APPROVAL OF ENERGY SERVICES
AGREEMENT AND TARIFF SCHEDULE 35
TO PROVIDE ELECTRIC SERVICE TO
CHOBANI, LLC.

CASE NO. IPC-E-26-19
APPLICATION
Idaho Power Company (“Idaho Power” or “Company”), in accordance with Idaho
Code §§ 61-502 and 61-503 and Idaho Public Utilities Commission’s (“Commission”) Rule
of Procedure 52, hereby requests that the Commission issue an order approving the
energy services agreement (“ESA”) between Idaho Power and Chobani, LLC (“Chobani”)
for electric service at the Chobani food production facility located in Twin Falls, Idaho
(“Chobani Facility”), and rates proposed in tariff Schedule 35, Idaho Power Company
Electric Service Rate for Chobani, LLC (“Schedule 35”).
Based on Chobani’s current projected load forecast, the customer does not expect
to exceed the eligibility requirements of Schedule 19, Large Power Service (“Schedule
19”) until the summer of 2027. However, Chobani has advised it will be close to exceeding
APPLICATION - 2
the eligibility requirements of Schedule 19 later in 2026 or early in 2027. Accordingly,
Idaho Power is considering a contingency plan in the event a Commission order has not
been issued prior to Chobani becoming ineligible for service under Schedule 19. The
Company acknowledges this may not be necessary given the current load forecast, and
to this end, unless the Commission directs otherwise, Idaho Power intends to continue
providing service to the Chobani Facility under rates, charges, and terms as contained
within Schedule 19 until the Commission has issued a final order approving the ESA.
In support of this Application, Idaho Power represents as follows:
I. BACKGROUND
1. Currently, Chobani receives electric service from Idaho Power at the
Chobani Facility under Schedule 19. Chobani has advised the Company that it is in the
process of expanding its operations at the Chobani Facility to include new production
lines and ancillary facilities and anticipates that its energy requirements at the location
will exceed 20,000 kilowatts (“kW”) as a result of the expansion. When Chobani exceeds
that threshold, it will be ineligible for service under Schedule 19, which requires that
customers with an aggregate power requirement of more than 20,000 kW at the same
premises “make special contract arrangements with the Company.” 1
2. Upon learning of Chobani’s intent to expand its operations and the
associated increase in energy requirements, Idaho Power initiated discussions with
Chobani to explain that once its demand exceeded 20,000 kW, it could not continue taking
service under Schedule 19 and would instead need to enter into an ESA with Idaho Power
for electric service. The Company further explained that once executed, the ESA would
1 See I.P.U.C. No. 30, Tariff No. 101, Schedule 19.
APPLICATION - 3
need to be approved by the Commission before becoming effective.
3. In the ensuing months, the parties exchanged information relative to the
ESA, negotiated its terms, conditions, and rates, and engaged in good faith to reach an
agreement.
4. Idaho Power and Chobani have successfully negotiated the terms and
conditions of an ESA that is consistent with cost-based principles and methodology
included in previously approved energy service agreements but tailored to fit Chobani’s
specific service requirements (the “Chobani ESA”). A copy of the executed Chobani ESA
and Schedule 35, which contains the proposed rates for service under the ESA, are
attached to this Application as Attachment 1 and 2, respectively, and subject to the
Commission’s approval.
5. The Commission has broad authority to regulate and fix the charges
assessed by a public utility for service and is charged with the responsibility of ensuring
that such rates are just, reasonable, non-discriminatory, and non-preferential.2. However,
not all differences in a utility's rates and charges as between different classes of
customers “constitute unlawful discrimination or preference . . ."3 In fact, differentiating
between classes of customers is not only permissible but is often necessary to achieve
reasonable efficiency and economy of operation when such differences are based on cost
of service, quantity of electricity used, differences in conditions of service, or the time,
nature, and pattern of the customers’ use.4 For rate setting purposes, “each special

contract customer is considered a separate class with different conditions and contract
terms affecting their rates…”5 Because each special contract customer is its own class
(i.e., a class of one), greater flexibility exists to mitigate the rate impacts of large loads
without running afoul of the discrimination prohibitions found in Idaho law.
