SCHEDULE 62
GREEN ENERGY PURCHASE
PROGRAM RIDER
(OPTIONAL)

PURPOSE

The Green Energy Purchase Program (the Program) is an optional, voluntary program designed
to provide Customers and non-customer participants an opportunity to participate in the purchase of
new environmentally friendly “green” energy.

APPLICABILITY

Service under this schedule is applicable to all Customers and non-customer participants who
choose to participate in the Program.

RENEWABLE ENERGY

For the purpose of this schedule, renewable energy will be in the form of Renewable Energy
Certificates (REC) from new renewable projects as defined by the Center for Resource Solutions
Green-e Energy standard. Renewable energy will be sourced from projects located in the Western
Electricity Coordinating Council’s geographic area of authority with preference given to projects located
in Idaho Power’s service area and the northwest. Renewable energy types will be primarily wind but
may include other certified types such as solar, geothermal, low-impact hydroelectric, landfill gas, and
biomass.

PURCHASE

Customer participants will designate one of two billing options upon enrollment. Non-customer
participants may participate under Option 1.

Option 1: Block

Block Size: One Block equals 100 kWh of renewable energy

Charge Per Block: $1.00 per month

Option 2: Total Usage

Customers may purchase renewable energy equal to their monthly usage each month at
a price premium of 1.0 cent per billed kWh.

MONTHLY BILL

For a Customer who chooses Option 1, the monthly bill shall be the number of blocks the
Customer has agreed to purchase multiplied by the Charge Per Block. For a Customer who chooses
Option 2, the monthly bill shall be the Customer’s usage, times the price premium per kWh. The
monthly bill is in addition to all other charges contained in the Customer’s applicable tariff schedule. A
non-customer participant who chooses Option 1, will be issued a monthly invoice that reflects their
designated fixed dollar per month amount.

monitoring, renewable energy curriculum, and teacher training.
