Idaho Power Company Selling Agency Agreement and Supplemental Indenture

On September 27, 2016, Idaho Power Company ("IPC") entered into a Selling Agency Agreement (the “Selling Agency Agreement”) with each of BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, MUFG Securities Americas Inc., 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 K (the "Series K 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), 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 K Notes under the Selling Agency Agreement, and may issue up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000 of Series K Notes under the Selling Agency Agreement. The Selling Agency Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 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.

On September 27, 2016, in connection with the offer and sale of the Series K Notes from time to time pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 filed by IPC with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (File No. 333-211475-01), which became effective on May 20, 2016, IPC filed a prospectus supplement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1933.

Effective as of September 1, 2016, IPC entered into the Forty-eighth Supplemental Indenture, to the Indenture. The Forty-eighth Supplemental Indenture provides for, among other items, the issuance of Series K Notes pursuant to the Indenture, and the increase of the maximum amount of obligations to be secured by the Indenture to $2.5 billion (which maximum amount may be further increased or decreased by IPC without consent of the holders of first mortgage bonds).

A copy of the Forty-eighth Supplemental Indenture is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this report.
