Process for Determining Director Nominees
Process for Determining Director Nominees In determining the composition of our board of directors, we seek a balanced mix of local experience, which we believe is specifically relevant for a utility, and national or public company experience, among other factors. As a utility company with operations predominantly in Idaho and Oregon, we believe it is important for our company and our local directors to be involved in and otherwise support local community and charitable organizations. Our corporate governance and nominating committee is responsible for selecting and recommending to the board of directors candidates for election as directors, including Ms. Miller. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines contain procedures for the committee to identify and evaluate new director nominees, including candidates our shareholders recommend in compliance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines. The corporate governance and nominating committee begins the process of identifying and evaluating potential nominees for director positions by taking into consideration the results of the annual director questionnaires and self-evaluation process described above while keeping the full board of directors informed of the nominating process. The corporate governance and nominating committee reviews candidates recommended by shareholders and may hire a search firm to identify other candidates. The corporate governance and nominating committee gathers additional information on the candidates to determine if they qualify to be members of our board of directors. The corporate governance and nominating committee examines whether the candidates are independent, whether their election would violate any federal or state laws, rules, or regulations that apply to us, and whether they meet all requirements under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, committee charters, bylaws, codes of business conduct and ethics, and any other applicable corporate document or policy. The corporate governance and nominating committee also considers whether the nominees will have potential conflicts of interest, and whether they will represent a single or special interest, before finalizing a list of candidates for the full board of directors to consider for nomination.
PROPOSAL NO. 1: Election of Directors
PROPOSAL NO. 1: Election of Directors Our first proposal pertains to the election of our directors. After the Annual Meeting and upon election of the proposed director nominees, the board of directors will consist of ten members. Upon the recommendation of our corporate governance and nominating committee, our board of directors has nominated the ten individuals listed below to serve as directors. Each of the ten nominees served as a member of our board of directors during 2025, except for Ms. Miller. The nominees consist of nine independent directors, as defined by the rules of the NYSE, and Lisa A. Grow, our current president and CEO. Each director’s term runs from the date of his or her election until our next annual meeting of shareholders or until his or her successor (if any) is elected or appointed. While we expect that all of the nominees will be able to qualify for and accept office, if for any reason one or more should be unable or unwilling to do so, the individuals named as proxies may vote for a substitute nominee chosen by the present board of directors to fill the vacancy. Alternatively, the board of directors could decide to reduce the size of the board, or the proxies could be voted for the remaining nominees, leaving a vacancy on the board. Under the resignation policy adopted by the board of directors and included in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, if a director nominee in an uncontested election receives a greater number of votes “withheld” from his or her election than votes “for” such election, the director must promptly tender his or her resignation to the board of directors. The board of directors will then decide whether to accept the tendered resignation within 90 days following certification of the shareholder vote (based on the recommendation of the corporate governance and nominating committee, which is comprised exclusively of independent directors). In accordance with our policy, we will publicly disclose the board of directors’ decision and its reasoning with regard to the offered resignation. There are no family relationships among any director, director nominee, or executive officer. The composition of our board of directors is identical to the composition of Idaho Power’s board of directors.

Director Compensation
Director Compensation We structure director compensation to attract and retain qualified non-employee directors and to further align the interests of our directors with the interests of our shareholders. The compensation and human resources committee periodically reviews surveys of non-employee director compensation trends and a competitive analysis of peer company practices prepared by the independent compensation consultant (Pay Governance) and our Human Resources team. The compensation and human resources committee then makes recommendations to the board of directors on compensation for our non-employee directors, including their board and committee retainers and annual equity awards. There were no changes to director compensation for 2025 as compared to 2024. The table that follows describes the compensation earned during 2025 by each individual who served as a director during 2025.

