FOR A DETERivflNA nON REGARIDNG THE FIRlv! ENERGY SALES
AGREEiYfENT FOR THE SALE AND PURCHASE OF ELECTRIC ENERGY
BETWEEN IDAHO POWER COJ.vfPAiVYAND DYNAlvflS ENERGY, LLC
Dear Commissioners:
I have instructed my attorney, ÑIr Steele, to submit the attached objections and
comments to this application. As a lifelong Idaho resident, experienced business man, and
retired dairy farmer, it is my obligation to contest this proposed energy purchase.
Idaho's business climate is one of the most favorable in the nation. But the Dynamis
business model, if approved, wil negatively impact our local governents and the ultimate
"cost" wil eventually be paid by ratepayers.
I favor cost effective renewable energy for Idaho. As we are blessed with some of the
greatest natural resources in the world, we pay the lowest electrc rates in the United States. The
Dynaris application completely fails any reasonable economic analysis. I urge you to study the
financial foundation of ths application. It canot withstand close scrutiny.
Respectfully Submitted,7t~/û~~

Dear Commssioners:
On behalf of Mr. Hubert Osborne, an Idao Power cusomer, I submit the followig
objections and comments concerng Cae No. IPC-E-l1-25:
1. There has ben no wae-to-energy plants built in the Unite States for the last
15 yea. See p. 83 athed. '
2. Idaho ha no rewable energy stdads and no energy plan. See pp. 85-89
atthed.
3. In ths vacuum of leaerp Ida's cities counties and ur renewa
distcts have rued to fill th void. See pp. 3-79 athed
4. Our loc governents have sp milions of dollar reg the

5. In June of2010 Ada County agreed to pay Dynams alos two millon
dollars for the design of a trh-to-energy Prject labeled as "experienta."
See pp. 17 and 23; see also, p. 42 (referrg to Ada County's purchae of the
design and the sae of the design back to Dyns.)
6. The Eaern Idao Regional Solid Was Distct, whch inludes Clark,
Bonneville, Madson and Fremont counties, reta Prision Systms

of a plant ths complex tht caot be forese. For ths ren, PSE believes
the EIRSWD win be expose to soe risk." In sumar th report concluded
that: "Subject to thse ar of uncety and fuer suject to th detal of
the informaton provide to PSE by Dyam PSE believes th the Dynams
technology is feaible and ha a renable likelioo of being opeble. See,

7. On October 17,201 I, Nampa City and the Nampa Deelopment Corpration,
afer commssionig a $250,00 stdy (see pp. 61-70) were advise by
McKi that th Dyns proposa wa not cost-effecve unr the
recently revise PUR A power purhaing ra as set by the Idao PUC. See
p. 70 atthed.
8. FERC's implementi reguations allow ths Commssion, in settg rates for
purchas, to differntiat among varous tehnologies on the bais of the
supply charctristcs of suh tehnologies (18 C.F.R. § 292.304c)(3Xn)) and
to consider "£tlhe expete or demons reliability of the quaifyg
facility." (18 C.F.R. § 292-304eX2Xn))
9. It is virtly impossible for ths Commssion to determe th reliabilty of
the Dyams teology, the economic viability or th feability of ths
applicaon ba upn the rerd before the Commsson.
10. Accordig to Dyams the tehnology for ths projec is a pated process

i 1. The applicaon conta only a gen description of th Dys
technology and Idao Powe spifcay dilai rensibilty for the
Dyams tehnology.
12. The application commts Dyams to deliver up to 20MW of non-intermttent
energy durg heavy loa hour. Yet, the Dys contrt with Ada County
addrsss interrtions or shortalls of wa deliver. See pp. 44-46.
13. In determing the avoided cost of ths application, the Commssion mus also
consider the falling prices of nat gas. See pp. 80-81 athed.
14. The Commssion mus al consider the cumulative renewable power
generation previously approved Idao Power could have 1,100 MW of wind-
powered generation on its system in the nea term tht would exce the
mium loas experience on Idao Power's system ths yea.
"Cumulatively, ths amount of generation would exce any other single
source of generaon - hydr, coal, na ga, or renewables - that exists on
Idaho Power's systm. See p. 2 atthed.
15. A waste-to-energy facility ha thee potential sources of revenue.
a. Energy saes
b. Cret and renewable energ credts See pp. 31, 39 and 50.
c. Tipping fee See p. 90.
16. Ada County wi not chae Dyn a tipping fee. See pp. 44 and 46. But
Dynams may chage a tipping fee to thd paes (p. 46) and may reuest fees
afer the intial term of the Ada County contr See p. 48.
17. The Commssion wil son be enteg additiona Dys applications.
Now is the tie for th Commion to scruti the tehnlogy and the real
avoided cost of ths applicaon.
18. As a negotiated price, and not a post rate, the rate to be pad Dynams is
subject to objection th it is too high.
19. The Dyns avoided cost of $92.36 per MW far exce other renewable
energy rates. See p. 91
20. The Dynams application will sadle Idao Power cusomers with additional
costs and higher power ra.
21. The Commssion ha the rensibilty to set cost rates tht are jus and
renale to Idao Power raepayers, not Dyns.
22. Ths application presents the Commssion with policy and feaibilty
questons th reui a technca heag.
23. The modfied prour reuesed by Idao Power doe not see the public
interes.
Idaho energy policies should be addrss by our stte legislators our IPUC
Commssioners and tehnca an fiancial expert. Ths application is drven by locly elected
offcials with litte or no knowledge in th spialize ar who ca be eaily inuenced and
who ar forcing Idao energy policy into a black hole.
Mr. Osborne, on behalf of hiself and other Idao Power ratepayers, pray tht the
Commission schedule a techncal heag so th the Commssion ca tae testony and

