DEFINITIONS
The terms listed below, which are used frequently in this Tariff, will have the stated meanings:
Billing Period is the period intervening between meter readings and shall be approximately 30
days. However, Electric Service covering 27-33 days inclusive will be considered a normal Billing Period.
Commission refers to the Idaho Public Utilities Commission.
Company refers to Idaho Power Company.
Customer is the individual, partnership, association, organization, public or private corporation,
government or governmental agency receiving or contracting for Electric Service.
Demand is the average kilowatts (kW) or horsepower (HP) supplied to the Customer during the
15-consecutive-minute period of maximum use during the Billing Period, as shown by the Company's
meter, or determined in accordance with the demand clause in the schedule under which service is
supplied. In no event, however, will the maximum demand for the Billing Period be less than the demand
determined as specified in the schedule.
Electric Service is the availability of power and energy in the form and at the voltage specified in
the Idaho Electric Service Request or agreement, irrespective of whether electric energy is actually
utilized, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh).
Month (unless calendar month is stated) is the approximate 30-day period coinciding with the
Billing Period.
Normal Business Hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays
observed by the Company. Notice of office closures for holidays are posted, in advance, at the Company
office entrances.

All service rates and agreements are subject to the continuing jurisdiction and regulation of such
authority, as provided by law.
When any municipal corporation or other local taxing agency imposes on the Company any
franchise, occupation, sales, license, excise, business, operating, privilege, or use of street tax or
charge based upon meters or Customers, or upon electricity sold or the receipts or income therefrom,
the prorate amount thereof will be billed to all Customers in the area or locality in which such tax or
charge applies and will be separately stated on, and added to, the regular billing.
2. Supplying of Service. Service will be supplied under a given schedule only to Points of
Delivery as are adjacent to facilities of the Company, adequate and suitable as to capacity and voltage for
the service desired and under the schedule applicable thereto. The Company will not be obligated to
construct extensions or install additional service facilities except in accordance with Rule H. In all other
cases, special agreements between the Customer and the Company may be required.

6. Point of Delivery Service Requirements. A Customer may be served at more than one
Point of Delivery at the same Premises if practicable, unless otherwise specified in a schedule. Service at
each Point of Delivery at the same Premises will be offered under the appropriate schedule. The
Customer's request for service at an additional Point of Delivery will be subject to the applicable line
extension rules of the Company. The Company may refuse to provide service at more than one Point of
Delivery at the same Premises if it is determined by the Company that the additional Point of Delivery
cannot be provided without jeopardizing the safety and reliability of the Company's system or service to
the Customer or to other Customers. Service provided to a Customer at multiple Points of Delivery at the
same Premises will not be interconnected electrically.
Where separate Points of Delivery exist for supplying service to a Customer at a single
Premises or separate meters are maintained for measurement of service to a Customer at a single
Premises, the meter readings will not be combined or aggregated for any purpose except for
determining if the Customer's total power requirements exceed 25,000 kW. Special contract
arrangements will be required when a Customer's aggregate power requirement exceeds 25,000 kW.
Service delivered at low voltage (600 volts or under) will be supplied from the Company's
distribution system to the outside wall of the Customer's building or service pole, unless an exception is
granted by the Company and the City or State Electrical Inspector.
The Customer's facilities will be installed and maintained in accordance with the requirements of
the National Electrical Code.
7. Limitation of Use. A Customer will not resell electricity received from the Company to any
person except where the Customer is owner, lessee, or operator of a commercial building, shopping
center, apartment house, mobile home court, or other multi-family dwelling where the use has been sub­
metered prior to July 1, 1980, and the use is billed to tenants at the same rates that the Company would
charge for service, unless the Commission authorizes alternative procedures.
A Customer's wiring will not be extended or connected to furnish service to more than one
building or place of use through one meter, even though such building, property, or place of use is
owned by the Customer. This rule is not applicable where the Customer's business consists of one or
more adjacent buildings or places of use located on the same Premises or operated as an integral unit,
under the same name and carrying on parts of the same business.