Director Compensation
1 Directors are paid cash fees on a monthly basis during their service on the board of directors. Ms. Elg was paid $8,000 in excess of the amounts due during 2025 due to clerical error. That amount is not included in this column and will be deducted from 2026 fees. 2 This column reflects the grant date fair value of IDACORP common stock awarded to our non-employee directors measured in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 – Stock Compensation (FASB ASC Topic 718). The grant date fair value is based on the closing price of IDACORP common stock on the business day before the grant date. The grant date fair value for the awards included in this column for all non-employee directors except Mr. Kennedy is based on the closing price of IDACORP common stock on February 28, 2025, which was $117.91. The award for Mr. Kennedy is based on the closing price of IDACORP common stock on May 30, 2025, which was $118.95. 3 Employee directors do not receive fees or awards for service as a member of our board of directors. Ms. Grow's compensation as an executive officer is discussed in Part 4 – “Executive Compensation” in this proxy statement. 4 Mr. Jibson and Mr. Navarro concluded their respective service as directors on May 15, 2025, and Ms. Johansen concluded her service as director on December 31, 2025. Mr. Madison and Mr. Kennedy began their service as directors in February and May 2025, respectively. The table that follows lists the forms and amounts of compensation payable to our non-employee directors for 2025. All directors of IDACORP also serve as directors of Idaho Power. The fees and other compensation shown in the table and discussed below are for service on both boards as well as for service on any subsidiary board. Employee directors receive no compensation for service on the boards.

2025 Compensation
2025 Compensation Base Salaries. Based on our continued strong financial and operational results, an analysis of market median compensation of our peers and performance in their respective positions, and the company’s intention to promote executive retention, our NEOs in 2025 received increases in base salaries ranging between 4.1 percent and 8.1 percent compared to their salaries as of year-end 2024. Incentive Compensation. For 2025, the award opportunities as a percentage of base salary under our short-term incentive plan for Mr. Buckham and Mr. Richins increased from 60 percent to 65 percent and remained unchanged for our other NEOs. The 2025 combined performance results for the three annual performance goals under our short-term incentive plan resulted in a payout of approximately 170 percent of target, reflective of record adjusted net income and strong service reliability performance. The performance-based restricted stock units granted in February 2023 under the long-term incentive plan for the 2023-2025 performance period were earned at an overall 163 percent of target, based on strong cumulative earnings per share from three years of record earnings along with our relative TSR above target at the 64th percentile. For the awards granted in 2025 under our long-term incentive plan, the award opportunities as a percentage of base salary remained unchanged for our NEOs as compared to 2024. The compensation and human resources committee increased the CEPS goals at all levels of achievement and maintained the relative TSR goals at 2024 levels.

Market Compensation Data and Analysis
Market Compensation Data and Analysis We believe that market compensation information is important because it provides an indication of the levels of compensation that enable us to remain competitive with other companies in attracting and retaining executive officers. In determining the composition of our peer groups, we consider the following factors: •Breadth - include companies that are philosophically relevant; •Nature and complexity of the business - take into account each company’s portfolio and markets and seek companies that derive a significant portion of revenues from regulated operations; •Scope - reflect an appropriate range of revenues and market capitalization; •Ease of administration - ensure availability of valid and reliable data (e.g., SEC filings); and •Size - include a sufficient number of companies to provide robust data and mitigate volatility. We use the market compensation analysis to determine a market compensation range for each of our executive officers for base salary, short-term incentive compensation, and long-term incentive compensation, and for combinations of these three elements, based on compensation provided to officers in similar positions at our designated groups of companies. For setting 2025 compensation, as in prior years, the compensation and human resources committee reviewed survey data for three separate sets of companies, described below, for each executive officer (where data was available). It then assessed each element of compensation, and the total target direct compensation, for each of our executive officers compared to the targeted range (85 percent to 115 percent) of the market median. The two sources of market compensation data used to prepare the market compensation analysis for our 2025 executive officer compensation were: 1.Public Data Source. 2024 public proxy statement compensation data from a designated peer group of companies, listed below (Peer Group). Our management, the compensation and human resources committee, and the committee's compensation consultant worked together to develop the Peer Group, which was then approved by the committee. The companies in the Peer Group used for our survey and public proxy data for purposes of establishing 2025 compensation remained unchanged as compared to 2024 and consisted of the following:
Market Compensation Data and Analysis
| Peer Group | Comprised of comparable utilities, as determined by the compensation and human resources committee; these are the same companies we use for the public survey data source, listed above | | IOU Survey Data | Comprised of all participating investor-owned utilities, regressed to $2.3 billion in annual revenues | | General Industry Survey Data | Comprised of all participating general industry companies in “The General Industry Executive Compensation Survey Report - U.S.,” regressed to $2.3 billion in annual revenues |
Market Compensation Data and Analysis
