Utah Power and Light asked Idaho Public Utilities Commission for permission to raise rates across all customer classes. The proposal targets an average increase of about 28.9 percent with a 20.2 percent cap for some, citing higher fuel, labor, materials, financing, environmental controls, and new plant construction costs.
