NEWS RELEASE: Telephonic public hearing scheduled on proposed asset transfer in Valley
County.

BOISE (Dec. 28, 2023) – The Idaho Public Utilities Commission will hold a telephonic public
hearing in early January on a proposed land transfer from
Idaho Power to a private party.

The utility is asking for approval to transfer a 1.2-acre strip of a former Union Pacific Railroad
line while retaining a powerline easement over the land. Idaho
Power is asking to sell the property for $2,000. It said the transfer is intended to relieve the utility
of maintenance costs related to the property without relinquishing
the right to use it for a transmission corridor in the future.

The telephonic public hearing will be held Friday, Jan. 5, at 11:00 a.m. Those interested in
submitting testimony can do so by calling 1-415-655-0001 and
enter meeting number 2634 051 1085 when prompted. It is encouraged to start calling in to the
hearing at about 10:45 a.m.

The public utilities commission is accepting written comments on the proposed transfer until Jan.
18, 2024. Comments are required to be submitted through the
commission’s homepage or by e-mail unless computer access is not available. Comments can be
