Item 5.   OTHER EVENTS AND REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.

On September 9, 2002, IDACORP, Inc. issued a press release disclosing matters related to the winding down of the power marketing operations of its subsidiary IDACORP Energy.  A copy of the press release is filed as an exhibit hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

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:  the current energy situation in the western United States; market demand and prices for energy; 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' Forms 10-K for the year 2001, the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2002, and other reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
