Morgan KeyBanc Capital Markets MUFG US Bancorp Wells Fargo Securities Prospectus Supplement dated June 30, 2022 We take responsibility only for the information contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and any pricing supplement, including the information that we incorporate by reference, and any free writing prospectus that we prepare and distribute. We have not, and the agents have not, authorized any other person to provide you with any other information, and we and the agents take no responsibility for any other information that others may give you. The information contained in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any applicable pricing supplement is accurate only as of its respective date, regardless of the time of delivery of such document or any sale of the securities offered hereunder. We are not making an offer of these notes in any state where the offer is not permitted. TABLE OF CONTENTS Prospectus Supplement Page Description of the Notes S-1 Supplemental Plan of Distribution S-3 Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations S-5 Prospectus About this Prospectus 1 Risk Factors 2 Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements 3 About Idaho Power Company 6 Description of First Mortgage Bonds 7 Description of Debt Securities 12 Book-Entry System 18 Use of Proceeds 20 Plan of Distribution 21 Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference 22 Where You Can Find More Information 23 Legal Matters 24 Experts 24 S-i DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES General We are issuing these notes as part of a series of first mortgage bonds under our Indenture of Mortgage and Deed of Trust, dated as of October 1, 1937, as amended and supplemented. You should read the following information, which summarizes certain terms of the notes, in conjunction with the general terms and conditions of the notes and the indenture described under “Description of First Mortgage Bonds” in the accompanying prospectus. We may offer these notes in any combination in one or more offerings up to an aggregate principal amount of $1,200,000,000. For each note we offer and sell, we will prepare a pricing supplement to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The pricing supplement will include the specific terms of the note to which it relates and may include modifications of or additions to the more general terms described in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The pricing supplement relating to a note will contain the following important information: • purchase price of the notes, which may be a percentage of the aggregate principal amount • issue date • maturity date • interest rate • interest accrual date • redemption provisions, if any, and • other material terms not inconsistent with the indenture. The following information applies to the notes that we are offering, unless we specify otherwise in the pricing supplement. Except as discussed under “Book-Entry System” in the accompanying prospectus, each note will be in book-entry form and not certificated form. The initial depository for book-entry notes will be The Depository Trust Company. You may buy the notes in denominations of $1,000 or any larger amount equally divisible by $1,000. Unless we specify otherwise in a pricing supplement and make additional related disclosure, we will not offer the notes to holders that are not either United States holders (as defined under “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” below) or partnerships formed under the laws of the United States. Interest and Payment on the Notes Each note will bear interest at a fixed rate stated on the face of the note. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. We will make interest payments to noteholders on March 1 and September 1 of each year or on the interest payment dates specified in the pricing supplement, and at maturity or upon earlier redemption. If any interest payment date, redemption date or maturity date does not fall upon a business day, we will make the payment on the next business day. A business day is any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on which banks in The City of New York are not required or authorized by law to close. If we pay or provide for payment on the next business day, no interest will accrue on those amounts for the period from and after the interest payment date, redemption date or maturity date, as the case may be, to the next business day. S-1 We will make payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of the notes in immediately available funds. We will make payments on book-entry notes to Cede & Co., the partnership nominee of The Depository Trust Company. The record date for the March 1 payment will be February 15, and the record date for the September 1 payment will be August 15. If we change the interest payment dates, we will indicate in the pricing supplement the new record dates. In order to receive interest payments on a note, you must hold the note on the applicable record date, whether or not the record date is a business day. We will begin paying interest on the first interest payment date after the notes have been issued, provided that the notes are issued before the applicable record date. Redemption of the Notes The notes may be subject to redemption, either mandatory or at our option, before they mature. The pricing supplement will indicate whether or not a note is subject to redemption and the terms of redemption, if any. If we decide to redeem the notes, you will receive at least 30 days’ notice. Tax Defeasance Under current United States federal income tax law, defeasance under the indenture should be treated as a taxable exchange of the notes to be defeased for an interest in the defeasance trust. Accordingly, you would recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between your cost or other tax basis of the notes and the fair market value of your interest in the defeasance trust. In addition, you might also thereafter be required to include in income your share of the income, gain or loss of the defeasance trust, which could be a different amount and includible in income at different times than would be the case in the absence of defeasance under the indenture. You should consult your own tax advisors as to the specific potential consequences to you of defeasance under the indenture. S-2 SUPPLEMENTAL PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION We are offering the notes on a continuing basis through the agents listed on the cover, each of which has agreed to use to its reasonable best efforts to solicit purchases of the notes. We have the right to accept offers to purchase notes and may reject any offer to purchase notes. The agents may also reject any offer to purchase notes. We will pay the agents a commission on any notes sold through the agents. Unless otherwise specified in the pricing supplement, the commission will range from 0.150% to 0.875% of the principal amount of the notes depending on the maturity of the notes. We may also sell notes to the agents who will purchase the notes as principal for their own accounts. Any such sale will be made at a discount to be agreed upon at the time of sale. Any notes the agents purchase as principal may be resold at a fixed public offering price, the market price or other prices determined by the agents at the time of resale. The agents may resell any notes they purchase as principal to other brokers or dealers at a discount which may include all or part of the discount the agents received from us. Unless the applicable pricing supplement states otherwise, the agents will purchase the notes, as principal, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount less a discount that equals the applicable commission on an agency sale of notes of the same maturity. We may also sell notes directly to investors on our own behalf in those jurisdictions where we are authorized to do so. We will not pay any commissions on sales made directly by us. We may sell notes through agents other than the agents listed on the cover, subject to conditions described in the selling agency agreement that we have entered into with the agents listed on the cover. The commission applicable to agency sales through any other agents will be the same as that applicable to agency sales through the agents listed on the cover. The agents, whether acting as agent or as principal, may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We have agreed to indemnify each agent against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, or to contribute to payments made in respect of such liabilities. We have also agreed to reimburse the agents for certain of their expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of their counsel. The agents may sell to dealers who may resell to investors and the agents may pay all or part of the discount or commission they receive from us to the dealers. Such dealers may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933. Any discounts or commissions that an agent receives in purchasing a note as principal and reselling such note, and any profit on the resale of such note by the agent, may be deemed to be underwriters’ discounts or commissions under the Securities Act of 1933. Payment of the purchase price of the notes must be made in immediately available funds. The notes are a new issue of securities with no established trading market and will not be listed on a securities exchange. The agents have advised us that they intend to establish a trading market for the notes. However, the agents are not obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for the notes. In connection with the offering, the agents may purchase and sell notes in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the agents of a greater number of notes than they are required to purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the notes while the offering is in progress. S-3 The agents also may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular agent repays to agents a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the agents have repurchased notes sold by or for the account of such agent in stabilizing or short covering transactions. These activities by the agents may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the notes. As a result, the price of the notes may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by the agents at any time. Each agent and its affiliates may from time to time engage in transactions with, and perform investment banking, general banking and other financial services for, us and our affiliates in the ordinary course of business. In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the agents and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. If any of the agents or their affiliates have a lending relationship with us, certain of those agents or their affiliates routinely hedge, and certain other of those agents or their affiliates may hedge, their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, these agents and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities, including potentially the notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the notes offered hereby. The agents and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments. S-4 CERTAIN MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS The following is a summary of certain material United States federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes by United States holders (as defined below). It is included for general information only and does not address every aspect of the income or other tax laws that may be relevant to investors in the notes in light of their personal circumstances or that may be relevant to certain types of investors subject to special treatment under United States federal income tax laws (for example, financial institutions, former citizens or residents of the United States, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, persons that are broker-dealers, traders in securities who elect the mark to market method of accounting for their securities, United States holders (as defined below) that have a functional currency other than the United States dollar, controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies, corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid United States federal income tax, investors in partnerships or other pass-through entities or persons subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to the notes being taken into account in an applicable financial statement, including under Section 451(b) of the Code). In addition, this summary does not address the effect of United States federal alternative minimum tax, or any state, local or foreign tax laws that may be applicable to a particular holder and does not consider any aspects of United States federal tax law other than income taxation. This discussion is limited to initial purchasers of the notes issued pursuant to this prospectus supplement who purchase the notes for an amount of cash equal to their offering price and who hold the notes as capital assets under Section 1221 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and not as part of a straddle, hedging, integrated, conversion or constructive sale transaction, or as part of a “synthetic security” or other similar financial transaction. Persons considering the purchase, ownership or disposition of the notes should consult their tax advisors concerning the United States federal tax consequences thereof in light of their particular situations as well as any consequences arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction. Furthermore, the discussion below is based upon provisions of the Code, the legislative history thereof, existing and proposed United States Treasury regulations, administrative rulings and judicial decisions, all as of the date hereof. Such authorities may be repealed, revoked or modified (including changes in effective dates, and possibly with retroactive effect) so as to result in United States federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. We have not sought and will not seek any rulings from the United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) with respect to the matters discussed below. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a different position concerning the tax consequences of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the notes or that any such position would not be sustained. For purposes of the following discussion, a “United States holder” means a beneficial owner of the notes that is, for United States federal income tax purposes: • An individual citizen or resident of the United States; • A corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; • An estate, the income of which is subject to the United States federal income tax regardless of source; or • A trust, if (a) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over administration of the trust and one or more United States persons have authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (b) it has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a domestic trust. If a partnership or an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes owns any of the notes, the United States federal income tax treatment of a partner or an equity interest owner of such other entity will generally depend upon the status of the partner or owner and the activities of the partnership or other entity. If you are a partner of a partnership or an equity interest owner of another entity or arrangement treated as a partnership holding any of the notes, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the United States federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes. S-5 Effect of Certain Contingencies Treasury regulations provide special rules for the treatment of debt instruments that provide for contingent payments. Under these regulations, a contingency is disregarded if the contingency is remote or incidental, or, in certain circumstances, it is significantly more likely than not that such contingency will not occur. We intend to take the position that the contingencies on the notes, if any (for example, as described generally under “Description of the Notes—Redemption of the Notes”) will not cause the “contingent payment debt instrument” rules of the Treasury regulations to apply. Our determination that the notes are not contingent payment debt instruments is binding on a United States holder of notes unless such holder discloses a contrary position to the IRS in the manner required by the applicable Treasury regulations. Our determination is not, however, binding on the IRS. A successful challenge of this position by the IRS could adversely affect the timing and amount of income inclusions with respect to the notes, and could also cause any gain from the sale or other disposition of a note to be treated as ordinary income rather than as capital gain. United States holders of notes are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible application of the contingent payment debt instrument rules to the notes. The remainder of this summary assumes that the notes will not be considered to be contingent payment debt instruments. Payments of Interest If the notes are issued at a discount, any such discount is expected to be less than the statutorily defined de minimis amount of original issue discount and this summary assumes that the notes will not be issued with original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, interest on the notes generally will be taxable to a United States holder as ordinary interest income at the time it accrues or is received in accordance with the United States holder’s method of accounting for United States federal income tax purposes. The following discussion assumes the notes will be issued without, or with less than, the statutorily defined de minimis amount of original issue discount. Sale, Exchange, Redemption or Other Taxable Disposition of Notes Upon the sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition of a note, a United States holder generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between (1) the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received on such disposition (less an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid stated interest, which will be taxable as interest income, as discussed above) and (2) such holder’s adjusted tax basis in such note. A United States holder’s adjusted tax basis in a note generally will equal the amount paid for the note less any principal repayments previously received by such holder. Gain or loss recognized by a United States holder in respect of the disposition generally will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the United States holder has held the note for more than one year at the time of such disposition. Long-term capital gains of certain noncorporate United States holders are entitled to reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Additional Tax on Net Investment Income United States holders that are not corporations generally will be subject to a 3.8% tax (the “Medicare tax”) on the lesser of (1) the United States holder’s “net investment income” for the taxable year and (2) the excess of the United States holder’s modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year over a certain threshold amount. A United States holder’s net investment income generally will include any income or gain recognized by such holder with respect to the notes, unless such income or gain is derived in the ordinary course of the conduct of such holder’s trade or business (other than a trade or business that consists of certain passive or trading activities). A United States holder that is not a corporation should consult its tax advisor regarding the applicability of the Medicare tax to its income and gains in respect of its investment in the notes. S-6 Information Reporting and Backup Withholding Payments of interest made by us on, or the proceeds of the sale or other disposition of, the notes may be subject to United States information reporting and may also be subject to United States federal backup withholding if the recipient of the payment fails to supply an accurate taxpayer identification number or otherwise fails to comply with applicable United States information reporting and certification requirements. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, any amount withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowable as a refund or credit against the holder’s United States federal income tax, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS ARE ADVISED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE APPLICATION OF THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAXING JURISDICTION PRIOR TO MAKING SUCH INVESTMENT.

