Subj.ect: Case No. IPEC - E - 05-24 ; In the Matter of the Application of Idaho ' Power for the
Approval of Firm Energy Sales Agreement for the Sale and Purchase of ElectriCal Energy
between Idaho Power and Arrow llock Wind, Inc.
Dear Commissioners:
This letter is written by way of a follow up to information submitted by Idaho ~ower at the
request ofIPUC staff. Initially, Arrow Rock Wind, Inc. CiOntempJated leasing the turbines and
entered into negotiations with Invenergy to do the same. This resulted in the draft, Jesse
agreement that was submitted to the Commission.
After informal conversations with PUC staff, and concerns raised by statt: we d;ecided that it
would be best to own the facilities. Therefore we went back and began negotiation with
Invenergy in Jun~ 200S. At approximately the same time that Idaho Power filed the moratorium
on wind projects.
Because of the moratorium. our momentum in moving forward with the purchase of the wind
turbine facilities slowed. It wu only after that Idaho Power in late July signed die cOntract and
' ,
forwarded it to the PUC that we reinidated our work to purchase the wind turbines.
, ,
We are on track to purclwe the wind turbines and hope to finish negotiations ~gust 30 and 31"
T eel S. Sorenson, President
