PUC to hold telephonic public hearing
regarding Idaho Power proposal
BOISE (Aug. 28, 2018) – The Idaho Public Utilities Commission has scheduled a telephonic
public hearing on Aug. 30 regarding an Idaho Power proposal to sell certain assets to Jayco,
Inc.
The assets consist of a transformer, underground cable and other equipment required to
serve Jayco’s manufacturing facility in Twin Falls.
These assets were installed solely for the benefit of providing electric service to Jayco. They
are located beyond the point of delivery but are owned, operated and maintained by Idaho
Power in exchange for a monthly charge.
Idaho Power’s tariff prohibits mixed ownership of facilities beyond the point of delivery. As
a result, in planning for an expansion of its manufacturing facility requiring additional
electrical facilities, Jayco could either allow Idaho Power to install, own and operate
additional electric equipment needed to serve the expansion at an additional monthly
charge, or purchase the existing Idaho Power assets and the additional equipment needed.
Jayco chose the latter option, with the understanding that it will operate and maintain the
assets upon completion of the sale.
The purchase price is $44,582.
The telephonic public hearing will start at 10 am on Aug. 30.
To testify or listen to the proceeding, please call (800) 920-7487 and enter the passcode
6674 832# when prompted.
There will be no formal presentation during the hearing; instead, its purpose is to take
testimony from customers and other interested members of the public.
Anyone interested in testifying is encouraged to call in between 9:45 am and the 10 am
start of the hearing.
Written comments can be submitted in lieu of oral testimony here or by going to the
Commission’s web site, www.puc.idaho.gov and clicking on “Case Comment Form” under
the “Consumers” or “Electric” heading. Comments can also be mailed to PO Box 83720,