PRESS RELEASE
Backdoor Politics: Th Ada County Commissioners and Dynamis Energy, LLC
Why would Idaho Power agree to pay Dynamis Energy far more than any other
alterative energy prvider?
The Idao Public Utilties Commssion has been asked to appove a "deal" between
Dynamis Energy, LLC and Idaho Power Company tht will require Idaho Power to pay Dynamis
more than twce the going rate for electricity. The Dynamis electrcity is planed to be genered
at a proposed trash-to-energy Project located at the Ada County landfll.
Whle the public spotlight is now focused upon Idaho Power and the Idaho Public
Utilities Comsioner, this boondogge orgiated with the Ada County Commssioner.
Although Idaho Power has made the application to the Idaho Pulic Utiities Commission
for apoval of the Dynamis "deal," a close reading of the Idaho Power paper discloses a less
than enthusiasc endorsement. The garbage to energy concept sounds gren and clean and may
even be techncally feasible, but it wil be expensive for Idahoan, who have enjoyed the
cheaes electc rates in the Unîte States.
In June of201 0 the Ada County Comssioners agreed to pay Dynmis alost 2 mion
dollas for the design çf a trash-to-energy Project to be built at the Ada County landfil The
prar beefit to Ada County is the possibilty of extedig the usefu life of the landfill
bècase the Project will incierate garbage rather than bur it.
However, une many communities, Ada County has a landfi11 th will provide solid
waste disposal for roughly 70 to 100 yeas - the Hidden Hollow Landfilloff of Hil Road. In
2007 Ada County opened a new landfl section, the Nort Ravine Cell, located on 2700 acres of
County-owned prper. The Nort Ravine Cell is the replacement landfi11 for the nearly ful
Hidden Hollow Lanfill.
In 2005, Ada County contrted with Forst Energy to bur the natu byproduct at
the Hidden Hollow Landfill - gas - wbìch is used as fuel to generate electcity. Fortistar can
generte roughy 3.2 mega-watts of electrcity- enough to power about 2,400 homes. In 2010
Fortar paid Ada County $260,786 for gas produced by rottg garbage which was convered to
eleccity and sold to Idaho Power. Yet, the rate paid to Fortstar by Idaho Power is
substtialy lower than the rate to be pad Dynamis.
Dyis, acding to its website, is composed of .....a group of highly committed
prfessionas that are dedicated to clean renewable energy through wase reover sysems." If
thei website is to be believed, Dynis is ".. . your best source for value-drven, envionmentally
sound, global turnkey wase to energy serces." Dynams owns ",..state-of-the-ar propnetar
waste-to-ergy technology." Their .....patented process reduces reliance on fossil fuels,
3
deces harl emssions and provides numerus immeasurable long-ter benefits, cleag a
new path toward asustainable and cleaner world." Who can arge with that?
In June of2010 Ada County Comissioner Fred Tilman, Sharon M.Ullian and Rick
Yzaguir took it upon themselves to sign a contract with Dynams wluch says that Dynis wil
design". .. a 250 ton per day waste to energy faciity. .." refered to as the Project. The Dynamis
website states that ... "(0 )ne of our 250 ton per day plants produces on average 15 megawatts,
which means in theory we can provide power for 14,000 homes." (emphasis added).
Betwee July 15 and December 17, 2011, Ada County paid Dyns almost 2 milion
dollars. These payments were for the design of the Project. None of these payments purhased
any materal or labor or permts that wil be requied to buid the Project.
The Dynams. contract does not guantee that the waste to energy Project wil work or
even tht the waste to energy Project wil probably work. Rather, the contract states that the
alost 2 milion dollar Project design is based upon "exeriental technologies" and th af
review of the Projec design Ada County ". . .may not wat to proceed"
On November 1, 2011 the Ada Count Comsioners enter into a second agreement
with Dys. This time, however, Commsioner Vern Bisterfeldt refued to go along, but
majority rued. This ageement alows Dynams to finace the Project, build it, own it, an
operate a 54,400 sque foot plant costing $60,000,000 on County land for $1 a year. The
County wil deliver 408 tons of wase daly to Dyn at no chge. Dynams wil conver the
tras to elecicity whch it plans to sell to Idao Power, which brigs us back to the Idao Power
application before the Idaho Public Utilties Comsion.
Energy law requies Idaho Power to contrt with Dynams, but not at an inflated pnce
which will ultiately be paid by Idaho Power cutomers. This "deal" favors Dynas over
Idao Power customers. While science and technology make the Dynams prject possible,
science and technology have not mae the Dynamis prject economically feasible.
The Ada County Commissioners' rush to contr with Dynams left little tie for any
anysis. The drvig forces behid the ru to contract wer governent payments, tax
incetives about to expir, and cash.
Approval of ths "deal" wil open the flood gates. The Dynams "deal" is based.upon a
frchise business model designed to be repeated over and over again with local governents
who ar lured into approval by the "clean and green" mantra and the possibilty of ecnomic
grwt.
Any opposition to the Idao Power application before the Idaho Public Utilities
Commission ru the nsk of being labeled as anti~clean. anti~gree, and anti-environment But
thes are not the issues to be decided. The rea issu is whether we sadde the next generation of
Idahoans with obligations that are not ecnomically feasible. The simple question is: Why
would Idao Power agee to pay Dynamis far more than any other alternative energy provider?