1. Meter Installations. The Company will install and maintain the metering equipment
required by the Company to measure power and energy supplied to the Customer. Meter installations
will be done at the Company's expense except as specified below or otherwise specified in a schedule.
Customer provisions for meter installations will be made in conformance with Company specifications,
the National Electrical Code, and/or applicable state or municipal requirements.
a. Instrument Transformer Metering. If the Customer specifically requests
instrument transformer metering which is not required by the Company, the cost of such
metering equipment and its installation will be paid to the Company by the Customer in
accordance with the charges specified in Schedule 66.
b. Off-Site Meter Reading Service. Customers taking single-phase service under
Schedule 1 or Schedule 7 may request the Company install metering equipment which provides
for off-site meter reading. The installation fee and monthly charges for off-site meter reading
capability, when the service is requested by the Customer but not deemed to be cost-effective by
the Company, are specified in Schedule 66. The Company shall have the sole right to determine
whether an installation is cost-effective. Customers who request the Company-installed off-site
meter reading equipment be removed within 90 days of initial installation will be assessed a
removal fee in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 66. Due to the specialized nature of
the metering equipment, a delay may occur between the time a Customer requests the Off-Site
Meter Reading Service and the time the equipment is available for installation. Customers
utilizing the Off-Site Meter Reading Service may be required to periodically permit Company
personnel access to the meter in order for maintenance to be performed.
c. Load Profile Metering. The Company will install, at the Customer's request, the
metering equipment necessary to provide load profile information. The installation fee and
monthly charges for load profile capability, when the service is requested by the Customer but not
provided by the Company as part of the standard meter installation, are specified in Schedule 66.
The options available under the Load Profile Metering Service include Meter Pulse Output Service
and Load Profile Recording Service. Customers requesting the Load Profile Recording Service
are responsible for providing, at their own expense, a hard-wired phone line to each metering
point. Customers who request the Load Profile Metering Service be discontinued within 36
months of initial installation will be assessed a removal fee in accordance with the provisions of
Schedule 66.

d. Surge Protection Device Services (Continued)
The Company will not install any surge protection device without proof that the vendor of
the surge protection device has executed and delivered to the Company an agreement (in a
form acceptable to the Company) which provides for the full defense and indemnification of the
Company by the vendor against any claims, suits, or losses associated with such device.
Any surge protection device the Company is requested to install on the meter must be
Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. certified and meet National Electric Energy Testing, Research
and Application Centers (NEETRAC) test standards or comparable test standards.
ii. Surge Protection Device Customer Visit Charge.
(1) If a surge protection device installation visit results in the inability
of Company personnel to install the surge protection device due to safety
concerns, inaccessibility to the meter base or other utility access points, or other
factors deemed reasonable by the Company, a Surge Protection Device
Customer Visit Charge will be applied as specified in Schedule 66. The
Company has the sole right to ultimately determine installation feasibility.
(2) Customers who request the Company perform an on-site visit to
assess alleged electrical problems believed to be associated with the surge
protection product will be charged a Surge Protection Device Customer Visit
Charge as specified in Schedule 66 if no problems associated with the electrical
service are found as a result of the visit.
e. Primarv Voltage Metering. The Company will install, at its own expense, a
maximum of one primary voltage meter at a single Premises to record usage taken at 12.5 kV or
34.5 kV.
2. Measurement of Enerav. Except as otherwise specifically provided, all energy delivered
by the Company will be billed according to measurement by meters located at or near the Point of
Delivery.
If the Company is unable to read a Customer's meter because of reasons beyond the
Company's control, such as weather conditions or the inability to obtain access to the Customer's
Premises, the Company may estimate the meter reading for the Billing Period on the basis of the
Customer's previous use, season of the year and use by similar Customers of the same class in that
service area. Bills rendered on estimated readings will be so designated on the bill. The amount of
such estimated bill will be subsequently adjusted, as necessary, when the next actual reading is
obtained.

2. Measurement of Energy (Continued)
Should the Company be unable to read a Customer's meter for two consecutive Billing Periods,
the Company will diligently attempt to contact the Customer by telephone and/or letter to apprise the
Customer of the necessity of a meter reading and to make arrangements to read the meter or request
the Customer to record and return the meter reading on a card provided by the Company. If such
arrangements cannot be made or if the Customer fails to return the meter reading card, the Company
may estimate the meter reading.
3. Failure to Register. If the Company's meters fail to register at any time, the service
delivered and energy consumed during such period of failure will be determined by the Company on the
basis of the best available data. If any appliance or wiring connection, or any other device, is found on
the Customer's Premises which prevents the meters from accurately recording the total amount of energy
used on the Premises, the Company may at once remove any such wiring connection or appliance, or
device, at the Customer's expense, and will estimate the amount of energy so consumed and not
registered as accurately as it is able so to do, and the Customer will pay for any such energy within 5
days after being billed, in accordance with such estimate.
4. Meter Tests. The Company will test and inspect its meters from time to time and maintain
their accuracy of registration in accordance with generally accepted practices and the rules and
regulations established by the Idaho Public Utilities Commission. The Company will, without charge, test
the accuracy of registration of a meter upon request of a Customer, provided that the Customer does not
request such a test more frequently than once in a 12-month period. If more than one requested test is
performed within a 12-month period, the Customer will be required to pay in advance the estimated cost
of a special meter test as specified in Schedule 66. The Company will refund the amount paid by the
Customer for the test if the results of the test show the average registration error of the meter exceeds ±2
percent.
5. Transformer Losses. When delivery of service is on the primary side of the Customer's
transformers, the Company may install its meters on the secondary side of the transformers, and, unless
otherwise provided in the schedule, in determining the monthly consumption of power and energy,
transformer losses and other losses occurring between the Point of Delivery and the meters will be
computed and added to the reading of such meters.
6. Meter Reading. Meters will be read to the last kWh registered, normally at intervals of
approximately 30 days. In no case will the meter reading interval exceed 45 days.
The Company reserves the right to modify meter reading schedules as required by changing
conditions.