Our annual revenues were approximately $1.8 billion in 2025. We used the $2.3 billion annual revenue figure for our market compensation comparisons to provide a reasonably comparable revenue scope to the broader industry. The $2.3 billion annual revenue figure is intended to reflect what Idaho Power’s annual revenues would be if Idaho Power charged average customer electricity rates. In May 2024, our analysis showed that average U.S. retail electricity rates over the 2021-2023 period were 43 percent higher than Idaho Power’s average retail electricity rates over the same period. We added the same 43 percent differential to our average annual revenues over the 2021-2023 period to establish comparable Idaho Power revenues at approximately $2.3 billion. To determine average U.S. electricity rates, we used the “EEI Typical Bills and Average Rates Report - Select American Cities.” The committee’s primary market reference for executive compensation was the Peer Group set forth above comprised of comparable utilities to the company in terms of industry, operational complexity, and business profile. This Peer Group was approved by the committee and was also the basis for the company’s primary private compensation survey data. The committee placed primary reliance on this Peer Group because the associated survey data provided broader participation, more detailed role specific information, and greater consistency across pay elements than publicly disclosed proxy data alone. In addition to the Peer Group, the committee reviewed compensation survey data from a broader group of participating investor owned utilities. This IOU survey group was used as an additional market reference point and was statistically regressed to approximately $2.3 billion in annual revenues to better align with the company’s size. This data provided general context regarding compensation practices across the investor owned utility industry but was not used as the primary basis alone for setting executive compensation. The committee also reviewed the general industry survey data and publicly available executive compensation information disclosed in 2024 proxy statements filed by companies in the designated peer group. Because this information is less specific and detailed than the Peer Group survey and the IOU survey data, this information was used as a secondary data source to provide general confirmation that compensation levels for the NEOs were within a reasonable range of market practices. General industry survey data and public proxy data was not used in isolation and did not replace the committee’s primary reliance on peer group survey data and informed judgment. An individual executive officer’s compensation may be positioned above or below the targeted range (85 percent to 115 percent) of the market median for his or her position, depending on his or her level of experience, responsibility, and performance, and based on the degree of comparability between our executive officer’s role and the roles of persons with similar positions at the peer companies, along with internal equity and succession planning considerations. The compensation and human resources committee uses its experience and judgment and our CEO’s feedback on executive officer performance in assessing these factors in determining how an executive officer's compensation should align relative to the market level.
Review of Total Compensation Structure and Internal Pay Ratios
Review of Total Compensation Structure and Internal Pay Ratios Each year, the compensation and human resources committee reviews the total compensation structure for each NEO, including the elements and mix of compensation, levels of historic compensation, potential termination and retirement benefits, internal equity, and IDACORP stock ownership, to determine whether it should adjust an executive officer’s total target direct compensation. Based on these reviews, the compensation and human resources committee made no changes to the general structure of our compensation programs or to the forms of compensation payable to our executive officers for 2025, though it did make some adjustments to individual compensation amounts, as described in this CD&A. In making this determination, the compensation and human resources committee relied on its experience and judgment.
Short-Term Incentive Compensation
Short-Term Incentive Compensation Short-term incentive compensation under our Executive Incentive Plan is determined by performance relative to annual performance goals and is intended to encourage and reward annual financial and operational results. We provide participants in the Executive Incentive Plan the opportunity to earn cash-based short-term incentives in order to be competitive from a total compensation standpoint and to ensure focus on annual financial, operational, and customer service goals. The compensation and human resources committee regularly assesses the best metrics to be used in the incentive programs. For 2025, the compensation and human resources committee maintained two of the four metrics from 2024, revised one metric, and discontinued one metric. Preservation of accumulated deferred investment tax credits, or ADITCs, was not continued as a metric for 2025 because it was not expected to be a meaningful goal under the financial performance scenarios considered at the time the goals were adopted. The committee revised the net income metric for 2025 to an adjusted net income metric (as described below) to allow for the exclusion of the impact of certain non-recurring, extraordinary, or unusual events not indicative of our operating performance and align the metric more closely with the results of our ongoing operations. The committee adopted the following short-term incentive goal structure for 2025: •Customer Satisfaction (15 percent weighting) - The customer satisfaction goal focuses on our relationship with and service to our customers. We measure customer satisfaction through quarterly surveys conducted by an independent survey firm. The survey data covered five specific performance qualities: overall satisfaction, quality, value, advocacy, and loyalty. In 2025, we began to include web-based customer survey results, in addition to telephone survey results, in the customer satisfaction metric. •Service Reliability (15 percent weighting) - The service reliability goal is intended to focus executive officers on Idaho Power’s system reliability and its impact on the company’s relationship with its customers. We measure this goal by the number of interruptions greater than five minutes in duration experienced on average by Idaho Power’s metered general customers over the course of the year. •Adjusted Net Income (70 percent weighting) - Our compensation and human resources committee believes that the IDACORP adjusted net income goal provides the most important overall measure of our financial performance, and thus the compensation and human resources committee gave it the greatest weighting. This goal aligns management and shareholder interests by motivating our executive officers to increase earnings for the benefit of shareholders. The table below shows the specific 2025 threshold, target, and maximum performance levels for each short-term incentive performance goal and the qualifying payout multiplier for each target. For 2025, consistent with prior years, the compensation and human resources committee evaluated our financial forecast and budgets, and from that review established a target for adjusted net income. We use linear interpolation for achievement within the performance levels specified. The table also shows the actual 2025 performance results for all three performance goals, resulting in a payout of approximately 170 percent of target. The Executive Incentive Plan under which the short-term awards are made to executives does not permit the payment of awards if there is no payment of awards under the Employee Incentive Plan (which uses the same metrics and performance levels, with different weightings) or if IDACORP does not have net income sufficient to pay dividends on its common stock. Neither of these restrictions applied for 2025.