PRESS RELEASE
Backdoor Politics: Ada County Commissioners an Dynamis Energy, LLC
Chapter 2
We are all in favor of renewable energy. We favor renewable energy so much
that our lawmakers have made it a favored industr. If it's renewable a project receives
favorable press, tax statUs, and alI the benefits our lawmakers can dole out. Unforttely, some
lawmaker do not know how to idenfy a renewable energy project.
The theory behind renewable energy is to encourage clea energy like solar, wid,
biomass, geotheral, and landfill gas generors. Typicaly these altertive or renewable
energy projects must spend a signfiçant amount of tie and money securig and analyzg the
motive force that leads t9 the generation of electncity before they commt to project contracts.
The Dyams projec skips the
" analysis phase and goes straight to the project contracs.
Should the Idaho Public Utilities Co~ssion approve ths "deal" between Dynamis Energy,
LLC and Idaho Power Company it would be signng off on technology that has no operational
hiory anywhere in the world.
The garbagebusess has become big business. The Dynams project, in the reewable
energy árena, is huge. Dynamis projects the cost at $60,000,000.
Idao Power is obligated by federal energy law to offer to puchase the electrcity that
may be generated by the Qyarnis ''pojec,'' even though Idao Power is choking on renewable
energy prjects. They have enough wi generation contract in the works to exceed any other
. single sour of generation - hydro, coal, natural gas or renewables - that exsts on. Idaho
Powers' systems.
Ths bQOndoggle assumes the technology wil work. But Dynams has not made that
promise to anyone. .In fact, according to Dyns, the technology is "experimental." Idaho
Power disclaims any responsibility for the Dynamis technology.
The Dynamis "sales pitch" is"that using their "expermental technology" garbage wi not
have to be pretreated, sorted or shedç. The problem with the sales pitch is that garage
contais "biogenic" materal, such as paper. yard trgs and food waste and "non-biogenic"
materal like plastics, rubber, and metals. Incinerating the biogenic materals is good. But
incinertig the non-biogenc materals is bad. The non-biogenc materials are considered the
same as burning fossil fuels, like coal.
Ou Idaho Public Utility Commîssion should take another look at the Dynamis projec.
Oter states, like Arizonå, are stggg with the question of wheter trash to energy is a
reewable energy source.
The Dynamis sales pitch works.' Ada County handed over almost 2 milion dollar and
signed a sweetea dea leasing propert to Dynams for 20 yea at $1 a yea.
6
Last week Bonnevile, Madison, Clar and Fremont Counties signed up for the same
sweethear deal for $15,000 each. Nampa passed on the sales pitch afer commsionig a
$250,000 study.
It's time to brng ths boondogge to a halt.
The Idaho Public Utilties Commission is takng comment on the Dys "dea"
though Februar 2, 2012. Comments are accepted via e-mal by accessing the Commission's
homepage at www.puc.idaho.gov and clicking on "Comments & Quesons About a Case." Fil

OU Proces
Our tecnoogies utilize a contrled (starved) airgasificatlon proæss, which thermally convert wast product Into a combusble
gas, Th unique modular design allows fo application flexibilty, simple Instllation, and ease of operation. With capadties frm 5 to
2000 tons per 12-15 hors of wast processing, our systems are Ideal for small municipalities and Indutries, as wen as large-sle
wast disposl applications. By adding thermal reovery equipment, we are able to prouce heat, power and power recoery of up to
50 MW (enough energ to serv a small rul community may be possibl for the largr systems.
Th Dyl1mis 3.0 tecnolog actively mitigates many potental emion problems such as particulates, NOx, many toxic volatlle
metls and dloilns/funs. Howevr, our systms can Incorprate either dry or wet saubbers or other emission abatemen systems to
neutralize acid gass and absrt oter dangerous by-duc, such as merc, depending on the waste type desyed. The
combuon of the primaiy gase in the secondary combustion sytem is usually sudent to eliminate toxic gases at levels exæedlng
U.S. EPA limit.
Because th Dymls 3.0 system require no pre-treatmen of waste and has few movIng part, it has many advantages over other
thrml tratment syems. Its durable, simple desin is easy to instll an operate. Onæ the system Is loaded it reuires minimal
optor attention and th has lower labor co. Th modular design allows for flexibilty In application to meet capadties frm 5 to
ovr 2000 tons per 12-15 hours. In addition, beca use of the technology employed, very little fuel is reuired to begin and sustaincobuson.
The fodation of th Dynamis design Is simpl, yet utilizes stte-othe-art technology allowing fo a robus and effcient sym
whch is bo operational and maintenance frendly. At the same time, th system is highly resourcefu for energy production and the