parks connected for service after July 1, 1980, must be individually metered by the Company.
Master-metering of these tenants, whether or not in conjunction with sub-metering by the park
operator, is prohibited.
b. Exception for Grandfathered Sub-Metered Parks. Mobile home parks connected
for service before July 1, 1980, whose spaces for tenants (excluding transients) have been fully
sub-metered for electricity by the park owners need not be individually metered by the Company.
Mobile home parks sub-metered by the park operator must charge each of their tenants the same
rate for electric service that a residential Customer of the Company would be charged if the tenant
were directly metered and billed by the Company. Testing of sub-meters will be at the park
operator's expense.
c. Parks metered prior to July 1, 1980. Transition Rule for Sub-Metered Parks.
Mobile home parks that were partially sub-metered on July 1, 1980, must have individually
metered all spaces to be used by non-transient tenants before January 1, 1981. At the option of
the park operator, the operator may extend an existing sub-metering system to those spaces not
metered by the operator or may request the Company to meter the unmetered spaces for non­
transient tenants at the Company's expense.
d. Comoanv Payment for Reading Sub-Meters. The Company will pay the park
operator $1.15 per month per sub-metered occupied customer space. The Company will only pay
$1.15 per month per space that is occupied during the month.
e. List of Grandfathered Mobile Home Parks. The Company will file with the
Commission a list of "grandfathered" mobile home park operators who are entitled to a payment
for sub-metered occupied customer spaces. Each month, the owner-operator will certify to the
Company the number of spaces that were occupied during the month. The Company will have
the right to request from the owner-operator reasonable documentation of any customer account
be provided to the Company.

BILLINGS
1. Fractional Periods. Upon initiating or discontinuing service under Schedules 1, 7, 9, 19,
24 or 25 the Energy Charge will be calculated using actual meter readings. The Energy Charge for
services provided under Schedule 40 will be determined using the daily kWh calculated on the basis of
load size and number of units served multiplied by the actual number of days since the account was
opened or since the previous billing, where appropriate. The proration of the applicable Demand
Charge, Basic Charge, Facilities Charge, and Service Charge specified in the appropriate schedule will
be calculated by dividing the charge by 30 and multiplying the result by the actual number of days since
the account was opened or since the previous meter reading, where appropriate. However, the
prorated Service Charge for Schedules 1, 7, 9, 19, 24, or 25 or the Minimum Charge for Schedule 40,
will be no less than the amount specified in Schedule 66. For Schedule 15, the proration of the
applicable Monthly Charge will be calculated by dividing the charge by 30 and multiplying the result by
the actual number of days since the account was opened or the previous billing, where appropriate;
however, in no event will the charge be less than the amount specified in Schedule 66.
2. Corrected Billings. Whenever it is determined that a Customer was billed under an
inappropriate schedule, the Customer will be rebilled under the appropriate schedule, except if the
Company selected the schedule on the basis of available information and acted in good faith, the
Company will not be required to rebill or adjust billings. The rebilling period will be no more than the 3-
year period as provided by Idaho Code §61-642.
If the average error for any meter test exceeds ±2 percent, corrected billings will be prepared.
The corrected billings will not exceed 6 months if the time when the malfunction or error began is
unknown. If the time when the malfunction or error began is known, the corrected billings will be from that
time, but will not exceed the 3 year period as provided by Idaho Code §61-642. If an under billing occurs,
the Company will offer and enter into reasonable payment arrangements with the Customer. For any
over billings, the Customer will have the choice of a refund or a credit on future bills.
3. Due Dates. The Company's practices relating to Due Dates are governed by the Utility
Customer Relations Rules (UCRR) of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission, in effect at the time the
event occurred which required application of the UCRR. If the Company's Rules and Regulations on
file with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission contain provisions which conflict with the UCRR, the
provisions of the UCRR supersede those included in the Company's Rules and Regulations.
4. Returned Checks. Checks or payments remitted by Customers in payment of bills are
accepted conditionally. A Returned Check Charge, as specified in Schedule 66, will be assessed the
Customer for handling each check or payment upon which payment has been refused by the bank.
5. Late Payments. A Late Payment Charge, as provided in Schedule 66, will be levied
against any delinquent account except for accounts of agencies and taxing districts of the State of Idaho
as described in paragraph 6 of this schedule. All payments received by the billing date will apply to the
Customer's account prior to calculating the Late Payment Charge. Payments will satisfy the oldest
portion of the billing first and the current portion of the billing last.