Short-Term Incentive Compensation
The table that follows shows the 2025 short-term incentive award opportunities for the NEOs recommended by the compensation and human resources committee and approved by the board of directors, which increased for Mr. Richins and Mr. Buckham to 65 percent from 60 percent in 2024, as a percentage of base salary, and remained unchanged for our other NEOs, as well as the 2025 short-term incentive awards earned by our NEOs based on actual performance results for 2025. The short-term cash incentive award opportunities are calculated by multiplying base salary by the product of the approved incentive percentage and the qualifying multiplier for each goal. The amounts earned are based on actual base salary paid in 2025.

Short-Term Incentive Compensation
1 The percentage shown represents the percent of base salary to be awarded, assuming achievement of the relevant performance level. Financial Performance Goal: The compensation and human resources committee set the target level for the IDACORP adjusted net income goal for 2025 at $308 million. Factors that influenced the committee’s determination of the appropriate target level included increased depreciation and interest expense from continued elevated capital expenditures for infrastructure development; the net impact of the 2024 Idaho limited-scope rate case (2024 Limited-Issue Rate Case) and continued regulatory lag; higher operations and maintenance expenses, particularly from labor cost increases; and the revenue impacts of customer growth and normalized weather conditions. Capital expenditures for 2025 continued to be significantly elevated as compared to years before 2024, and the regulatory lag associated with delayed collection on the depreciation and financing costs on those assets through customer rates was a notable factor for consideration. To that end, the compensation and human resources committee’s review included our financial forecast and a detailed earnings sensitivity analysis prepared by management, which provided the committee with insight on those and other anticipated positive and negative drivers of financial performance on an income-statement basis. Notwithstanding considerable regulatory lag resulting from the 2024 Limited-Issue Rate Case and increased capital expenditures, to further drive positive performance the committee established the target of the adjusted net income metric approximately $19 million above our 2024 actual net income, representing a substantial increase. As used in the adjusted net income goal, “adjusted net income” means net income as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, adjusted by the compensation and human resources committee to exclude the impact of non-recurring, extraordinary, or unusual events to the extent they or their respective impacts or outcomes were unrelated to management’s actions, not contemplated at the time the goal was established, and inconsistent with the original intent and objectives of the award. These include financial impacts related to acquisition, divestiture, and restructuring activities; changes in accounting principles; enactment of new federal or state laws; or impairment charges. In determining actual performance under the adjusted net income goal in 2025, the committee did not make any adjustments from net income as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Operational Performance Goals: In an effort to incentivize rigorous and realistic achievement levels, the compensation and human resources committee set the target for the customer satisfaction goal for 2025 at 83.00 percent. In setting the goal for 2025, the committee considered a variety of factors, including the company’s transition in 2025 to include web-based customer survey results, which generally are lower than telephone-only survey results, in the customer service metric and challenges from continuing rate cases. The committee set the target for the service reliability goal for 2025 at 1.25 outage incidents. To set the goal, the committee considered the impacts of high-outage events from extreme weather conditions and other factors on service reliability. In setting the goal for 2025, the committee sought a goal realistic enough to be attainable while incentivizing continued outstanding service reliability, with the target set at a level requiring service reliability above the average level of a comparison group of other peer utilities.