May 10,2011
The Maor caled the meetin to order at 8:00 a.m. at the Fir Training Ceter.
Th roll of th Council was taken with Councilmembers Homer, Krn, White and Thorn.
Also present were dearent head and other st member.
Cit Treasurer Debora Spile addred the Council on the phone situaton at Central Service.
She exlained that there has bee an increed volume of calls due to the irrigation bils an a
new policy that was implemented on not tug off domestc water from October thru Febru.
The phone system at Centr Servces does not have the capacity to hanle all of the calls th are
coming in.
Budig Safet and Facilites Directo De Davis induc David Nacca with McKinst
Esoo Inc. Mr. Naccaato intruce Lloyd Mahy who is the Charman and CEO ofDy Ener.
Mr. Maffey gave a preentaon on Turnig tie World's Waste into Reewable Energ
explaning that there is a grwing interes in integrd wase management and madated rewable
ener stda and a concern with globa wain and reducing the ca fo. Th
Dynais Technlogy is proven an imroed tecnology and it uss thl oxidation systm
(gasifica), not incineron.and is high effciency, high powe outpt and.ha been field tes
and prven. Mr. Maey went on to explain how the process works is gasification tecolog at
high tempere wi substial energ prouctn frm waste dispal to clean reewleen.
Finance Dirctor Vik Chadler preente two ways th th City may fud the request doUar
for the Was to Energy Feaib Anysis.
Economc Direct Cliff Long presented a sta report explaing tht in his five yea at the Cit
of Nam there have been few prospects with th potential to bring jobs and investents to our
community as the wase-to-eergy project you ar currently cosidenng. When conscted, this
prjec will change the course of Nampa's ecnomy and shpe our fure for yeas to come. He
expsed his support of the feasibilty ansis and to reuest assistance in fuding its
implementaon. Th opportnities for the City's workforce, the impacts to local businesses and
the potetial revenue stream to the City are a few of the positive attbute this project would
provide. In addition, the eonstnction of the failit would provide Nampa with an ecnomic
development advantage over other communities in locally produce "green" electncity and
pross steam to fuel new and existng industies. This "energy indepndence" would help the
Cit be compeitive for futu manufactring, food processing and high-teh opponities. The
first step in achieving this vision is to determine its feasibilty. By fuding a re world "reality
check", the City can find out if Nampa has the necessar components to make this projec
happen. If the results come bak positive, the Cit has the bais to partner with privat sector
developers to build and operae a successful facilty in our community. Witout this validatiOl
however, private setor paers wil invest their capital elsewhere-in communities tht have

done their homework to miize risk. Ths analysis is an invetment in our comunity. It is
not gurate but it represets a small expenditu with the potetial for huge rewads to our
citizens. He hope the City would conside the issue carefully and supprt fudig for ths
analysis.
MOVE by Homer an SECONDED to authorie the Mayor to sign a Projec Development

Vik Chadler presnte a su of the caita improvement plan for all fu inludig the

would coder a one peent incre in th elec frchise fee to have a reenue sour to fu

It wa th Counl's decision to author th Finance Direcr to prent a request to the City
Attey to change the Elecc Franch Ordina by reordi the teology on what the fees

preste to Council fur considetion at a late date.
Ms. Ch preted the Seond Qua Fincia Repor for Mach 31,2011. Gene Fund:
Cas on ba remains farly consistnt at Marh 31 copa to preious yeas; our prim
liabilty at Ma 31 is acru payroll, which we hae just sted doing on a regular bais to. give
fiial staents more accury; a dereing :f baance of over a milion dolla each yea
for th pa tw yea is as budget. Tody we have extly 25% of budgetd exdies in our
fud ba as is our policy, for emergent us an ca flow purposes. If we had other capita
fudig, 15% or so would be reasnale. Without oth capita funding, we reuire a tolof25%
fur emert unbudgeted nees, which I usaly capit ites. The longer we ar unable to buget
for caital its, th more :fuent and sigficant beome the unbudgeted nee. $3.8 millon of
the ft baance is on loan to Nampa Developent Corpraton (NC) so our emergency fud is
non-exist. Wegenery agree tht we must no buget any furter us of th fud bae for

Ok: The recent flood acally helped us wit computer replacements. The following Speial
Revenue Funds are those funds that get a significant par of their fuing fr fees. It is not
requed th they ar self.supprtg although they may be for operatons, if not capital itms.
Stmt & Traffc: Revenues ar shy due to timg and expendies ar un buget due to capita
and operaonal prjecs that ar seonl. Libra Cemete. Aiiort and Rereon Center: ar
doing well in al categories by trg to curl exnditu to math revenues. Golf Coures have
seona revenues, althoug th spri is dow by $80,OOO:f 20 I O. Civic Cente is slighly over
in operations us ma by revenues. Th Ido Cente will be sigcantl over budget this
yea due to fewer tourg coer competition for feer shows and les discron income frm
the lol ecoomy. They will use al of thir fud balance this year. Enterise Fun are reuied
to be totaly suppored from fee including capital items. Water & Sewer have not exed capital
and significant operonal budgets. Sanitation wil not have bad debt applied unl year end The
only buget for Capitl Funds is related to the 13% in Impact Fee CIP th is the city's
reibilty for grwt with the nex decae. The total is $1.8 milion or $180,000 per yea for
10 yeas. Ou selffunded ince plans continue to meet the minimum requirents for .:fd
bala an to mee th anual obligation with curt revenues. Ths is a healthy situation for the
City. Gr fu should reflec equal revenues and exnditu except for tiing diferenes.
HU and the Neigbood Stabiiztion Prgram reains very challening for cas flow and
contiue fung. The cah flow is slightly bett th reported las qua an thir tea is
worl on documention that should smooth the ca flow is before the en of th next
qu. Of prar concerns is the postponement of fundig for any capita itms in the Gen
an Special Revenue Funds. The longer we put otfthis funding the more common wi be emergent
ne. With a short tie ths wil become a cah flow prblem. Over budget ar tight and
exditures ar ve close to budget.
Vik Chandler preste the Cos Allocation plan sttig that the General Fud pays for suppor