BILLINGS
(Continued)
Late Payment Charges will continue to accrue against unpaid disputed bill amounts. If the dispute
is resolved in favor of the Customer, all disputed charges plus any associated Late Payment Charges will
be deleted from the Customer's account. If the dispute is resolved in favor of the Company, all disputed
charges plus any associated Late Payment Charges will become due and payable.
6. Late Payments for Agencies and Taxing Districts of the State of Idaho. Under the
authority of Idaho Code §67-2302, an agency or taxing district of the State of Idaho has 60 days from the
date that the bill is received to pay that bill. If a state agency or taxing district does not pay the bill within
the 60-day period, all of the provisions of Idaho Code §67-2302 will apply and the Late Payment Charge
as specified in Schedule 66 will be levied against the delinquent account.
Any state agency or taxing district that claims that it falls within the provisions of Idaho Code §67-
2302 must notify Idaho Power Company in writing of such claim.
7. Temporary Suspension of Demand. When the Customer is obliged temporarily to
suspend operation due to strikes, actions of any governmental authority, acts of God or the public
enemy, the Customer may procure a proration of the monthly Billing Demand based upon the period of
such suspension by giving immediate written notice to the Company. However, all monthly Minimum
Charges and/or obligations will continue to apply as specified in the applicable schedule or a written
agreement.

RULE I
BUDGET PAY PLANS
1. Residential Budget Pay Plan - Schedule 1. A Budget Pay Plan is available to Residential
Customers desiring to levelize payments for electric service. If a Customer has more than one electric
service on the account, each electric service charge will be levelized individually. A Customer may sign
up for the Budget Pay Plan at any time during the year. In order to be eligible for the Budget Pay Plan,
the Customer's account must not be in arrears.
The levelized payment will approximate the average of 12 monthly billings based on either the
historical charges, or an estimate of future charges. The Budget Pay amount for each electric service
on the account will be adjusted to the next higher dollar. Budget Pay amounts will be recalculated at
the 12-month (or 365-day) anniversary of the date the Customer began paying the most current Budget
Pay amount(s). The new monthly payment will be the recalculated Budget Pay amount(s). A
Customer's Budget Pay amount(s) may decrease, increase, or remain the same.
Customers with a negative balance in their Budget Pay Plan account at the time of recalculation
will have monthly Budget Pay charges equal to the recalculated Budget Pay amount plus one-twelfth of
the negative balance. At the Customer's request, a negative balance may be paid in full. Customers with
a positive balance in their Budget Pay Plan account at the time of recalculation, or upon termination of the
agreement after all charges for services have been paid, will be refunded at the Customer's request. If no
request for refund is made, the monthly Budget Pay charges will be equal to the recalculated Budget Pay
amount reduced by one-twelfth of the positive balance. Upon the Customer's request, a positive balance
for one Budget Pay electric service may be transferred to the balance of another Budget Pay electric
service on the account.
Any estimates furnished by the Company with such Budget Pay Plan should not be construed as
a guarantee that the total actual charges will not exceed the estimates. The Company, because of rate
changes or other requirements, may at any time submit a revised estimate to the Customer and require
that the Customer pay the revised monthly Budget Pay installment as a condition to the continuation of
the Budget Pay Plan for the Customer.
The Budget Pay amount(s) will be billed on the regular service bill each month. Once
established, the Budget Pay Plan will remain in effect from year to year until the Customer notifies the
Company not less than 30 days prior to the desired date of cancellation or unless the Customer fails to
pay the agreed amounts.
2. Small General Service Budget Pay Plan - Schedule 7. A Budget Pay Plan is available to
Small General Service Customers receiving service on Schedule 7. If a Customer has more than one
electric service on the account, each electric service charge will be levelized individually. If a Customer
transfers to another schedule (other than Schedule 1 ), the Budget Pay Plan will not be available. A
Customer may sign up for the Budget Pay Plan at any time during the year.

