Extended Settlement:
We expect that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about September 11, 2023, which will be the third business day
following the date of pricing of the Notes, or "T+3." Under Rule 15c6-l of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise.
Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes on the date of pricing will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially settle in T+3, to
specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Notes who wish to trade the
Notes prior to their date of delivery hereunder should consult their advisors.
Optional Redemption:
Prior to October 1, 2053 (six (6) months prior to their maturity date) (the "Par Call Date"), we may redeem the Notes at our option, in whole or in part,
at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to
the greater of:
(l)(a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date
(assuming the Notes matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months)
at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and
(2) I 00% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed,
plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.
On or after the Par Call Date, we may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of
the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.
"Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by us in accordance with the following two paragraphs.
The Treasury Rate shall be determined by us after 4: 15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted
daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields
for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System designated as "Selected Interest Rates (Dailyr--H.15" (or any successor designation or publication) ("H.15") under the caption "U.S.
government securities-Treasury constant maturities-Nominal" (or any successor caption or heading) ("H.15 TCM"). In determining the Treasury Rate,
we shall select, as applicable: ( 1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the Par
Call Date (the "Remaining Life"); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields -one
yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity
on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life-and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of
days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or
longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this
paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H. 15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of
months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.
If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, we shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per
annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11 :00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such redemption
date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States
Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the
Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, we shall select the United
States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par
Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, we shall select from among these two or more
United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for
such United States Treasury securities at 11 :00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this
paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked
prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11 :00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three
decimal places.
Our actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 30 days before the redemption date to each holder of Notes to be redeemed.
In the case ofa partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole
discretion deems appropriate and fair. No Notes of a principal amount of $1,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any Note is to be redeemed in part
only, the notice ofredemption that relates to the Note will state the portion of the principal amount of the Note to be redeemed. A new Note in a
principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Note will be issued in the name of the holder of the Note upon surrender for cancellation of the
original Note. For so long as the Notes are held by DTC (or another depositary), the redemption of the Notes shall be done in accordance with the
policies and procedures of the depositary.
Unless we default in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof
called for redemption.
Supplemental Plan of Distribution and Terms Agreement:
We have entered into a terms agreement with the purchasers of the Notes with respect to the Notes. The purchasers are committed to take and pay for all

including the purchasers' discount and discounted price to the public, and estimated offering expenses. The expenses of the sale of the Notes, not
including discounts, are estimated at $1.5 million and are payable by us. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to fund a portion ofldaho
Power Company's capital expenditures and for other general corporate purposes.
Legal Matters:
Julia Hilton, our Vice President and General Counsel, and Perkins Coie LLP, Seattle, Washington, will pass upon the validity of the Notes and other
legal matters for us. Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, Los Angeles, California, will pass upon the validity of the Notes for the purchasers listed under
"Supplemental Plan of Distribution and Terms Agreement." As of September I, 2023, Ms. Hilton beneficially owned 1,947 shares of IDACORP, Inc.
