Item 5. Other Events And Regulation FD Disclosure
On May 16, 2003, IDACORP announced the settlement with FERC of issues surrounding activities between IDACORP affiliates, Idaho Power Company and IDACORP Energy. Please refer to the press release filed as an exhibit hereto.
Certain statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including statements with respect to future earnings, ongoing operations and financial conditions, are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Although IDACORP and Idaho Power Company believe that the expectations and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include: capacity and fuel; weather variations affecting customer energy usage; operating performance of plants and other facilities; environmental conditions and requirements; system conditions and operating costs; changes in governmental policies; and regulatory actions, including those of the FERC, the Idaho Public Utilities Commission, and the Oregon Public Utilities Commission, with respect to allowed rates of return, industry and rate structure, acquisition and disposal of assets and facilities, operation and construction of plant facilities, recovery of purchased power and other capital investments, and present or prospective wholesale and retail competition (including but not limited to retail wheeling and transmission costs). Any such forward-looking statements should be considered in light of such factors and others noted in the Companies' Form 10-K for the year 2002 and the Quarterly Report on Form10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, and other reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
