(a) Idaho Code $61-332 defines as its purpose: to promote harmony among and
between electric suppliers, prohibit pirating of consumers, discourage
duplication of electric facilities, and stabilize the territories and consumer
services of electric suppliers. The agreement between the city of Idaho Falls
and the Company was intended to meet this purpose, consistent with the
public interest.
(b) The purchase price is designed to compensate the Company for the investment
to serve those customers so as not to impact other customers.
(c) The city of Idaho Falls has been an electric supplier for decades and is
expected to continue to provide electric service to its customers.
