The company’s request is filed with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission, or IPUC. It is the regulatory body charged under state law with reviewing and deciding the merits of our company’s position.
 
The filing launches a detailed regulatory process similar to a legal proceeding. Interested parties petition the IPUC to “intervene” or become a formal party to the case. Interveners submit testimony and rebuttals. Historically, the IPUC has held public meetings on such requests.
 
The process includes formal hearings, held in a courtroom-like setting, that are open to the public.
