Of the RECs purchased, all were from ldaho and Oregon, and 23 percent were from
projects within Idaho Power's service area.
f n both 2020 and 2021 there were no ldaho Power-owned RECs purchased for the
Program, therefore no fund transfers to the PCA were required. However, outside of the
Program and through the Large Renewable Energy Purchase Option ("Large Purchase
Option"), ldaho Power sold Company-owned RECs to business customers.
For reporting year 2020, four business customers participated in the Large Purchase
Option. A total of 10,526 ldaho Power-owned RECs were purchased and $4,782.28from
these sales was transferred to the Power Cost Adjustment ("PCA').
For reporting year 2021, five business customers participated in the Large Purchase
Option. A totaf of 20,953 ldaho Power-owned RECs were purchased and $23,123.21 trom
these sales was transferred to the PCA.
C. Monthly Revenue and Expenses
Table 4 below shows the monthly revenues received from Schedule 62 and the actual
timing of Program expenses. Please note that the expenses are inclusive of the monthly
REC costs identified in Table 2, though amounts on a monthly basis will not align with
Table 2 due to timing differences between the receipt of funds and actual payments to
vendors.

ln 2020, Program-funded marketing expenses totaled zero percent of the total Program
revenue ($250,802.18). In 2021, Program-funded marketing expenses totaled 0.4 percent
of the total Program revenue ($296,817.50).
The decrease in funds used for marketing was the result of the increased costs for RECs,
Green-e certification and in-part Solar 4R Schools. As stated in the original filing, the
Company may choose to use these funds to cover the increase in Program costs rather
than change the tariff price to participants. ldaho Power wil! continue to look for the most
cost-effective methods of marketing the Program.
ln 2020, the marketing efforts for the Green Power Program included:
Marketinq:
. Bill inserts to customers three months of the year (approximately 950,000 total
inserts)o Short video on Bigelow Tea's participation in the Green Power program - ran on
social media and company homepage. Program promotion on April e-bil! to celebrate Earth Month (electronic version of
bill sent to approx. 147,500 customers). Window clings promoting individual participation sent to customers. Segment on KTVB channel 7; interview on Green Power program
3 As required for Green-e certification, ldaho Power provides welcome packets to each new participant and
updated product content labels to all participants annually.

F. Solar 4R Schools
As part of the Program design, Schedule 62 revenues are also used to support the Solar 4R
Schools program (now called CE, Clean Energy Bright Futures). Solar 4R Schools (or CE),
educates students about renewable energy by placing solar installations on school propefi,
along with a data monitoring system, a curriculum package and teacher training. Since its
inception, 22 schools throughout ldaho Power's service area have received solar PV systems
through the program. ln 2020, Solar 4R Schools expenses totaled $21,722.72 for the Vallivue
Middle School project that was awarded in 2019. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, no schools
applied for Solar 4R Schools in 2020 and only one applied in late 2021. Idaho Power plans to
award up to two Solar 4R Schools project grants in 2022 and up to two more in 2023.
G. Solar-Only Option
ln the Company's 2016 filing, ldaho Power stated that it was investigating the addition of a solar-
only option to the tariff as the Company had received informalfeedback from customers that this
option would be highly desirable.a ln 2018, ldaho Power increased the amount of solar in the
Green Power resource mix from 3 percent to 50 percent, which allows participants to support
both wind and solar energy equally.s ln response to customer requests and feedback in recent
years, in December 2021, ldaho Power submitted an application with the IPUC (Case No. IPC-
a Case No. IPC-E-16-13, Pengilly Dl at 14.

can satisff varying needs. The Company is currently awaiting an order in that case.
Conclusion
Overall, the results of the 2020 and 2021 marketing efforts were successful as evidenced by
Program growth of 44 percent. \Mile the funds available for marketing have decreased due to
increasing costs in other areas, ldaho Power will continue to pursue the most-effective ways to
market the Program. Lastly, ldaho Power looks forward to being able to offer additional
renewable energy options for its customers.

