Hearing Scheduled on Utility Advertising in Idaho
The Idaho Public Utilities Commission will hold a hearing on January 14 to decide if energy utilities should fund advertising from sales revenues. Officials from Idaho Power, Intermountain Gas, Pacific Power and Light, Utah Power and Light, and Washington Water Power are to defend the practice. Critics say Idaho utilities, as monopolies, do not need to advertise due to lack of competition.
