Settlement precludes need for general rate increase;
seeks adjustment on certain rate schedules
BOISE-In conjunction with settlements involving its larger Idaho customers, Utah
Power has proposed adjustments to three specific rate schedules, eliminating the need for
an increase in general rates for the majority of the company s customers in Idaho.
The settlements, filed with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission June 21 , propose
revisions to rate schedules 10 400 and 401 designed to recover a total of$8.25 million in
additional annual revenue over current rates. The commission must approve the
settlements and the proposed rate schedule revisions before they can take effect.
The revenue change represents a total increase of 5.1 percent. Rate schedule 10 affects
irrigation customers; schedules 400 and 401 are based on special contracts between Utah
Power and two industrial customers, Monsanto and Nu-West, respectively. Copies of the
filings will be available for public review during regular business hours at the
commission offices in Boise and at the company s offices in Rexburg, Preston, Shelley
and Montpelier.
