This Intervenor, IdaHydro,is a confederacy of Idaho small hydroelectric producers joined in a trust for mutual benefit, consisting of approximately 72 MW of capacity produced by 32 small hydroelectric plants. All its members currently sell electric power and energy to Idaho Power pursuant to multiple contracts and have the potential to sell additional electric power and energy at other possible cogeneration and small power production locations in Idaho. IdaHydro members all have Surrogate Avoided Resource pricing and Schedule 72 operation and maintenance. Therefore, IdaHydro claims a direct and substantial interest in this proceeding in that the prices it receives for electrical sales and the costs it pays to Idaho Power may be affected by the outcome of this proceeding. 3. IdaHydro intends to participate herein as a party and, if necessary, to introduce evidence, call and examine witnesses, cross-examine witnesses, and be heard in argument. The nature and quality of evidence that this Intervenor will introduce are dependent upon the nature and effect of other evidence in this proceeding. 4. Without the opportunity to intervene herein, this Intervenor would be without any means of participation in this proceeding, which may have a material impact on the prices it receives for electric sales and the costs it pays to Idaho Power.