Actual results, performance, or outcomes may differ materially from the results discussed in the statements. In addition to any assumptions and other factors and matters referred to specifically in connection with such forward-looking statements, factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements include those factors discussed in our filings with the SEC, including the Form 10-K, the Forms 10-Q and the Forms 8-K incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and we refer you to those reports for further information, as well as the following important factors: • the effect of decisions by the Idaho and Oregon public utilities commissions and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission that impact Idaho Power’s ability to recover costs and earn a return on investment; • changes to or the elimination of Idaho Power’s regulatory cost recovery mechanisms; • the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 and its variants, and government mandates related to COVID-19 vaccines, masking, and testing, on the global and regional economy and on Idaho Power’s employees, customers, contractors, and suppliers, including on loads and revenues, uncollectible accounts, transmission revenues, supply chain availability, attrition of skilled workers, and other aspects of the economy and the companies’ business; • changes in residential, commercial, and industrial growth and demographic patterns within Idaho Power’s service area, and their associated impacts on loads and load growth, and the availability of regulatory mechanisms that allow for timely cost recovery through customer rates in the event of those changes; • abnormal or severe weather conditions (including conditions and events associated with climate change), wildfires, droughts, earthquakes, and other natural phenomena and natural disasters, which affect customer sales, hydropower generation levels, repair costs, service interruptions, liability for damage caused by utility property, and the availability and cost of fuel for generation plants or purchased power to serve customers; • advancement of self-generation, energy storage, energy efficiency, alternative energy sources, and other technologies that may reduce Idaho Power’s sale or delivery of electric power or introduction of operational or cyber-security vulnerabilities to the power grid; • acts or threats of terrorist incidents, acts of war, social unrest, cyber or physical security attacks, and other malicious acts of individuals or groups seeking to disrupt Idaho Power’s operations or the electric power grid or compromise data, or the disruption or damage to the companies’ business, operations, or reputation resulting from such events; • the expense and risks associated with capital expenditures for, and the permitting and construction of, utility infrastructure that Idaho Power may be unable to complete or may not be deemed prudent by regulators for cost recovery or a return on investment; 3 • demand for power during peak periods could exceed supply, resulting in increased costs for purchasing capacity in the market or acquiring or constructing additional generation resources and battery storage facilities; • variable hydrological conditions and over-appropriation of surface and groundwater in the Snake River Basin, which may impact the amount of power generated by Idaho Power’s hydropower facilities; • the ability of Idaho Power to acquire fuel, power, electrical equipment, and transmission capacity on reasonable terms and prices, particularly in the event of unanticipated or abnormally high power demands, price volatility, lack of physical availability, transportation constraints, outages due to maintenance or repairs to generation or transmission facilities, disruptions or delays in the supply chain, or a lack of credit; • disruptions or outages of Idaho Power’s generation or transmission systems or of any interconnected transmission systems, which can result in liability for Idaho Power, increase power supply costs and repair expenses, and reduce revenues; • accidents, terrorist acts, electrical contacts, fires (either affecting or caused by Idaho Power facilities or infrastructure), explosions, general system damage or dysfunction, intentional acts of destruction, uncontrolled release of water from hydropower dams, and other unplanned events that may occur while operating and maintaining assets, which can cause unplanned outages; reduce generating output, damage company assets, operations, or reputation; subject Idaho Power to third-party claims for property damage, personal injury, or loss of life; or result in the imposition of fines and penalties for which Idaho Power may have inadequate insurance coverage; • the increased purchased power costs and operational challenges associated with purchasing and integrating intermittent renewable energy sources into Idaho Power’s resource portfolio; • Idaho Power’s concentration in one industry and one region and the lack of diversification, and the resulting exposure to regional economic conditions and regional legislation and regulation; • employee workforce factors, including the operational and financial costs of unionization or the attempt to unionize all or part of the companies’ workforce, the impact of an aging workforce and retirements, the cost and ability to attract and retain skilled workers and third- party vendors, the cost of living and the related impact on recruiting employees, and the ability to adjust the labor cost structure when necessary; • failure to comply with state and federal laws, regulations, and orders, including interpretations and enforcement initiatives by regulatory and oversight bodies, which may result in penalties and fines and increase the cost of compliance and remediation; • changes in tax laws or related regulations or interpretations of applicable laws by federal, state, or local taxing jurisdictions, and the availability of tax credits, and the tax rates payable by IDACORP shareholders on common stock dividends; • adoption of, changes in, and costs of compliance with, laws, regulations, and policies relating to the environment, climate change, natural resources, and threatened and endangered species, and the ability to recover associated increased costs through rates; • the inability to timely obtain and the cost of obtaining and complying with required governmental permits and approvals, licenses, rights-of-way, and siting for transmission and generation projects and hydropower facilities;

