Please describe your question or comment briefly:
The Idaho Mountain Express (1/17/1) reports:
Idaho Power Co. is seeking approval from the Idaho Public Utili ties Commission for two
pilot programs to encourage energy efficiency. One, IPC-E-04-15, would allow an annual
increase to customers I electric rates if company investments in energy efficiency programs
increase company costs. In other words, the plan would prevent the company from losing
money when it invests in such programs.
The other, IPC-E-06-32, would give the company financial incentives for meeting
performance levels in a program to encourage energy-efficient home construction.
As I recall, the most recent rate increase allowed of Idaho Power was justified by the
increase in demand for electricity. Now, as I understand it, Idaho Power is seeking arate
increase if demand is decreased by conservation or efficiency measures. It seems as
though ratepayers are being asked to take it from both directions. How is thisjustifiable?