Nampa wise to look'into waste power
plant idea (take poll at right)
Posted: Thursday, May 12, 2011 12:00 am
Nampa has taken a smar fist step toward what could ultiately brig in
millions of dollars to the city, while at the same time tu garbage that would
otherwise fill up landfil space into energy.
The City Council wisely voted 3..1 to spend $100,000 on a feasibility study for
a private plant that would tu city garbage into electcity. If the plan moves
forward, it would cost the city's urban renewal agency an additiona $150,000.
The expenditues were of concern to Councilman Stephen Kren, who worred
about spendig that much money on somethg that could ultimately fal
though.
Sure, the plan could fail to pan out. That's always possible. But anyone who
sta a business will tell you that you have to be wiling to tae calculated
risks once in a while - and you have to spend money to make money. And
when you consider the good thgs such a facility could bring - includig the
revenue it would generate - and look at what's happening just down 1-84, it's
a wise investment.
Power generated by the plant would be sold to Idao Power and would brig
in an estimated $1 million a year to Nampa. The operation would also generate
abut $700,000 anually in propert taes to urban renewal, which could help
pay for a new librar. The plant would be built nort of the Treasure Valley
Maretplace.
Prvate company McKin would build the plant and it would use
technology developed by Dynamis Energy of Eagle. A year ago, Dymanis
signed an agrment with Ada County to convert that county's municipal solid
t of2 ILL 1120129:48 pie
Nampa wise to loo in waste power plant idea (tae poll at right) .... htt://ww.idahopres.comlopinonledtoriaJampa-wie-to-look-in...
waste (household trh and ties) into electricity.
The company says its method of convertg waste to energ does not involve
bug it, so there wouldn't be stin smoke billowing out everywhere.
Accordi to an arcle published in Boise State's student newspaper The
Arbiter, Dyamis CEO Lloyd Mahafey says the waste is heated in a chaber
without oxygen and the matena1 is broken into elements that form a gas,
which ca be converted into energy.
When you consider the potential benefits - millions of dollars comin in to
the city, less waste piling up and less dependence on others for our energy -
it's wort risking the $100,000 to look into.

Wyoming's gabage, usually somethg to be dumped and buried, wil get a new life feeding
sma, modular power plants located near citis around the state, under plans from two
companes.
Guerney-based American Renewable Energy Asociates plants to break ground within a couple
of months for plats in Guernsey and Cheyenne that convert solid waste Ùlto electricit,
according to company representative. The company is eyeing sites near Giette and on the
Wind Rier India Reservation.
Meanwhile, Idaho-based Dynam Energy is in talks for simil facilties in Rierton and
Cokevile and plans to conduct a feasibilty study for the Riverton facilty in cooperation with the
Fremont County Commsion and the county's soli wase district.
Both companies pla to intall relatily snian, modular facilties that burn the waste and tu

The process is used in Europe and at sites in Florida, Caliorni and Oregon, but the facilties are

new to this par of the nation.
"Municipal waste is a great source of energy that we're just thowing away," said Rick Fawcett,di 7'
who represents Dynam Energy for its Wyoming projects.
The rush for garbage power is not 'ust due to the desire to stop wastig waste. The push for new
plants is lagely due to piring tå: break a an expected hike in the price of electricity
generated by small produ'said.
A sizble tax break offered though the federal economic stimulus package expires at the end of.
i012. ~d waste-tõ-enetgy developers are expecting a2014 hike in the rates power companes
wi pay for the electricity produced from small producers - a rate tied to the price of natural
gas, he said.
So both producers are pushing forward wit plas to break ground this year.
American Renewable Energy Associates spokeswoman Heather Foster said the company plans
to have both its Guernsey and Cheyenne plants in operation before the end of2012. Dynamis
Energy expects to break ground before the end of the year on its Riverton facil.
Each of the American Renewable Energy Associates' $30 milon plants wil stand on 3.3 acres
and wil process up to 300 tons of garbage a day, enough to create 13.5 megawatts õf electrcitY,s~
To put tht in perspectiv, the Dave Johnton coal-fied power plant near Glenrock is rated at
just more than ~OO meg~=-
The plats wil each create 170 construction jobs and 50 full-tie positions when put into
operation. The Cheyenne plant is located in an "industril par" of the city, and the Guernsey
plant wil be located 3.5 mies west of the cit.
The town is working to build up a full range of housing options for construction workers and
future employees of the plant, including reconditioned houses, portable homes, and higher-end
dwellig: for single failes, said Bruce Heimbuck, communty development coorditor for the
Guernsey Economic and Tourism Development Corp.
"I think it fits in real well" Heimbuck said of the plat. "It's green energy, should be a low
impact. It gis vibilty to the economic base and puts faies in the schools. It's stable,
long-term and viable."
The Dyamis facilties are slightly smaller, producing 7 to 10 megawatt of power from 125 to
250 tons of solid waste each day, Fawcett said.
The plants, which wil be permtted through the ai quality and solid and hazardous waste
divions of the Wyomig Departent ofEnVIonmental Qulity, produce few emisions and use

water produced from the waste gasifcation process, said Claudia Teeters, Wyomig projects
admtrator for American Renewable Energy Associates.
The facilties provide a way to use waste that would otherwise pile up in ladfi, savig space
and puttg new electrcit into the power grid from garbage, which naturally produces gas as it
decomposes.
"Harvestig gas from it is just natue's wayoftaking that material and decomposing it into a
ga," said Fawcett, with Dynamis Energy. "What we're just doing is acceleratig that."
Along with th plat construction, American Renewable Energy Associates is developing an
accredited curriculum for workers, to be taught though the Univrsit of Wyoming, Eastern
Wyoming College and Laame County Commun College, Foster said.
The curriculum could be used to tr workers for both the company's plats in Wyoming and
future locations elsewhere, as well as similar facilties owned by other companies, she said.
In the meantime, the company is negotiatig deals to get waste from surroundig communties.

