The Idaho Public Utilities Commission is hosting two online workshops in September to share information on an application from Idaho Power to increase its rates.

According to Idaho Power’s application, it 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 Power residential customer using 950 kilowatt hours per month would see a monthly bill increase of approximately $7.48, according to a press release from the Idaho Public Utilities Commission. The commission can approve, deny or modify the application.

During the virtual workshops, commission staff will share information on the application and answer questions. The workshops will be held on the following dates:
