Gale, Vice President, Regulatory Affairs Effective - January 25, 2007 1221 West Idaho Street, Boise, Idaho SCHEDULE 84 CUSTOMER ENERGY PRODUCTION NET METERING AVAILABILITY Service under this schedule is available throughout the Company’s service territory within the State of Idaho for Customers intending to operate as Sellers under this schedule to generate electricity to reduce all or part of their monthly energy usage. Service under this schedule is available on a first-come, first-served basis until the cumulative generation nameplate capacity of net metering systems equals 2.9 MW, which represents one-tenth of one percent of the Company’s retail peak demand during 2000. No single Seller may connect more than 20 percent of the cumulative generation nameplate capacity connected under this schedule. APPLICABILITY Service under this schedule is applicable to any Seller that: 1. Owns and/or operates a Generation Facility fueled by solar, wind, biomass, or hydropower, or represents fuel cell technology; and 2. Maintains its retail electric service account for the loads served at the Point of Delivery adjacent to the Generation Interconnection Point as active and in good standing; and 3. Meets all applicable requirements of the Company’s Schedule 72 and Generation Interconnection Process; and 4. Takes retail electric service under: a. Schedule 1 or Schedule 7; and Owns and/or operates a Generation Facility with a total nameplate capacity rating of 25 kW or smaller that is interconnected to the Seller’s individual electric system on the Seller’s side of the Point of Delivery, thus all energy received and delivered by the Company is through the existing watt-hour retail meter. b. Schedules other than Schedule 1 or Schedule 7; and Owns and/or operates a Generation Facility with a total nameplate capacity rating of 100 kW or smaller that is interconnected at a Generation Interconnection Point that is adjacent to the Seller’s Point of Delivery and is metered at the same voltage through a meter that is separate from the retail load metering at the Seller’s Point of Delivery.

No. 28, Tariff No. 101 Original Sheet No. 84-2 IDAHO Issued by IDAHO POWER COMPANY Issued per IPUC Order No. 30227 John R. Gale, Vice President, Regulatory Affairs Effective - January 25, 2007 1221 West Idaho Street, Boise, Idaho SCHEDULE 84 CUSTOMER ENERGY PRODUCTION NET METERING (Continued) APPLICABILITY (Continued) One-Meter Option: A separate meter from the existing retail load metering at the Seller’s Point of Delivery is not required if: 1. The Generation Facility has a total nameplate capacity rating of 25 kW or smaller; and 2. The Generation Facility has a total nameplate capacity rating no more than 2% of the Seller’s Basic Load Capacity (BLC) or comparable average maximum monthly Billing Demands. A Seller who uses the One-Meter Option will not receive financial credit for any Excess Net Energy during the Billing Period. DEFINITIONS Avoided Energy Cost is the monthly weighted average of the daily on-peak and off-peak Dow Jones Mid-Columbia Electricity Price Index (Dow Jones Mid-C Index) prices for non-firm energy. This rate is calculated based upon the previous calendar month’s data. If the Dow Jones Mid-C Index prices are not reported for a particular day or days, the average of the immediately preceding and following reporting periods or days will be used. Basic Load Capacity (BLC) is the average of the two greatest non-zero monthly Billing Demands established during the 12-month period which includes and ends with the current Billing Period. Excess Net Energy means the positive difference between the kWh generated by a Seller and the kWh supplied by the Company over the applicable Billing Period. Generation Facility means all equipment used to generate electric energy where the resulting energy is either delivered to the Company via a single meter at the Point of Delivery or Generation Interconnection Point, or is consumed by the Seller. Generation Interconnection Process is the Company’s generation interconnection application and engineering review process developed to ensure a safe and reliable generation interconnection. Interconnection Facilities are all facilities reasonably required by Prudent Electrical Practices and the applicable electric and safety codes to interconnect and safely deliver energy from the Generation Facility to the Point of Delivery or Generation Interconnection Point.
