2. Micron receives electric utility services from Idaho Power Company ("Idaho
Power") as a Special Contract customer. Micron is tdaho Power's single largest customer.
Therefore, Micron is particularly susceptible to the rate and service reliability impacts inherent in
major Idaho Power resource decisions, including the appropriate timing of Idaho Power's exit from
the North Valmy Power Plant Unit 2. Further, Micron is an active participant in Idaho Power's
Integrated Resource Plan Advisory Council (IRPAC) and was an active participant in Idaho
Power's most recent Integrated Resource Plan proceeding.l Micron seeks to intervene in this
proceeding to continue the progress it has achieved in those settings. Therefore, Micron has a
direct and substantial interest in this proceeding.
3. Micron intends to participate herein as a pafty, and if necessary, to introduce
evidence, cross-examine witnesses, call and examine witnesses, and be heard in argument. The
nature and quality of evidence 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, Micron would be without adequate means of
participation in this proceeding that may have a material impact on its electric rates, service
reliability, and terms and conditions of service.

necessary and appropriate; and to present evidence, call and examine witnesses, present argument
and to otherwise fully participate in this proceeding.
Respectfully submitted June ll, 2021.
