Forward-Looking Statements This presentation (and oral statements relating to this presentation) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements, other than statements of historical facts, that express, are based on, or involve discussions of expectations, beliefs, plans, estimates, objectives, outlooks, assumptions, or future events or performance are forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve estimates, assumptions, risks, and uncertainties that may differ materially from actual results, performance, or outcomes. Risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements are listed in IDACORP, Inc.'s and Idaho Power Company's most recently filed periodic reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, including (but not limited to) Part I, Item 1A -“Risk Factors” and “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and other reports the companies file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Risks and uncertainties include the following, among others: • decisions by state and federal regulators affecting Idaho Power's ability to recover its costs and earn a return on its capital investment; • changes to or elimination of Idaho Power’s regulatory cost recovery mechanisms; • impacts of economic conditions, including an inflationary or recessionary environment and increasing interest rates, on items such as operations and capital investments and changes in customer demand; • ability to timely construct, and expenses and risks of capital expenditures for, utility infrastructure, including the impacts of inflation, price volatility, and supply chain constraints; • risks of operating an electric utility system, including compliance with regulatory obligations and liability for outages and personal injury or property damage; • power demand exceeding supply, and the rapid addition of new industrial and commercial customer load and the volatility of such new load demand, resulting in increased costs for purchasing energy and capacity in the market; • ability to acquire fuel, power, and transmission capacity at reasonable prices and under reasonable terms; • impacts of future governmental regulation and inability to timely obtain, and the cost of obtaining and complying with, government permits and approvals; • ability to obtain debt and equity financing when necessary and on reasonable terms; and • ability to continue to pay dividends and achieve target-payout ratios, and contractual and regulatory restrictions on those dividends. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the company to predict all such factors, nor can it assess the impact of any such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. IDACORP and Idaho Power disclaim any obligation to update publicly any forward-looking information, whether in response to new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

Idaho Power’s most recent rate cases in its jurisdictions in 2011 provided for a return on a rate base of $2.8 billion, which included the Langley Gulch power plant completed in 2012. The 2011 original amounts are adjusted in this graphic over time to reflect the ultimate decline in net rate base of coal-related assets. Coal related rate base for the North Valmy and Jim Bridger plants will be fully collected by the end of 2028 and 2030, respectively, through separate regulatory orders. Rate base related to the Boardman coal-fired plant was fully collected by the end of 2020, when the plant was retired. (2) Hells Canyon Complex (HCC) relicensing costs becoming eligible for rate base is subject to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s granting of a new operating license, which Idaho Power believes will occur in 2024 or thereafter. Estimated to be $295M of rate base in 2024 for illustration purposes herein.