"We've got a couple of buyers we're negotitig with rigt now," Foster said.

Thee garba-fuled power plats in Wyomig are movig ahead, although one appears held up by
dicussion wit county offcials.
Two of the plants are planned for the state's southast comer - one in Guernsey and one in Cheyenne.
The thd is plaed for Rirtn.
Whe progrss on American Renewable Energy Associates' two projects in southeast Wyoming may not
seem obvious to the publi, plans for both the Guernsey and Cheyenn plants are proceedin at a steady
clip, sa spokeswoma Heather Foster.
"We're stil on schedule for the 2012 openig date for our plants," she said.
The Guensey plat wil process 150 tons of garbag a day and produce 9 megawatts, whe. the
Cheyenne plant wil process 200 tons per day and produce
13 megawatt, Foster said;
The Guernsey-based company has obtaied rights to the technlogy it needs for the plants, which wil
convert the gabage into a gas tht fies boilers, whose steam drives turbines tht produce electrcity for
sale, Foster said.
The company is working wit the Wyoming Departent of Envionmental Qua for necessar perms,
closin in on fudi for the projects' constrctin as wen as possible buyers for the power produced. It
has alo receivd an interconnection stdy, a key step in determg how the plants wi ti into the
power grid.
"Tht stuy came back extemely favorable for us," Foster sa.
In Rirtn, thgs aren't movig quite as swly, said Rick Fawcett. He's the owner ofIdaho-based

representati for Dynamis Energy, i;hich own a waste-to-energy technology.
Fawcett met with the Fremont County Commsion and the board of the county's solid waste cüposal
ditrict on Tuesday to discus the project.
He sai the waste disposal board committed to figug out the cost of wase disposal to th county - a
key step in determig the value of garbage to be sold for use by the waste-to-energy plat inad of
goin to a landf
"Unti those questns are answered) it's real difcult for them to mae a decision if putting in th plant
is a savigs to thm," Fawcett said. "Our position all along is that th should reduce their cost of
disosaL, and if it doesn't, they shouldn't do it."
Fremont County Commioner Travi Becker said the board, whose members are appointed by the
commission, must determe the. diposal cost of the waste to negotite a sales prie wi: Dynamis.
The plat woul't cost the taayers any money to build or operate, and if a good deal is made,
taxpayers could save money on waste disposal and extend the li of their landfil, he said. Butflst there
needs to be less confion and better communication.
~'Y ou've got to have the. communicatin lies open, and 1'm not sure those lies were quite open in at
least one side's vision of it," he said. "I'm hoping, now that we had th meetig yesterdy, that a litte
more understadig is there."
The board should have disposal cost ready by Janua, Becker said.
Fawcett seemed frtrted but cautiously hopefu about the futu of the project.
"It's not by any means dead, but there's certainly no decisions made about whether we're going to do it
or not, eiter on their part of our par" Fawcett said.

PROJECTS SPARK DISCUSSION ON
WASlE-lO-ENERGY TECHNOLOGY
JAN 15. 2Q12 - SVEN BERG - IDAHO FALLS POST REG ISTER
By signing a franchise agreement Thursday, Bonnevile, Madison, Clark and Fremont counties
moved Dynamis Energy one step closer to building a wastei-to-energy plant in Dubois.
But no everyone is convinced the project wil take root. While discussion oftlie Dubois plant has
been minimal so far, controversy surrounds a much larier version of it that's planned for Ada
County.
Critics of the proposed Ada County project object to the way both the county and Dynamis have
handled the process of moving it forward. They question the lack of a bidding process and the
county's outlay of nearly $2 milion for the plant1s design. They wonder (f Ada County ever wil
receive a benefit in return.
'The Dynamis contract does not gua rantee that the waste-to-energy project wil work or even that
the waste-to-energy project wil probably work,1I Boise attorney Jon Steele wrote in a statement
released Friday. IIWhile science and technology make the Oynamis project possible, science and
technology have not made the Dynamis project e,onomically feasible. II
David Frazier, who runs the news website Boise Guardian, said he, tooi is not sold on Dynamis'
claims that its technology is viable.
"The whole thing is pie in the sky at this pointi" Frazier said. "Itls fair to say that Dynamis is seeking
ratepayer funding and Ada County taxpayerfunding for unproven technology," Frazier said.
Dynamis proposes to use bins with closely controlled temperatures and pressures to heat
household garbage. That process causes the iarbaee to release a synthetic ias that can be used as
fuel. The fuel gas is then burned to boil water, prod ucine steam, which turns a turbine and prod uees
an electrical current.
At maximum capacity, the Ada County plant is projected to produce as much as 22 meiawatts. The
Dubois plant has a maximum capacity of 4 megawatts.
Producini the synthetic ias is the hard part.
One of the reasons Dynamls chose this technology was the advantage of not requiring
pretreatment, such assortingorgrinding, of the iarbagei said Rick Fawcett, who is working throughhis company, Whisper Mountain, helping Dynamis piece toiether its Dubois project. But the fact
that household ¡arbaie often Is very wet and contains a huee, unpredletablerange of Items further
complicates the gas-production side, said Robert Cherry, a senior research engineer for Idaho
National Laboratory
"People can discard all kinds of problematic materials like car batteries, tree branches and rocks,"
Cherry said via email. "These can Interfere with processing. II
So far, no waste-to-energ plant built exactly to the Dynamis model is operational anywhere in the
world.
Dynamls hopes to bnng online at least four plants, including those in Dubois and Ada County,
around 20t4, Fawcett said.
A plant that features the Dynamis garbage-gasification concept has beenoperatlni In Barrow,
Alaskai since 1996, Fawcett said. That plant doesn1t produce electricity, but Fawcett said it does
produce synthetic gas. Once you have the gas, using it to make electricity is a simple, time-tested
process.

