NEWS RELEASE: Commission schedules telephonic hearing on application to approve lease
agreement between Rocky Mountain Power, New Cingular Wireless

BOISE (April 21, 2021) – The Idaho Public Utilities Commission will host a telephonic
customer hearing on Monday, April 26, to take verbal testimony on an application from Rocky
Mountain Power to approve a lease agreement with New Cingular Wireless PSC, LLC.

The telephonic customer hearing will be held at 1:30 p.m. MDT on Monday, April 26. The
hearing is intended to take testimony from customers, public officials, and others not related to
parties in the case. To participate, those interested can call 1-415-655-0001 shortly before or at
the designated time, and enter meeting number 133 992 2574 when prompted.

If approved, the lease would allow Cingular Wireless to attach small cell wireless facilities on
Rocky Mountain Power’s street light poles. The lease is for a ten-year term, with automatic one-
year renewals until either party terminates it. The lease calls for New Cingular Wireless to
submit applications to Rocky Mountain Power to use individual street poles, and Rocky
Mountain will grant or deny each application.

In addition, non-metered service may be provided to New Cingular under Rocky Mountain’s
Electric Service Regulation No. 4. Alternatively, Rocky Mountain may provide metered service.
