On April 13, Idaho Power submitted its annual Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) proposal for approval by the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (IPUC). The PCA, an annual filing in place since 1992, is a cost recovery mechanism that passes on both the benefits and costs of supplying energy to Idaho Power customers.
The federal Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA) requires Idaho Power to purchase power from certain renewable-energy projects, often at prices higher than what we would pay to generate the power at our own facilities or buy it on the open market. These projects, or qualifying facilities (QFs), have a significant and growing impact on the PCA that results in higher costs to customers.
