NEWS RELEASE: Electric utility submits applications seeking approval to enter into service
territory agreements.

BOISE (March 11, 2024) – The Riverside Electric Company has submitted three applications to
the Idaho Public Utilities Commission asking for approval to enter into service territory
agreements with Farmers Electric Company, the city of Rupert and East End Mutual Electric.

These electric companies offer service to customers in the Burley/Rupert area.

Service territory agreements are required to comply with the terms spelled out in the Electric
Supplier Stabilization Act, which prohibits an electric supplier from serving another electric
supplier’s existing or former customers. In addition, Idaho code clarifies that the stabilization act
is designed to promote harmony between electric suppliers, prohibit the pirating of utility
customers, discourage duplication of electric facilities and stabilize service territories and
consumers.

The commission can approve the applications, deny them or modify them.

Written comments are being accepted on all three applications until April 24, 2024. Comments
are required to be filed through the commission’s website or by e-mail unless computer access is
