RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 1: For Idaho PowE/S forecast of wildfire-related operation and maintenance (O&M) expenses, ldaho Power is applying a jurisdictional separation amount associated with total O&M, as reported in the Company's annua! FERC Form 1 filing. For 2021, the jurisdictional separation is 95.04 percent in ldaho and 4.96 percent in Oregon. This separation amount applies to all incremental wildfire mitigation O&M except for those activities only performed in one state, such as Red Risk Zone activities (the Company has no Red Risk Zones in Oregon). As the Company's wildfire mitigation work evolves and iflwhen service area risk assessments change, ldaho Power will revisit wildfire mitigation spending to determine if certain costs should be applied across the Company's service area. PIease see the attached spreadsheet with incrementalwildfire-related O&M totals for 2022-2025, as well as jurisdictional separation percentages and resulting Idaho and Oregon expenses by wildfire-mitigation line item. For deferral accounting, ldaho Power's actual costs must be assigned to specific FERC accounts. The jurisdictional separation amounts at the FERC account level stem from the Company's last genera! rate case. While the state separation approach differs between the forecast and actual accounting, the allocation between ldaho and Oregon is generally and consistently in the range of 95 percenU5 percent, respectively. The response to this Request is sponsored by Alison Williams, Regulatory Policy and Strategy Leader, ldaho Power Company. IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY - 2 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 2: Please describe the expenses that wil! be included in the new Information Technology cost category. Please explain whether this new category is limited to the EONS communication tool or if other expenses included. Please explain. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 2: The new Information Technology O&M cost category is primarily comprised of the EONS communication tool (initial implementation and ongoing usage costs), but it also includes O&M to develop an outage map that shows the latest status of Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) events/locations and is searchable by address. More specifically, $163,000 of lnformation Technology estimated O&M is for development of the PSPS outage map, configuration of the EONS Tool (template creation, workflow configuration, and access and permissions administration), identification of critical customers and facilities, development of integrations to load customer data into the tool, and end-user training. The remaining $528,000 of the estimated expense is comprised entirely of the cost to use the EONS platform for customer communication. This estimate was calculated using the base rate of $10,700 per month for access to the softrare and a messaging allocation for SMS, e-mail, and voice notifications. The messaging allocation allows for the following monthly amounts: 50,000 texts, 100,000 emails, and 50,000 voice notifications. EONS also atlows access to greater messaging amounts for an additional charge. Because the Company believes the included allocation amounts are sufficient to cover PSPS notifications, the Company did not include additlona! messaging charges in its estimate.

IDAHO POVVER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY.4 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 3: Please describe how the EONS communication tool works and its compatibility with other emergency management communication platforms used by the Company and the ldaho Office of Emergency Management. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 3: The EONS communication tool is an outbound communication system that allows ldaho Power to promptly and proactively notify customers of relevant information through various digita! channels. The system enables the Company to communicate with customers via SMS (text message), emai!, and/or automated voice calls. Messaging templates are pre- configured in the system with scripted language for specific events that can be reused when needed, which provides consistent messaging and easier process steps when notifications need to be triggered. The system is integrated with ldaho Power's primary customer data source system and Geographic lnformation System (GlS) system, providing the necessary contact details and geographical information to segment and contact the appropriate customers based on the specific event. When a notification campaign is needed, a system user will select the required aftributes to create the customer contact list, select the proper messaging template, define the appropriate channel(s) (SMS, email, voice), and trigger the notifications. Here are the general use cases that require the use of EONS: o Ad-hoc outage or safety messaging (e.9., upcoming outage, abnorma! outage situation such as a requested outage due to imminent wildfire, abnormal safety issue such as wildfire, etc.) . Public Safety Power Shutoff and other wildfire customer notifications IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO PO\A/ER COMPANY - 5 o Advanced customer communication related to any potential Load Curtailment ac{ivity.