We will issue the first mortgage bonds offered in this prospectus under our Indenture of Mortgage and Deed of Trust, dated as of October 1, 1937. Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, formerly known as Bankers Trust Company, is the trustee. We have amended and supplemented the indenture in the past and will supplement it again by one or more supplemental indentures relating to these first mortgage bonds. This section briefly summarizes the material provisions of the indenture and supplemental indentures, which we refer to collectively as the indenture in this section, and uses some terms that are not defined in this prospectus but are defined in the indenture. This summary is not complete and we qualify it by reference to the indenture. The indenture is on file with the SEC, and we incorporate it by reference in this prospectus. You should read the indenture for a complete understanding of its provisions and for the definitions of some terms used in this summary. In the summary below, we include references to section numbers of the indenture so that you can easily locate those provisions. Our issuance of long-term indebtedness, including first mortgage bonds, is subject to the approval of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (“IPUC”), the Public Utility Commission of Oregon (“OPUC”), and the Wyoming Public Service Commission (“WPSC”). In March 2019, we filed applications with the IPUC, OPUC, and WPSC to renew our debt financing authority. In April 2019, Idaho Power received orders from the IPUC, OPUC, and WPSC authorizing the issuance and sale from time to time of up to $500 million in aggregate principal amount of debt securities and first mortgage bonds, subject to conditions specified in the orders. Authority from the IPUC is through May 31, 2022, subject to extension upon request to the IPUC. The OPUC’s and WPSC’s orders do not impose a time limitation for issuances, but the OPUC order does impose a number of other conditions, including a maximum interest rate limit of 7.0 percent. In April 2022, we filed applications with the IPUC, OPUC, and WPSC to renew our debt financing authority, requesting authorization of the issuance and sale from time to time of up to $1.2 billion in aggregate principal amount of debt securities and first mortgage bonds, subject to conditions specified in the orders. As of the date of this prospectus, these applications remain pending. Issuance in Series. We issue bonds in series. Each series of bonds may have different terms. We will include all of the following information about a specific series of bonds in the prospectus supplement relating to those bonds: • the designation and series of the bonds, • the aggregate principal amount of the bonds, • the offering price of the bonds, • the date or dates on which the bonds will mature, • the interest rate or rates for the bonds, or how we will determine the interest rate or rates, • the dates on which we will pay the interest on the bonds, • the denominations in which we may issue the bonds, • the terms pursuant to which we may redeem the bonds, if any, • whether we will issue all or a portion of the bonds in global form, and • any other terms or provisions relating to the bonds that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the indenture. 7 Form and Exchange. Unless we state otherwise in the prospectus supplement: • we will issue the bonds in fully registered form without coupons, • a holder of bonds may exchange bonds, without charge, for an equal aggregate principal amount of bonds of the same series, having the same issue date and with identical terms and provisions, and • a holder of bonds may transfer bonds, without charge, other than applicable stamp taxes or other governmental charges. See “Book-Entry System” for a description of additional requirements as to the form and method of exchange of bonds. We will describe any additional requirements as to the form and method of exchange of bonds in the prospectus supplement. Interest and Payment. We will pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in U.S. dollars at Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas in New York City, and, at our option, at our office in Boise, Idaho. Indenture, Section 35 Maintenance Requirements. We will file a certificate with the corporate trustee within 90 days after the close of each calendar year stating that: • we have made the necessary expenditures to maintain our property in good condition as an operating system, or • we will designate an additional amount that should be spent for this purpose. If we designate an additional amount, we must deliver to the corporate trustee, within 30 days, cash equal to that amount less the following deductions: • expenditures made after the close of the year to maintain the property, and • any allowances for waiver of our right to issue additional bonds under the indenture. Indenture, Section 38 We may withdraw this cash for reimbursement for later expenditures on: • property maintenance, repairs, renewals and replacements, • waiver of our right to issue additional bonds under the indenture, or • the purchase or redemption of bonds of any series, unless a supplemental indenture provides otherwise for a particular series of bonds. We must spend or appropriate 15% of our annual gross operating revenues for maintenance, retirement or amortization of our properties. We may, however, anticipate or make up these expenditures or appropriations within the five years that immediately follow or precede a particular year. Indenture, Section 38; Second Supplemental, Section 15 Improvement or Sinking Fund. There is no sinking or improvement fund requirement. Twenty-seventh Supplemental, Section 14 Security. The indenture secures all bonds issued under the indenture equally and ratably, without preference, priority or distinction. We may issue additional first mortgage bonds in the future, and those first mortgage bonds will also be secured by the indenture. The lien of the indenture constitutes a first mortgage on all the properties that we own, except as discussed below, subject only to liens for taxes and assessments that are not delinquent and minor excepted encumbrances. Certain of our properties are subject to easements, leases, contracts, covenants, workmen’s compensation awards and similar encumbrances and minor defects and clouds common to properties, which do not interfere in any material respect with our operations. 8 The indenture does not create a lien on the following excepted property: • revenues or profits, or notes or accounts receivable, contracts or choses in action, except as permitted by law during a completed default, • securities or cash, except when pledged, or • merchandise or equipment manufactured or acquired for resale. The indenture creates a lien on our interest in property that we subsequently acquire other than excepted property, subject to limitations in the case of consolidation, merger or sale of substantially all our assets. Indenture, Section 87 We have covenanted to execute and deliver instruments that are necessary to carry out the purposes of the indenture and to create a lien on after-acquired property that the indenture covers. Granting Clauses The indenture does not contain any covenants or other provisions to provide holders of the first mortgage bonds special protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction. Issuance of Additional Bonds. The indenture limits the aggregate principal amount of bonds at any one time outstanding to $2.5 billion. We may amend the indenture and increase this amount without consent of the holders of first mortgage bonds. Indenture, Sections 22 and 121; Forty-eighth Supplemental, Article I The indenture contains some restrictions on increasing the amount of prior lien bonds, which are bonds, obligations or principal indebtedness secured by any mortgage or other lien upon any property additions prior to the lien of the indenture. Indenture, Sections 6 and 46 We may issue additional bonds that rank equally with the bonds in principal amount equal to: • 60% of the cost or fair value, whichever is less, of property additions made after December 31, 1943, less the amount of prior lien bonds thereon, Indenture, Article V, Second Supplemental, Sections 10 and 13 • the principal amount of first mortgage bonds or prior lien bonds referred to above, retired or then to be retired, Indenture, Articles V and VI or • the amount of cash that we deposit with the corporate trustee for the purpose, which we may withdraw on the same basis as bonds may be issued. Indenture, Article VII We may not issue bonds as provided above, with certain exceptions, unless we meet a net earnings requirement. Generally, the indenture requires that our net earnings must be at least twice the annual interest requirements on all outstanding debt of equal or prior rank, including the bonds that we propose to issue. Under certain circumstances, the net earnings test does not apply, including the issuance of refunding bonds to retire outstanding bonds which mature in less than two years or which are of an equal or higher interest rate, or prior lien bonds. We calculate net earnings before deduction of: • property retirement expenses, depreciation or depletion, • interest expense on indebtedness, • amortization of debt discount and expense, and • any taxes measured by or dependent on net income. 9 We may include only a limited amount of revenue from property not subject to the lien of the indenture in net earnings. Indenture, Sections 7, 27 and Article VI Property additions consist of electric or gas property, or property used in connection therewith. Property additions exclude securities, contracts or choses in action, merchandise and equipment for consumption or resale, materials and supplies, property used principally for production or gathering of natural gas, or any power sites and uncompleted works under Idaho state permits. In determining net property additions, we deduct all retired funded property from gross property additions except to the extent of certain credits with respect to released funded property. Indenture, Section 4 The indenture restricts issuance of bonds and taking other credits under the indenture based on property additions subject to prior liens to no more than 15% of all bonds outstanding. However, the prior liens must not exceed 50% of the cost or fair value, whichever is less, of these property additions. Indenture, Section 26 As of March 31, 2022, we could issue under the indenture approximately $2.1 billion of additional first mortgage bonds based on unfunded property additions and retired first mortgage bonds. Release of Properties. Generally, we may release property from the lien of the indenture by doing the following: • depositing cash with the corporate trustee, • substituting property additions, or • waiving our right to issue additional bonds on the basis of retired bond credits, without application of the net earnings test. Indenture, Section 59 Actions Without Trustee’s Release or Consent. Unless we are in default in the payment of interest on any outstanding bonds or one or more of the completed defaults described under the caption “Events of Default” below have occurred and are continuing, we may, without the trustee’s release or consent, and without providing a report to the trustee or depositing with it the consideration we receive: • sell or otherwise dispose of any machinery, equipment, tools, implements or other property, which has become old, inadequate, obsolete, worn out, unfit or unadapted for use in our operations, after we replace that property with other property which has at least equal value and is subject to no additional liens, • cancel or make changes or alterations in or substitutions of any contracts, leases or rights of way grants, or • surrender or assent to the modification of any right, power, franchise, license, governmental consent or permit under which we may be operating, if, in the opinion of our board of directors, stated in a resolution filed with the corporate trustee, the surrender or modification is desirable in the conduct of our business and does not impair the security of outstanding bonds. Indenture, Section 58 Amendment of the Indenture. Generally we may modify or amend the indenture with the consent of the holders of 60% in principal amount of all outstanding first mortgage bonds. However, when an amendment does not affect all series of first mortgage bonds, holders of 60% of the principal amount of all outstanding first mortgage bonds of each series affected must also consent to the amendment. Unless each bondholder consents, we cannot make the following modifications: • impair the right of any bondholder to receive payment on its bond when due or to sue for any overdue payment, 10 • create any lien equal or prior to the lien of the indenture, • deprive any bondholder of a lien upon the mortgaged and pledged property, or • reduce the bondholder vote necessary to amend the indenture. Indenture, Sections 113, 121; Twenty-third Supplemental, Section 9; Thirty-sixth Supplemental, Section 9 Events of Default. The following are defaults, sometimes called completed defaults, under the indenture: • failure to pay the principal of any bond when due and payable whether at maturity or otherwise, • failure to pay interest on any bond for 60 days, • failure to pay principal of or interest on any outstanding prior lien bond beyond the grace period, if any, in the prior lien bond, • failure to observe a covenant not to, without the trustee’s written approval: • go into voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency, apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee for us or our property in any judicial proceedings or make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or • suffer to be made and remain unvacated for a period of 90 days any order for the appointment of a receiver or trustee for us or our property in any proceeding instituted by a creditor, or any final order appointing such a receiver or trustee in any other proceeding or any order adjudicating us to be bankrupt or insolvent, or • failure to perform other covenants, agreements or conditions contained in the indenture for 90 days after the trustee gives us notice. Indenture, Section 65 Discharge. The indenture will be cancelled and discharged when all indebtedness secured by the indenture is paid, including charges of the trustee. In addition, first mortgage bonds will be considered paid and not to be outstanding for any purpose under the indenture when we have irrevocably deposited with the trustee • sufficient cash, or • an amount of direct obligations of, or obligations guaranteed by, the United States government or obligations which are collateralized by obligations of the United States government which, in the opinion of an independent accountant and the opinion of our officers, will provide sufficient funds, without regard to reinvestment thereof, together with any deposited cash to pay when due the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest to the maturity date or redemption date of such first mortgage bonds, provided that in the case of redemption, proper notice shall have been given or appropriate arrangements have been made with the trustee for the giving of notice. Indenture, Section 106 and Twenty-seventh Supplemental, Section 10 Miscellaneous. The indenture provides that the trustee, upon request of the holders of a majority in interest of the outstanding first mortgage bonds, if properly indemnified to its satisfaction, must take action to enforce the lien of the indenture. Indenture, Section 92; Sixth Supplemental, Article XXIII We covenant in the indenture to deliver a certificate to the trustee annually, within 90 days after the close of the fiscal year, to show that we are in compliance with the terms of the indenture and that we have not defaulted under the indenture. Various supplemental indentures Concerning the Corporate Trustee. We and our affiliates may conduct banking transactions with the trustee in the normal course of business. 11 DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES As used under this caption, “Description of Debt Securities,” references to “we,” “us,” “our” and other similar references mean Idaho Power Company, excluding, unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, its subsidiary. We will issue the debt securities offered in this prospectus under our Debt Securities Indenture, dated as of August 1, 2001. Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas is the trustee under the indenture. We may amend and supplement the indenture and will supplement it by one or more supplemental indentures relating to these debt securities. This section briefly summarizes the material provisions of the debt securities indenture and uses some terms that are not defined in this prospectus but are defined in the indenture. This summary is not complete and we qualify it by reference to the indenture. The indenture is on file with the SEC, and we incorporate it by reference in this prospectus. You should read the indenture for a complete understanding of its provisions and for the definition of some terms used in this summary. In the summary below, we include references to section numbers of the indenture so that you can easily locate these provisions. As noted above, in April 2019, Idaho Power received orders from the IPUC, OPUC, and WPSC authorizing the issuance and sale from time to time of up to $500 million in aggregate principal amount of debt securities and first mortgage bonds, subject to conditions specified in the orders. Authority from the IPUC is through May 31, 2022, subject to extension upon request to the IPUC. The OPUC’s and WPSC’s orders do not impose a time limitation for issuances, but the OPUC order does impose a number of other conditions, including a maximum interest rate limit of 7.0 percent. In April 2022, we filed applications with the IPUC, OPUC, and WPSC to renew our debt financing authority, requesting authorization of the issuance and sale from time to time of up to $1.2 billion in aggregate principal amount of debt securities and first mortgage bonds, subject to conditions specified in the orders. As of the date of this prospectus, these applications remain pending. Other Indebtedness. The indenture does not limit the amount of debt securities that we may issue; it does not restrict the amount or type of other debt that we may issue or contain any other provisions that would afford holders of the debt securities protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction. We may use other indentures or documentation containing provisions different from those included in the indenture under which we are offering these debt securities in connection with future issues of debt securities. We may also offer our first mortgage bonds, which are secured indebtedness and which are described above under the caption “Description of First Mortgage Bonds.” As of March 31, 2022, there was approximately $2.1 billion in aggregate principal amount of our first mortgage bonds outstanding. Security, Ranking and Subordination. The debt securities that we may issue under this indenture will be unsecured. The debt securities that we are offering in this prospectus will rank equal in right of payment to our other unsecured indebtedness that is outstanding now or that we may issue in the future, except for any indebtedness that, by its terms, is subordinate to these debt securities. Issuance in Series. We will issue debt securities in series. Each series of debt securities may have different terms and, in some cases, debt securities of the same series may have different terms. The prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of debt securities will contain the following information about those debt securities: • the title of the series, • any limit on the aggregate principal amount of the series, • the date or dates on which we will issue the debt securities of that series and on which we will pay the principal amount and any premium, • the rate or rates at which the debt securities of that series will bear interest, or how we will determine the rate or rates, 12 • the date or dates from which interest will accrue, • the dates on which we will pay interest on the debt securities of that series and the regular record dates for the interest payment dates, • the place or places where we will pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if different from those we describe in this prospectus, • any redemption terms, including mandatory redemption through a sinking fund or otherwise, redemption at our option and redemption at the option of the holder, • the denominations in which we will issue the debt securities of that series, if other than denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000, • the provisions for the satisfaction and discharge of the indenture if different from those we describe in this prospectus, and • any other terms of the debt securities of the series. Form and Exchange. Unless we state otherwise in the prospectus supplement: • we will issue the debt securities in fully registered form without coupons, • a holder of debt securities may exchange debt securities, without charge, for an equal aggregate principal amount of debt securities of the same series, having the same issue date and with identical terms and provisions, and • a holder of debt securities may transfer debt securities, without charge, other than applicable stamp taxes or other governmental charges. Indenture, Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.6 Unless we state otherwise in the prospectus supplement, the transfer of debt securities may be registered and exchanged at the corporate trust office of the trustee, in New York, New York, as security registrar. We may change the place for registration of transfer and exchange. We may designate one or more additional places for