2. Micron recognizes that this Petition to Intervene is being filed well after the
November 30,2018 deadline established to intervene in this proceeding. Concurrent with this
Petition to Intervene, Micron is filing a timely Petition to Intervene in Case No. IPC-E-19-15.
Micron understands that the Commission is considering consolidating this proceeding with Case
No. IPC-E-19-15 to determine the single issue of the value of net excess energy for all on-site
generation classes (Schedules 6, 8, 84). Micron therefore seeks late intervention in this proceeding
to ensure that its interests are represented in this proceeding, Case No. IPC-E-19-15, or a combined
proceeding, depending on how the Commission determines it will proceed with the related cases.
The potential for this proceeding to be combined with the recently-initiated Case No. IPC-E-19-
l5 has just arisen. Therefore, Micron's delay for seeking intervention in this proceeding is
reasonable. Micron will abide by orders and notices entered earlier is this proceeding in
accordance with IDAPA 31.01.01.73. Micron's intervention will not result in disruption in this
proceeding, prejudice to existing parties, or undue broadening of the issues presented in this
proceeding.

3. Micron receives electric utility services from Idaho Power ("ldaho Power") as a
Special Contract customer. Micron is Idaho Power's single largest customer. In this proceeding
and Proceeding No. IPC-E-19-15, Idaho Power seeks to set a just, reasonable, and sustainable
value of net excess energy for all on-site generation classes under Schedules 6, 8, and 84. Micron
also seeks to ensure that compensation paid to customers with on-site generation does not result in
inappropriate cost shifts to customers without on-site generation. As a large customer, Micron is
particularly susceptible to the impact of potential cost shifts to customers without on-site
generation. Therefore, Micron has a direct and substantial interest in this proceeding.
4. Micron intends to participate herein as a party, and if necessary, to introduce
evidence, cross-examine witnesses, call and examine witnesses, and be heard in argument. The
nature and quality of evidence which Micron will introduce is dependent upon the nature and effect
of other evidence in this proceeding.
5. Without the opportunity to intervene herein, Micron would be without adequate
means of participation in this proceeding that may have a material impact on its electric rates and
terms and conditions of service.

Respectfully submitted May 2, 2019.