IDAHO POVVER COMPA}IY'S RESPONSE TO THE FIRST PRODUCTION RESUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POVI/ER COMPANY.s REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 4: Please describe the costs for each component of the communications systems used for wildfire management including the new EONS tool. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 4: The EONS tool is the basis for the total cost of the communication system used for wildfire management, as identified in the lnformation Technology portion of the Company's application in this case. Please see the Company's response to Staffs Productlon Request No. 2 for a detailed breakdown of communication system cost estimates. The response to this Request is sponsored by Kirsten Becker, Applications and Analytics Senior Manager, ldaho Power Company IDAHO PO\A'ER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO ]DAHO PO\A'ER COMPANY - 7 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 5: Please provide a breakdown of the costs associated with the covered wire/conductor pilot project. Has the Company evaluated results of any similar projects conducted by other utility companies? lf not, why? lf yes, what are the key takeaways the Company learned? RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 5: ldaho Power is evaluating two construction types for the covered conductor/covered wire pilot to prevent or decrease the Iikelihood of wildfire ignition occurring in wildfire risk zones: conventional construction using standard crossarms and the use of a spacer cable system. The pilot will consist of installing both construction types in ldaho Powe/s Skills Training Facility to understand the requirements associated with installation, maintenan@, insulators, connectors, and tooling needs (both hand tools and hot stick attachments). The costs of the two construction types are broken down below: 1 Traditional Govered Conductor Materials = $28,814.87 Labor = $ 7,398.00 Equipment = $ 1.048.81 Tota! = $ 37,261.68 Soacer Cable Svstem: Materials =$ 31 ,626.71 Labor = $ 7,398.00 Equipment = $ 1.048.81 Total = $ 40,073.52 2. IDAHO PO\A/ER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE F]RST PRODUCTION REOUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY. S ldaho Power benchmarked with other utilities regarding their recent experience with covered conductor. The benchmarking included discussions with the 13 western utilities with wildfire mitigation plans. AIlbut one utility is using covered conductor in some capacity to decrease wildfire risk. ldaho Power has had multiple conversations with Southern California Edison, which has been utilizing covered conductor for approximately two years and is currently exploring spacer cable systems. The Company also gained feedback from Xcel Energy in Colorado, which is currently undergoing a four-mile field trialof covered conductor, and Rocky Mountain Power (PacifiCorp), which is beginning to install covered conductor in Utah. ln addition to benchmarking with other utilities, the Company collaborated with the Electric Power Research lnstitute (EPRI) to learn more about covered conducto/s service life and reliability benefits. Based on benchmarking and learnings from EPRI, ldaho Power surmises that covered conductor construction costs significantly more than standard overhead construction. Further, covered conductor cable is difficult to instal! and maintain. New construction standards must be created to account for increased weight and different span lengths. However, covered conductor can also bring substantial benefits in the form of substantial ignition reduction, improved reliability for customers, and reduced arc-flash risk for electricalworkers. Furthermore, some utilities have found the need for PSPS can be reduced or eliminated in areas utilizing covered conductor, thereby decreasing the likelihood and impact of PSPS on customers and communities. IDAHO PO\A'ER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POVVER COMPANY - 9 Based on its investigation and key takeaways from research and benchmarking, ldaho Power proposes to trial both construction types and associated products and hardware prior to committing to adopting more widely. The trialwill provide ldaho Power line crews the opportunity to get hands-on experience and provide feedback on which product is best from an installation and repair perspective. The safety of workers and the reliability of the distribution system are priorities, making the trial critical to ensure the materials are safe to installand can be efficiently and effectively maintained and repaired.

IDAHO PO\A'ER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO PO\A'ER COMPANY . 1O REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 6: Please explain how costs associated with fuel reduction are allocated with the ldaho Department of Lands, the National Forest Foundation, the U.S. Forest Service, and U.S. Bureau of Land Management and provide any supporting information or worksheets with formulas intact. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 6: As a point of clarification, ldaho Power's routine and enhanced vegetation management efforts are distinct from the fuel reduction program as described on page 20 of the Company's Application in this case. The Company-specific costs estimated for the fue! reduction program are based on the experiences and costs paid by other utilities for similar collaborative work on fuel reduction. The National Forest Foundation (NFF) has been working over the past year with the Boise National Forest and other partners to develop an implementation strategy for fuels reduction, forest health, and fire risk prevention. Their area of focus is referred to as the Boise Front FocalArea and includes the ldaho City fire shed, which ranks 13th out of more than 7,500 fire sheds in the country for wildfire risk to local communities. Much of the area is identified as high wildfire risk in ldaho Power's risk modeling analysis. The NFF acts as an aggregator of funding sources that can be used to complete priority fuels reduction and forest health across jurisdictional boundaries and non'forested !and. The allocation of funding is through the NFF, which puts the funding into direct contracts for work on the ground and oversees the work to ensure it is completed to specification. ldaho Power is currently working with the NFF on developing agreements that outline expectations from both parties, strategies, and funding arrangements. The NFF IDAHO PO\A'ER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY - 11 has partnered with other utilities on similar projects in the past including Liberty Utilities, Xcel Energy, Salt River Project, and Southern California Edison. The work performed under these arrangements has proven to decrease hazardous fuel accumulations near overhead powerlines, minimized the risk of powerline wildfire ignitions, and improved forest conditions in the vicinity of utility infrastructure. The response to this Request is sponsored by Jon Axtman, T&D Engineering and Reliability Senior Manager, ldaho Power Company. IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY - 12 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 7: Please explaln how the Company will prevent or minimize the risk of camera loss particularly in remote areas. