Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application of IDACORP, Inc. To 
Withdraw Its Common Stock, No Par Value, and Preferred Share Purchase 
Rights From Listing and Registration on the Pacific

November 18, 2005.
    On October 27, 2005, IDACORP, Inc., an Idaho corporation, 
(``Issuer''), filed an application with the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to Section 12(d) of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 12d2-2(d) 
thereunder,\2\ to withdraw its common stock, no par value, and 
preferred share purchase rights (collectively ``Securities''), from 
listing and registration on the Pacific Exchange, Inc. (``PCX'').

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On October 14, 2005, the Board of Directors (``Board'') of the 
Issuer adopted resolutions to withdraw the Securities from listing and 
registration on PCX. The Issuer stated that the Board and management of 
the Issuer determined to withdraw the Securities from PCX because: (i) 
The Issuer maintains the principal listing for the Securities on the 
New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (``NYSE''); (ii) there is limited trading 
activity of the Securities on PCX; and (iii) the Board and management 
of the Issuer have determined that the administrative burden on the 
Issuer to maintain the listing of the Securities on PCX exceeds the 
benefits of such listing. The Issuer stated that the Securities will 
remain listed and registered on NYSE.
    The Issuer stated in its application that it has complied with 
applicable rules of PCX by providing PCX with the required documents 
governing the withdrawal of securities from listing and registration on 
PCX. The Issuer's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the 
Securities from listing on PCX, and shall not affect their continued 
listing on NYSE or their obligation to be registered under Section 
12(b) of the Act.\3\