II. SPECIAL CONTRACT TERMS AND PROVISIONS
Agreement Overview
6. Pursuant to the ESA, Idaho Power agrees to furnish Chobani’s total
requirements for electric service and energy delivered to the Chobani Facility. Service
under Schedule 35 is applicable on the first day of the month in the first month that the
aggregate power requirement at the Chobani Facility exceeds 20,000 kW following the
approval of this ESA by the Commission. The rates and charges for electrical power,
energy, and other service provided by Idaho Power to Chobani pursuant to the ESA are
identified by component in proposed Schedule 35.6 Chobani agrees to pay Idaho Power
the sum of the components identified in the then-current Schedule 35 for Idaho Power to
provide electric service to the Chobani Facility.
7. The parties agree that the Chobani ESA is subject to and expressly
conditioned upon approval by the Commission and shall become effective upon approval
by the Commission of all terms and provisions without change or condition and will
continue until terminated as provided in Section 3 of the ESA.
8. Customer Safeguards. The ESA includes provisions designed to protect the
Company and its other customers from potential adverse impacts associated with serving
5 See, e.g., In the Matter of the Application of Idaho Power Company for approval of a Special Contract
with J.R. Simplot Company, Case No. IPC-E-13-23, Order No. 33038 at 11-12 (May 19, 2014).
6 Attachment 2 hereto.
APPLICATION - 5
a large, dedicated load. Consistent with the Company’s approach to special contracts
generally, these safeguards are tailored and scaled to the specific characteristics and risk
profile of each customer, ensuring that protections remain proportionate to the size and
nature of the load served. The safeguards included in the Chobani ESA include, but not
limited to:
Section 3, Termination for Convenience: The ESA requires advance notice
– at least twenty-four (24) months, or thirty-six (36) months if Chobani
increases Contract Demand to 30,000 kW or above – in order to terminate
the agreement, to mitigate against unexpected termination.
Section 5, Contract Demand and Minimum Monthly Billing Demand: The
ESA includes Contract Demand and Minimum Billing Demand terms, also
referred to as the take-or-pay provisions, that guarantee a base level of cost
allocation and recovery and limit Chobani’s ability to modify Contract
Demand to mitigate against changing load forecasts.
Section 6, Marginal Cost-Based Energy Charges: Schedule 35 includes a
marginal energy price component, which helps to mitigate the risk of higher
costs caused by Chobani’s incremental load being passed on to other
customers.
Section 8, Facilities for Delivery to Chobani Facility: Chobani and Idaho
Power have separately entered into agreements pursuant to which Chobani
is funding the construction of the necessary facilities to accommodate its
service request.
Section 14, Commission Jurisdiction and Approval: The ESA only becomes
effective upon approval by the Commission, and the rates set forth in the
ESA and Schedule 35 are subject to the continuing jurisdiction of the
Commission and to change and revision by order of the Commission.
Pricing Considerations and Elements
9. When determining rates for new special contract customers, Idaho Power
must account for a number of factors including, but not limited to, each customer’s unique
needs, site-specific circumstances, infrastructure available at the time, and the potential
impact of the load to the operation, safety, and reliability of Idaho Power’s system.7
7 See, e.g., Case No. IPC-E-13-23, Order No. 33038 at 11-12.
APPLICATION - 6
Special contract arrangements are highly customer- and site-specific, and Idaho Power
determines rates for new special contract customers on a case-by-case basis.
10. Contract Demand. Contract Demand is defined in the ESA as the monthly
level of kilowatts Idaho Power has agreed to make available to the Chobani Facility based
on Chobani’s forecasted load, whether utilized or not. Chobani has requested an initial
level of Contract Demand of 25,000 kW and, under the terms of the ESA, may request
changes to Contract Demand, subject to certain parameters, down to a minimum Contract
Demand of 20,000 kW and up to a maximum Contract Demand of 40,000 kW.
11. Minimum Monthly Billing Demand. Billing Demand is defined in the ESA as
“the average kilowatts supplied to the Chobani Facility during the coincident 15-
consecutive-minute period of maximum use during the monthly billing period, adjusted for
power factor. . . as measured by the metering equipment located at the Chobani Facility.”
