Item 5.   OTHER EVENTS AND REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.

On August 29, 2002, the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (IPUC) denied Idaho Power Company's (IPC) petition for reconsideration concerning IPC's request to recover $12 million in lost revenue through IPC's Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) filing.  As previously reported, Idaho Power, in October 2001, made the request to include recovery of lost revenues that resulted from a 2001 irrigation load reduction program in IPC's annual PCA filing.  In April, the IPUC authorized recovery of the program's direct costs - mainly the incentive payments to irrigators -but denied IPC's request to collect $12 million in lost revenues.   IPC then petitioned for reconsideration and in May, the IPUC agreed to reconsider the issue.  After reconsideration the IPUC on August 29th again denied recovery.  This amount will be written off in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in the third quarter.  The Company has 42 days to determine if it will file an appeal to the Idaho Supreme Court.
