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 Allance's
energy initiative includes advocacy for renewable energy resources in Idaho; as well as
expanded conseration and demand-side management programs offered by Idaho's
regulated utilties and the Bonnevile Power Administration; and development of local,
state, regional, and national initiatives to advance sustainable energy policies. The
Allance is puruing these programs on behalf of its members, many of whom are
customers of Idaho Power who are interested in promoting renewable energy and energy
conseration and efficiency initiatives.
The Allance has paricipated before the Commission in multiple proceedings on behalf
of our members and as a public interest organization representing clean and affordable
energy interests in Idaho.
The Allance is a 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
as a pary, including the solicitation of evidence on our behalf and on behalf of our
constituents. We believe our paricipation in this case wil assist the Commission and the
Paries in working toward a successful outcome inasmuch as the Alliance is an advocate
for progressive electrc resource acquisition selection by Idaho's regulated electrc
utilities.
WHEREFORE, the Allance therefore respectfully requests the Commission grant its
request to paricipate in this proceeding as an interenor on behalf of its Idaho
constituents.
