RECEIVED
2023 JUNE 8, 2023 6:45PM
IDAHO PUBLIC
UTILITIES COMMISSION
Please provide copies of all pleadings, production requests, production responses,
Commission orders, and other documents to the names and addresses above. In the interest of
conserving natural resources and reducing the costs to all parties, all documents and other filings
may be submitted via electronic mail in accordance with IPUC Rules 31.01.01.063.02-03 and
Order 35058.
2. CEO is a non-profit corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Idaho.
3. CEO has a direct and substantial interest in this proceeding. The organization was
founded with a mission to bring problem-solving rigor and solution-focused approaches to
advance clean energy and better serve the long-term interests of Idahoans and future generations.
The need to bring these skills and approach into clean energy related dockets was an impetus for
founding the organization. CEO has intervened and actively participated in past dockets,
including the currently open cases of IPC-E-23-14 and IPC-E-21-42. CEO has a direct and
substantial interest in continuing to participate in dockets relating to rates and the valuation of
energy resources through this proceeding. Without an opportunity to intervene herein, CEO
would not have an adequate means of fully participating in the determination of matters related
to those issues. CEO aims to contribute from a perspective informed by collaborative
problem-solving approaches and multiple stakeholder interests.
4. CEO’s participation as an intervenor in this proceeding will not unduly broaden the
issues or delay the proceeding because CEO’s interest is directly related to the subjects addressed
in Idaho Power's application. CEO’s involvement in this proceeding will not be duplicative of
other parties in this proceeding because no other party adequately represents CEO’s interests.

IPC-E-23-11.
5. CEO intends to fully participate in this matter as a party. The nature and quality of
CEO’s intervention in the proceeding is dependent upon the nature and effect of other evidence
in this proceeding. If necessary, CEO may introduce evidence, be heard in argument, and call,
examine, and cross-examine witnesses. CEO intends to seek intervenor funding pursuant to
IDAPA 31.01.01.161-165.
WHEREFORE, CEO respectfully requests the Commission grant this petition.
DATED this 8th day of June, 2023.
Respectfully submitted,