The Minimum Monthly Billing Demand is the minimum Billing Demand that will be charged
to Chobani during a monthly billing period and is calculated as Contract Demand less
5,000 kW, but not less than 20,000 kW. This ensures a base level of cost recovery that
scales with Chobani’s elected Contract Demand while maintaining the 20,000 kW special
contract threshold as a floor.
12. Power Factor Adjustment. When the power factor at the Chobani Facility is
less than 95 percent, as determined by measurement under actual load conditions, Idaho
Power may adjust the total Billing Demand by the ratio of the minimum power factor to
the actual power factor.
APPLICATION - 7
Pricing Structure
13. Proposed Pricing Methodology. Idaho Power evaluated the relevant
circumstances and proposes a two-block pricing structure that incorporates embedded
cost-based demand rates and marginal cost-based energy rates, reducing potential cost-
shifting and resulting in Chobani fairly contributing to the incremental system cost
necessary to serve its new load. The proposed pricing structure is similar to pricing
structures included in the Brisbie and Lamb Weston special contracts, which were both
approved by the Commission and based on two blocks using embedded and marginal
cost rates.8
14. The two-block pricing structure proposed for the Chobani Facility includes
an embedded-cost pricing block, Block 1, and a marginal energy cost pricing block, Block
2, as follows:
Block 1 applies to the first 20,000 kW of the aggregate power requirement at
the Chobani Facility and is priced based on embedded cost Schedule 19 retail
rates. Because Chobani is currently an Idaho Power customer taking service
under Schedule 19, the Company believes it is reasonable to propose an
embedded energy and demand rate up to the current threshold provided for in
Schedule 19.
Block 2 applies to the aggregate power requirement at the Chobani Facility
exceeding the first 20,000 kW and is priced based on: (1) capacity cost per

Schedule 33 to Provide Electric Service to Brisbie, LLC’s Data Center Facility, Case No IPC-E-21-41,

APPLICATION - 8
kilowatt, recovered through monthly Contract Demand and Billing Demand
charges (“Block 2 Billing Demand”), and (2) energy priced at a marginal cost-
based rate, recovered through the Block 2 Energy Charge (“Block 2 Energy”).
15. Demand Charges. To determine the Block 2 Billing Demand charge, Idaho
Power employed a cost-of-service methodology to allocate costs to the expanded
Chobani Facility utilizing Idaho Power’s embedded capacity costs and the projected
electrical requirements provided by Chobani. The foundation for these calculations was
the most recently Commission-reviewed class cost-of-service study from the Company’s
most recent General Rate Case, Case No. IPC-E-25-16, reflecting the final revenue
requirement approved therein. The Company developed the demand rates to reflect
embedded costs, consistent with the approach used in previously approved energy
service agreements.
16. Marginal Cost-Based Energy Charges. Because the Company’s system is
currently facing near-term energy constraints, it is expected that Chobani’s incremental
load will cause an increase in the cost to provide energy to all customers. As such, the
Company proposes to price Chobani’s Block 2 Energy on a marginal cost basis to help
mitigate the upward pressure on other customers’ rates that might otherwise occur due
to Chobani’s increased load.
17. The initial Block 2 Energy Charges are proposed to be based on the
Commission-approved single-run methodology for developing marginal cost-based
energy charges as approved in Case No. IPC-E-25-179 and pending approval in Case
9 In the Matter of Idaho Power Company’s Application for its Annual Update to Marginal Pricing Used in
Certain Schedules, Case No. IPC-E-25-17, Order No. 36619 (May 30, 2025).
APPLICATION - 9
No. IPC-E-26-08.10 As set forth in proposed Schedule 35, the rate design for the Block 2
Energy Charge for Chobani reflects Time-of-Use (“TOU”) energy pricing, with separate
on-peak, mid-peak, and off-peak rates applicable during the Summer and Non-Summer
seasons. The Chobani TOU rates rely on the same underlying marginal energy cost data
and analytical framework approved in IPC-E-25-17; however, the hourly TOU periods
used to develop these rates are designed to reflect the TOU hour changes approved in
the Company’s 2025 General Rate Case, Case No. IPC-E-25-16.11 The calculated
Energy Charges for each time period are shown in Table 1 below.
