Item 2. PROPERTIES

Idaho Power's properties consist of the physical assets necessary to support its utility operations, which include generation and battery storage, transmission, and distribution facilities. In addition to these physical assets, Idaho Power has rights-of-way and water rights that enable it to use its facilities. Idaho Power’s system is composed of 17 hydropower generating plants located in southern Idaho and eastern Oregon, three natural gas-fired plants in southern Idaho, and interests in two coal-fired steam electric generating plants located in Wyoming and Nevada. As of December 31, 2023, the system also includes approximately 4,762 linear miles of high-voltage transmission lines, 23 step-up transmission substations located at power plants, 21 transmission substations, 11 switching stations, 30 mixed-use transmission and distribution substations, 186 energized distribution substations (excluding mobile substations and dispatch centers), approximately 29,714 linear miles of distribution lines, and 131 MW of battery storage.

IDACORP's and Idaho Power's headquarters are located in Boise, Idaho. The corporate headquarters campus consists of approximately 305,741 square feet of owned office space. Excluding Idaho Power's power generation facilities and substations, Idaho Power owns an additional 1,218,813 square feet of office, warehouse, and industrial space to support its operations in Idaho and Oregon.

Idaho Power owns all of its interests in principal plants and other important units of real property, except for portions of certain projects licensed under the FPA and reservoirs and other easements. Substantially all of Idaho Power’s property is subject to the lien of its Mortgage and Deed of Trust and the provisions of its project licenses. Idaho Power’s property is subject to minor defects common to properties of such size and character that it believes do not materially impair the value to, or the use by, Idaho Power of such properties. Idaho Power considers its properties to be well-maintained and in good operating condition.
