NEWS RELEASE: Written comments are being accepted on Idaho Power application to make
changes to a flex peak program it offers.
BOISE (Jan. 3, 2024) – The Idaho Public Utilities Commission is accepting written comments
until late January on an Idaho Power application to make changes to its Schedule 82 – Flex Peak
Program.
This voluntary demand response program offers industrial and large commercial customers an
opportunity to reduce their electrical loads for short periods during the summer. The flex peak
program reduces generation and transmission requirements to serve customers on days when the
utility’s system’s capacity could be constrained. Industrial and commercial customers that
participate are offered incentive payments.
Idaho Power submitted an application to modify certain payment structures, add a waiver
provision covering participating customers whose load control device fails, revise the definition
of “day of” load adjustment, establish an option to extend the four-hour notification limit for
certain customers and add definitions for certain terms along with other minor updates related to
the other proposed changes. The utility is asking that its application be effective on April 15,
2024.
The commission is accepting written comments until Jan. 25, 2024. Comments are required to be
filed through the commission’s website or by e-mail unless computer access is not available. To