Table 1. Marginal Energy Charges
Marginal Energy Price ($/kWh)
Season Summer Non-Summer
On-Peak $0.052673 $0.048694
Mid-Peak $0.039049 $0.040163
Off-Peak $0.037335 $0.037008
18. Consistent with the Company’s proposal in Case No. IPC-E-26-08, the
Company recommends these rates remain in effect following Commission approval of
Schedule 35 and until the Commission approves updated marginal cost-based energy
rates following the Company’s annual update case or other regulatory proceeding where
marginal cost-based rates are subject to review and modification. To the extent the
Commission evaluates and directs modification to marginal cost-based rates prior to
resolution of this case, the Company recommends the Commission direct it to submit a

Certain Schedules, Case No. IPC-E-26-08. In its application, Idaho Power proposed that the Commission
authorize the Company to maintain its currently effective marginal cost-based energy prices used in
relevant schedules, as a mitigation measure. The matter is currently pending.

APPLICATION - 10
compliance filing to update Schedule 35 energy charges consistent with the outcome of
any relevant proceedings.
19. Annual Update to Marginal Cost-Based Energy Charges. Following
approval of the Chobani ESA and Schedule 35, the Company proposes that Schedule 35
Energy Charges be updated annually through the Company’s filings in the Commission-
approved marginal energy docket so that the rates remain aligned with changing fuel
prices, market dynamics, hydro conditions, and resource operation as part of the
Company’s annual update to marginal cost-based energy rates filed with the Commission
on or about April 1. The methods used to calculate marginal cost-based energy charges
are subject to change and may be updated from time to time as directed by the
Commission.
20. After the ESA has been in effect for at least five (5) years, Chobani may
request that Idaho Power reevaluate the basis for the Block 2 Energy Charges; provided,
however, that any changes to the basis for the Energy Charges will be subject to
Commission review and approval.
21. PCA Accounting Treatment. Consistent with the marginal-cost basis of the
Block 2 Energy Charge, the Company proposes that all costs of supplying power to the
Chobani Facility in both Block 1 and Block 2 be included in the Power Cost Adjustment
(“PCA”) and that revenues from Block 2 energy sales be treated as surplus sales and an
offset to power supply costs. Because the Block 2 marginal-cost-based energy is
accounted for as if it were an off-system sale, Block 2 energy sales would not be included
as Idaho retail sales used to calculate the sales-based adjustment in the PCA. This PCA
treatment is consistent with the approach for other customer rates with marginal energy
APPLICATION - 11
price components.12
Upfront Costs
22. Chobani is responsible for paying all upfront costs for construction of
facilities needed to interconnect and serve the expanded Chobani Facility load. The
parties have separately entered into Procurement and Construction Agreements that
govern the construction and installation of the electrical facilities and equipment
associated with the expansion of the Chobani Facility, and Rule H, New Service
Attachments and Distribution Line Installations or Alterations. Consistent with other
primary-service level customers, Idaho Power will retain ownership of the facilities and
the responsibility for ongoing operating and maintenance expenses up to the Point of
Delivery.
III. MODIFIED PROCEDURE
23. Idaho Power believes that a hearing is not necessary to consider the issues
presented herein and respectfully requests that this Application be processed under
Modified Procedure pursuant to Commission Rules of Procedure 201, et seq., i.e., by
written submissions rather than by hearing.
IV. COMMUNICATIONS AND SERVICE OF PLEADING
24. Communications and service of pleadings with reference to this Application
should be sent to the following:

V. CONCLUSION AND REQUEST FOR RELIEF
25. As more fully described herein, the terms and conditions in the Chobani
ESA are reflective of cost-based principles, consistent with those included in previously
approved electric service agreements tailored to fit Chobani’s unique characteristics and
help to protect the Company and its other retail customers from potential adverse impacts
associated with Chobani’s expanded operations. The rates included in Attachment 2
reflect the cost of providing service to the expanded Chobani Facility according to the
most current cost information available and will appropriately recover the cost of providing
service to the Chobani Facility, while limiting the potential for cost shifting between the
Chobani ESA and the Company's other customer classes. These rates are reasonable,
consistent with past cost-of-service determinations, and in the public interest.
