I have paid Idaho Power Company $150 in fees to get a quote for removal of approx
1200 feet of overhead power line. They require payment of over $2600 within the next
60 days to proceed.
The problem is that the charge is many times more than the actual cost, in other words
the local contractor will remove the poles and line for much less- cost. The Idaho Power
Company will not consider allowing anyone else to remove the poles because they have a
tariff allowing them to charge whatever they want. I am requesting the commission to
allow me to remove the line at my cost and not pay Idaho Power Company excessive
fees. It seems to me that allowing some competition would be in the public s interest.
