Please describe your comment briefly:
I received a mail insert from Idaho Power outlining Idaho Power's filing with the IPUC to
adjust its prices and raise consumer rates. Three of these initiative are of concern to me.
The first is the Energy Efficiency Program Funding - - the proposed increase from 2.5% to
4.75% of monthly charges in order to expand energy efficiency programs. If these programs in
fact promote energy efficiencies, I would expect Idaho Power to be DECREASING our rates due
to the efficiencies they have already implemented per existing programs. Raising rates
during this troubled economic period shows no moral conscience. Property values have
plumeted but property taxes have not decreased; jobs are lost; and Idaho Power wants to
charge consumers for implementing plans that increase its operating efficiencies. If it
benefits the bottomline, there should be a decrease in rates, NOT an increase. Please do not
permit a rate increase of any kind.