Green Power
bythe Numbers
As planned, in 2019, ldaho Power ended
its participation in unit 1 of the North
Valmy coal plant in Nevada; we also have
an agreement to exit unit 2by 2025.|n
addition, the Boardman plant in Oregon
is scheduled to cease coal-fired operations
this year. The third and final coal plant is
Jim Bridger in Wyoming, of which ldaho
Power owns one-third and PacifiCorp owns
two-thirds. We continue to explore options
with PacifiCorp as we plan the appropri-
ate end-of-life for the entire iim Bridger
plant. Based on the results of our current
integrated resource plan, we expect to
end participation in all coal resources
within this decade.
ldaho Power's coal-fired generation has
decreased for six consecutive years. As
recently as 2013, coal was our largest
energy source at 38.8%. In 2019, that
number was 16.3%, clean hydropower
rrmroPo,l,ER.
made up 44.60/o, and COz emissions
intensity levels decreased approximately
46% below our baseline year of 2005.
Also in 2019, within weeks of announc-
ing our 100% clean energy goal, ldaho
Power entered a 2O-year contract to
buy 120 megawatts of solar energy. This
clean, affordable energy will come from
a large solar array planned south of Twin
Falls and expected to come on-line in
lale2022. Our 100% clean energy goal
and long-term planning will continue COz
reductions. Want to learn more about our
clean energy plans? Visit idahopower.

Reducing Risk
in a Changing
Clrmate
Part of ldaho Power's sustainability plan
looks to reduce risk in a changing climate.
One of those risks - wildfires - is something
ldaho Power takes seriously and prepares for
year-round.
Our attention to safety and reliability starts
with the quality of our equipment, such as
power lines, poles, substations and transform-
ers. We design and build our equipment to
meet or exceed industry standards (including
bird-friendly line designs). We monitor the
equipment's condition and work hard to main-
tain it to keep it working properly.
Next is vigilance and upkeep. We operate
vegetation management programs and con-
duct routine line inspection and maintenance.
We're also developing a Wildfire Mitigation
Plan. When events do occur, we work with the
U.S. Bureau of Land N/anagement and Forest
Service to ensure a prompt response.

What are the
Benefits of
Electric Vehicles?
1. These figures reflect the renewables that we provided to ldaho Power's Green Power customers ln 2019.
2. New Renewables come from generation facilitles that first began commercial operation withln the past 15 years.
Fuelsavings: Mile for mile, it costs less
than half to fuel an EV compared to a gas-
powered vehicle. And with electricity prices
among the lowest in the nation, ldaho
Power makes charging EVs affordable.
Better air quality: With low or no tailpipe
emissions, EVs reduce air pollution.
Less Maintenance: EVs have fewer moving
parts and fewer fluids, resulting in lower
maintenance costs. Also, most EVs come
with a manufacturer warranty of up to 10
years or 100,000 miles.
Performance: With instant acceleration,
EVs are fun, quiet and easy to drive.

Hydroelectric (44.6%1, Other l.27.7c/61, Coal (16.3%), and Natural 6as & Diesel (u.4%).
(Other represents purchased power and/or power originally generated from
renewable facilities, lncluding a small portlon of renewable hydropower. ldaho Power
sells its Renewable Energy Certificates (REC) from renewable resources. The proceeds
from REC sales offset power supply costs, which benefits customers by keeping prlces
as low as possible. Because ldaho Power does not retain the REG, the electricity is
not counted as renewable energy delivered to customers.)
How is grcen power sold?
Green Power is sold in blocks of 100 kilowatt-hours (kWh) or matches 10O percent of
your energy (kWh) use.

The average home in ldaho Powe/s seruice area uses about 950 kwh per month (ldaho Power 2018). For the average
home, the 100% option would add an avercge 59.50 to the monthly bill to use 10o percent renewable enerty. As an
example ofthe Block Option, the home could use 5 Blocks ofgreen power to cover over half ofthe home's energy use
for an extra 95.00 each month.

