Importance: High
Dear PUC Utilities Div: (Please forward this to the hearing officers in this case):
I urge you to support the proposal by Idaho Power and Exergy to enter
into 20-year contracts in which the projects would be paid for delivering
10 average-megawatts a month to the utility. The projects include the
Milner Dam Wind Park, located about a mile west of Milner Dam in
Cassia County; Notch Butte Wind Park, between Twin Falls
and Shoshone; and the Salmon Falls Wind Park, located near Hagerman
and south of Bell Rapids. The first three projects each consist of 12
5-megawatt turbines and Salmon Falls consists of 14, 1.5-megawatt
turbines.
Idaho badly needs to grow non-dependency on imported oil and to
develop our vast resources of wind and solar to produce electricity.
We especially do not NEED nor WANT coal-fired power plants in
this state. Idaho Power and Exergy have the right idea and we need
more of it.
