IHO PIVERn en macone Company To Our Valued Customers: On March 14,Idaho Power filed its annual Fixed Cost Adjustment (FCA)with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (IPUC).This year’s FCA filing represents an increase of $6.0 million for Residential and Small General ServieCUtomers.The proposed FCA would result in an FCA rte of 0.2913 cents pr kilowatt-hour (kWh)for ResidentTTEfdmers and 0.3709 cents per kWh for Small General Service customers. The FCA annually adjusts the electric rates for Residential and Small General Service customers based on changes in energy use during the previous year.The ECA is intended to provide for the recovery of the IPUC-authorized level of fixed costs. If,because of reduced energy use per-customer during the prior year,Idaho Power collects less than the authorized fixed-cost amount,we collect the difference through a surcharge.Ifwecollectmorethantheauthorizedamount,we refund the difference to customers through a credit.In the past seven years, both scenarios have occurred.In 2013,Idaho Power recovered less than the authorized fixed cost amount. The company has a very positive perception of demand-side management programs and believes that actively pursuing energy efficiency and education programs is a beneficial priority. The FCA mechanism allows the company to pursue those programs without experiencing negative financial impacts and allows for a robust energy efficiency portfolio. Opportunities for Public Review Idaho Power’s filing is a proposal that is subject to public review and approval by the IPUC.Copies of the application are available to the public at the IPUC offices (472 W.Washington St.,Boise, Idaho,83702),Idaho Power offices or on the IPUC’s website, puc.idaho.gov or Idaho Power’s website,idahopower.com. Customers also may subscribe to the IPUC’s R55 feed to receive periodic updates via e-mail about the case.Written comments regarding the utility’s application may be filed with the IPUC.

IHO R Printed on recycled paper ©2014 Idaho PowerA,r OOACORP Company The FCA is a true-up mechanism that “decouples,”or separates, energy sales from revenue in order to remove the financial disincentive that exists when Idaho Power invests in demand side management resources.These financial disincentives occur when customers use less energy due to the energy efficiency activities the company invests in and promotes,thereby causing the company to recover less fixed costs through customers’ energy bills.
