On July 27, 2021, the Commission set an August 17, 2021 intervention deadline for

Idahome Solar LLC, filed a petition to intervene. These petitions were filed after the intervention
deadline ran. The issue before the Commission is whether to grant these late petitions.
RULES GOVERNING LATE PETITIONS TO INTERVENE

state a substantial reason for delay.” IDAPA 31.01.01.073. “The Commission may deny or
conditionally grant petitions to intervene that are not timely filed for failure to state good cause for
untimely filing to prevent disruption, prejudice to existing parties, or undue broadening of the
issues, or for other reasons.” Id. Also, “Intervenors who do not file timely petitions are bound by
orders and notices earlier entered as a condition of granting the untimely petition.” Id.
PETITIONS
None of the late petitions for intervention referenced above addressed or stated any
reason for their late filings.
