IDAHYDRO’S PETITION TO INTERVENE – Page 2
2. This Intervenor IdaHydro is a confederacy of Idaho small hydroelectric producers
joined in a trust for mutual benefit, consisting of approximately 90 MW of capacity produced by
34 small hydroelectric plants. All its members currently sell electric power and energy to Idaho
Power pursuant to multiple contracts and have the potential to sell additional electric power and
energy at other possible cogeneration and small power production locations in Idaho. Therefore,
IdaHydro claims a direct and substantial interest in this proceeding in that the prices it receives
for electrical sales and the costs it pays to Idaho Power may be affected by the outcome of this
proceeding.
3. IdaHydro intends to participate herein as a party and, if necessary, to introduce
evidence, call and examine witnesses, cross-examine witnesses, and be heard in argument. The
nature and quality of evidence that this Intervenor will introduce are dependent upon the nature
and effect of other evidence in this proceeding.
4. Without the opportunity to intervene herein, this Intervenor would be without any
means of participation in this proceeding, which may have a material impact on the prices it
receives for electric sales and the costs it pays to Idaho Power.
WHEREFORE, IdaHydro respectfully requests that this Commission grant its Petition to
Intervene in these proceedings and to appear and participate in all matters as may be necessary
and appropriate and to fully participate in these proceedings.
DATED this 17th day of May 2023.