Long-Term Incentive Compensation
Long-Term Incentive Compensation Long-term incentive compensation is intended to encourage and reward long-term performance, provide a multi-year retention mechanism, and enhance the alignment between management and shareholders. We grant executive officers the opportunity to earn stock-based long-term compensation in order to be competitive from a total compensation standpoint, to ensure focus on long-term financial goals, to recognize future performance, to promote retention, and to maximize shareholder value by aligning our executive officers’ interests with shareholder interests. Our 2025 long-term incentive awards were allocated as follows: •time-vesting restricted stock units, eligible to vest in January 2028, representing one-third of the awards; and •performance-based restricted stock units with a three-year performance period of 2025-2027, representing two-thirds of the awards at target. Consistent with our historical practice, the compensation and human resources committee recommended, and the board of directors approved, the 2025 long-term incentive grants at their February 2025 meetings, which approval became effective after we released our 2024 full-year earnings. Following is a more detailed description of the time-vesting restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units that comprise the long-term incentive grants. Time-Vesting Restricted Stock Units: The time-vesting restricted stock unit awards made to our NEOs in 2025 will vest in January 2028, as long as the NEO remains employed by us throughout the restriction period. Earned awards are settled in shares. The NEOs receive dividend equivalents on the units during the restriction period, since the officer is assured of vesting in the units as long as he or she remains employed by the company. We believe that the restricted stock units and dividend equivalent payments provide a strong incentive for the officer to continue working for us for the entire three-year restriction period. Because the restricted stock units are intended to serve as a retention tool, the compensation and human resources committee decided to use cliff vesting, rather than ratable vesting. However, if the NEO's employment terminates before the vesting date, subject to board of director approval, the officer may receive a pro-rated payout, depending on the reason for or circumstances surrounding the termination, such as for retirement at age 55 or older. Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units: Performance-based restricted stock units are based entirely on our financial performance over a three-year performance period and may be earned up to 200 percent of target but will not be earned if our minimum financial performance goals are not met at the end of the performance period. Earned awards are settled in shares. Dividend equivalents on the performance-based restricted stock units are not paid to our NEOs during the performance period. Instead, they are paid at the end of the performance period only on performance-based restricted stock units that are actually earned, if any. The performance-based restricted stock units granted in February 2025 may be earned by the NEOs based on performance against two financial measures over the 2025-2027 performance period. The two equally weighted performance measures are CEPS and TSR. The CEPS levels are indicative of management performance, as this goal relates to revenue enhancement and cost containment. Relative TSR is determined by our common stock price change and dividends paid over a three-year performance period compared to that achieved by a comparison group of companies over the same three-year period. As in prior years, for 2025 grants, we used the EEI Utilities Index as the TSR comparison group. We compare our TSR with these companies' TSRs on a percentile basis. The CEPS performance levels for the 2025-2027 performance period are as follows:
Long-Term Incentive Compensation
| -Threshold: | $15.00 | | -Target: | $16.00 | | -Maximum: | $17.00 |
Long-Term Incentive Compensation
The TSR performance levels for the 2025-2027 performance period are as follows:
Long-Term Incentive Compensation
| -Threshold: | 30th percentile | | -Target: | 55th percentile | | -Maximum: | 90th percentile |
Long-Term Incentive Compensation
The table that follows shows the long-term incentive award opportunities recommended by the compensation and human resources committee and approved by our board of directors for 2025 for each NEO. We use linear interpolation for achievement within the levels specified.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation
As with base salary and short-term incentive opportunities, the compensation and human resources committee established the 2025 long-term incentive opportunities based on its review of the market compensation analysis and individual executive officer experience and tenure and both individual and company performance. Following its review, the compensation and human resources committee maintained the 2025 target long-term incentive award opportunities as a percentage of base salary at the same levels as 2024. In making its decisions, the compensation and human resources committee considered each individual’s accomplishments, as reflected in their annual performance evaluations, market compensation levels, and retention. Payment of Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units for 2023-2025 Performance Period The performance-based restricted stock units granted in February 2023 for the 2023-2025 performance period were earned at an overall 163 percent of target, consisting of 200 percent of target for the CEPS goal based on our CEPS of $16.54 and 126 percent payout for the relative TSR goal based on our relative TSR level of the 64th percentile. The table that follows lists (1) the target performance-based restricted stock unit awards granted in 2023, (2) the shares actually earned, and (3) the dividend equivalent payments earned.

