I see this very simply - Idaho Power s other electric customers are
subsidizing Net Metering customers for any payment for electric energy
that exceeds the utility s incremental avoided generation costs at thetime of delivery of "as-available " energy to Idaho Power. It does not
matter whether the generation is one the falls under the provisions of
the PURPA of 1978 or not, in order for Idaho Power s other customers to
be held indifferent, Idaho Power should only pay the net metering
customer their true avoided incremental costs for any net energy
deli vered by these customers. I f these customer are willing to enter
into contracts with Idaho Power and give the utility the right to
dispatch the generation when it is needed and penalize for
unavailabili ty, then they would be entitled to higher payments.
