NEWS RELEASE: Customer hearings scheduled on Idaho Power application to change on-site
and self-generation tariffs

BOISE (Oct. 12, 2023) – The Idaho Public Utilities Commission will host customer hearings in
Boise and Twin Falls to take testimony on an Idaho Power application to make changes to on-
site and self-generation tariffs.

The utility is seeking approval from the commission to allow real-time net billing with an
avoided cost-based financial credit rate for exported energy, a methodology for determining
annual updates to the export credit rate, a modified project eligibility cap for commercial,
industrial, and irrigation customers, related changes to the accounting for and transferability of
excess net energy financial credits and updated tariff schedules needed to administer the
modified on-site generation offering.
