The Idaho Public Utilities Commission is hosting customer hearings in early December to hear testimony on an application from Idaho Power to change its rates.
According to the Idaho Power application, the company is focused on recovering costs associated with infrastructure investments and labor expenses that were not included in the company’s last rate case. If the commission approves the request, the average Idaho residential customer using 950 kilowatt hours per month would see a monthly bill increase of approximately $7.48.
The commission can approve, deny or modify the application.
In-person attendance is required to submit testimony. Customers interested in offering testimony can do so by attending the following hearings:
When: 4 p.m. Dec. 2
Where: American Legion Hall, 447 Seastrom St., Twin Falls
When: 4 p.m. Dec. 3
