INTERMOUNTAIN POWER
PRODUCERS COALITION AND THE
INDUSTRIAL CUSTOMERS OF
IDAHO POWER
Pursuat to a notice of scheduling, notice of workshop, and Order No. 30999, the
Commission ordered a workshop for the paries to discuss RFP guidelines and fuher procedure
in ths docket. Bye-mail on April 29, 2010, Staf asked for comments on the Position Matrix
representing the paries' positions expressed at that workshop and requested comments on fuher
procedure in this docket. The Northwest and Intermountain Power Producers Coalition
("NIPPC") and the Industrial Customers of Idaho Power ("ICIP") jointly provide the following
response.
This case was initiated in November of2008. Mr. Kah and Dr. Reading have pre-fied
testimony and exhibits that have been lodged in the record and are prepared to stad for cross
examination at hearng. Because of the inordinately long time this case has taken to proceed to
a final order, NIPPC and ICIP propose that the Commission adopt the following schedule:
May 24,2010: Deadline for Petitions to Intervene.
June 4, 2010: All Paries fie direct testimony.
June 18,2010: All Paries file rebuttl testimony.
Hearing following as soon as the Commission's calendar allows.
The Position Matrix is a fair sumar of the varous positions of the paries, but it is
obviously just that, a sumar. And the matrix reveals serious disagreement among the paries
as to the material issues. For the Commission to make an informed decision on this importt
issue, it is necessar for the paries to fully explain and defend their positions in prefied
testimony and that they stad for cross examination on the same.
DATED this 14th day of May 2010.