Over the years, many customers have joined
the program, some for a short period and
others for decades. Participants come from
allwalks of life. paying a little extra to use
renewable energy at their home, business,
farm or large community event. When
customers support the Green Power
Program, they are also supporting the
Solar 4R Schools education program.
"We're delighted that so many of our
customers participate in this program,"
said Customer Relations and Energy
Efficiency Senior Manager Theresa Drake.
"ldaho Power is proud to provide this
important program that helps customers
lower their carbon footprint and reach their
sustainability goals."
Many utilities across the U.S. have similar
programs, so the combined buying power
demonstrates strong support for these
types of projects. For ldaho Power's
program, green power is sourced only
from renewable energy facilities in ldaho,
Oregon or Washington to ensure the
demand is localized to our region.
Since the program's launch, green power
purchases have increased a whopping
7847o, which clearly shows growing
support for renewable energy in the
Northwest. This is reflected in the yearly
increase of renewable energy in ldaho,
Oregon and Washington. ln 2001, these
states produced a combined 88,000
megawatt-hours (MWh) of wind and
solar energy. ln 2020, the total produced
was over 21 million MWhs - enough
to power more than 1.8 million average
homes'.
'Average home in ldaho Power's service area
uses about 1 1,800 kilowatt-hours per year.

Green Power for the Long Haul
Peaslery Tnnsfer and Storage - a moving and storage compary - has served
the Tleasure Valley for aner 1!10 yearc. Started in 1890, this urcll-established
community staple and longtinr Green Po^rcr Program partkipant (20 yearst)
has tnanaged tlpir business while keeping an eye tourard $stainability.
The company (now a division of Hansen
Brothers in Seattle), focuses on being
environmentally friendly and sustain-
ing natural resources. Not only do they
participate in the Green Power Program
to promote the use of renewable energy,
they also implement energy-efficient
measures at their offices and warehouses.
The company uses LED and motion-
censored lights and recently upgraded
their f leet of old diesel trucks to new
versions with greater fuel efficiency and
lower emissions. They compact and
recycle all un-used cardboard and pack-
ing supplies and are adopting electronic
signing and billing technologies to reduce
paper consumption.
How does 6rcen Power compare to the standard energy mlx?
ldaho Powe/s 2020 mix of resources supplying ldaho Power customers
included: Hydroelectric (39%), Other (2A.2%1, Coal (20.gyo), and Natural Gas
and Diesel (11.9%).
How ls trcen powcr rcld?
Green Power is sold in blocks of 100 kilowatt-hours (kwh) or matches
100% of your energy (kwhl use.
The averaSe home in ldaho Power's service area uses about 950 kwh per
month (ldaho Power 2019). For the average home, the 100% Option would add
an average 59.50 to the monthly bill to use 100% renewable energy. As an
example of the Block Option, the home could use 5 blocks ofgreen power to
cover over half of the home's energy use for an extra 55.00 each month.
They are also looking into getting electric
vehicles (EV) for their sales force and are
pricing out carbon-free, electrically powered
moving trucks to hopefully add to the fleet
one day. Fourth-generation owner Larry
Nelson said, "We take our responsibility to
help protect the planet very seriously. We're
committed to minimizing the impact our
operations have on the environment and
we strive to make environmentally friendly
decisions to benefit our customers, our staff
and our greater community."

Whatkgnen pourcr?
The U.S. Envlronmental Protection Agency (EPA) de-
fines green power as electricity produced from solar,
wlnd, geothermal, blogas, blomass and low-lmpact
small hydroelectrlc sources. These sources represent
renewable energy resources and technologles that
provlde the hlghest environmental benefit.
What ls a REC?
A Renanrable Energy Certificate (REC) ls created when
a megawatt-hour of renewable energy ls produced
and delivered to the grid. RECs increase demand
and drive development of more renewable energy
sources. All RECs purchased on behalf of Green Power
Program customers conform to Green-ec Energy Na-
tional Standard and are registered with the Western
Renewable Energy Generation lnformation System
(WREGIS). Program participants support Western-re-
glon-supplled renewable energy.
What ls the Green Porer Program?
The Green Power Program is a voluntary program that
allows ldaho Power customers to match thelr electrlc-
ity use with renewable nesources. By purchasing green
power, customers are using renewable solar and wind
energy.
Wll the rerwebh ener3y be
delhrered dlrcctlyto my home?
The electrlclty generated from the renewable
resources supported by the Green Power Program
flows to the Northwest poner-grid along with
electrlclty from all other resources. lt is not posslble
to direct electrons through the system to a specific
customer. By chooslng green power, you support
renewable energy and help lncrease the renewable
energy avallable to the entire system.
Can buslneeses partidpate?
AbsolutelylThe program ls open to any ldaho Power
customer. Many buslnesses particlpate and are listed
on ldaho Power's Green Power Program webpage
