Idaho industrial power rates to go up

摘要

Boise-The Idaho Public Utilities Commission (IPUC) on May 29 approved a 10.2 percent rate hike for this year, as well as three other rate adjustments, increasing overall rates by an average of 13.5 percent. The other three adjustments include an increase in an Energy Efficiency Rider (2.25 percent), money for the installation of automated meters (1.8 percent), and an annual Fixed Cost Adjustment (1.3 percent). The Industrial Users of Idaho Power, including the J.R. Simplot Co., earlier asked IPUC to defer or spread out a 10.2 percent increase in a Power Cost Adjustment over three years in equal annual installments.
