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
also participates in the Idaho Power Integrated Resource Plan Advisory Council. Therefore,
Micron is particularly interested in and susceptible to the rate and service reliability impacts
inherent in Idaho Power resource decisions, including Idaho Power's proposed resource
acquisitions in this proceeding.
3. Additionally, as discussed in Idaho Power's Application, the Commission is
currently considering Micron's revised Special Contract with ldaho Power in Case No. IPC-E-22-
06. Pursuant to the revised Special Contract, Idaho Power will supply Micron with energy from a
power purchase agreement with the Black Mesa Energy, LLC ("Black Mesa") solar generation
facility to be co-located with the Black Mesa baffery storage project at issue in this proceeding.
Micron is interested in Idaho Power's acquisition of the Black Mesa battery storage project as it

relates to the Black Mesa solar generation project. Micron does not oppose Idaho Power's
acquisition of the Black Mesa battery storage project but rather seeks to participate in this
proceeding because issues may arise that impact the Black Mesa solar generation project and
Micron's revised Special Contract.
4. Therefore, Micron has a direct and substantial interest in this proceeding.
5. 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.
6. Granting Micron's Petition to Intervene will not unduly broaden the issues, nor will
it prejudice any party to this case.
7. 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.
