2. The Intervenors are canal companes who have developed and operate small
hydroelectrc projects within their irgation projects and who have a substantial interest in these
proceedings as a result of those projects. Intervenors have a substatial interest in these
proceedings as the projects curently operating generate power purchased by Idaho Power
Company pursuat to power sales agreements applying the curent eligibilty rate caps.
Intervenors' projects will require the renewal of those power sales agreements at the expiration
of the terms of the curent agreements. Furer, Intervenor Nort Side Canal Company is
investigating additional sites to constrct new small hydroelectrc facilities, and the relief
requested by Idaho Power Company, Avista Corporation, and Rocky Mountain Power may
dramatically impact the abilty to develop these new projects.
3. Granting Intervenors' petition to intervene will not unduly broaden the issues before
the Commission nor will it prejudice any pary to ths case.
PETITION TO INTERVENE OF THE TWIN FALLS AN
NORTH SIDE CANAL COMPANIES 2
For the foregoing reasons, Intervenors hereby request that this Commission grant their
Petition to Intervene in these proceedings and to appear and paricipate in all matters as may be
necessar and appropriate to protect their interests.
