NEWS RELEASE: Commission Approves Asset Transfer Agreement Between Eastern Idaho Electric Utility
and City
BOISE (Sept. 9, 2026) — The Idaho Public Utilities Commission has approved an application submitted by
Rocky Mountain Power to transfer a customer and certain electric facilities serving that customer to the city
of Idaho Falls.
A previously approved Service Allocation Agreement (SAA) approved by the Commission allows a
customer's electric service to be transferred from one utility to another, provided that the acquiring utility
compensates the serving utility for lost revenues and the distribution facilities used to provide service to that
customer. The SAA also requires the acquiring utility to purchase any poles, wires, crossarms, insulators, guy
wires and other facilities that are no longer necessary for the serving utility to provide electric service to the
customer.
The Commission issued an order on Sept. 8, 2026, approving the transfer. It determined that the transfer
promotes the public interest,provides fair compensation for the transferred assets without increasing rates for
existing customers and ensures that the affected customer will continue to receive reliable electric service from
Idaho Falls Power.