26. Accordingly, as set forth more fully above, Idaho Power respectively
requests the Commission issue an Order: (1) approving the Chobani ESA, included as
Attachment 1; (2) approving the rates and charges set out in Schedule 35, included as
Attachment 2, without change or condition; (3) approving the initial Block 2 Energy Charge
included in Schedule 35, subject to the outcome of any marginal cost-based docket, and
directing the Company to thereafter update the same as part of its annual update to
marginal cost-based energy rates for other schedules filed with the Commission on or
APPLICATION - 13
about April 1; (4) authorizing the requested PCA accounting treatment of energy sales
under the ESA; and (5) establishing a procedural schedule that allows the Commission
to process this case and issue a final order by March 1, 2027.
27. In addition, though Chobani’s official load forecast currently indicates there
is sufficient time for Commission review of the ESA prior to Chobani’s demand exceeding
20,000 kW, to address the possibility that this could occur during the pendency of this
case given potential uncertainty over timing raised by Chobani, the Company proposes
the following interim arrangement for the Commission’s consideration. Absent alternative
direction from the Commission, in the event Chobani exceeds the 20,000 kW threshold
before the Commission has issued an Order in this case, the Company proposes to
continue to provide service to the Chobani Facility, without curtailment to the 20,000 kW
threshold, applying the rates and charges for service that are contained within Schedule
19 until the Commission has issued a final order approving the ESA, and will proceed in
this manner unless it is otherwise directed by the Commission.
DATED at Boise, Idaho, this 8th day of June, 2026.

or minus five percent (5%) and the voltage level fluctuations may vary in the event of
abnormal system conditions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that electric service is
inherently subject to occasional interruption, suspension, curtailment, and fluctuation,
and that Idaho Power does not guarantee uninterrupted electric service and shall have
no liability for damages, losses, or claims arising out of or relating to any such interruption,
suspension, curtailment, or fluctuation of electric service absent willful misconduct or
fraud by Idaho Power. To the extent any liability is imposed notwithstanding the foregoing,
damages shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 12.2 of this Agreement.
Nothing in this Section 4.3 shall be deemed or construed as a waiver or modification of
Idaho Power’s General Rules and Regulations on file with the IPUC including any
defense, immunity, exemption, or limitation that may be available to the Parties
thereunder.
SECTION 5. – CONTRACT DEMAND
5.1 Initial Contract Demand. Beginning on the Service Effective Date, the initial level
of Contract Demand requested by Chobani and made available by Idaho Power under
the terms of this Agreement is 25,000 kilowatts, whether utilized or not.
5.2 Changes to Contract Demand. Under the terms of this Agreement, Chobani may
request a change to Contract Demand pursuant to the following limitations by providing
written notice to Idaho Power as follows:
Docusign Envelope ID: 3E6F9C92-B3AC-8809-8274-328622ED2FF2
Chobani Facility Special Contract
Page | 6
a. Decreases to Contract Demand. Chobani may decrease the
Contract Demand in even increments of 500 kilowatts down to a minimum Contract
Demand of 20,000 kilowatts but cannot decrease the Contract Demand more than
5,000 kilowatts in any twelve (12) month period. Chobani shall notify Idaho Power
in writing of its desire to decrease the Contract Demand at least three (3) months
in advance of the first day of the month in which it desires the decreased Contract
Demand to be effective. The decreased Contract Demand shall be in effect for a
minimum of six (6) months.
b. Increases to Contract Demand. Chobani may increase the Contract
Demand in even increments of 500 kilowatts up to a maximum Contract Demand
of 40,000 kilowatts, but cannot increase the Contract Demand more than 10,000
kilowatts in any twelve (12) month period, nor by more than 20,000 kilowatts in any
thirty-six (36) month period. Chobani shall notify Idaho Power in writing of its desire
to increase the Contract Demand at least twelve (12) months in advance of the
first day of the month it desires the increased Contract Demand to be effective.
The increased Contract Demand shall be in effect for a minimum of six (6) months.