The four eastern Idaho counties that are collaborating in Dynamis' Dubois project also have
contributed money - about $15(000 each. Part of that money has paid for a feasibility stud. yand
some attorney fees. But it's smail change next to the nearly $2 milion Ada County has committed
to the Dynamis project.
Another question is how much eustomers wil have to pay for electricity produced at the Ada
County plant.
The Idaho Public Utilities Commission Is considering a proposal for Dynamis to sell power produced
there for $92.53 per megawatt hour. That's more expe nsive than Idaho Power's low-tier electricityi
but it reflects the price the utility would pay another electricity provider if it were not buying from

Comments of Idao Power Company
To the Interi Commttee on Energyt Environment and Technology
On the Draft 2012 Idao Energy Plan-
Membe of the Interim Energy, Envionmen and Tecnology Commttee:
Idaho Power apreciates the opprtty to off its comen on the dr 2012 Idah Engy
Plan to members of the Intem Energy, Environment and Technology Cottee, and as the
larest investor-owned elecc utility in the state, Idaho Power commends member of the
Inte Commttee for thei leadership and willingns to help shape the state's ener futu.
Idaho Power would also like to comend the Interi Commtt, the Offce of Energy
Resurce and the leaip. and member of the Idao Strategic Energy Alliance (ISEA) for
the time and enegy tht has been devote to updating the 2007 Idaho Energy Plan.
Idaho Power employees are actively involved in the varous ISEA tas fores, and at a board
level.
Idaho Power's comments are focued on five general area:
· emphasizing the strtegic natue of th plan;
· energy an ecnomic developt;
. tranrtation - the elephant in the room;
. conser adocacy;
. ener planng vs. energy statistics; and
Two specfic commen regarding:
. adoon of Intetion Buiding Coes, and
· PUR A reguatons and encourgig development of customer-owned reewable
genertion.
Emphasizing the Stregic Nature of the Energy Plan
Idaho Power believes Idao's engy plan should be strategic and diion in natu, as
opposed to being overly tactca and precrptive. Intiatives to implement the strategies set for
in the plan shoud be evaluated and vetted thugh the legislatue at the time the specifc
intiatve is prpoed. The energy bu is changig rapidly and the state's energy plan nes
to be capable of ad~g to the changig envinment Ths approach is similar to th Integrate
Resure Plang (IR) proces, in which a utity IR is acknowledged or acceted for filig
by the Ida Public Utilities Commission (IC), but not approved. The fact that the reure

Bois&, 10 8;107
85
plan contaed in the lR is not "aproved" prvides the utity and the IPUC with the flexbilty
to adap to chgi cicumstaes.
Energy and Economic Development
The plan identifies "opportties for economic development associated with energy production
as well as in serng global energy markets though maufaturig and sece" as one of the
thee pillar of Idao's energy futue. l4aho Power b~es there is a stn&ligebet
ccs to afordable energy serces and a successfu economic el . .
Id oans acess to some 0 e owest eetcity rates in the countr, coupled with the region's
abundace of natu resoures, emergig energy-related businesses and related reseach at our
state univerities, the Center for Advanced Energy Stues (CABS), Idao National Lab (IN),
and the region's quaity of life mae Idaho a natual for energy-relate economic development.
Idah Power stngy supprt the concep of aligng the allocation of low cost ener with
public benefit valUt; as deiled in secon 4.3 of the draf and it encourages the Inter
Cottee to embrac and build on th concet. Ths aproach can be especally successful if
the right types of new businesses ar attcted to Idaho and they provide a high ratio of ecnomic
benfit to thir energy requirements, helping to P!sere low rate for all customers. In order to
suort futu economic developent, in its 2011 IR Idao Power has "ProoSe addg an
additional 80 MW of pe-hour load to its load an resour balance begiing with the 2013
IR. "licftestïlng 80 MW of addtional peak-hour capabilty will be aVãIa6e to support bÔI
existing an new large load custo.
Ido Power stans ready to supprt the eleccal needs of the state's grwing ecnomy,
including working with the Interm Committee, member of the legilatu, the Goverr's
offce, Depent of Commerce, Offce of Ener Resources and th IPUC, to. craf meanngfu
economic development progr.
Trasporttion - the Elephat in the Room
Wle we beieve that acces to a low cost, reliable supply of electrcity is one of the key to
ecnomic development - and Idao Power will contiue to work to ensure its customers have
access to an abundant supply oflow cost electrca energy - this is only par of the engy pictre
for the averge Idah. As detailed in Table 2.3 on page 56 of the draf the averge Idaho
household speds $1,195/yea for electrcity, 27% of their anua energy bi. Compar ths to
galie expenditu. The averge houseold spends $2,555/yea on galit; 57% of their
anual energy bil.. more than twice as much as they spend on electcity.
Th ISEA has identified the nee to establish a task fore on trsprttion to investigae ways to
red the averge household's expenditues for gasolie. Idaho Power fuly supports the idea of
eslishig a trrttion tas force and encourages the Interm Coiittee to address this
isse. With over 582,000 households in Idah, this works out to over $1.4 billon/year on
gasline! In fa, dunng 2005 transorttion accounte for the largest petage of Idaho's
(QOO72743.00CX; 2l

