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. Micron
also participates in the Idaho Power Integrated Resource Plan Advisory Council. In this
proceeding, Idaho Power seeks an order acknowledging Idaho Power’s 2023 Integrated Resource
Plan (“2023 IRP”). Idaho Power’s 2023 IRP is intended to identify a preferred resource portfolio
that will enable Idaho Power to reliably serve its customers over the 20-year planning period.
Idaho Power’s Preferred Portfolio adds 3,325 megawatts of (“MW”) of solar, 1,800 MW of wind,
1,453 MW of storage, 360 MW of additional energy efficiency, 340 MW of hydrogen, 160 MW
of new demand response, and 30 MW of geothermal. The Preferred Portfolio also includes Idaho
Power’s plans to convert multiple coal-fired generation units to natural gas.
3. As a large customer, the outcome of this proceeding may impact Idaho Power’s
rates for service and ability to reliably serve Micron. Therefore, Micron has a direct and substantial
interest in this proceeding.

4. 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.
5. Granting Micron’s Petition to Intervene will not unduly broaden the issues, nor will
it prejudice any party to this case.
6. Without the opportunity to intervene, Micron would be without adequate means to
participate 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.

Respectfully submitted November 21, 2023.
