Commission's decisions regarding ESAs in general as such decisions could be applied in the future
across other Idaho Power ESAs. Micron, therefore, has a "direct and substantial interest" in this
proceeding.3
5. Micron intends to participate herein as a party and, if necessary, to file comments,
introduce evidence, cross-examine witnesses, call and examine witnesses, and be heard in
argument. The nature and quantity of evidence Micron will introduce is dependent upon the nature
and effect of other evidence in this proceeding.
6. Granting Micron's Petition to Intervene will not unduly broaden the issues,nor will
it prejudice any party to this case.
7. Without the opportunity to intervene, Micron would be without adequate means to
participate in this proceeding that will have a material impact on its electric service.
WHEREFORE,Micron Technology,Inc.respectfully requests that the Commission grant
its Petition to Intervene in this proceeding and to appear and participate in all matters as may be
necessary and appropriate; and, if necessary, to present evidence, call and examine witnesses,
present arguments and to otherwise fully participate in this proceeding.