If Chobani requests an increase in Contract Demand that exceeds either the twelve
(12) month or thirty-six (36) month limitations described above, Idaho Power may,
at its sole discretion, determine whether such additional increase can be
accommodated based on system planning, capacity, or other operational
considerations; provided, however, that Idaho Power’s approval of such an
increase shall not be unreasonably withheld.
5.3 Minimum Monthly Billing Demand. The Minimum Monthly Billing Demand will be
the Contract Demand less 5,000 kilowatts, but not less than 20,000 kilowatts.
5.4 Excess Demand. The availability of power in excess of the Contract Demand is not
guaranteed, and if Billing Demand at the Chobani Facility exceeds the Contract Demand,
Idaho Power may curtail service to the Chobani Facility. Idaho Power reserves the right
to install, at any time at Chobani’s expense, any device necessary to protect Idaho
Power’s system from damage which may be caused by Excess Demand at the Chobani
Docusign Envelope ID: 3E6F9C92-B3AC-8809-8274-328622ED2FF2
Chobani Facility Special Contract
Page | 7
Facility. Chobani will be responsible for any damages to Idaho Power’s system or
damages to third parties resulting from Excess Demand at the Chobani Facility. Chobani
agrees to use its best reasonable efforts to monitor its electric loads and to advise Idaho
Power as soon as possible of the potential for Excess Demand at the Chobani Facility. In
the event Idaho Power decides, in its sole discretion, to make power available to satisfy
Excess Demand, Chobani will be subject to the Daily Excess Demand Charge specified
in Schedule 35.
SECTION 6. – CHARGES TO BE PAID BY CHOBANI TO IDAHO POWER
6.1 Rates and Charges. The rates and charges for electrical power, energy, and other
service provided by Idaho Power to Chobani pursuant to this Agreement will be identified
by component in Schedule 35 as filed by Idaho Power with the IPUC. Chobani shall pay
Idaho Power the sum of the components identified in the then-current Schedule 35 for
Idaho power to provide electric service to the Chobani Facility.
6.2 Block 2 Energy Charges. Schedule 35 shall include the marginal cost-based
energy charges applicable to Block 2 Energy (the “Block 2 Energy Charges”). The Block
2 Energy Charges will be subject to IPUC approval and Idaho Power shall provide IPUC
with updated Block 2 Energy Charges annually. At Chobani’s request, Idaho Power
agrees to reevaluate the basis for the Block 2 Energy Charges after this Agreement has
been in effect for at least a period of five (5) years from the Service Effective Date.
6.3 Power Factor Adjustment. When the Chobani Facility’s adjusted power factor is
less than 95 percent during the 15-consecutive-minute period of maximum use for the
monthly billing period, Idaho Power may adjust the Billing Demand by multiplying the
metered demand in kilowatts by 95 percent and dividing that product by the adjusted
power factor. The reactive component of the adjusted power factor is comprised of the
reactive load plus the 138/12.5 kV transformer reactive losses reduced by the amount of
reactive correction paid for by Chobani.
6.4 Billing and Metering Provisions. Billing Demand at the Chobani Facility shall be
determined on a 15-minute coincidental basis as measured by Idaho Power and shall be
Docusign Envelope ID: 3E6F9C92-B3AC-8809-8274-328622ED2FF2
Chobani Facility Special Contract
Page | 8
billed accordingly. Idaho Power shall make 15-minute interval period energy use data
available to Chobani for data and billing analysis purposes. Idaho Power will install and
maintain suitable metering equipment for the Point of Delivery so that coincident Billing
Demand and energy consumption can be determined for the billing period.
a. Meter Errors. Failure of the meters or any inconsistency between
meters will be addressed promptly by Idaho Power. If a meter should fail to register
correctly, estimated readings shall be used for calculating consumption. In
calculating the estimate, consideration will be given to Chobani’s consumption in
the hours immediately preceding the meter data failure or for consumption in
similar periods of other years and other relevant facts. If Chobani is due a credit or
is subject to a charge as a result of a meter error, then Idaho Power shall
recalculate prior billings using the corrected meter data and provide any such credit
or additional charge on the next monthly invoice.