registration and exchange, all at our discretion. We are not required to execute or to provide for the registration of transfer or exchange of any debt security • during a period of 15 days prior to giving any notice of redemption with respect to that debt security, or • that has been selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any debt security being redeemed in part. Indenture, Sections 3.6 and 4.2 See “Book-Entry System” for a description of additional requirements as to the form and method of exchange of debt securities. We will describe any additional requirements as to the form and method of exchange of debt securities in the prospectus supplement. Indenture, Section 3.1 Payment of Interest. Unless we state otherwise in the prospectus supplement, we will pay interest on each debt security to the person in whose name the debt security is registered as of the close of business on the regular record date for that interest payment date. If we have defaulted in the payment of interest on any debt security, we may pay the defaulted interest to the holder of the debt security as of the close of business on a special record date that is not less than 10 days prior to the date we propose to pay the defaulted interest. Notice of the special record date will be given by mail at least 15 days before the special record date. We may also pay defaulted interest in any other lawful manner permitted by requirements of any securities exchange on which the debt security may be listed, if the trustee deems that manner of payment practicable. Indenture, Section 3.8 13 Unless we state otherwise in the prospectus supplement, we will pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest at maturity at the corporate trust office of the trustee, in New York, New York, as our paying agent. We may change the place of payment. We may appoint one or more additional paying agents and may remove any paying agent, all at our discretion. Indenture, Section 4.2 Redemption. We will describe any terms for the optional or mandatory redemption of a particular series of debt securities in the prospectus supplement. Unless we state in the prospectus supplement that the debt securities of that series are redeemable at the option of a holder, debt securities will be redeemable only at our option. In order to exercise our right to redeem any debt security, we must give the holder notice by mail at least 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. If we want to redeem fewer than all the debt securities of a series, the trustee will choose the particular debt securities to be redeemed by a method of random selection, substantially pro rata, that the trustee believes is fair and appropriate and which complies with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the debt securities of that series are listed. If the debt securities to be redeemed have different terms and different maturities, we may select the particular debt securities to be redeemed. Unless we state otherwise in the prospectus supplement, if we are redeeming the debt securities at our option, the redemption will be conditional upon the paying agent or agents receiving from us, on or prior to the date fixed for redemption, enough money to redeem all of the debt securities called for redemption, including accrued interest, if any. If sufficient money has not been received, the notice will not be effective and we will not be required to redeem the debt securities. Indenture, Section 14.2 Consolidation, Merger or Sale. The indenture provides that we will not consolidate with, merge with or into any other person, whether or not we are the survivor, or sell, assign, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our properties and assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any person or group of affiliated persons, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, unless: • the successor person, if we are not the survivor, is a person organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia and expressly assumes in writing, by a supplemental indenture, all of our obligations under the outstanding debt securities and the indenture, • immediately before and after giving effect to the transaction or series of transactions, no event of default, and no default, shall have occurred and be continuing, and • we deliver to the trustee an officer’s certificate and an opinion of counsel stating that the transaction and the supplemental indenture comply with the indenture. Indenture, Article Eleven Events of Default. The following are events of default with respect to any series of debt securities: • failure to pay the principal of, or premium, if any, on, any debt security of that series when due and payable at maturity, and upon redemption, and the time for payment has not been extended or deferred, but excluding any failure by us to deposit money in connection with any redemption that is at our option, • failure to pay interest on any debt security of that series when due and our failure continues for 30 days, and the time for payment has not been extended or deferred, • failure to make a sinking fund payment when due with respect to debt securities of that series, • failure to observe or perform any other covenant, warranty or agreement contained in the debt securities of that series or in the indenture, other than a covenant, agreement or warranty included in the indenture that is specifically dealt with in another event of default, and our failure continues for 60 days after the trustee or holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have given us written notice, 14 • a court enters a decree or order for relief that remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days in respect of us in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law: • appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official for us or for any substantial part of our property, or • ordering the winding up or liquidation of our affairs, • we commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, • we consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, • we consent to the appointment or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official for us or for any substantial part of our property, • we make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, and • any other event of default with respect to debt securities of that series specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. Indenture, Section 6.1 An event of default with respect to the debt securities of any series does not necessarily constitute an event of default with respect to any other series of debt securities issued under the indenture. Unless we cure the default, the trustee is required to give notice of any default known to it within 90 days after the default has occurred; the term “default” includes any event which after notice or passage of time or both would be an event of default. Except in the case of a default in payment, the trustee is protected in withholding notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors or responsible officers of the trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of notice is in the interest of the holders. Indenture, Section 6.11 If an event of default with respect to debt securities of any series, other than due to events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series, by notice in writing to us, and to the trustee if given by the holders, may declare the unpaid principal of and accrued interest to the date of acceleration on all the outstanding debt securities of that series to be due and payable immediately. The holders of a majority of the principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series, upon the conditions provided in the indenture, may rescind an acceleration and its consequences with respect to that series. If an event of default occurs due to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, all unpaid principal of and accrued interest on the outstanding debt securities of all series will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holder. Indenture, Section 6.1 The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee, with respect to the debt securities of that series, subject to the right of the trustee to decline to follow instructions that would be unlawful, expose the trustee to personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the interests of holders who do not join in the direction. Indenture, Section 6.9 Subject to the provisions of the indenture relating to the duties of the trustee, if an event of default shall occur and be continuing, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders, unless the holders have offered to the trustee reasonable indemnity. Indenture, Section 7.2 The indenture provides that we must periodically file statements with the trustee regarding compliance by us with all conditions and covenants contained in the indenture. Indenture, Section 4.6 15 Modification of Indenture. We may modify the indenture, without notice to or the consent of any holders of debt securities, with respect to certain matters, including: • to add one or more covenants or other provisions for the benefit of holders of debt securities of one or more series or to surrender any of our rights or powers, and • to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or to correct or supplement any provision which may be inconsistent with any other provision of the indenture. Indenture, Section 10.1 In addition, we may modify certain of our rights and obligations and the rights of holders of the debt securities with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities affected by the modification. Indenture, Section 10.2 No amendment or modification may, without the consent of each holder of any outstanding debt security affected: • change the stated maturity of any debt security, • reduce the principal amount of, or the rate of interest on, or the amount of any premium on, or any amount payable on redemption of, or extend the time for payment or change the method of calculating interest on, any debt security, or reduce the amount of principal of an original issue discount security that would be due and payable upon acceleration of maturity, • impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment with respect to any debt security, • reduce the percentage in principal amount of outstanding debt securities of any series necessary to modify or amend the indenture, or to waive compliance with certain provisions of the indenture or defaults or events of default and their consequences, or • subordinate any debt securities to any other of our indebtedness. Indenture, Section 10.2 Waiver. The holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may waive any default or event of default with respect to that series, except payment and bankruptcy defaults. Indenture, Section 6.10 Defeasance. Unless we state otherwise in the prospectus supplement relating to the debt securities of a particular series, the indenture provides that we shall be discharged from our obligations under the indenture with respect to any series of debt securities at any time prior to the maturity date or redemption of that series when we meet certain requirements specified in the indenture, including • when we have irrevocably deposited in trust with the trustee: • sufficient funds to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest to the maturity date or redemption on, the debt securities of that series, or • an amount of direct obligations of, or obligations guaranteed by, the United States government as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of any accrued income on those obligations, to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest to the maturity date or redemption on, the debt securities of that series, and • when we have paid all other sums payable with respect to the debt securities of that series. 16 Upon the discharge of the indenture with respect to a particular series, the holders of debt securities of that series shall no longer be entitled to the benefits of the indenture, except for purposes of registration of transfer, exchange and replacement of lost, stolen or mutilated debt securities. Indenture, Sections 12.1 and 12.2 Concerning the Trustee. We and our affiliates may conduct banking transactions with the trustee or its affiliates in the normal course of business. 17 BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM We may issue all or some of the first mortgage bonds and debt securities in book-entry form, which means that global notes, not certificates, will represent the securities. If we issue global notes representing any securities, the following provisions will apply to all book-entry securities: Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the Depository Trust Company, New York, NY, which we refer to as “DTC,” will act as securities depository for the securities. We will issue the securities as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co., DTC’s partnership nominee, or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. We will issue one or more fully-registered security certificates for each issue of the securities, in the aggregate principal amount of the issue, and we will deposit the certificates with the corporate trustee to hold as agent for DTC. We and the trustee will treat Cede & Co. as the holder of the securities for all purposes. DTC has informed us that it is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among direct participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between direct participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, or DTCC. DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant, either directly or indirectly. The DTC rules applicable to its participants are on file with the SEC. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com and www.dtc.org. Purchases of securities under the DTC system must be made by or through direct participants, which will receive a credit for the securities on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser, the beneficial owner, is in turn to be recorded on the direct and indirect participants’ records. Beneficial owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct or indirect participant through which the beneficial owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of direct and indirect participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the securities, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the securities is discontinued. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all securities deposited with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the securities. DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts the securities are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The direct and indirect participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to direct participants, by direct participants to indirect participants, and by direct participants and indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements that may be in effect from time to time. 18 Redemption notices will be sent to DTC. If less than all of the securities within an issue are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each direct participant in the issue to be redeemed. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co., nor any other DTC nominee, will consent or vote with respect to the securities unless authorized by a direct participant in accordance with DTC’s money market instrument procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an omnibus proxy to the issuer as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those direct participants to whose accounts the securities are credited on the record date, identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy. Redemption proceeds and distributions, including principal and interest payments, on the securities will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit direct participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from us or the trustee on the payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in street name. Payment by participants to beneficial owners will be the responsibility of the participants and not of DTC, the trustee or us, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds and distributions to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC, is our responsibility or the responsibility of the trustee. Disbursement of such payments to direct participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the beneficial owners will be the responsibility of direct and indirect participants. In case of any optional tender for or mandatory purchase of securities, pursuant to their terms, a beneficial owner shall give notice to elect to have its securities purchased or tendered through its participant to the tender/remarketing agent and shall effect delivery of the securities by causing the direct participant to transfer the participant’s interest in the securities, on DTC’s records, to the tender/remarketing agent. The requirement for physical delivery of securities in connection with an optional tender or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the securities are transferred by direct participants on DTC’s records and followed by a book-entry credit of tendered securities to the tender/remarketing agent’s DTC account. DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to us. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, security certificates are required to be printed and delivered. We may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC, or a successor securities depository. In that event, security certificates will be printed and delivered to DTC. Neither we, the trustee, any paying agent, nor the registrar for the securities will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a global security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to these beneficial ownership interests. The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources that we believe to be reliable, but we take no responsibility for the accuracy thereof. The underwriters, dealers or agents of any of the securities may be direct participants of DTC. 19 USE OF PROCEEDS Unless we state otherwise in the prospectus supplement, we will add the net proceeds from the sale of the securities to our general funds. We may use our general funds for any of the following purposes: • to acquire property, • to construct, complete, extend or improve our electric facilities, • to improve or maintain our service, • to redeem, pay at maturity or purchase outstanding first mortgage bonds and debt securities, and • to repay short-term borrowings. The precise amount and timing of the application of such proceeds will depend on our funding requirements, market conditions and the availability and cost of other funds. If we do not use the proceeds immediately, we may temporarily invest them in short-term instruments. 20 PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION Methods of Offer and Sale We may sell the securities offered by this prospectus: • through underwriters or dealers, • through agents, • directly to one or more purchasers, or • through a combination of any of the above methods of sale. Through Underwriters or Dealers. If we use underwriters in the sale, the underwriters will buy the securities for their own account. The underwriters may resell the securities in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of the sale. The underwriters may sell the securities directly or through underwriting syndicates that managing underwriters represent. Unless we state otherwise in the prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities if they purchase any of them. If we use a dealer in the sale, we will sell those securities to the dealer as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices determined at the time of resale. Any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time. Through Agents. We may from time to time designate one or more agents to sell the securities. Unless we state otherwise in the prospectus supplement, any agent will agree to use its best efforts to solicit purchases for the period of its appointment. Directly. We may sell the securities directly to one or more purchasers. In this case, there will be no underwriters or agents. General Information The prospectus supplement will state: • the names of any underwriters, dealers or agents, and the amounts of securities underwritten, purchased or sold by each of them, • the terms of the securities offered, • the purchase price of the securities and the proceeds we will receive from the sale, • any initial public offering price, • any discounts or commissions and other items constituting underwriters’ or agents’ compensation, and • any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers. We may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers from certain institutions. We may sell the securities to these institutions for delayed delivery at a specified date in the future. At that time, they will pay the public offering price on the terms we describe in the prospectus supplement. Underwriters, agents, dealers and remarketing firms may be entitled under agreements entered into with us to indemnification by us against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, or to contribution by us with respect to payments which the underwriters or agents may be required to make in respect thereof. Underwriters, agents, dealers and remarketing firms may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for us and our affiliates in the ordinary course of business. 21 INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN INFORMATION BY REFERENCE The SEC allows us to incorporate by reference information into this prospectus, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to other documents filed separately with the SEC.