In order to qualify, the Customer must have been receiving service at the same location, under the
same ownership and account number, and with all monthly billings paid on or before the past due date for
at least 12 months prior to applying for the Budget Pay Plan. The Customer must maintain the payment
status as described above or the Customer will be removed from the Budget Pay Plan on the next
monthly billing and all past due balances will become immediately due and payable.
The levelized payment will approximate the average of 12 monthly billings based on historical
charges. Budget Pay amounts will be recalculated at the 12-month (or 365-day) anniversary of the date
the Customer began paying the most current Budget Pay amount(s). The Budget Pay amount for each
electric service on the account will be adjusted to the next higher dollar. The new monthly payment will
be the recalculated Budget Pay amount(s). A Customer's Budget Pay amount(s) may decrease,
increase, or remain the same.
Customers with a negative balance in their Budget Pay Plan account at the time of recalculation
will have monthly Budget Pay charges equal to the recalculated Budget Pay amount plus one-twelfth of
the negative balance. At the Customer's request, a negative balance may be paid in full. Customers with
a positive balance in their Budget Pay Plan account at the time of recalculation, or upon termination of the
agreement after all charges for services have been paid, will be refunded at the Customer's request. If no
request for refund is made, the monthly Budget Pay charges will be equal to the recalculated Budget Pay
amount reduced by one-twelfth of the positive balance. Upon the Customer's request, a positive balance
for one Budget Pay electric service may be transferred to the balance of another Budget Pay electric
service on the account.
Any estimates furnished by the Company with such Budget Pay Plan should not be construed as
a guarantee that the total actual charges will not exceed the estimates. The Company, because of rate
changes or other requirements, may at any time submit a revised estimate to the Customer and require
that the Customer pay the revised monthly Budget Pay installment as a condition to the continuation of
the Budget Pay Plan for the Customer.
The Budget Pay amount(s) will be billed on the regular service bill each month. Once established,
the Budget Pay Plan will remain in effect from year to year until the Customer notifies the Company not
less than 30 days prior to the desired date of cancellation or unless the Customer fails to pay the agreed
amounts.

RULE J
CONTINUITY, CURTAILMENT AND
INTERRUPTION OF ELECTRIC
SERVICE
1. Electric Service is inherently subject to occasional interruption, suspension, curtailment,
and fluctuation. The Company will have no liability to its Customers or any other persons for any
interruption, suspension, curtailment, or fluctuation in service or for any loss or damage caused thereby if
such interruption, suspension, curtailment, or fluctuation results from any of the following:
a. Causes beyond the Company's reasonable control including, but not limited to,
fire, flood, drought, winds, acts of the elements, court orders, insurrections or riots, generation
failures, lack of sufficient generating capacity, breakdowns of or damage to facilities of the
Company or of third parties, acts of God or public enemy, strikes or other labor disputes, civil,
military or governmental authority, electrical disturbances originating on or transmitted through
electrical systems with which the Company's system is interconnected, and acts or omissions of
third parties;
b. Repair, maintenance, improvement, renewal or replacement work on the
Company's electrical system, which work in the sole judgment of the Company is necessary or
prudent; to the extent practicable work shall be done at such time as will minimize inconvenience
to the Customer and, whenever practicable, the Customer shall be given reasonable notice of
such work;
c. Actions taken by the Company, which in its sole judgment are necessary or
prudent to protect the performance, integrity, reliability or stability of the Company's electrical
system or any electrical system with which it is inter-connected, which actions may occur
automatically or manually.
2. Load curtailment and interruption carried out in compliance with an order by governmental
authority shall follow the Company's plan entitled "Load Curtailment and Interruption Procedure", as filed
with and approved by the Commission.
3. The provisions of this rule do not affect any persons rights in tort.

