NEWS RELEASE: Telephonic customer hearing scheduled on proposed asset transfer in eastern
Idaho.

BOISE (Dec. 29, 2023) – The Idaho Public Utilities Commission will hold a telephonic
customer hearing in mid-January to take testimony on a proposed asset transfer between Rocky
Mountain Power and the City of Idaho Falls.

Rocky Mountain Power is seeking approval to transfer electric facilities that are serving a
customer to the city. The asset transfer would occur alongside the transfer of the customer’s
service for two vacant, meterless lots from Rocky Mountain Power to the city. The utility entered
into a service allocation agreement with Idaho Falls to decrease service duplication and increase
stability in their service areas. The allocation agreement permits the transfer of a customer’s
service between the parties if the utility acquiring the customer pays the other just compensation
for lost revenue and distribution facilities used to serve the customer.

The telephonic hearing will be Thursday, Jan. 18, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. It is intended to take
testimony from customers and members of the public. Those interested in submitting testimony
can call 1-415-655-0001 and enter meeting number 2633 606 6814 when prompted. It is
encouraged to start calling in at 1:45 p.m.

The commission is accepting written comments on the proposed transfer until Jan. 25, 2024.