EXPERTS The financial statements of Idaho Power Company incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and the effectiveness of Idaho Power Company’s internal control over financial reporting have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their reports. Such financial statements are incorporated by reference in reliance upon the reports of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing. With respect to the unaudited interim financial information for the periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 which is incorporated by reference herein, Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, have applied limited procedures in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) for a review of such information. However, as stated in their report included in Idaho Power Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and incorporated by reference herein, they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that interim financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. Deloitte & Touche LLP are not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their report on the unaudited interim financial information because that report is not a “report” or a “part” of the registration statement prepared or certified by an accountant within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Securities Act of 1933. 24 IDAHO POWER COMPANY IPC-E-22-14 ATTACHMENT 3 EXECUTION VERSION 1     157217119.4 SELLING AGENCY AGREEMENT June 30, 2022 BofA Securities, Inc.

The Registration Statement meets the requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(ix) or (x) under the Act. The prospectus dated May 16, 2022 relating to the Securities contained in the registration statement is hereinafter referred to as the “Base Prospectus.” In connection with the sale of the Notes, the Company has filed or proposes to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act a prospectus supplement relating to the Notes (the “Prospectus Supplement”) and further supplements (each a “Pricing Supplement”) specifying the interest rates, maturity dates and other terms of the Notes to be sold pursuant hereto or the offering thereof (the Base Prospectus as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement and any applicable Pricing Supplement being referred to herein as the “Prospectus”). Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents filed under the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference therein on or before the applicable effective date of the Registration Statement or the issue date of the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be; and any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents filed under the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference therein after the applicable effective date of the Registration Statement or the issue date of the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be.

(c) Other than the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus, any documents listed in Annex I to any Terms Agreement, or any document not constituting a prospectus under Section 2(a)(10)(a) of the Act or Rule 134 under the Act, the Company (including its agents and representatives, other than you) has not made, used, prepared, authorized, approved or referred to and will not make, use, prepare, authorize, approve or refer to, any “written communication” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Act) that constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes, unless such written communication is approved in writing in advance by such of you as may be applicable. To the extent any such written communication constitutes an “issuer free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Act and referred to herein as an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”), such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus will comply in all material respects with the requirements of Rule 433(c) under the Act and, if the filing thereof is required pursuant to Rule 433, such filing will be made in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 433(d) under the Act. The Company will retain copies of each such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in accordance with Rule 433 under the Act if retention is required pursuant to Rule 433. (d) As of the time any Notes are issued and sold hereunder, the Indenture will constitute a legal, valid and binding instrument enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms and such Notes will have been duly authorized, executed, authenticated and, when paid for by the purchasers thereof, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of the Indenture. (e) As of the time any Notes are issued and sold, the issue and sale of the Notes and the compliance by the Company with all the provisions of the Notes, the Indenture, and this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions herein and therein contemplated will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company are subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of the Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended or Bylaws of the Company or any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties; and no consent, approval, authorization, order, qualification of or registration with any such court or governmental agency or body is required for the issue and sale of the Notes or the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Indenture, except (i) such orders as have been issued by the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (which grants authority to sell the Notes through May 31, 2025), the Public Utility Commission of Oregon and the Public Service Commission of Wyoming and are in full force and effect, (ii) such orders (including amendments and supplements to existing orders) and approvals to be obtained from the Idaho Public Utilities Commission and the Public Service Commission of Wyoming before issuance or sale of any Notes having maturity of more than 30 years, which orders and approvals the Company hereby agrees and covenants to obtain before any such Notes are issued or sold, or any solicitation of offers to purchase such Notes is made, (iii) such as have been, or will have been prior to any Closing Date, obtained under the Act and the Trust Indenture Act and (iv) such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications as may be required under state securities or Blue Sky laws in connection with the sale and distribution of the Notes by the Agents.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting 4     157217119.4 was effective as of December 31, 2021 and the Company is not aware of any material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting. (g) Since the date of the latest audited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially adversely affected, or is reasonably likely to materially adversely affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. (h) The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) that were effective as of March 31, 2022. (i) At the earliest time after the filing of the registration statement that the Company makes a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) under the Act) of the Notes, the Company will not be an “ineligible issuer,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Act. (j) The terms that follow, when used in this Agreement, shall have the meanings indicated.

(k) (i)(A) At the time of filing of the Registration Statement, (B) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or form of prospectus), (C) at the time the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c) under the Act) made any offer relating to the Notes in reliance on the exemption of Rule 163 under the Act, and (D) at the execution time of this Agreement (with such date being used as the determination date for purposes of this clause (D)), the Company was, is and will be a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under the Act; and (ii) with respect to each offering of the Notes pursuant hereto, at the earliest time after the filing of the Registration Statement that the Company or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) under the Act) of such Notes, the Company was not and will not be an “ineligible issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under the Act.

