Item 8.01 Other Events.

IDACORP, Inc. Sales Agency Agreement

On July 12, 2013, IDACORP, Inc. (“IDACORP”) entered into a Sales Agency Agreement (“Sales Agency Agreement”) with BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC (“BNYMCM”). Under the terms of the Sales Agency Agreement, IDACORP may offer and sell up to 3,000,000 shares of its common stock, without par value (the “Shares”), from time to time through BNYMCM as IDACORP's agent for the offer and sale of the Shares. The Sales Agency Agreement replaces a similar sales agency agreement, dated December 16, 2011, between IDACORP and BNYMCM, that provided for the sale of up to 3,000,000 shares of IDACORP common stock. IDACORP did not sell any shares of its common stock under the December 2011 sales agency agreement.

The Sales Agency Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants of IDACORP, customary conditions to closing and issuance of the Shares, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties, and termination provisions. The Sales Agency Agreement provides that the offering of Shares pursuant to the agreement will terminate upon the earliest of (1) the sale of all shares of IDACORP common stock subject to the Sales Agency Agreement, (2) termination of the Sales Agency Agreement by either BNYMCM or IDACORP, and (3) May 22, 2016. IDACORP has no obligation to sell any of the Shares. A copy of the Sales Agency Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this report. The foregoing description of the Sales Agency Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.

The offering of Shares will be made pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 filed by IDACORP with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (File No. 333-188768), which became effective on May 22, 2013. On July 12, 2013, in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares from time to time, IDACORP filed a prospectus supplement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").

Morgan Securities LLC, KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Mitsubishi UFJ Securities (USA), Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC in connection with the issuance and sale by IPC from time to time of First Mortgage Bonds, Secured Medium-Term Notes, Series J (the "Series J Notes"), to be issued under the Indenture of Mortgage and Deed of Trust, dated as of October 1, 1937, between IPC and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (formerly known as Bankers Trust Company) and R.G. Page, as Trustees (Stanley Burg, successor individual trustee), as supplemented by all indentures supplemental thereto (the "Indenture"). The Selling Agency Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants of IPC, customary conditions to closing, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties and termination provisions. IPC has no obligation to sell any minimum principal amount of Series J Notes under the Selling Agency Agreement, and may issue up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000 of Series J Notes under the Selling Agency Agreement. The Selling Agency Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.2 to this report. The foregoing description of the Selling Agency Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.