Role of Our Compensation and Human Resources Committee, Management, and Compensation Consultant
Role of Our Compensation and Human Resources Committee, Management, and Compensation Consultant The compensation and human resources committee is responsible for overseeing executive compensation and making recommendations to the board of directors for establishing appropriate salary and incentive compensation for our executive officers, including our NEOs, in accordance with our compensation philosophy, while also aligning our executives’ interests with company and business unit performance, business strategies and initiatives, and drivers for growth in shareholder value. The compensation and human resources committee is further responsible for administering our compensation plans in a manner consistent with these objectives. In this process, the compensation and human resources committee evaluates information provided by its independent compensation consultant and our management team, as discussed below. During 2025, the compensation and human resources committee engaged the services of Pay Governance LLC (Pay Governance) as the compensation and human resources committee’s independent compensation consultant. The compensation and human resources committee reviews the mix and level of compensation by each component individually and in the aggregate. The compensation and human resources committee also reviews all elements of officer remuneration, including accumulated pension benefits and change-in-control agreements. The compensation and human resources committee and board of directors are responsible for establishing the compensation of the NEOs. Neither the CEO nor any other NEO makes recommendations for setting his or her own compensation. The recommendation of the CEO’s compensation is determined in compensation and human resources committee meetings during an executive session and is presented to the independent members of our board of directors for review and approval. Annually, the compensation and human resources committee also reviews the goals and targets of executive incentive compensation programs with a focus on setting challenging, but realistic, targets to drive performance and to improve shareholder value over the long term. The CEO, with guidance from our Human Resources department, typically makes recommendations to the compensation and human resources committee with respect to the compensation of the other NEOs and the other company officers and senior managers. The CEO possesses insight regarding individual performance, experience, future promotion potential, and intentions in retaining particular senior executives. The CEO presents his or her recommendations to the compensation and human resources committee for review. However, the compensation and human resources committee may modify or disregard the CEO’s recommendations. Pay Governance, as discussed below, regularly provides market-level commentary and observations regarding compensation adjustments to the compensation and human resources committee. Management and the compensation and human resources committee also monitor succession plans as described below under “Executive Succession Planning.” The compensation and human resources committee also engaged Pay Governance to provide independent advice with respect to executive and director compensation and corporate governance matters related to executive compensation. The compensation and human resources committee relied on Pay Governance’s expertise in benchmarking and familiarity with competitive compensation practices in the utility and general industry sectors. In addition, the compensation and human resources committee regularly requested advice from Pay Governance concerning the design, communication, and implementation of our incentive compensation plans and other programs. In 2025, the compensation and human resources committee elected to meet with Pay Governance without management (including the CEO) present in an executive session after some of the regularly scheduled compensation and human resources committee meetings. The services provided by Pay Governance to the compensation and human resources committee in 2025 included: •Review of our compensation philosophy, including the alignment of our executive compensation practices with our compensation philosophy and assessing potential changes to address trends in market practice and shareholder expectations; •Review of our peer groups used for compensation benchmarking purposes for executives and directors; •Participation in discussions with management and the compensation and human resources committee when incentive goals were assessed and set, including: ◦Evaluation of our historical, recent, and projected performance; and ◦Analysis of historical and projected peer data and trends; •Analysis of competitive compensation practices for executives and directors within our peer groups; •Review of all aspects of our short-term and long-term incentive plan designs, including measures, weightings, leverage, and equity mix; •Review of change-in-control benefits to help ensure alignment with our compensation philosophy and competitive practice; and •Preparation for and attendance at all compensation and human resources committee meetings, including executive sessions, if applicable and as requested. The compensation and human resources committee has considered the independence of Pay Governance, as required by SEC and NYSE rules and requirements. The compensation and human resources committee obtained and considered representations from Pay Governance that they were an independent consultant and that there were no conflicts of interest. The compensation and human resources committee also considered and assessed relevant factors that could give rise to a potential conflict of interest with respect to Pay Governance and their work. Based on this review, the compensation and human resources committee is not aware of any conflict of interest that has been raised by the work performed by Pay Governance.
