Commission,
We would like to have intervener status in this case. I offer the following comments
We own or have interest in several hydro plants that sell power in Idaho to Idaho Power.
I believe the current surrogate avoided Resource model should continue as is for hydro's
Tax Credits and qualification for REC sale is not by any means a sure thing for hydro. Qualification if any is site specific
not generic. Whatever benefit is derived should stay with producer not the buyer.
Many of the original contracts signed in the mid eighties will be completed in 12 to 17 years. i would like the current SAR
model to continue as is for hydro.
Thanks for the opportunity to comment.
