The Idaho Public Utilities Commission is hosting a technical hearing on Jan. 9 to address Rocky Mountain Power’s application to increase the rates for the electric service it provides to customers.

Technical hearings are held when a utility’s application may be more significant to customers or present complex issues. Parties to a case cross examine witnesses and submit testimony during these hearings, according to a news release from the commission.

Rocky Mountain Power initially applied for commission approval to increase rates for the average residential customer by 17.9%, or about $19.90, in 2025 and an additional 5.3%, or about $6.94, in 2026.

However, Rocky Mountain Power recently filed a proposed settlement in which it agreed to a 16.8% increase to base rates in 2025, with no additional rate increase in 2026. Accounting for a $32.5 million reduction to Rocky Mountain Power’s collection in the Energy Cost Adjustment Mechanism, customers would see their rates increase by about 7.4%.

The commission can approve, deny or modify the proposed settlement.
