NEWS RELEASE: Written comments are being accepted on Idaho Power application to make
changes to flex peak program.

BOISE (Jan. 3, 2024) – The Idaho Public Utilities Commission is accepting written comments
until late January on an Idaho Power application to make changes to its
Schedule 82 – Flex Peak Program.

This voluntary demand response program offers industrial and large commercial customers an
opportunity to reduce their electrical loads for short periods during the summer. The flex
peak program reduces generation and transmission requirements to serve customers on days
when the utility’s system’s capacity could be constrained. Industrial and commercial
customers that participate are offered incentive payments.

Idaho Power submitted an application to modify certain payment structures, add a waiver
provision covering participating customers whose load control device fails, revise the
definition of “day of” load adjustment, establish an option to extend the four-hour notification
limit for certain customers and add definitions for certain terms along with other minor
updates related to the other proposed changes.

The commission is accepting written comments until Jan. 25, 2024. Comments are required to be
filed through the commission’s website or by e-mail unless computer access is not