CUSTOMER'S LOAD AND
OPERATIONS
1. Interference with Service. The Company reserves the right to refuse to supply loads of a
character that may seriously impair service to any other Customers, or may disconnect existing service
if it is seriously impairing service to any other Customers. In the case of pump hoist or elevator motors,
welders, furnaces, compressors, and other installations of like character where the use of electricity is
intermittent, subject to voltage fluctuations, or causes voltage notching or draws a nonsinusoidal
(harmonically distorted) load current, the Company may require the Customer to provide equipment, at
the Customer's expense, to reasonably limit such fluctuations.
2. Practices and Requirements for Harmonic Control. Customers are required to comply
with the Practices and Requirements for Harmonic Control in Electric Power Systems as set forth in the
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers ("IEEE") Standard 519-1992. The values indicated by
IEEE Standard 519-1992 apply at the point where the Company's equipment interfaces with the
Customer's equipment.
3. Change of Load Characteristic. The Customer shall give the Company prior notice
before making any significant change in either the amount or electrical character of the Customer's
electrical load thereby allowing the Company to determine if any changes are needed in the Company's
equipment or distribution system.
4. Protection of Electrical Equipment. The Company reserves the right to refuse single
phase service to motors larger than 7 1 /2 horsepower.
The Customer is solely responsible for the selection, installation, and maintenance of all
electrical equipment and wiring (other than the Company's meters and apparatus) on the load side of
the Point of Delivery. All motor installations should include effective protection apparatus or have
inherent construction within the motor to accomplish equivalent protection as follows:
a. Overload or overcurrent protection for each motor by suitable thermal relays,
fuses or circuit interrupting devices automatically controlled to disconnect the motor from the
line to protect it from damage caused by over-heating. Installation of protection in each
conductor connected to three-phase motors is recommended.
b. Open phase protection on all polyphase installations to disconnect motors from
the line in the event of opening of one phase.
c. All polyphase motors for the operation of passenger and freight elevators,
cranes, hoists, draglines, and similar equipment will be provided with reverse phase relays or
equivalent devices, for protection in case of phase reversal.
d. Motors that cannot safely be subjected to full voltage at starting should be
provided with a device to insure that, on failure of voltage such motors will be disconnected from
the line. It is also recommended that such device be provided with a suitable time delay relay.

5. Allowable Motor Starting Currents. The starting currents (such currents shall be
determined by tests or based on published data by manufacturers) of alternating current motors up to
100 horsepower will not exceed the allowable locked rotor current values shown in the following table,
corrections being allowed to compensate for the difference between the voltage supply at the motor
terminals and its rated voltage. If the starting current of the motor exceeds the locked rotor current
value given in the table, a starter must be used or other means employed to limit the starting current to
the locked rotor current value specified, except that such starting equipment may be omitted by written
permission of the Company where the absence of such starting equipment will not cause objectionable
voltage fluctuations. Maximum permissible locked rotor current values in the following table apply to a
single motor installation. Starters may be omitted on the smaller motors of an installation consisting of
more than one motor when their omission will not result in a current in excess of the allowable locked
rotor current of the largest motor of the group.

DEPOSITS
1. Residential and Small Commercial Customers. Unless otherwise specified in another rule,
the Company's practices relating to deposits are governed by the Utility Customer Relations Rules
(UCRR) of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission, in effect at the time the event occurred which required
application of the UCRR.
2. Large Commercial and Special Contract Customers. The Company may require a
deposit from Large Commercial or Special Contract Customers as follows:
Existing Customers. A deposit may be required for failure to pay the amount due on or before
the date the bill is delinquent or the current status of the Customer's business does not pass an
objective credit screen.
Applicants. A deposit may be required if the nature of the applicant's business is speculative or
subject to a high rate of failure, or the applicant is applying for service with the Company for the first
time, or the applicant has an outstanding prior service account with the Company that accrued within
the last four years and at the time of application for service remains unpaid and not in dispute, or the
current status of the applicant's business does not pass an objective credit screen.
a. Written Explanation for Denial of Service or Requirement of Deposit. If the
Company denies service or requires a cash deposit as a condition of providing or continuing
service, then it will immediately provide a written explanation to the applicant or Customer
stating the reasons why it denies service or requires a deposit. The applicant or Customer will
be given an opportunity to rebut those reasons.
b. Amount of Deposit. The amount of the deposit shall not exceed two times the
Customer's or applicant's actual or estimated highest monthly bill. The deposit may be paid in
two equal installments; the first installment must be paid at the time of the application for service
or upon notice from the Company to existing customers, and the second installment must be
paid within 30 days.
c. Interest on Deposits. Interest on deposits held by the Company shall be accrued
at the rate established by the Commission specified in IDAPA 31.21.01 Rule 106. Interest shall
be computed from the time the deposit is made until it is refunded or applied to the Customer's
regular bill. Interest will not accrue on a deposit if service is discontinued temporarily at the
request of a Customer who leaves the deposit with the Company for future use as a deposit, or
if service has been permanently discontinued and the Company has been unsuccessful in its
attempt to refund a deposit.
d. Retention During Dispute. The Company may retain the deposit pending the
resolution of a dispute over termination of service. If the deposit is later returned to the
Customer, the Company shall pay interest at the annual rates established in IDAPA 31.21.01
Rule 106 for the entire period over which the deposit was held.

