Exhibit 95.1
Mine Safety Disclosures Required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
Idaho Power is the parent company of Idaho Energy Resources Co. (IERCo), a joint-owner of Bridger Coal Company (BCC), which mines coal at the Bridger Coal Mine and processing facility (Mine) near Rock Springs, Wyoming. IERCo owns a one-third interest in BCC. The Mine is comprised of the Bridger surface operations. Underground operations are no longer conducted. Day-to-day operation and management of coal mining and processing operations at the Mine are conducted through BCC's joint owner. Operation of the Mine is regulated by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Safety Act). MSHA inspects the Mine on a regular basis and may issue citations, notices, orders, or any combination thereof, when it believes a violation has occurred under the Mine Safety Act. Monetary penalties are assessed by MSHA for citations. The severity and assessment of penalties may be reduced or, in some cases, dismissed through the contest and appeal process. Amounts are reported regardless of whether BCC has challenged or appealed the matter.
The table below summarizes the number of citations, notices, and orders issued, and penalties assessed, by MSHA for the Mine under the indicated provisions of the Mine Safety Act, and other data for the Mine, during the three-month period ended September 30, 2025. Legal actions pending before the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission (FMSHRC) are as of September 30, 2025. Due to timing and other factors, the data may not agree with the mine data retrieval system maintained by MSHA at www.msha.gov.