Appointment of Agents; Solicitation by the Agents of Offers to Purchase; Sales of Notes to a Purchaser. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and to the reservation by the Company of the right to sell Securities directly on its own behalf, the Company hereby appoints each of the Agents to act as its agent to solicit offers for the purchase of all or part of the Notes from the Company. On the basis of the representations and warranties, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each of the Agents agrees, as agent of the Company, when requested by the Company to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit offers to purchase the Notes from the Company upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus as amended or supplemented from time to time and in the Procedures. Each Agent shall make reasonable efforts to assist the Company in obtaining performance by each purchaser whose offer to purchase Notes has been solicited by such Agent and accepted by the Company, but such Agent shall not, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, be obligated to disclose the identity of any purchaser or have any liability to the Company in the event any such purchase is not consummated for any reason. Except as provided in Section 2(b), under no circumstances will any Agent be obligated to purchase any Notes for its own account. It is understood and agreed, however, that if approved by the Company any Agent may purchase Notes as principal pursuant to Section 2(b). Each Agent agrees that in carrying out the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, it will observe and comply with all securities or blue sky laws, regulations, rules and ordinances in any jurisdiction in which the Notes may be offered, sold or delivered applicable to it as Agent hereunder. Each Agent agrees not to cause any advertisement of the Notes to be published in any newspaper or periodical or posted in any public place and not to publicly issue any circular relating to the Notes other than the Prospectus, except in any case with the prior express written consent of the Company. Each Agent represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Company, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Notes (other than by means of a Final Term Sheet) that would constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Act, required to be filed with the Commission. The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to instruct the Agents to suspend at any time, for any period of time or permanently, the solicitation of offers to purchase Notes. Upon receipt of instructions from the Company, the Agents will forthwith suspend solicitation of offers to purchase Notes from the Company until such time as the Company has advised them that such solicitation may be resumed. 7     157217119.4 The Company agrees to pay each Agent a commission, for such Agent’s services in acting as an agent and not for a purchase by such Agent as principal, at the Closing Date with respect to each sale of Notes by the Company as a result of a solicitation made by such Agent, in an amount equal to that percentage specified in Schedule I hereto of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes sold by the Company. Such commission shall be payable as specified in the Procedures. The Company may from time to time offer Securities or Notes for sale otherwise than through an Agent and from time to time may appoint additional agents to sell the Notes; provided, however, that so long as this Agreement shall be in effect, the Company shall not solicit or accept offers to purchase Notes through any agent other than an Agent, except that the Company may accept offers to purchase Notes through an agent other than an Agent if the Company gives the Agents reasonable prior notice of such acceptance and any such agent enters into an agreement with the Company on terms that are substantially similar to those contained in or incorporated in this Agreement. If the Company shall default in its obligations to deliver Notes to a purchaser whose offer it has accepted, the Company shall indemnify and hold each of you harmless against any loss, claim or damage arising from or as a result of such default by the Company. (b) Subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, whenever the Company and any of you determine that the Company shall sell Notes directly to any of you as principal, each such sale of Notes shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and a supplemental agreement relating to such sale. Each such supplemental agreement is herein referred to as a “Terms Agreement.” Each Terms Agreement shall describe the Notes to be purchased by the Purchaser pursuant thereto and shall specify the aggregate principal amount of such Notes, the price to be paid to the Company for such Notes, the maturity date of such Notes, the rate at which interest will be paid on such Notes, the dates on which interest will be paid on such Notes and the record date with respect to each such payment of interest, the Applicable Time with respect to such Notes, the Closing Date, the place of delivery of the Notes and payment therefor, the method of payment and any requirements for the delivery of opinions of counsel, certificates from the Company or its officers or a letter from the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm as described in Section 6(b). Any such Terms Agreement may also specify the period of time referred to in Section 4(1) and certain terms of the reoffering of the Notes. Any Terms Agreement shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and may take the form of an exchange of any standard form of written telecommunication between the Purchaser and the Company. The Purchaser’s commitment to purchase Notes shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the representations and warranties of the Company herein contained and shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth. Delivery of the certificates for Notes sold to the Purchaser pursuant to a Terms Agreement shall be made not later than the Closing Date agreed to in such Terms Agreement, against payment of funds to the Company in the net amount due to the Company for such Notes by the method and in the form set forth in the Procedures unless otherwise agreed to between the Company and the Purchaser in such Terms Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to between the Company and the Purchaser in a Terms Agreement, any Note sold to a Purchaser (i) shall be purchased by such Purchaser at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof less a percentage equal to the commission applicable to an agency sale of a Note of identical maturity and (ii) may be resold by such Purchaser at varying prices related to prevailing market prices determined at the time of resale or, if set forth in the applicable Terms Agreement and Pricing Supplement, at a fixed public offering price. In connection with any resale of Notes purchased, a Purchaser may use a selling or dealer group and may reallow to any broker or dealer any portion of the discount or commission payable pursuant hereto. Any resale at a discount may not exceed the amount set forth in the Pricing Supplement relating to such Notes. 8     157217119.4 3. Offering and Sale of Notes. Each Agent and the Company agree to perform the respective duties and obligations specifically provided to be performed by them in the Procedures. 4. Agreements. The Company agrees with you that: (a) Prior to the termination of the offering of the Notes (including by way of resale by a Purchaser of Notes), the Company will not file any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (except for (i) periodic or current reports filed under the Exchange Act, (ii) a supplement relating to any offering of Notes providing solely for the specification of or a change in the maturity dates, interest rates, issuance prices or other similar terms of any Notes or (iii) an amendment or a supplement relating to an offering of Securities other than the Notes) unless the Company has furnished each of you through your counsel a copy for your review prior to filing and given each of you a reasonable opportunity to comment on any such proposed amendment or supplement. Subject to the foregoing sentence, the Company shall cause each supplement to the Prospectus to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) under the Act within the time period prescribed and shall provide evidence satisfactory to you of such filing. To the extent required under the Act, the Company also agrees to prepare, prior to the termination of the offering of the Notes, with respect to any Notes to be sold pursuant to this Agreement, an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is a Final Term Sheet, and to file such Final Term Sheet pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act within the time required by such rule. The Company will promptly advise each of you (i) when the Prospectus, any supplement thereto and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus has been filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) or Rule 433(d) under the Act, (ii) when, prior to termination of any offering of Notes, any amendment to the Registration Statement (except periodic or current reports filed under the Exchange Act) has been filed or become effective, (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or for any additional information, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose, (v) of any notice of objection of the Commission to the use of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Act, and (vi) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Notes for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof. (b) If, at any time following the relevant Applicable Time, when a prospectus relating to the Notes is required to be delivered under the Act, any event occurs as a result of which (i) the Prospectus, the Final Term Sheet or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (ii) it is necessary to amend or supplement the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Final Term Sheet or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to comply with the Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder; or (iii) the information contained in an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicts with information contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus that has not been superseded or modified, the Company will promptly (x) notify each of you to suspend solicitation of offers to purchase Notes (and, if so notified by the Company, each of you shall forthwith suspend such solicitation and cease using the Prospectus as then supplemented), (y) prepare and file with the Commission, subject to the first sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 4, an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Final Term Sheet, which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance and (z) supply any supplemented Prospectus, Final Term Sheet or Issuer Free Writing 9     157217119.4 Prospectus to each of you in such quantities as you may reasonably request. If such amendment or supplement is satisfactory in all respects to you, you will, upon the filing of such amendment or supplement with the Commission and upon the effectiveness of an amendment to the Registration Statement, if such an amendment is required, resume your obligation to solicit offers to purchase Notes hereunder. (c) The Company, during the period when a prospectus relating to the Notes is required to be delivered under the Act, will file promptly all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and, to the extent such documents are not available pursuant to the EDGAR filing system, will furnish to each of you copies of such documents. (d) As soon as practicable, the Company will make generally available to its security holders and to each of you an earnings statement or statements of the Company and its subsidiaries which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158 under the Act. (e) The Company will furnish to each of you and your counsel, without charge, as many copies of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto), and, so long as delivery of a prospectus may be required by the Act, the Prospectus and each additional prospectus supplement, the Final Term Sheet, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and each amendment or supplement to the Indenture entered into subsequent to the date hereof, as you may reasonably request. (f) The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for the qualification of the Notes for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as any of you may reasonably designate, and will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Notes, except that the Company shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or dealer in securities or to execute a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction. (g) The Company shall, whether or not any sale of the Notes is consummated, (i) pay all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and any Terms Agreement, including the fees and disbursements of its accountants and counsel, the cost of printing or other production and delivery of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, all amendments thereof and supplements thereto, the Supplemental Indenture, the Final Term Sheet, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, this Agreement, any Terms Agreement and all other documents relating to the offering, the cost of preparing, printing, packaging and delivering the Notes, the fees and disbursements of your counsel incurred in compliance with Section 4(f) (such fees not to exceed $10,000), the fees and disbursements of the Trustee and the fees of any agency that rates the Notes, (ii) reimburse each of you as requested for all out-of-pocket expenses (including pre- approved advertising expenses), if any, incurred by you in connection with the implementation of this program and (iii) pay the reasonable fees and expenses of your counsel incurred in connection with the implementation of this program. (h) Each acceptance by the Company of an offer to purchase Notes will be deemed to be an affirmation that its representations and warranties contained in this Agreement are true and correct at the time of such acceptance, as though made at and as of such time, and a covenant that such representations and warranties will be true and correct at the Closing Date relating to such acceptance, as though made at and as of such time (it being understood that for purposes of the foregoing affirmation and covenant such representations and warranties shall relate to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus as amended or supplemented at each such time and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus relating to the Notes). Each such acceptance by the Company of an offer for the purchase of Notes shall be deemed to constitute an additional representation, warranty and agreement by the Company that, as of the Closing Date for the sale of such Notes, after giving effect to the issuance of such Notes, of any other Notes to be issued on or prior to such Closing Date and of any other Securities to be issued and sold by the Company on or prior to such Closing 10     157217119.4 Date, the aggregate amount of Securities (including any Notes) which have been issued and sold by the Company will not exceed the amount of Securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement. The Company will inform you promptly upon your request of the aggregate amount of Securities registered under the Registration Statement which remain unsold. (i) Each time the Company files with the Commission an Annual Report on Form 10-K or a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or a material amendment or supplement thereto, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered promptly to you a certificate of the Company, in form reasonably satisfactory to you, signed by the Chief Executive Officer or the President or the principal financial or accounting officer of the Company, dated the date of filing of such report or material amendment or supplement thereto, of the same tenor as the certificate referred to in Section 5(d) but modified to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to such date. (j) Each time the Company files with the Commission an Annual Report on Form 10-K or a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or a material amendment or supplement thereto, the Company shall furnish or cause to be furnished promptly to you written opinions of counsel for the Company, in form reasonably satisfactory to you, dated the date of filing of such report or material amendment or supplement thereto, of the same tenor as the opinions referred to in Section 5(b) but modified to relate to the Registration Statement as of its then most recent effective date and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to the date of filing of such report or material amendment or supplement thereto or, in lieu of such opinions, counsel last furnishing such opinions to you may furnish you with a letter to the effect that you may rely on such last opinions to the same extent as though they were dated the date of such letter authorizing reliance (except that statements in such last opinions will be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement as of its then most recent effective date and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to the date of filing of such report or material amendment or supplement thereto). (k) Each time the Company files with the Commission an Annual Report on Form 10-K or a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or a material amendment or supplement thereto, the Company shall cause its independent registered public accounting firm promptly to furnish you a letter, dated no later than five business days after the date of filing of such report or material amendment or supplement thereto, in form reasonably satisfactory to you, of the same tenor as the letter referred to in Section 5(e) with such changes as may be necessary to reflect the amended and supplemental financial information included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented to the date of such letter; provided, however, that, if the Registration Statement or the Prospectus is amended or supplemented solely to include or incorporate by reference financial information as of and for a fiscal quarter, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm may limit the scope of such letter, which shall be satisfactory in form to you, to the unaudited financial statements, the related “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and any other information of an accounting, financial or statistical nature included in such amendment or supplement, unless, in your reasonable judgment, such letter should cover other information or changes in specified financial statement line items. (l) During the period, if any, specified in any Terms Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior consent of the Purchaser thereunder, offer, sell or contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or announce the offering of, any first mortgage bonds issued by the Company (other than the Notes being sold pursuant to such Terms Agreement). (m) Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is agreed that if, at any time and from time to time during the term of this Agreement, the Company should deliver to the Agents notification of its decision to suspend solicitation of offers to purchase Notes pursuant to Section 2(a), then during the period of any such suspension or suspensions the Company shall be relieved of its obligation to provide to the Agents the 11     157217119.4 certificate, opinions and letter required pursuant to Sections 4(i), 4(j) and 4(k) hereof. However, whenever such a suspension is lifted, the Company shall be required to deliver to the Agents, prior to the resumption of any solicitation of offers to purchase Notes pursuant to Section 2(a), the most recent certificate, opinions and letter which would have been required except for the suspension. In the case of the letter required by Section 4(k) hereof, and not in limitation of Section 5(e), when the suspension is lifted the letter or letters provided by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm shall be provided for information included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented to the date of such letter, for which a letter or letters had not been previously provided pursuant to Section 4(k). (n) During the term of this Agreement, the Company shall furnish to each Agent (i) to the extent such documents are not available pursuant to the EDGAR filing system, copies of all annual, quarterly and current reports (without exhibits) of the Company filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act, (ii) to the extent such documents are not available pursuant to the EDGAR filing system or disseminated through a national news distribution source and publicly available at no charge to the recipient, copies of all announcements made to the general financial community and (iii) notice of (x) any decrease in the rating or (y) credit watch with negative implications, in either case of the Notes or any other debt securities of the Company, by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act). (o) The Company agrees that any person who has agreed to purchase and pay for any Note pursuant to a solicitation by any of the Agents shall have the right to refuse to purchase such Note if, subsequent to the agreement to purchase such Note and prior to the delivery of any payment for such Note, any change, condition or development specified in any of Sections 8(b)(iii), (iv) or (v) shall have occurred (with the judgment of the Agent that presented the offer to purchase such Note being substituted for any judgment of a Purchaser required therein) the effect of which is, in the judgment of the Agent that presented the offer to purchase such Note, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the sale and delivery of such Note (it being understood that under no circumstance shall any such Agent have any duty or obligation to the Company or to any such person to exercise the judgment permitted to be exercised under this Section 4(o)). (p) The Company shall pay any required Commission filing fees relating to the Notes within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1) under the Act without regard to the proviso therein and otherwise in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r) under the Act. 5. Conditions to the Obligations of the Agents. The obligations of each Agent to solicit offers to purchase the Notes shall be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company contained herein as of the Execution Time, when any supplement to the Prospectus relating to the Notes is filed with the Commission and as of each Closing Date, to the accuracy of the statements of the Company made in any certificates pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions: (a) If filing of the Prospectus, or any supplement thereto, is required pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act, the Prospectus, and any supplement, shall have been filed in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) under the Act; no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been instituted or threatened; and no notice of objection of the Commission to the use of the form of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Act shall have been received by the Company. 12     157217119.4 (b) Subject to Section 5(g) below, the Company shall have furnished to each Agent the opinions of Perkins Coie LLP or other counsel to the Company reasonably acceptable to the Agents, and the opinion of the General Counsel for the Company, dated the Execution Time, substantially in the forms of Exhibits D-1 and D-2 hereto and Exhibit E hereto, respectively.

In rendering their opinions, Sullivan & Cromwell LLP (or other counsel for the Agents) may rely upon the opinion described above of the General Counsel for the Company, as to all matters of Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming law. (d) The Company shall have furnished to each Agent a certificate of the Company, signed by the Chief Executive Officer or the President or the principal financial or accounting officer of the Company, dated the Execution Time, to the effect that: (i) the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof with the same effect as if made on the date hereof and the Company has complied with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied as a condition to the obligation of the Agents to solicit offers to purchase the Notes; (ii) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened; and no notice of objection of the Commission to the use of the form of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Act shall have been received by the Company; and (iii) since the date of the most recent audited financial statements included in o incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, there has been no material adverse change or any development that could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse change in the condition (financial or other), earnings, business or properties of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated by the Prospectus. (e) Subject to Section 5(g) below, at the Execution Time, Deloitte & Touche LLP, or such other independent registered public accounting firm approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, shall have furnished to each Agent a letter or letters (which may refer to letters previously delivered to the Agents), dated as of the Execution Time, to the effect set forth in Exhibit C hereto. (f) Subject to Section 5(g) below, prior to the Execution Time, the Company shall have furnished to each Agent such further information, documents and certificates as the Agents may reasonably request.

(h) In the case of solicitation of offers to purchase any Notes having maturity of more than 30 years, the Company shall have obtained the authorization of its Board of Directors, as well as the approval of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission and the Public Service Commission of Wyoming, in each case, for issuance of Notes having maturity of more than 30 years. If any of the conditions specified in this Section 5 shall not have been fulfilled in all material respects when and as provided in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be in all material respects reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to such Agents and counsel for the Agents, this Agreement and all obligations of any Agent hereunder may be cancelled at any time by the Agents. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Company in writing or by telephone or telegraph confirmed in writing.