Change in Control Agreements
Change in Control Agreements We have change in control agreements with all of our executive officers. The compensation and human resources committee believes that change in control agreements are an important benefit to promote officer retention during periods of uncertainty around acquisitions and to motivate officers to weigh acquisition proposals in a balanced manner for the benefit of shareholders, rather than resisting such proposals for the purpose of job preservation. The agreements we have with our NEOs are “double-trigger” agreements in the sense that two events must occur in order for full cash severance payments to be made: a change in control and a termination of employment in connection with the change in control. However, for Ms. Grow and Mr. Malmen, who entered into their agreements prior to March 2010 when we added the “double-trigger” provision to our form of change in control agreement, if a change in control occurs and the officer is not terminated, the agreements permit the officer to terminate employment for any reason during the first month following the one-year anniversary of the change in control and receive a lesser severance payout. The prior provision was historically included because the first year after a change in control is a critical transition period, and the 13th-month trigger serves as an important tool to encourage our executive officers to remain with the company or our successor for at least that transition period. We discuss the other material terms of our change in control agreements later in this proxy statement in the section entitled “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”

2025 Summary Compensation Table
1 Amounts in this column represent the aggregate grant date fair value of the time-vesting restricted stock units and the performance-based restricted stock units (at target) granted in each of the years shown and calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. Consistent with FASB ASC Topic 718, the full grant date fair value for the market-related TSR component of the performance-based restricted stock units for the entire three-year performance cycle is included in the amounts shown for the year of grant and was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The column was prepared assuming none of the awards will be forfeited. Additional information on the assumptions used to determine the fair value of the awards is contained in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, on file with the SEC. The table below shows the grant date fair values of the CEPS component of the performance-based restricted stock unit awards granted in 2025, assuming that the highest level of performance conditions are achieved for the awards. The TSR component is a market-based award with probability of payout incorporated in the grant date fair value. Compensation cost recorded by the company over the life of the grant for the TSR award is unaffected by the performance factor ultimately achieved.

2025 Summary Compensation Table
2 Values shown represent the change in actuarial present value of the accumulated benefit under the pension plan and the Senior Management Security Plans. Assumptions included a discount rate of 5.10% for 2023, 5.70% for 2024, and 5.75% for 2025; and use of the Pri-2012 Nondisabled Annuitant, Amount Weighted, Mortality, with IRS 2024 Adjusted MP-2021 Projection Scale for 2023, 2024, and 2025 and retirement age at 62. There were no above market earnings on deferred compensation. 3 For 2025, represents our contribution to the Idaho Power Company Employee Savings Plan, which is our 401(k) plan, in the amount of $14,000 for each NEO, and a charitable match contribution for each of Ms. Grow, Mr. Buckham, Mr. Malmen, and Mr. Tatum. For 2024 and 2023, represents our contribution to the Employee Savings Plan in the amounts of $13,800 and $13,200, respectively, for each NEO, and charitable match contributions for each of Ms. Grow, Mr. Buckham, Mr. Malmen, and Mr. Tatum in 2024 and each of Ms. Grow, Mr. Buckham, and Mr. Malmen in 2023. 4 Total Without Change in Pension Value represents total compensation, as determined under applicable SEC rules, minus the amount reported in the Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings column (column h). The amounts set forth in the Total Without Change in Pension Value column differ substantially from, and are not a substitute for, the amounts required to be reported in the Total column pursuant to SEC regulations. We are presenting this supplemental column to illustrate how the compensation and human resources committee views the annual compensation elements for the NEOs. While the compensation and human resources committee does review the table in its totality, we note that the change in pension value amount reported in the Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings column does not reflect current compensation and represents the present value of an estimated stream of payments to be made following retirement. The methodology used to report the change in pension value under applicable accounting rules is sensitive to external variables such as assumptions about life expectancy and changes in the discount rate determined at each year end, which are functions of economic factors and actuarial calculations that do not relate to our performance and are outside of the control of the compensation and human resources committee.

Pension Benefits for 2025
1 SMSP I refers to Security Plan for Senior Management Employees I, which has grandfathered benefits under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, and SMSP II refers to Security Plan for Senior Management Employees II, which does not have grandfathered benefits under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. 2 Values shown represent the present value of the accumulated pension benefit under each plan as of December 31, 2025, calculated using a discount rate of 5.75% and the Pri-2012 Nondisabled Annuitant, Amount Weighted, Mortality, with IRS 2024 Adjusted MP-2021 Projection Scale.
