2. Micron receives electric utility services from Idaho Power Company ("Idaho
Power") as a Special Contract customer. Micron is Idaho Power's single largest customer. Micron
was also an active participant in Idaho Power's related proceedings IPC-E-I8-15 and IPC-E-l9-
l5 regarding customer-owned generation systems connected to the grid and the recovery of fixed
and variable costs. Micron seeks to intervene in this proceeding to continue the progress achieved
in those proceedings and to ensure that compensation paid to customers with on-site generation
under Schedule 84 is just, reasonable, and does not result in unreasonable cost-shifts to customers
without on-site generation. As a large customer, Micron is particularly susceptible to the impact
of such potential cost shifts. Therefore, Micron has a direct and substantial interest in this
proceeding.
3. Micron intends to participate herein as a party, and if necessary, to introduce
evidence, cross-examine witnesses, call and examine witnesses, and be heard in argument. The
nature and quality of evidence which Micron will introduce is dependent upon the nature and effect
of other evidence in this proceeding.
4. Granting Micron's Petition to Intervene will not unduly broaden the issues, nor will
it prejudice any party to this case.

5. Without the opportunity to intervene herein, Micron would be without adequate
means of participation in this proceeding that may have a material impact on its electric rates and
terms and conditions of service.
WHEREFORE, Micron Technology, Inc. respectfully requests that the Commission grant
its Petition to lntervene in this proceeding and to appear and participate in all matters as may be
necessary and appropriate; and to present evidence, call and examine witnesses, present argument
and to otherwise fully participate in this proceeding.
Respectfully submitted August 7, 2020.
