2. Micron receives electric utility services from ldaho Power Company ("Idaho
Power") as a Special Contract customer. Micron is Idaho Power's single largest customer. In this
proceeding, Idaho Power seeks to initiate a multi-phase process for a comprehensive study of the
costs and benefits of on-site generation. Micron is concerned that compensation paid to customers
with on-site generation could create inappropriate cost shifts to customers without on-site
generation. As a large customer, Micron is particularly susceptible to the impact of potential cost
shifts to customers without on-site generation and therefore supports Idaho Power's efforts to
conduct a transparent and comprehensive sfudy of these issues. Micron was also an active
participant in Case No. IPC-E-18-15 in which the Commission directed Idaho Power to conduct
the study that will occur in this proceeding. Therefore, Micron has a direct and substantial interest
in this proceeding because Idaho Power's application may affect its rates for electric service.

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 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 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 witnesses, present argument
and to otherwise fully participate in this proceeding.
Respectfully submitted August I 6, 2021.
