ldaho Power Company (ldaho Power or Company) submits this Reply to the ldaho
Conservation League (lCL) and Sierra Club's Response (Response) to the Joint Motion
to Suspend Procedural Schedule (Joint Motion) filed by ldaho Power and the ldaho Public
Utilities Commission Staff (Movants), both of which were filed on October 1,2021.
The Movants seek a suspension of the procedural schedule to allow Movants the
opportunity to assess this case in light of new developments that may impact operation
of the Jim Bridger power plant. ln their Response to the Joint Motion, lCL and Sierra Club
do not oppose a short delay in the Bridger proceedings, but express conoerns over a non-
specified delay that lacks certainty, and propose a number of recommendations to
address these concerns. To clariff, ldaho Power views the Joint Motion as a request for
a short delay, and agrees with ICL and Sierra Club that sufficient information will be known
IDAHO POWER'S REPLY TO JOINT MOTION RESPONSE.l
by year-end with regard to the two items detailed in the Joint Motion - the \Afioming State
lmplementation Plan and the 202l lntegrated Resource Plan. Because ldaho Powerdoes
not expect a need for the requested suspension to extend beyond calendar year 2021,
the Response's recommended actions are unnecessary. The Company commits to filing
an update or request to set the proceduralschedule once more information is known, but
in no event later than December 31,2021.
DATED at Boise, ldaho, this 7m day of October 2021.