gross grenou ga (OHO) emssion 1. So, if the stat ca implement progr that result inmeangl reduon in gaslie usage thugh conseation an effciency, caooli
reginal lad us planng programs an policies to reuce vehicle mies traveled, and
devlopment and use of public trsportation where practcable, Idahoans wil be able to reduc
their energy expeitus an reduc Idao's GHO emissions. Caroolig or other program
that result in a i 0% reduction in fuel expetues could save Idaoans over $140 milion per
yea.
Consumer Advocac
Other coents submitted on the draf 2012 Energy Plan suggest the ne for a consumer
advocate offce to repesent residential customer interests. Acknowledgig the imporance of
stakolder engaement, Idaho Power does not believe the 2012 Idaho .B Plan, or
comments on the Plan, are th appropriate vehcles for debating the pros and cons of establishg
an ftding a consuer advocate offce.
As a reguiat utiity operting under the junsdiction of the IPUC and the OPUC, Idah Power
has some of th lowest residential rates in the countr. This is at least due in par to the dilgence
of the IPUC Commissoners and Sta and the reguat overight the provide for Idaho's
investr owned utities. With ths in mind, Idaho Power encourges the Inter Comtte to
focus on the strategic issues identified in the plan and work to maxize the efecvenes of any
additional energy related progrs or expenditues.
Ener Plang vs. Energy Statistics
The dr 2012 Idaho Energy Plan is aproximately iso pages in lengt. Idao Power encourages
the Inte Comtte to consider sepatig th planng and policy components of the plan
from the engy statistcs and status sections. Statistics and stat chge quickly - some will be
out of date soon af the 2012 Idao Energy Plan is released, but th strategic aspts of th
policy shoul be longer lived. With th in mid, Idah Power suggests that the Interi
Committee consder ways to addre the enhancing our collective IQ componet of the 2012
Idaho Energy Plan by makng nuerous secons of the draft Plan available in an on-line fomiat
tht is updated mor frquetly than once every five year. If implemented, ths change wil
reduce the size of the docuent and help to emphasize the strtegic natu'e of the PIan.
Intetional Bulding CodS2
Idao Power believes tht it is imprtan for the stte's building codes to rem cuent From
ou perectve, it is more effcient to incorporate engy effciency features in buildigs durg
their initial costrction thn it is to retrfit an existing buildig. However, we alo recognize
that the stte faes a nuber of implementaton issues asociated with updatig the building
coes on a reglar bass. Is adtig the updated Interatonal Building Codes ever the years
the righ answr? Idaho Power encourages the Interi Commttee to discus the implementation
conce with the aproprate state agencies, and to develop a policy recommendation tht taes
i ht!p:llwww.dÇ(),idabQ.&ovl!ncdiii34S4~"ghg inventory idaho spOS.pdf, see page iü
lOO72743.DO 2)
87
into coideration both th lost opportnities (from an energy efciency perectve) and the
implementaton issues to reach a balance solution th addesses the interests of al
steholder.
PUR A Regulations and Encourging Development of Cuomer-Owned Renewable Generation
Project
Idaho Power has serous concers regarg the potenal modifications to Action E-7 discussed
at the Inte Committee's meetg held on November 3, 2011. Action E-7, as liste in the
October 14, 2011 draf of the 2012 Idaho Energy Plan reads as follows:
In accordane with federal la, the. Idaho PUC should continue to administer its
responsibilities under the Pulic Utility Regulatory Policy Act.
Idaho Power has no objecton to the above acon. However, at the November 3M meeg,
discusson of potential modifications to this acton tende to gravitate to the language and
concets contaned in the 200 Idao Energy Plan (Action E-l6), which reads as follows:
The Idah PUC should administer its res'fibilties under the Public Utility
Regulatory Policy Act in a way that encouages the development of customer-
owned renewable generation an combined heat and powr facilties.
--
PUR A is not meat to Incent renewable energy projects with the price that is paid to a Qualified
Faclity (QF). In fa an incetive prce for QFs is ilegal under PUR A, as PURP A requires
prce to be se at the utility's avoided cost, whch is to refec the increnta cost to an elecc
utlity of electc energy or capacity or both which, but for the purchase frm the QF, such utlity
would generae itse or purchae frm another sottce. See Independent Ener Producers
Association v. Californ Public Utilities Comm 'n, 36 F.3d 848, 858 (9t Ci. 1994) ("If
pure rates are set at the utilitys avoided cost, consumer ar not forced to subsidize QFs
beuse they ar paying the sae amt they would hav paid if the utity had geerted
energy itself or purchas energy elsewhere."). The incenve to QF development frm PURA
is thefoe not in the price tht a QF is entitled to but in the fact that the utility is require to
contract with the QF. See 16 U.S.C. § 824a-3(a).
PURP A reuires that utliy cusmer be econoiically indifferent to the effects of whether
power is puhased from a QF or otherse acquired (generated or purchsed) by the utilty.
Souther California EdiJon Co., 71 F.E.R.C. P 61,269,1995 WL 327268 (F.E.R.C. 1995) ('''e
intention (of PURPA) was to make ratepayers indiffert as to wheter the utiity used mor
tradtiona sours of power or the newly-ecoUTaged alteratives."). When the utility is fored
( to buy QF power in exces of ~ tre avoided cost, customer ar no longer indiffernt.