SCHEDULE 24
AGRICULTURAL IRRIGATION
SERVICE
Service under this schedule is available at points on the Company's interconnected system
within the State of Idaho for loads up to 25,000 kW where existing facilities of adequate capacity and
desired phase and voltage are adjacent to the Premises to be served, and additional investment by the
Company for new transmission, substation or terminal facilities is not necessary to supply the desired
service. If the aggregate power requirement of a Customer who receives service at one or more Points
of Delivery on the same Premises exceeds 25,000 kW, special contract arrangements will be required.
APPLICABILITY
Service under this schedule is applicable to power and energy supplied to agricultural use
customers operating water pumping or water delivery systems used to irrigate agricultural crops or
pasturage at one Point of Delivery and through one meter. Water pumping or water delivery systems
include, but are not limited to, irrigation pumps, pivots, fertilizer pumps, drainage pumps, linears, and
wheel lines.
Customers currently receiving service under this schedule who do not meet the eligibility criteria
for service under this schedule may continue to receive service under this schedule through October
31, 2004. On November 1, 2004 all customers for whom this schedule is not applicable will be
transferred to the appropriate general service schedule.
TYPE OF SERVICE
The type of service provided under this schedule is single and/or three-phase, alternating
current, at approximately 60 cycles and at the standard voltage available at the Premises to be served.
SERVICE CONNECTION AND DISCONNECTION
The Company will routinely keep service connected throughout the calendar year unless the
Customer requests service be disconnected. Customer requested service disconnections will be made
at no charge during the Company's normal business hours. The Company's termination practices as
specified under Rule F will continue to apply with the exception that service terminations will not be
made during the Irrigation Season.
Service Reconnection Charge. A Service Reconnection Charge as specified in Schedule 66 will
be assessed when service is reconnected.

AGRICULTURAL IRRIGATION
SERVICE
(Continued)
The Irrigation Season will begin with the Customer's meter reading for the May Billing Period
and end with the Customer's meter reading for the September Billing Period. The beginning cycles of a
Billing Period may actually be based on meter readings taken not more than 7 days prior to the start of
the corresponding calendar month.
BILLING DEMAND
The Billing Demand is the average kW supplied during the 15-consecutive-minute period of
maximum use during the Billing Period, adjusted for Power Factor; PROVIDED That at the Company's
option the Billing Demand of a single motor installation of 5 horsepower and less may be equal to the
number of horsepower but not less than one kW. Metered power demands in kW which exceed 130
percent of the connected horsepower served through one Point of Delivery will not be used for billing
purposes unless and until verified by field test in the presence of the Customer to be the result of
normal pumping operations. If a demand in excess of 130 percent of the connected horsepower is the
result of abnormal conditions existing on the Company's interconnected system or the Customer's
system, including accidental equipment failure or electrical supply interruption which results in the
temporary separation of the Company's and the Customer's system, the Billing Demand shall be 130
percent of the connected horsepower. The Customer may appeal the Company's billing decision to the
Idaho Public Utilities Commission in cases of dispute.
FACILITIES BEYOND THE POINT OF DELIVERY
At the option of the Company, transformers and other facilities installed beyond the Point of
Delivery to provide Transmission Service may be owned, operated, and maintained by the Company in
consideration of the Customer paying a Facilities Charge to the Company.
Company-owned Facilities Beyond the Point of Delivery will be set forth in a Distribution
Facilities Investment Report provided to the Customer. As the Company's investment in Facilities
Beyond the Point of Delivery changes in order to provide the Customer's service requirements, the
Company shall notify the Customer of the additions and/or deletions of facilities by forwarding to the
Customer a revised Distribution Facilities Investment Report.
In the event the Customer requests the Company to remove or reinstall or change Company­
owned Facilities Beyond the Point of Delivery, the Customer shall pay to the Company the "non­
salvable cost" of such removal, reinstallation or change. Non-salvable cost as used herein is
comprised of the total original costs of materials, labor and overheads of the facilities, less the
difference between the salvable cost of material removed and removal labor cost including appropriate
overhead costs.

