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.
Therefore, Micron is particularly susceptible to rate increases, including Idaho Power's proposal
in this proceeding to accelerate the depreciation schedule for the Jim Bridger Power Plant resulting
in an overall rate increase to customers of 2.53o/o. Therefore, Micron has a direct and substantial
interest in this proceeding because Idaho Power's application will affect its rates for electric
servlce.
3. Micron intends to participate herein as a party, and if necessary, to introduce
evidence, cross-examine witnesses, call and examine witresses, and be heard in argument. The

[PC-E-zI-t7
nature and quality of evidence Micron will intoduce 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 service rates.
WHEREFORE, Micron Technology, Inc. respectfully requests that the Commission grant
its Petition to Intervene in this proceeding and to appear and participate in all matters as may be
necessary and appropriate; and to present evidence, call and examine witresses, present argument
and to otherwise fully participate in this proceeding.
Respectfully submitted July 15, 2021.
