RE: Release of Transmission Line Easement
Dear Ms. Huang
This letter is to inform the ldaho Public Utilities Commission ("Commission") that ldaho
Power Company ("ldaho Powed' or "Company'') recently released a transmission line easement
("Easement") that it acquired in 1995 in Ada County, ldaho. ln the past, ldaho Power has notified
the Commission of Company land sales with reference to ldaho Code $61-328, which requires
Commission approval of certain utility property sales. While the current release of easement is
not a land sale, ldaho Power did receive compensation for the release and wishes to inform the
Commission of the transaction and the Company's internal accounting for the transaction.
ldaho Power acquired the Easement on December 6, 1995 for Transmission Line 456.
However, the designated route for the transmission line was subsequently moved to the east,
and as a result the Easement was "stranded" on the property, with no connecting easements to
allow for future transmission line development.
ln 2015, ldaho Power received a request to release the Easement (total acreage - 1.38
acres) for the proposed development of the property crossed by the Easement. ldaho Power
negotiated with the landowner (The Land Group, on behalf of Toby and Linda Williamson) and
agreed to release the Easement for a payment of $50,000. A copy of the executed Release of
Easement form is attached hereto as Attachment 1.
ldaho Power has also attached a copy of the accounting entries for the release of
Easement as Attachment 2 to this letter. The entries show the $50,000 release price for the
Easement, and ldaho Power's total book value for the Easement of $180,896.27. ldaho Power
does not believe that the release of the Easement requires the approval of the Commission under
ldaho Code 561-328, which applies to the sale or transfer of property in ldaho "which is used in
the generation, transmission, distribution or supply of electric power and energy to the public."
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments relating to this information filing
by ldaho Power.,ffiw9"
