The Snake River Allance is an Idaho-based non-profit organization, established in 1979
to address Idahoans' concerns about nuclear safety issues. In early 2007, the Allance
expanded the scope of its mission by launching its Clean Energy Program. The Alliance's
energy initiative includes advocacy for renewable energy resources in Idaho; as well as
expanded conservation and demand-side management programs offered by Idaho's
regulated utilities and the Bonnevile Power Administration; and development of local,
state, regional, and national initiatives to advance sustainable energy policies. The
Allance is pursuing these programs on behalf of its members, many of whom are
customers of Idaho Power who are interested in promoting renewable energy and energy
conservation and effciency initiatives.
The Allance has appeared before and commented to the Commission in multiple electric
regulatory proceedings on behalf of our members and as a public interest organzation
representing clean and affordable energy interests in Idaho.
The Alliance is a lead public interest entity working on behalf of the above-mentioned
goals for sustainable energy policies in Idaho. As such, we anticipate paricipating in this
case asa pary, including the possible introduction of evidence and production of
witnesses on our behalf and on behalf of our constituents. We believe our paricipation in
this case wil assist the COniission and the Paries in working toward a successful
outcome inasmuch as the Alliance is an advocate for progressive rate design and other
regulatory incentives to promote energy effciency and conservation both by utilities and
their customers
WHEREFORE, the Allance therefore respectfully requests the Commission grant its
request to paricipate in this proceeding as an intervenor on behalf of its Idaho
constituents.
