• FERC orders refunds. In an order handed down on January 15, 2009 and
discussed in a Form 8-K filing dated January 23, 2009, IDACORP, Inc.’s utility
subsidiary, Idaho Power, was ordered by the Federal Regulatory Commission
(FERC) to refund $13.3 million to its wholesale electric customers and to lower
transmission service rates to those customers. The order relates to Open Access
Transmission Tariffs the utility started to collect in mid-2006 subject to refund.
• Utility had previously reserved a portion of refunds. As Idaho Power had
already reserved $5.4 million of the ordered refund for the period June 1, 2006
through December 31, 2008, the utility will take a 4Q’08 pre-tax charge of
$7.9 million. Idaho Power intends to file a request for rehearing with FERC.
• Lowering 2008 and 2009 estimates. Due to the refund charge, we are lowering
our 4Q’08 EPS estimate to $0.18 from $0.29, and our full-year 2008 EPS
forecast is reduced to $2.19 from $2.30. As future wholesale rates have been
ordered, we are lowering our 2009 revenue estimate by $3.2 million (the
annualized difference between what the utility had been collecting, less reserves,
and newly-ordered rates) and lowering our EPS estimate to $2.32 from $2.36.
• Maintaining target price. Our revised 2009 EPS forecast of $2.32 will be
dependent upon a reasonable outcome in the utility’s general rate case that is
expected to be decided this week by the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (see
our Research Bulletin dated January 14, 2009). We are maintaining our 12-18
month target price of $32, or 13.8x our 2009 EPS estimate, and our BUY rating.

Recent Regulatory Decisions/Filings

2008 Idaho General Rate Case
Idaho Power Company filed a request with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (IPUC) on
June 27, 2008 for a general rate increase of $66.6 million (9.89% over current electric rates).
The requested increase equates to an 8.55% rate of return on the company’s filed $2.1 billion
rate base and is based on a 2008 test year. The requested return on equity is 11.25% on an
equity ratio of 49.3%. Idaho Power is requesting the increase in order to recover its
substantial investment in its electrical system, as well as its increasing operating and
maintenance expenses. Testimony was filed by IPUC Staff and other intervenors in the case
on October 24th, recommending an increase of $9.7 million (a 1.44% increase). Primary
reasons given for the lower revenue requirement include: A suggested ROE of 10.25% and
rate of return of 8.06%, lower operations & maintenance expenses, and a smaller-than-
requested rate base. Rebuttal testimony was filed on December 3rd, followed by public
meetings through mid-December. Idaho Power has requested that the rate increase go into
effect on February 1, 2009.

On January 9, 2009, the utility and IPUC staff filed a joint motion requesting that the
Commission defer making a ruling on the prudency determination of Energy Efficiency Rider
(EER) funds spent from 2003-2007, and issue its final order in the rate case without the
prudency determination. The utility and IPUC staff intend to hold settlement discussions
regarding the EER funds, and will file any agreement reached for the review and approval of
the Commission at a later date.

FERC Transmission Rate Case
On June 1, 2006, the FERC accepted a revision in the way open access transmission tariffs
(OATTs) were calculated for Idaho Power, the utility subsidiary of IDACORP, Inc. The new
method allowed the utility to move from a fixed rate to a formula rate which would be
updated annually. The approval translated into a revenue increase of $11 million for Idaho
Power and was subject to refund depending on the outcome of the hearing and settlement
process. Idaho Power also requested a return on equity of 11.25%.

A stipulated agreement was approved in August 2007 which settled all issues except the
treatment of certain legacy transmission service contracts. This settlement reduced the
estimated annual revenue increase to approximately $8.2 million, and required Idaho Power to
issue a refund of the rates collected in excess of the new agreed-upon rate. Also, the FERC
established an authorized return on equity of 10.7% as part of the settlement. Later that
month, the FERC’s presiding administrative law judge (ALJ) handed down an initial decision
in the case of the legacy contracts which would reduce the annual revenue increase to
approximately $6.8 million and require additional refunds of $5.4 million.

The ALJ’s decision was appealed, and on January 15, 2009 an order was handed down which
upheld the ALJ’s initial decision in most respects. One modification to the initial decision is
that Idaho Power was required to reduce its transmission rates to FERC jurisdictional
customers and refund $13.3 million to these customers for the period since the new rates went
into effect in June 2006. The refunds must be issued within 45 days of the FERC order. The
utility intends to file a request for rehearing with the FERC.

Advanced Metering Infrastructure Case
On August 4, 2008, Idaho Power filed a request with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission
for permission to install Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) technology throughout its
service territory at a cost of $71 million. The installations would begin in January 2009 and
conclude in 2011. Approximately two-thirds of the AMI costs are included in the company’s
2008-2010 capital expenditure guidance. Idaho Power noted that it will not seek a change in
customer rates at this time, even though the 2009 revenue requirement from deployment of
the AMI is estimated to be $12.2 million. However, rate impacts will be addressed in
subsequent proceedings after a deployment plan is approved by the Commission.