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control The tables below show the payments and benefits our NEOs would receive in connection with a variety of hypothetical employment termination scenarios and upon a change in control. For purposes of the calculations for those tables, we assumed the change in control or terminations occurred on December 31, 2025, and used the closing price of our common stock on that date, which was $126.56. Actual amounts payable can only be determined at the time of a change in control or termination. All of the payments and benefits described below would be provided by IDACORP or Idaho Power. The information presented below: •Excludes base salary and short-term incentive awards, to the extent earned due to employment through December 31, 2025; •Excludes compensation or benefits provided under plans or arrangements that do not discriminate in favor of the NEOs and that are generally available to all salaried employees. These include benefits under our qualified defined benefit pension plan, post-retirement health care benefits, life insurance, and disability benefits. The present value of the accumulated pension benefit for each NEO is set forth in the Pension Benefits for 2025 table; and •Includes only the incremental increase in the present value of the Security Plan I and Security Plan II benefit, as applicable, that would be payable upon the occurrence of the events listed (other than upon death or disability) over the amount shown as the present value of the accumulated benefit for Security Plan I and Security Plan II in the Pension Benefits for 2025 table.

CEO Pay Ratio
CEO Pay Ratio Our compensation and human resources committee annually reviews the relationship of the median of the annual total compensation of our employees (other than our CEO) and the annual total compensation of our CEO. For 2025, our last completed fiscal year, the ratio of our CEO's annual total compensation, as reported above in the Summary Compensation Table, to the employee we identified with the median of the annual total compensation of all employees (other than the CEO), as described below, was 43:1. For 2025, our median employee's annual base wage was $125,674, and our median employee's annual total compensation, which includes overtime, premium and supplemental pay, non-equity incentive plan compensation, change in present value of pension benefits, and 401k match, was $175,218. For 2025, the base wage of our CEO was $1,050,000, and the annual total compensation of our CEO, as reported above in the Summary Compensation Table, was $7,529,892. We identified the median employee that was used for purposes of calculating the 2025 pay ratio as of the last payroll period in 2025, on December 31, 2025, using two factors: •Base salary and wages paid to all full-time and part-time employees employed as of this date, as the consistently applied compensation measure and as reported in our payroll records reported to the Internal Revenue Service on Form W-2 for 2025; and •Median years of service of employees with the same base wages, to reflect the median change in pension value for this group of employees. As of December 31, 2025, our employee population consisted of 2,174 individuals. Equity awards were excluded from our compensation measure in identifying the median employee because we do not widely distribute annual equity awards to our employees. Approximately 3 percent of our employees receive annual equity awards. In addition, we did not make any cost-of-living adjustments in identifying our median employee because all our employees are located in the United States. We believe the pay ratio disclosed above is a reasonable estimate calculated in accordance with SEC rules, based on our records and the methodology described above. The SEC rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio allow companies to use a variety of methodologies and apply various assumptions. The application of various methodologies may result in significant differences in the results reported by SEC reporting companies. As a result, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio we report above.
Pay Versus Performance
Pay Versus Performance We are providing the following information about the relationship between compensation actually paid, as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, to our CEO (PEO in the table below) and our other NEOs as a group (non-PEO NEOs in the table below) and certain financial performance of the company. For further information concerning our pay-for-performance philosophy and how we align executive compensation with company performance, please refer to the CD&A in this proxy statement.

2 TSR is calculated by dividing the sum of the cumulative amount of dividends for the measurement period (assuming dividend reinvestment) and the difference between our stock price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period by our stock price at the beginning of the measurement period. 3 Represents the weighted peer group TSR, weighted according to the respective companies' stock market capitalization at the beginning of each period for which a return is indicated. The peer group used is the EEI Utilities Index. 4 The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net income reflected in the company's audited financial statements for the applicable year. 5 The company selected measure is CEPS, or cumulative earnings per share, which represents a key measure of performance for the benefit of shareholders aligning executive officers' management efforts to enhance revenue and contain costs with shareholders' performance objectives. 6 The dollar amounts do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned or paid during the applicable year. The following adjustments were made to total compensation from the Summary Compensation Table (SCT) for each year to arrive at compensation actually paid, as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K (in dollars).

7 To calculate the fair value of our performance-based restricted stock unit awards, the probability of achievement in CEPS was re-evaluated annually. The valuation assumptions used to calculate fair values for the TSR component of the awards did not materially differ from those disclosed at the time of grant, except for consideration of historical performance-to-date as of the valuation date.