temporary service, or to the Customer's loads on Premises which have metered service.
SPECIAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The Customer shall pay for all Company investment, except the overhead service drop, required
to provide service requested by the Customer. The Customer is responsible for installing, owning and
maintaining all equipment, including necessary underground circuitry and related facilities to connect
with the Company's facilities at the Company designated Point of Delivery. If the Customer's
equipment is not properly maintained, service to the specific equipment will be terminated.
Energy used by CATV power supplies which serve line amplifiers will be determined by the
power supply manufacturer's nameplate input rating assuming continuous operation.
The Customer is responsible for notifying the Company of any changes or additions to the
equipment or loads being served under this schedule. Failure to notify the Company of such changes
or additions will result in the termination of service under this schedule and the requirement that service
be provided under one of the Company's metered service schedules.
If the Customer modifies existing equipment being served under this schedule in a way that
allows for the potential or actual variation in energy usage or installs additional equipment that allows
for the potential or actual variation in energy usage, service under this schedule will be terminated and
the Customer will be required to receive service under one of the Company's metered service

POWER COST ADJUSTMENT
This schedule is applicable to the electric energy delivered to all Idaho retail Customers served
under the Company's schedules, to the primary portion of the FMC Special Contract, and to all other
Idaho retail Special Contracts. These loads are referred to as "firm" load for purposes of this schedule.
BASE POWER COST
The Base Power Cost of the Company's rates is computed by dividing the Company's power
cost components by firm kWh load. The power cost components are the sum of fuel expense and
purchased power expense (including purchases from cogeneration and small power producers), less
the sum of off-system surplus sales revenue and FMC secondary load revenue. The Base Power Cost
is 0.5238 cents per kWh.
PROJECTED POWER COST
The Projected Power Cost is the Company estimate, expressed in cents per kWh, of the power
cost components for the forecasted time period beginning April 1 each year and ending the following
March 31. The Projected Power Cost is 0.7971 cents per kWh.
TRUE-UP
The True-up is based upon the difference between the previous Projected Power Cost and the
power costs actually incurred. The True-up is 0.3579 cents per kWh.
POWER COST ADJUSTMENT
The Power Cost Adjustment is 90 percent of the difference between the Projected Power Cost
and the Base Power Cost plus the True-up.
The monthly Power Cost Adjustment applied to the Energy rate for Irrigation Service (Schedules
24 and 25) is 1.3159 cents per kWh, for Small General Service (Schedule 7) is 0.8477 cents per kWh
and Large Power Service (Schedule 19) is 0.8217 cents per kWh. The monthly Power Cost Adjustment
applied to the Energy rate of all other metered schedules and Special Contracts is 0.6039 cents per
kWh. The monthly Power Cost Adjustment applied to the per unit charges of the nonmetered
schedules is the monthly estimated usage times 0.6039 cents per kWh.
EXPIRATION
The Power Cost Adjustment included on this schedule will expire May 31, 2004.

SCHEDULE 98
RESIDENTIAL AND SMALL FARM
ENERGY CREDIT
This schedule is applicable to the qualifying electric energy delivered to residential Customers
taking service under Schedule 1 and to agricultural Customers operating a water pumping or water
delivery system used to irrigate agricultural crops or livestock pasturage under Schedule 24 or
Schedule 25.
The Residential and Small Farm Energy Credit ("Credit") is the result of the Settlement
Agreement between the Company and BPA dated October 31, 2000. The Settlement Agreement
provides for the determination of benefits during the period October 1, 2001 through September 30,
2006. The Credit under this schedule is effective October 26, 2001. This schedule shall expire when
the benefits derived from the Settlement Agreement for the period October 1, 2001 through September
30, 2006 have been credited to customers as provided for under this schedule, but no later than
December 31, 2006.
QUALIFYING ELECTRIC ENERGY
All kWh of energy delivered during the Billing Period to residential Customers taking service
under Schedule 1 qualifies for the Credit under this schedule. The kWh of energy delivered during the
Billing Period to applicable agricultural Customers taking service under Schedule 24 or Schedule 25
which qualifies for the Credit under this schedule is limited to either the agricultural Customer's actual
metered energy or 222,000 kWh, whichever is less. Agricultural Customers will be identified by tax
identification number or Social Security Number for purposes of determining qualifying electric energy
under this schedule.
CREDIT ADJUSTMENT
An energy credit factor for residential Customers will be computed for each Billing Period and
will be determined by dividing the monthly benefit derived from the Settlement Agreement by the
projected kWh of energy consumption by residential Customers for the Billing Period. An energy Credit
equal to the credit adjustment factor times the qualifying kWh of electric energy will be included on each
residential Customer billing.
An energy credit factor for applicable agricultural Customers will be computed on an annual
basis by dividing the annual benefit derived from the Settlement Agreement by the qualifying kWh of
electric energy billed to applicable agricultural Customers for the December through November Billing
Periods. An energy Credit equal to the credit adjustment factor times the qualifying kWh of electric
energy billed to each applicable agricultural Customer during the December through November Billing
Periods will be issued to each applicable agricultural Customer in December of each year.