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOB PRODUCTION NO. 7: ldaho Power's pilot efforts with cameras for early wildfire detection include identiffing optima! locations based on geographical wildfire risk areas. Through discussion with various camera manufacturers in 2022, ldaho Power learned that the risk of camera loss can be minimized by co-locating the station with other equipment that has existing physical security measures in place. Examples include deployment on cellular communications towers, microwave towers, and government communication sites. ldaho Power also has Company-owned communication sites that are being explored for camera installation. For locations where there is limited security, such as fire watch towers, equipment will be mounted as far out of reach as possible to be inaccessible to the public. To date, the manufacturer that ldaho Power is considering for deployment of cameras has not experienced any lost or intentionally damaged installations across six states. The response to this Request is sponsored by Jon Axtman, T&D Engineering and Reliability Senior Manager, ldaho Power Company. IDAHO PO\A'ER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO PO\A'ER COMPANY - 13 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 8: Please describe and provide supporting workpapers for the annual Operationa! and Maintenance ('O&M') @mera costs by each camera type including allcamera programs. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 8: ldaho Power is exploring wildfire detection cameras that utilize artificial intelligence (Al) to detect the start of a wildfire. The primary benefit of incorporating Al is that it can reduce response times by reducing human-created delays in fire detection. Furthermore, the cameras provide precise fire location that can be used to increase response times and suppression efficiency. The Company plans to begin piloting cameras in2023 to further evaluate risk- reduction benefits and to learn more of the complexities associated with installations, permitting, software, accuracy, and performance. The pilot will be critical in determining a long-term strategy for cameras in the future. Two purchase options are available for the camera the Company is considering for the pilot: an up-front purchase and a reoccurring service subscription. Under both options, costs associated with site contracting, securing right-of-way, power, permitting, and site licenses are included. Details of each option are described below: o Upfront Purchase: This option requires a five-year contract with an upfront cost of $200,000 per station and $10,000 per year for maintenance, warranty, and software. o Annual Subscription: This option requires a three-year contract with a cost of approximately $50,000 per station per year. The vendorwould maintain ownership of the station and ldaho Power would subscribe to all services such as software, IDAHO PO\A'ER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO PO\A'ER COMPANY.14 maintenanoe, etc. ln addition, this option provides: o Ongoing release of new features, cloud computing capacity, and cloud storage; o Ongoing refinement of algorithms, data gathering, modeltraining, and cloud computing; o Softuare configuration, including the load-in of assets and the provisioning of notification lists; o Software training, including a dedicated customer success agent and technicalsupport; and o Additional recurring services, including tower space renta!, land rental, maintenance, cellular connectivity, and power. Idaho Power is aligning its pilot with the annual subscription option, which offers a shorter commitment and is less expensive per camera installation. The Company is also exploring partnerships with federal and state agencies to partner on camera installations and costs. Wth a reduced contract period and lower short-term costs, the Company plans to pursue the subscription-based plan for the purposes of a pilot. All associated costs will be Operations and Maintenance expenses. However, as partnerships are developed, the Company will explore ways to decrease costs while still gaining the insight needed to meet the pilot objectives.

IDAHO PO\A'ER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO PO\A'ER COMPANY.l5 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO.9: Please provide a costcomparison of wood to fiberglass crossarms based on service life of each type. Please provide workpapers supporting the Company's assertion that fiberglass was the most cost-effective alternative when considering up-front capita! and installation costs. \A/ildfire Mitigation Plan at 32. \Nhen developing criteria for enhancing the resiliency of distribution circuits in wildfire risk zones, fiberglass was considered the best material due to its inflammable qualities and Iower susceptibility to electrical tracking. ldaho Power conducted analysis to determine the cost-benefit of transitioning to fiberglass crossarms over traditional wood apitong. The Company's specification for fiberglass includes a three-layer ultraviolet coating to maintain longevity. The service life of fiberglass crossarms is expected to meet or exceed wood apitong. The tables below summarize the cost comparison between fiberglass and wood apitong for two primary construction types. Cost Compaison: 1. Dead End (DE) Wood Crossarm (Apitong) vs Fiberglass Crossarm This analysis was performed by ldaho Power in 2018 to evaluate the use of fiberglass crossarms versus traditionalwood crossarms in dead-end applications. Due to the cost savings, ldaho Power elected to switch to fiberglass crossarms for all dead-end applications.

RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 10: Overhead-to- underground distribution conversion projects were performed on four line segments on three Boise Bench and Cartwright feeders in Boise, ldaho. These were the first underground conversion projects that the Company undertook to decrease wildfire risk. The areas were chosen for underground conversion based on the results of Company's risk quantification and modeling, summarized in the Company's Wildfire Mitigation Plan (!ryMP), that identified the areas as having a combination of high wildfire probability and high consequence (i.e., impacts to structures). Field assessments and feedback from local fire officials confirmed that the topography and surface fuels in the areas were conducive to rapid fire spread, which could lead to structure and human safety impacts. Another consideration was that undergrounding these particular line segments would decrease the overall risk profile of each feeder due to most of the feeder already having underground distribution.

IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY.lS REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 11: On page 12 of its Application, the Company describes a new weather forecasting ensemble. . a. Please provide a complete description of how the ensemble approach improves decision making and results the Company expects to achieve. o b. Please describe the costs for implementing and maintaining the forecasting ensemble and provide supporting information or workpapers with formulas intact. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUGTION NO. 11: a. Currently, ldaho Power runs the Weather Research and Forecasting (\A/RF) modeling system to generate a single trace, deterministic weather forecast to produce the Company's Fire Potential lndex and forecast wind speed. The single, deterministic weather forecast is driven by complex, initial atmospheric conditions with unquantifiable, inherent uncertainty. However, the uncertainty associated with a weather forecast can be assessed from the dispersion of an ensemble obtained by running the model multiple times with perturbed initial conditions and unique model parameterizations; if the forecast ensemble dispersion is small, then the uncertainty about the issued forecast is assumed to be small, and vice versa. Quantifiable uncertainty and the probability of occurrence of forecasted weather events will help to better support internal decision makers, particularly in PSPS operations under the WMP. ln addition to befter representing the uncertainty in a weather forecast, the multi- model ensemble approach leads to more consistency from forecast to forecast, as the change in the initial atmospheric conditions from one forecast to the next are more likely represented within the perturbation of the initial conditions and unique ]DAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISS]ON STAFF TO IDAHO PO\A'ER COMPANY - 19 model parametrizations used to create the ensemble forecast. An ensemble approach, as viewed by those using ensemble systems, provides a much higher level of accuracy and precision of forecasts (both spatial and tempora!) while also allowing the development of probabilities for the occurrence of when, where, and of what magnitude of events may occur by being able to better account for the variability between model realizations and the complexity of the atmosphere. This is less likely to be the case in the instance of a single trace forecast with a single initial condition and model parameterization. b. The estimated costs for implementing and maintaining the forecasting ensemble are captured under capital labor, materials, and purchased services for the purchase and installation of hardware and the development of the ensemble. !n addition, annua! maintenance costs include incremental purchase services to support the expanded high-performance computer system and ensemble, as wel! as amortized warranty costs. These costs are summarized below. Total Project Gapital Gost Estimate: $ 1,{01,000 ($991,000 plus 10o/o contingency) h Performance oted nsion Cost:000 1. See Attachments 1-4.

Explain the benefits of having a contractor perform the pole loading assessment. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 12: ldaho Powe/s wood pole inspection and treatment program consists of inspecting transmission and distribution (T&D) poles on a 1O-year frequency to identiff defects and remaining shell thickness. The poles are sounded and bored to detect decay and rot and are internally and externally treated to prevent decay and extend their !ife. While ldaho Power's traditional wood pole inspection and treatment program provides insight into the remaining life of poles, pole loading assessments provide deeper insight into an individual pole's structural capacity and resilience for the purposes of understanding an individual pole's vulnerability for failure during extreme weather conditions, such as high winds. The process of conducting pole loading assessments is made up of several steps. First, field collection is performed using Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology, GPS, and high-resolution imagery. The data captured is then formatted to obtain precise measurements of distances between poles, pole heights, equipment, and communication circuits. Digital models are created, and software is used to perform comprehensive structural load analysis to determine if the pole meets the requirements of the National Electrical Safety Code. Remaining strength estimation from ldaho Power's wood pole inspection and treatment program is incorporated into the structural load analysis. Such deep pole Ioading analysis is more cost-effectively performed by contractors that have the variety of tools and systems necessary to perform the holistic assessment.

RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 15: ldaho Power's transmission and distribution (T&D) vegetation management program addresses public safety and reliability by safeguarding T&D lines from trees and other vegetation. The Company inspects and prunes more than 400,000 trees on an ongoing basis. New vegetation monitoring tools using satellite and aeria! imagery have come on the market recently that provide specific intelligence on a given area's vegetation encroachment and hazard trees that may cause outages or potential ignition. \A/hile ldaho Power utilizes Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for some line inspections, UAVs are not equipped for analyzing vegetation and vegetation groMh. Additionally, UAVs are limited by their overal! range and have geographic restrictions without a permit to operate Beyond Visua! Line of Sight. The pilot effort as proposed by the Company will use satellite and aerial imagery systems with artificial intelligence to identiff vegetation-related problem areas (e.9., areas with faster growing vegetation and individual "cycle bustef trees) more quickly with less labor and resource needs than using UAVs. The timing of conducting satellite and aerial patrols is also an important factor to consider. The response to this Request is sponsored by Jon Axtman, T&D Engineering and Reliability Senior Manager, ldaho Power Company. IDAHO PO\A/ER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO PO\A'ER COMPANY - 27 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 16: Please provide a detailed description of the costs associated with the $11.7 million incremental expense for transition to a three- year clearing cycle, please include any workpapers with formulas enabled. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 16: Please refer to the attached spreadsheet for this response. The Company also provides the following context to help reconcile the incrementalvegetation management expenses identified in the two cost deferrals - IPC-E-21-02 and the current case, IPC-E-22-27. ln ldaho Powe/s first wildfire cost deferral application (lPC-E-21-02), the Company estimated the 2021-2025 incremental costs to transition and maintain a 3-year line clearing cycle to be $36,302,000. To estimate this value, ldaho Power assumed that contractor rates would roughly increase 5 percent annually through 2025 and that the workload to accomplish the transition would be level and consistent for each year of the term. Vegetation management contract negotiations were finalized in January 2022 for a three-year term and, contrary to the Company's assumptions, actual contract rates increased an average of 27 perent for 2022 and roughly 5 percent each year thereafter. ln addition, the negotiated workload is not level throughout the term. Rather, the estimated hours in the workplan start smaller in 2022 and ramp up each year through 2025. The Company's current wildfire deferral filing reflects negotiated contract pricing and workload changes that, together, result in a new tota! estimated incremental cost of $48 million from202l through 2025<r an additional incremental amount of $1 1 .7 million as reflected in the Company's application in this case. IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY - 28 The response to this Rquest is sponsorcd by Jon Axtrnan, T&D Engineering and Reliability Senior Manager, with support from Brent Van Patten, Enginering Leader, ldaho Power Oompany. IDAHO POWER COMPATtrS RESPONSE TO THE FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISS.ION S'TAFF TO IDAHO POV'JER COMPANY . 29 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 17: Please provide examples of materials and programs the Company intends to provide customers for the Public Safety Power Shutoff ('PSPS") plan. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 17: Public Safety Power Shutoff ('PSPS") communication generally falls into two categories: 1) broad outreach to all customers for education and awareness, and 2) targeted outreach to customers in PSPS zones. The following summary applies primarily to PSPS communications but with some unavoidable overlap with more general wildfi re-related communications. Communication methods vary based on the particular audience the Company is trying to reach and the goal of the communication. The examples below are from 2022, but the Company expects to provide similar materials going forward. . The May issue of our monthly all-customer newsletter Connections provided an overview of wildfire season preparations and an introduction to what a PSPS is, along with tips for how to prepare for summer outages. IDAHO POVVER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY - 30 May lssue of Connecfions ldaho Power for Wildfire Season b.-.:p -r 5a--rI & !--l- EE.- ftrl The Company developed a PSPS overview video to explain what a PSPS is, what impacted customers may expect, and how to prepare for wildfire- related outages. Texts, emails, and phone calls were sent to all customers living in PSPS zones with information about PSPS and how to prepare, including updating contact information. The Company used a new communication tool, EONS, to notifu these customers. The new tool allowed the Company to see which customers ldaho Power was unable to reach. The Company followed up with letters to these customers.