SECTION 7. – PAYMENT OF BILLS
7.1 Billing Data. Chobani shall pay Idaho Power for all services provided under this
Agreement. Invoices for payment for electric services shall be prepared and submitted by
Idaho Power to Chobani monthly. All invoices or bills shall contain such data as may be
reasonably required to substantiate the billing, including statements of the meter reading
at the beginning and end of the billing period, meter constants, and consumption during
the billing period.
7.2 Payment Procedure. All bills or accounts for electric service owed by Chobani to
Idaho Power hereunder shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days from the invoice date.
Payment will be made by electronic transfer of funds. Idaho Power shall provide Chobani
with current ABA routing numbers and any other necessary instructions to facilitate the
electronic transfer of funds.

12.3 Nothing in this Section 12 shall be construed to limit Chobani’s payment obligations
to Idaho Power under this Agreement. The provisions of Section 12 shall survive the
termination or expiration of this Agreement.
SECTION 13. – FORCE MAJEURE
13.1 As used in this Agreement, “Force Majeure” or “an event of Force Majeure” means
any event or circumstance beyond the reasonable control of a Party which, despite the
exercise of due diligence, such Party is unable to prevent, avoid, or overcome. Force
Majeure includes, but is not limited to, acts of God, fire, flood, storms, wars, hostilities,
terrorism, civil strife, strikes and other labor disturbances, earthquakes, fires, lightning,
epidemics, pandemics or public health emergencies, sabotage, or changes in law or
regulation occurring after the Execution Date, in each case to the extent such event was
not reasonably foreseeable and could not reasonably have been avoided by the exercise
of due diligence. If either Party is rendered wholly or in part unable to perform its
obligations under this Agreement because of an event of Force Majeure, the affected
Party’s affected obligations shall be suspended for the duration of the event of Force
Majeure without liability provided that: (1) the affected Party promptly provides the other
Party written notice of the Force Majeure event, including the nature, cause, date and
time of the commencement of such event, and the anticipated scope and duration of the
delay; (2) the suspension of performance shall be of no greater scope and of no longer
duration than is required by the event of Force Majeure; (3) no obligations of either Party

which arose before the occurrence causing the suspension of performance and which
could and should have been fully performed before such occurrence shall be excused as
a result of such occurrence. Financial hardship or inability to pay, whether resulting from
a Force Majeure event or otherwise, shall not constitute an event of Force Majeure and
shall not excuse any payment obligation under this Agreement.
SECTION 14. – COMMISSION JURISDICTION AND APPROVAL
14.1 This Agreement and the respective rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder,
shall be subject to: (a) Idaho Power’s General Rules and Regulations as now or hereafter
in effect and on file with the IPUC and (b) to the jurisdiction and regulatory authority of the

ELECTRIC SERVICE RATE
FOR
CHOBANI, LLC.
SPECIAL CONTRACT DATED May 26, 2026
POWER FACTOR ADJUSTMENT
Where the Customer’s Power Factor is less than 95 percent, as determined by measurement
under actual load conditions, the Company may adjust the kW measured to determine the Billing Demand
by multiplying the measured kW by 95 percent and dividing by the actual Power Factor. If a Power Factor
adjustment is necessary, the application of the adjustment will be applied to each respective Block at that
Block’s Billing Demand Charge.
Block 1 means the first 20,000 kilowatt of the aggregate power requirement at the Chobani Facility.
Block 2 means the aggregate power requirement at the Chobani Facility exceeding the first 20,000
kilowatt.
Block 1 Energy is the Block 1 Billing Demand multiplied by the Monthly Load Factor multiplied by the
number of hours in the billing month. Block 1 Energy will be subject to the applicable Block 1 Energy
Charge.
Block 2 Energy is the Block 2 Billing Demand multiplied by the Monthly Load Factor multiplied by the
number of hours in the billing month. Block 2 Energy will be subject to the applicable Block 2 Energy
Charge.
Monthly Load Factor is the total aggregate energy consumption at the Chobani Facility for the billing
month divided by the number of hours in the billing month divided by the sum of Block 1 and Block 2
Billing Demand.