2008 Idaho PCA Proceedings
Idaho Power filed its 2008/2009 Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) in April 2008, requesting
recovery of approximately $87 million in power supply and fuel expenses incurred from April
15, 2007 through April 15, 2008. However, subsequent to its PCA filing, state regulators
ordered that $16 million of proceeds plus interest from the sale of SO2 credits in 2007 be used
to reduce the impact of the PCA filing from $87 million to $70.7 million.

On May 30, 2008, the IPUC ordered a change in Idaho Power’s methodology in calculating
the PCA. The new methodology results in an equal amount of power supply costs across all
months, compared with the older, more seasonal allocation that would have recognized
significantly more power supply costs in the third quarter and less in the first and second
quarters. The new PCA mechanism, which is not expected to have a material impact on
annual financial results, went into effect on June 1st, as well as an approved increase to
existing revenues of $73.3 million (10.7%).

A stipulated agreement was accepted by the IPUC on January 9, 2009 which will allow for
annual adjustments to retail rates by tracking the difference between actual power supply
expenses and net power supply expenses currently being recovered in rates. The stipulation
addresses five aspects of the PCA, with a sixth aspect being deferred for future discussion:
• As of February 1, 2009, a new mechanism for sharing deviations in power supply
cost between the utility and its customers will be applied. The original methodology
distributed power cost deviations 90%/10% between customers and shareholders,
respectively. The stipulation changes the sharing percentage to 95%/5%.
• A new mechanism for calculating the Load Growth Adjustment Rate (LGAR) will
go into effect with the implementation of new rates from Idaho Power’s 2008 general
rate case. The LGAR is intended to eliminate recovery of power supply expenses
due to changing weather conditions, a growing customer base, or different customer
usage patterns.
• Beginning with the implementation of rates from the 2008 general rate case, third
party transmission expenses that are not already included in base rates will be
reflected in PCA computations.
• Idaho Power will be allowed to use its own forecast of net power supply expenses,
replacing the admittedly less accurate forecast of inflows into the Brownlee
Reservoir prepared by the federal government, as the starting point for the PCA.
This new methodology will become effective with the utility’s next PCA filing in
April 2009.
• Base net power supply expenses will be distributed throughout the year based on the
monthly shape of normalized revenues for purposes of the PCA deferral calculation.
This change will take effect with the implementation of rates from the 2008 general
rate case.
• The current policy of allocating PCA expenses to different customer classes on an
equal cents-per-kWh basis should be re-evaluated following Idaho Power’s current
general rate case.

2007 Idaho General Rate Case
In February 2008, state regulators approved a settlement agreement associated with Idaho
Power’s June 2007 rate request. The order approves a general electric rate increase of
$32.1 million, or 5.2%, effective March 1, 2008. The agreement did not identify a rate base,
equity ratio, or an allowed ROE. Idaho Power had originally filed its rate case requesting an
increase of approximately $64 million, or 10.35%, and a return on equity of 11.5%. The then-
allowed authorized rate of return of 8.1% remained unchanged.

Danskin 1 Power Plant Application
On May 30, 2008 Idaho Power received authorization from the IPUC to increase customer
rates by 1.39%, translating to $8.9 million as a result of $64.2 million being added to the
company’s rate base attributed to the new Danskin CT1 natural gas power plant and associated
transmission and interconnection upgrades located near Mountain Home, ID. The 170-MW
addition to the Danskin Generating Unit is primarily used as a peaking facility and began
commercial operation on March 11, 2008. New retail rates associated with the Danskin
facility became effective on June 1, 2008.

Oregon Power Cost Adjustment Mechanism
In April 2008, state regulators in Oregon approved a stipulation agreement regarding Idaho
Power’s August 2007 filing for a purchased cost adjustment mechanism (PCAM) in the state
of Oregon. The mechanism differs from the Idaho PCA in that it reestablishes the base net
power supply costs annually. In Idaho, the base net power supply costs are set by a general
rate case. The OPUC approved the request and the new rates went into effect on June 1,
2008. The approved APCU results in a $4.8 million, or 15.69 percent, increase in Oregon
revenues.

PPL Purchase Power Agreement
On August 4, 2008, the IPUC approved Idaho Power’s proposed 2-year power purchase
agreement with PPL EnergyPlus, LLC (a PPL Montana subsidiary) which was filed on June
16th. The agreement allows IPC to buy 83 MW per hour of electricity during heavy load
times during June through August, at a price of $110 per MWh. The agreement extends
through 2011 and replaces a previous agreement which would have expired in 2009. The
Commission also approved Idaho Power’s request that the expenses associated with the
energy purchase and transmission be included in its annual PCA filing, which is made each
April and made effective on June 1st each year.
