Idaho Power Co. is asking state regulators to allow it to charge builders and developers more for new service attachments and distribution line installations and to reduce or eliminate refunds the builders get as new developments hook on to the expanded facilities.
The company said the proposed modifications to those charges, called the Rule H Tariff, would better meet a goal of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission and the company to require growth to pay for itself. It would shift installation costs from the general body of ratepayers to new customers requesting construction for the services.
The commission has established a Dec. 10 deadline for interested parties to file as intervenors. Those who do not want to intervene can still provide written comment.
