Pursuant to Order No. 35375, Commission Rules 61 and 62 are suspended and all service in this
docket, except for voluminous discovery-related documents, is to be completed electronically. If
the Commission decides to return to hard copy service during this docket, Boise City requests hard
copies of pleading, testimony, and briefs only. All other production requests, response, notices,
Commission orders and other filings may be served on Boise City via electronic mail in accordance
with Rule 63 of the Rules of Procedure of the Idaho Public Utility Commission (IDAPA
31.01.01.063).
3. Boise City is a Municipal Corporation organized under the laws of the state of
Idaho.
4. Boise City has a direct and substantial interest in representing its constituents, who
are customers of Idaho Power Company (“Idaho Power”) and will be impacted by the decisions

electric service accounts. Boise City also maintains multiple solar panel installations and net
metering facilities, such as those located at the Twenty Mile South Farm Administration and
CITY OF BOISE CITY’S PETITION TO INTERVENE - 3
Maintenance Building. Additionally, Boise City is an Idaho Power customer with expressed clean
energy preferences. Without the opportunity to intervene herein, Boise City would not have the
direct means of ensuring the outcome of this proceeding positively impacts the environmental,
health, and economic concerns of Boise City and its citizens. Granting Boise City’s petition to
intervene will not unduly broaden the issues, nor will it prejudice any party to this case.
5. Boise City intends to fully participate in this matter as a party and appear in all
matters as is appropriate. The nature and quality of Boise City’s intervention in this proceeding is
dependent upon the nature and effect of other evidence in this proceeding. If necessary, Boise City
may present evidence; call and examine witnesses; and present argument.
WHEREFORE, the city of Boise City, respectfully requests that this Commission
grant this Petition to Intervene and issue a timely order as set forth in IDAPA 31.01.01.075.
DATED this 30th day of June 2023.