(a) The Company will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless each of you for, from, and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which you may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus, any preliminary prospectus supplement, the Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and will reimburse each of you for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by you in connection with investigating or defending against such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any preliminary prospectus, any preliminary prospectus supplement, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by you or on your behalf for inclusion therein or arising out of, or based upon, statements in or omissions from Exhibits 25.1 and 25.3 to the Registration Statement which shall constitute the Statements of Eligibility of the Trustee on Forms T-1, or amendments thereto, under the Indenture. This indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have. The foregoing indemnity agreement shall, upon the same terms and conditions, extend to and inure to the benefit of each person, if any, that controls any of you within the meaning of the Act. (b) Each of you severally and not jointly shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company for, from, and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus, any preliminary prospectus supplement, the Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required 15     157217119.4 to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any preliminary prospectus, any preliminary prospectus supplement, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by you or on your behalf for inclusion therein; and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred. This indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability that you may otherwise have. The foregoing indemnity agreement shall, upon the same terms and conditions, extend to and inure to the benefit of each director of the Company, each of its officers who has signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, that controls the Company within the meaning of the Act. (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and each of you on the other from the offering of the Notes to which such loss, claim, damage or liability (or actions in respect thereof) relates and also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and each of you on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and each of you on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from such offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total discounts and commissions received by you. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or any of you on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and each of you agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include 16     157217119.4 any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), you shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Notes sold by or through you to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which you have otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of each of you in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to the respective sales made by or through you to the public to which such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof) relates and are not joint. 8. Termination. (a) This Agreement will continue in effect until terminated as provided in this Section 8. This Agreement may be terminated either by the Company as to any Agent or by any Agent insofar as this Agreement relates to such Agent, by giving written notice of such termination to such Agent or the Company, as the case may be. This Agreement shall so terminate at the close of business on the first business day following the receipt of such notice by the party to whom such notice is given. In the event of such termination with respect to any Agent, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to any other Agent as to which such termination has not occurred, and no party shall have any liability to the other party hereto, except as provided in the sixth paragraph of Section 2(a), Section 4(g), Section 7 and Section 9 hereof. (b) Each Terms Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Purchaser, by written notice given to the Company prior to delivery of any payment for any Note to be purchased thereunder, if subsequent to the agreement to purchase such Note and prior to such payment time (i) there shall have occurred any change in or affecting the business or properties of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole the effect of which is, in the judgment of the Purchaser, so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of Notes in the manner contemplated in the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and this Agreement, (ii) there shall have been any decrease in the rating of any of the Company’s first mortgage bonds by Moody’s Investors Service or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services the effect of which is, in the judgment of the Purchaser, so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of Notes in the manner contemplated in the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and this Agreement, (iii) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such Exchange, (iv) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by either Federal or New York State authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred, (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war or other calamity or crisis the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Purchaser, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of Notes in the manner contemplated in the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and this Agreement or (vi) there shall have occurred any adverse change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Purchaser, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of Notes in the manner contemplated in the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and this Agreement. 9. No Fiduciary Duty. The Company acknowledges and agrees with respect to the purchase and sale of Notes pursuant to Section 2(b) of this Agreement that (i) such purchase and sale is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and any of you, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each of you is acting solely as principal and not as agent or fiduciary of the Company, (iii) you have not assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process 17     157217119.4 leading thereto (irrespective of whether you have advised or are currently advising the Company on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and (iv) the Company has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. The Company acknowledges and agrees that with respect to the purchase and sale of Notes pursuant to Section 2(b) of this Agreement, it will not claim that you have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company, in connection with such purchase and sale or the process leading thereto. 10. Survival of Certain Provisions. The respective representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company or its officers and of you set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of you or the Company or any of the persons referred to in Section 7 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Notes. The provisions of Sections 4(g) and 7 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement applicable to any purchase of a Note for which an agreement to purchase exists prior to the termination hereof shall survive any termination of this Agreement. If at the time of termination of this Agreement any Purchaser shall own any Notes with the intention of selling them, the provisions of Section 4 shall remain in effect until such Notes are sold by the Purchaser. 11. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to any of you, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to such of you, at the address specified in Schedule I hereto; or, if sent to the Company, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to it at 1221 W.

Applicable Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto and thereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such respective counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. 15. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes. (a) In the event that any Agent that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Agent of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. (b) In the event that any Agent that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Agent becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Agent are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

BofA Securities, Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., MUFG Securities Americas Inc., U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as agents (each an “Agent”), have agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to solicit purchases of Notes issued in fully registered form. The Agents will not be obligated to purchase Notes for their own account. The Notes are being sold pursuant to a Selling Agency Agreement between the Company and the agents named therein (including the Agents) dated the date hereof (the “Agency Agreement”). The Notes have been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). The Notes will be issued under the Company’s Indenture of Mortgage and Deed of Trust, dated as of October 1, 1937, between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, formerly known as Bankers Trust Company (the “Trustee”), as supplemented, pursuant to the Fiftieth Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 30, 2022 (the “Indenture”). The Agency Agreement provides that Notes may also be purchased by an Agent acting solely as principal and not as agent. In the event of any such purchase, the functions of both the Agent and the beneficial owner under the administrative procedures set forth below shall be performed by such Agent acting solely as principal, unless otherwise agreed to between the Company and such Agent acting as principal. Each Note will be represented by a Global Security (as defined hereinafter) delivered to Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (“Deutsche Bank”) as agent for The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), and recorded in the book-entry system maintained by DTC (a “Book-Entry Note”). An owner of a Book- Entry Note will not be entitled to receive a certificate representing such Note. The procedures to be followed during, and the specific terms of, the solicitation of orders by the Agents and the sale as a result thereof by the Company are explained below. Administrative and record- keeping responsibilities will be handled for the Company by its Finance Department. The Company will advise the Agents and the Trustee in writing of those persons handling administrative responsibilities with whom the Agents and the Trustee are to communicate regarding orders to purchase Notes and the details of their delivery. Administrative procedures and specific terms of the offering are explained below. Book-Entry Notes will be issued in accordance with the administrative procedures set forth below, as adjusted in accordance with changes in DTC’s operating requirements. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Indenture and the Notes shall be used herein as therein defined. Only fixed rate Notes may be issued. To the extent the procedures set forth below conflict with the provisions of the Notes, the Indenture, DTC’s operating requirements or the Agency Agreement, the relevant provisions of the Notes, the Indenture, DTC’s operating requirements and the Agency Agreement shall control.   A-2    157217119.4 Administrative Procedures for Book-Entry Notes In connection with the qualification of the Book-Entry Notes for eligibility in the book-entry system maintained by DTC, Deutsche Bank will perform the custodial, document control and administrative functions described below, in accordance with its respective obligations under a Letter of Representations from the Company and Deutsche Bank to DTC dated as of November 21, 2000, and a Medium-Term Note Certificate Agreement between Deutsche Bank and DTC, dated as of October 21, 1988, and its obligations as a participant in DTC, including DTC’s Same-Day Funds Settlement system (“SDFS”). Issuance: On any date of settlement (as defined under “Settlement” below) for one or more Book- Entry Notes, the Company will issue a single global security in fully registered form without coupons (a “Global Security”) representing up to $1,200,000,000 principal amount of all such Book-Entry Notes that have the same Issue Date, original issue discount provisions, if any, Interest Payment Dates, Regular Record Dates, redemption, repayment and extension provisions, if any, Maturity Date, and interest rate (collectively, the “Terms”). Each Global Security will be dated and issued as of the date of its authentication by the Trustee. Each Global Security will bear an original issue date, which will be (i) with respect to an original Global Security (or any portion thereof), the original issue date specified in such Global Security and (ii) following a consolidation of Global Securities, with respect to the Global Security resulting fro such consolidation, the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been aid or duly provided for on the predecessor Global Secu ities, regardless of the date o authentication of such resulting Global Security. No Global Security will represent any securities in certificated form. Identification umbers: The Company has arranged with the CUSIP Service Bureau of Standard & Poor’s Corporation (the “CUSIP Service Bureau”) for the reservation of a series of CUSIP numbers, which series consists of approximately 900 CUSIP numbers and relates to Global Securities representing Book-Entry Notes and book-entry medium-term notes issued by the Company with other series designations. Deutsche Bank, the Company and DTC have obtained from the CUSIP Service Bureau a written list of such reserved CUSIP numbers. Deutsche Bank will assign CUSIP numbers to Global Securities as described below under Settlement Procedure “B.” DTC will notify the CUSIP Service Bureau periodically of the CUSIP numbers that Deutsche Bank has assigned to Global Securities. Deutsche Bank will notify the Company at any time when fewer than 100 of the reserved CUSIP numbers remain unassigned to Global Securities, and, if it deems necessary, the Company will reserve additional CUSIP numbers for assignment to Global Securities. Upon obtaining such additional CUSIP numbers, Deutsche Bank o the Company shall deliver a list of such additional CUSIP numbers to DTC. Registration: Global Securities will be issued only in fully registered form without coupons. Each Global Security will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC, o such other name as may be requested by DTC, on the bond register for the Notes maintained under the Indenture. The beneficial owner of a Book-Entry Note (or one o more indirect participants in DTC designated by such owner) will designate one or more articipants in DTC (with respect to such Book-Entry Note, the “Participants”) to act as agent or agents for such owner in connection with the book-entry system maintained by DTC, and DTC will record in book-entry form, in accordance with instructions provide y such Participants, a credit balance with respect to such beneficial owner in such   A-3    157217119.4 Book-Entry Note in the account of such Participants. The ownership interest of such beneficial owner (or such Participants) in such Book-Entry Note will be recorded through the records of such Participants or through the separate records of such Participants and one or more indirect participants in DTC. Transfers: Transfers of a Book-Entry Note will be accomplished by book entries made by DTC and, in turn, by Participants (and in certain cases, one or more indirect participants in DTC) acting on behalf of beneficial transferors and transferees of such Note. Exchanges: After the first Interest Payment Date on individual issues of the Notes, Deutsche Bank may deliver to DTC’s Reorganization Department, Interactive Data Control and the CUSIP Service Bureau at any time a written notice of consolidation (a copy of which shall be attached to the resulting Global Security described below) specifying (i) the CUSIP numbers of two or more outstanding Global Securities that represent Book-Entry otes having the same Terms and for which interest has been paid to the same date, (ii) a date, occurring at least thirty (30) days after such written notice is delivered and a least thirty (30) days before the next Interest Payment Date for such Book-Entry Notes, on which such Global Securities shall be exchanged for a single replacement Global Security and (iii) a new CUSIP number to be assigned to such replacement Global Security. Upon receipt of such a notice, DTC will send to its participants (including Deutsche Bank) a written reorganization notice to the effect that such exchange will occur on such date. Prior to the specified exchange date, Deutsche Bank will deliver to the CUSIP Service Bureau a written reorganization notice setting forth such exchange date and such new CUSIP number and stating that, as of such exchange date, the CUSIP numbers of the Global Securities to be exchanged will no longer be valid. On the specified exchange date, Deutsche Bank will exchange such Global Securities for a single Global Security bearing the new CUSIP number and the CUSIP numbers of the exchanged Global Securities will, in accordance with CUSIP Service Bureau rocedures, be cancelled and not immediately reassigned. Maturities: Each Book-Entry Note will mature on a date not less than one (1) year nor more than forty (40) years after the Issue Date for such Note. Denominations: Book-Entry Notes will be issued in principal amounts of $1,000 or any amount in excess thereof that is an integral multiple of $1,000. Interest: General. Interest, if any, on each Book-Entry Note will accrue from the Original Interest Accrual Date for the first interest period or the last date to which interest has been paid, if any, for each subsequent interest period, on the Global Security representing such Book-Entry Note, and will be calculated and paid in the manner described in such Book- Entry Note and in the Prospectus (as defined in the Agency Agreement). Unless otherwise specified therein, each payment of interest on a Book-Entry Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the Interest Payment Date or to but excluding Maturity (other than a Maturity of a Book-Entry Note occurring on the 31st day of a month, in which case such payment of interest will include interest accrued to but excluding the 30th day of such month). Interest payable at the Maturity of a Book-Entry Note will be ayable to the Person to whom the principal of such Note is payable. Standard & Poor’s Corporation will use the information received in the pending deposit message described under Settlement Procedure “C” below in order to include the amount of any interes   A-4    157217119.4 ayable and certain other information regarding the related Global Security in the appropriate (daily or weekly) bond report published by Standard & Poor’s Corporation.

