this Order. The issuance of an Order authorizing the proposed issuance does not constitute agency determination or approval of the type of financing or the related costs for ratemaking purposes. The Commission does not have before it for determination in this case and therefore does not determine the effect of issuance on rates to be charged by the Company for service to Idaho consumers. ORDER IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Company's Application is granted. The Company is authorized to issue and sell, from time to time through June 30, 2029, up to: (a) $1,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of one or more series of the Bonds; and (b) $1,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of one or more series of the Debt Securities. The total outstanding combined principal amount of the Bonds and Debt Securities shall not exceed $1,500,000,000. The Company may ask the Commission to extend this authorization by filing a letter with the Commission before the authority expires. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Company must notify the Commission by letter within seven (7) days (or as soon as possible, if the required information is not ORDER NO. 3 available within seven (7) days) before issuing the Bonds and/or Debt Securities of the likely range of interest rates and other terms for the securities, unless, in the case of Bonds, the Bonds are issued as medium-term notes. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Company must file a copy of the registration statement with the Commission, as promptly as possible after the Company files the registration statement with the SEC. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Company must file with the Commission, as promptly as possible after issuing each series of Bonds, a copy of the Prospectus Supplement showing the terms of the sale, and the names of the purchasers or underwriters or agents. If the Company issues Bonds designated as medium-term notes, the Company's reporting requirements shall consist of filing with the Commission a copy of the Prospectus Supplement for the medium-term notes as filed with the SEC. The Company shall also file with the Commission a copy of the Pricing Supplements filed with the SEC, setting forth the specific terms and conditions for each issuance of the medium- term notes. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Company must file with the Commission, as promptly as possible after issuing each series of Debt Securities, a copy of the Prospectus Supplement showing the terms of the sale, and the names of the purchasers, underwriters, or agents. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Company's existing authority to issue bonds and debt securities, as specified in Commission Order No. 36092, will extend for a period of 21 days from the service date of this order, at which time the existing authority under Order No. 36092 will automatically expire if no petition(s) for reconsideration have been filed in this case. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Company will provide written notice to the Commission in this case if its First Mortgage Bond credit ratings fall below Baa3 for Moody's Investors Service or BBB- for Standard & Poor's Ratings Services. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the authorization set forth in this Order is without prejudice to the Commission's authority over rates, utility capital structure, service accounts, valuation, estimates for determination of cost, or any other matter that may come before the Commission under its jurisdiction and authority as provided by law. ORDER NO. 4 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that nothing in this Order and no provisions of Chapter 9, Title 61, Idaho Code, or any act or deed done or performed in connection with this Order shall be construed to obligate the State of Idaho to pay or guarantee in any manner whatsoever any security authorized, issued, assumed, or guaranteed under the provisions of Chapter 9, Title 61 Idaho Code. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that issuance of this Order does not constitute acceptance of the Company's exhibits or other material accompanying the Application for any purpose other than the issuance of this Order. THIS IS A FINAL ORDER. Any person interested in this Order may petition for reconsideration within 21 days of the service date of this Order about any matter decided in this Order. Within seven days after any person has petitioned for reconsideration, any other person may cross-petition for reconsideration. See Idaho Code § 61-626.
