Gentilmen/ladies: I live in McCall. rd. Last yr. over my and I'm
sure many others objection my electric bill went from (cold weather)
$80 to $95 to $125 to $135 this with the same kw usage as the
previous yr. Now an extra $30 to $40 may not mean much compared
to milions but I only make $20,000 per. yr. and $30 per monthi to
me, is a pay cut. Now I get a note along with my bill that Idaho
Power is askíng for more. An additional S6.3 millon for,~, that wil
no doubt become a perminant fee. A ree for smart meters, again
perminant, and $5.4 millon for themselves in the form of pension
i!lcreases. My God, I Have to fund my own retirement, if I stole it
from my neighbors I would go to jaiL. Idaho Power is a monopoly in
McCall, I have to pay their rates if I should want to have lights and
hot water. ï'm deprived of the right to vote with my feet to shop
around and purchase my electricty elsewhere.
That's where you, the PUC, are supposed to advocate on m)'
behalf. Idaho Povl'er is claiming these requests are necessaiy costs of
future business. Well, the last time Ichecked they are a publicly
traded business, aren't expansions and inprovrments supposed to be
funded by the owners? Shoulden't these expenees be comming out
of stockholder dividends? Isn't this the stockholders business and
thus their responsabiHty, and not the consumer that is and always wil
be over a barrel?
Eanough already. I notice that no one has bothered to mention
that e!ectriety has not become more expencive to produce nor is
there a shortage.
SO PLEASE, NO MORE RATE INCREASES !!!!

Please describe your comment briefly:
I just opened my electric bill, and to no surprise to me a proposed rate increase AGAIN!!
Taken each proposal one by one; FCA What this tells me is save energy every way we can and
when Idaho power doesn't make as much monies wwe'll just raise the rates, great incentive
for me!!
AMI; New meters which will 'reduce operating costs' looks like another rate increase next
year.
Pension funding' 'pensions help attract and retain high quality employees' lets put an add
out for high quality, skilled and knowledgeable people without a pension fund and I'll bet
people from around the country will flock here for a job even without a pension.
As for me being on totally clean 100% electric, how can I continue to keep paying for it.
This sounds more like a wall street bailout.!