We have also assumed the regularity of all corporate procedures, that the Trustee has the power and authority to authenticate the certificate representing the Notes and that the Mortgage has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Trustee. We have also relied, without investigation, on the following assumptions, in addition to those set forth elsewhere in this letter: (1) All individuals have sufficient legal capacity to perform their functions with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (the “Transaction”). (2) The Transaction Documents that are agreements and the other agreements reviewed by us are valid and binding obligations of each party thereto, other than the Company, enforceable against it in accordance with their terms, and each such party has complied with all legal requirements pertaining to its status relevant to its right to enforce such agreements against the Company. B. Opinions Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications and exclusions and further assumptions stated below, we express the following opinions: (1) The Mortgage has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, has been duly executed and delivered by the Company, and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting mortgagees’ and other creditors’ rights, and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such principles are considered in a proceeding at law or in equity) and has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”). (2) The Notes[, when issued and paid for as contemplated in the Agency Agreement and the Mortgage, will be] [are] legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms and entitled to the benefit of the security provided by the Mortgage, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting mortgagees’ and other creditors’ rights and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such principles are considered in a proceeding at law or in equity). (3) The Agency Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and has been duly executed and delivered by the Company. (4) [The Terms Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and has been duly executed and delivered by the Company.] (5) Without independent verification of the factual accuracy, completeness or fairness of any statements made in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, the Registration Statement, as of its most   D-1-3    157217119.4 recent effective date, including the documents incorporated therein by reference, and the Prospectus, as of the date [hereof][of the [Prospectus][Pricing] Supplement], appeared on their face to be appropriately responsive, in all material respects, to the requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Trust Indenture Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (except for the financial statements and financial schedules and other financial or accounting data included therein or omitted therefrom and for management’s report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and the auditor’s report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting included therein and the Statements of Eligibility of the Trustee on Forms T-1 under the Trust Indenture Act, as to which we express no opinion); the Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act; and, to our knowledge, no proceedings for a stop order with respect thereto are pending or threatened under Section 8(d) of the Securities Act. (6) [The issuance and sale of the Notes and the compliance by the Company with all of the provisions of the Notes, the Mortgage, the Agency Agreement and the Terms Agreement and the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any statute of the State of New York or the State of Idaho or any order, rule or regulation of any New York or Idaho court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties that in our experience are typically applicable to agreements similar to the Transaction Documents and transactions similar to the Transaction, it being understood that we express no opinion as to the securities or blue sky laws.] (7) All regulatory consents and approvals required to be obtained by the Company from any governmental body or bodies in connection with the Company’s issuance and sale of the Notes [to the Purchasers] in the manner set forth in the Agency Agreement [and the Terms Agreement] have been obtained and are in effect, except that the order of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission grants authority to sell the Notes only through May 31, 2025; it being understood that we express no opinion as to any consents or approvals required to be obtained, or other actions required to be taken, under the state securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction. (8) The statements set forth in the Base Prospectus under the caption “Description of First Mortgage Bonds[,]”[and] in the Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Description of the Notes[,]” [and in the Pricing Supplement under the caption “[],”] insofar as they purport to summarize certain provisions of the documents referred to therein, fairly summarize such provisions in all material respects. C. Exclusions; Qualifications; Further Assumptions [In connection with our opinions set forth in paragraphs (2) and [(7)] above, we have assumed that at the time of the issuance, sale and delivery of each particular Note that Note will conform to the form of Note examined by us. In connection with our opinion set forth in paragraph (2) above, we have assumed that at the time of the issuance, sale and delivery of each particular Note there will not have occurred any change in law affecting the validity, legally binding character or enforceability of such Note and that the issuance, sale and delivery of such Note, all of the terms of such Note and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder will comply with each requirement or restriction imposed by any court or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company and will not result in a default under or a breach of the Mortgage or any agreement or instrument then binding upon the Company.] In connection with our opinion set forth in paragraph [(5)] above, we have assumed the correctness and completeness of the representations and statements made to us or included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus by the Company and take no responsibility therefor.   D-1-4    157217119.4 The opinion expressed in paragraph (5) above, with respect to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement is based solely on electronic confirmation from the Commission of the filing of the Registration Statement on the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (EDGAR) system. The opinion expressed in paragraph (5) above, with respect to the absence of any stop orders suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, is based solely on confirmation of the list of stop orders issued by the Commission on the Commission’s website on []. The foregoing opinions are limited to the federal laws of the United States and the laws of the States of New York and Idaho, and we express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. We are not passing upon matters relating to title to property, liens, licenses, franchises, water rights or conformity to the laws of the States of Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Washington or Wyoming, or upon questions of the recording of, or the validity or priority of the lien of, the Mortgage. The opinions expressed herein (a) are limited to matters expressly stated herein, and no other opinions may be implied or inferred and (b) are as of the date hereof (except as otherwise noted above). We disclaim any undertaking or obligation to update these opinions for events and circumstances occurring after the date hereof or as to facts relating to prior events that are subsequently brought to our attention.

This opinion letter may not be used or relied upon for any other purpose or by any other person or entity, including, without limitation, any person to whom any of the [Agents] [Purchasers] offers or sells any Notes, without our express written consent.

I am familiar with its legal status and that of its property, and I am also familiar with (1) the Mortgage; (2) the registration statement (File No. 333-264984) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), which became effective on May 16, 2022 (the “Registration Statement”); (3) the prospectus relating to the securities of the Company, dated May 16, 2022 (the “Base Prospectus”), as supplemented by a prospectus supplement relating to the Notes, dated June 30, 2022 (the “Prospectus Supplement”) [and Pricing Supplement No. [●], dated [●], relating to the Notes (the “Pricing Supplement”)], in each case including the documents incorporated by reference therein (the Base Prospectus, as so supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement [and the Pricing Supplement], being hereinafter referred to as the “Prospectus”); (4) the Agency Agreement[;] [and] (5) the Bond Application, dated June 30, 2022, for authentication and delivery of the [Notes] [notes] in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $1,200,000,000 (the “Bond Application”)[; (6) the final term sheet, dated [●], relating to the Notes (the “Free Writing Prospectus”), as filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433 under the Securities Act and (7) the Terms Agreement]. Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Agency Agreement [or the Terms Agreement]. I have made such examination of matters of law as in my opinion is necessary or desirable for the purpose of this opinion. I have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of such records, agreements, documents and other instruments as I have deemed relevant and   E-2   157217119.4 necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter set forth. In such examination, and in the review of all such documents, including the documents referred to in clauses (1) through [(5)][(7)] of the preceding paragraph, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. I have also assumed that the Trustee has the power and authority to authenticate the certificate representing the Notes and that the Mortgage has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Trustee. Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and subject to the further qualifications and limitations expressed below, I am of the opinion that: (1) The Company has been duly incorporated, is validly existing as a corporation and is in good standing under the laws of the State of Idaho, with the requisite corporate power to own its properties and conduct its business in all material respects as described in the Prospectus. (2) To the best of my knowledge, other than as set forth in the Prospectus, there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or of which any property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is the subject which if decided adversely to the Company would individually or in the aggregate be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as a whole; and, to the best of my knowledge, no such proceedings are threatened or contemplated by governmental authorities or threatened by others. (3) The Agency Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company. (4) [The Terms Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.] (5) The Notes[, when issued and paid for as contemplated in the Agency Agreement and the Mortgage, will be] [have been duly authorized, executed, authenticated, issued and delivered and are] legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms and entitled to the benefit of the security provided by the Mortgage, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting mortgagees’ and other creditors’ rights and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such principles are considered in a proceeding at law or in equity). (6) The Mortgage has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a valid lien to the extent that it purports to be one upon the property described therein as being subject to the lien thereof (except any which has been duly released from the lien thereof) and is a legal, valid and binding instrument, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting mortgagees’ and other creditors’ rights and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such principles are considered in a proceeding at law or in equity); said Mortgage has been duly recorded and filed in such manner and in such places as are required by law in order to establish, preserve and protect the lien of said Mortgage. (7) The issuance and sale of the Notes [in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the amount set forth in the Bond Application] and the compliance by the Company with all of the provisions of the Notes, the Mortgage[,] [and] the Agency Agreement [and the Terms Agreement] and the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement   E-3   157217119.4 or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company is subject, nor will such actions result in any violation of the provisions of the Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or Bylaws, as amended, of the Company or any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties. (8) The description of the Company’s property in the Mortgage is adequate to constitute the Mortgage a lien thereon. The Company has good and marketable fee title to all real property upon which the Mortgage purports to create a lien, except water rights, leases, licenses, franchises, easements and other interests in real property of a similar nature, as to which it has good and valid title, in each case free and clear of all liens, charges and encumbrances other than excepted encumbrances as defined in the Mortgage and the lien of the Mortgage, subject to minor defects and clouds common to property of the size and character of that of the Company. Such minor defects and clouds are in my opinion not important and do not materially interfere with the operations of the Company or materially detract from the value of its property. (9) The Company has such valid franchises, permits, licenses, easements and consents, free from burdensome restrictions, as are required by law for the operation of the Company’s system and as are required for the adequate conduct of its business in the territory which it serves. (10) All regulatory consents and approvals required to be obtained by the Company from any governmental body or bodies in connection with the Company’s issuance and sale of the Notes [to the Purchasers] in the manner set forth in the Agency Agreement [and the Terms Agreement] have been obtained and are in effect, except that the order of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission grants authority to sell the Notes only through May 31, 2025; it being understood that I express no opinion as to any consents or approvals required to be obtained, or other actions required to be taken, under the state securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction. (11) The statements set forth in the Base Prospectus under the caption “Description of First Mortgage Bonds[,]” [and] in the Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Description of the Notes[,]” [and in the Pricing Supplement under the captions “[●]” and “[●],”] insofar as they purport to summarize certain provisions of the documents described therein, fairly summarize such provisions in all material respects. [In connection with my opinions set forth in paragraphs [(5)] and [(10)] above, I have assumed that at the time of the issuance, sale and delivery of each particular Note that Note will conform to the form of Note examined by me. In connection with my opinion set forth in paragraph [(5)] above, I have assumed that at the time of the issuance, sale and delivery of each particular Note there will not have occurred any change in law affecting the validity, legally binding character or enforceability of such Note and that the issuance, sale and delivery of such Note, all of the terms of such Note and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder will comply with each requirement or restriction imposed on the Company after the date hereof by any court or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company and will not result in a default under or a breach of any agreement or instrument that becomes binding upon the Company after the date hereof.] In the course of the preparation by the Company of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, I have had conferences with certain of its officers and representatives and with Deloitte & Touche LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm who examined certain of the financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. Based upon the procedures   E-4   157217119.4 set forth above, nothing has come to my attention that has caused me to believe that (i) the Registration Statement, as of its most recent effective date, including the documents incorporated therein by reference, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) [as of [] Eastern [Daylight] Time on [], the pricing disclosure package consisting of the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement and the Free Writing Prospectus, taken as a whole, including the documents incorporated by reference therein as of such date (the “Pricing Disclosure Package”), contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. In addition, nothing has come to my attention that has caused me to believe that the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented as of the date of the Terms Agreement and as of the date and time of the delivery of this letter, including the documents incorporated by reference therein as of such dates, contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading] [the Prospectus, as amended and supplemented as of the date and time of delivery of this letter, including the documents incorporated by reference therein as of such dates, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading]. I do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement[,] [or] the Prospectus [or the Pricing Disclosure Package] (except to the limited extent referred to in paragraph [(11)] above). I express no view as to the financial statements or other financial or accounting data included in the Registration Statement[,] [or] the Prospectus [or the Pricing Disclosure Package], or as to management’s report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting or the auditor’s report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting included therein or as to the Statements of Eligibility of the Trustee on Forms T-1 under the Trust Indenture Act. My opinions expressed in the numbered paragraphs above are limited to the laws of the State of Idaho and the federal laws of the United States and, with respect to paragraphs [5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10], to the laws of the States of Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming as well.
