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. In this
proceeding, Idaho Power seeks authorization to increase its annual Idaho jurisdictional revenue by
$111,304,981. This amount is net of a corresponding proposed Power Cost Adjustment decrease
of $173.4 million and a reduction to annual Energy Efficiency Rider collection of $3.5 million.
This request would result in an overall increase of 8.61 percent, with a capital structure comprised
of 51 percent equity and 49 percent debt, and a 10.40 percent rate of return on equity. As a large

customer, Idaho Power’s rates for electric service impact Micron’s ability to successfully transact
business within Idaho. Therefore, Micron has a direct and substantial interest in ensuring Idaho
Power rates are just, reasonable, and appropriately allocated among Idaho Power’s customer
classes.
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.
