Excessive fees and poor compensation aimed at small, renewable energy generators, can no
loner be accepted by the people of Idaho. Solar technology private citizens utilize for their
benefit should be promoted in Idaho. Action needs to be taken in Idaho to encourage
innovation in energy production with the help of the state's private citizens. I hope utility
companies throughout Idaho will promote renewable sources of energy for the benefit of the
state.

For years I watched my father work for Idaho Power--25 in all--and he was a very good
employee. His retirement is a pittance! Yet I remember many nights in the middle of the
winters he was 'on call', and left our warm home at 1 or 2 oclock in the morning to go out BY
HIMSELF and physically climb a pole in freezing snowy weather to help restore power to a
customer in need. His allegence to the COMPANY was total. What happened to this company?!!
From the looks of it my father and other men and women of his time handed the reins down
to a generation of spoiled, stubborn, and greedy folk. I would like to know why it is that
Germany in 2012 put solar pannels on the roofs of houses and virtually satified their
country's need for electricity? Come on here! Let's show a little American enginuity. There
is enough gruel in the pot for everybody, and if we put our minds together perhaps we can re-
create that seemingly lost art of creating a mutually beneficial relationship between the
company and it's customers--whom happen to be people, by the way!!

Any solar power no matter how small is good clean power and should be encouraged, not
penalized. Please find a way to encourage its generation. We need it.

I support solar power In Idaho, and do not think it acceptable for big utilities like Idaho
Power to stomp out small renewable energy generators through excessive fees and poor
compensation. Idaho power needs Instead to encourage solar power generation, not try to crush
it by ridiculously high monthly charges and useless credits.

I would urge the Idaho PUC to deny this application. The argument in favor of the
application fails to take in many aspects of net metering by focusing on costs alone. Just
to state two of those, over the long term, with effective expansion of net metering, fixed
cost investments (power lines, etc.) will decline, resulting in a benefit to all customers of
Idaho Power. And, the timing of availability of this power coincides with maximum usage of
power during the year, which makes it a good fit with Idaho Power's portfolio. Idaho Power
argues this is a fairness issue, but this proposal is patently unfair and shortsighted. This
proposal won't encourage net metering - it will clearly discourage it.

You need to encourage small solar and give generators fair compensation for the power they
generate, instead of discouraging it by increasing monthly fees.

In this day and age solar power should be ENCOURAGED not discouraged. We need as much clean
energy as we can produce and folks who install their own solar units should be rewarded. For
Idaho Power to levy a large surcharge on solar installations is backward and regressive. PUC
should order Idaho Power, as well as other utilities, to encourage solar power.

We must not be penalized by attempting to use alternative energy sources.
Solar, wind, and geothermic power may not be bringing in the money to the big corporations,
but in the long run, it will benefit all people.
Please, allow individuals to help the whole. Do not penalize the alternative energy
supporters.

I am writing to ask you to encourage solar in Idaho, not penalize it.
Small solar generators should have tax breaks, not be penalized to appease a large utility.
With the impending climate catastrophe, we need to do everything possible in Idaho to
encourage all alternative forms of energy.

I believe that Idaho should SUPPORT solar exploration and utilization. We have the
responsibility to take care of our envirnment, and I believe a renewable source such as solar
is non invasive, non polluting and can support jobs. What excuse is there not to implament?

I think it's outrageous to quadruple his service charge. The power company should be kept
from charging a person who has solar, wind, or any other renewable power source more for the
basic service charge than the average customer who is purchasing power from the company.
Also, the power company should compensate him for power that they will be taking from him at
a FAIR market rate. I would consider this price gouging: Price gouging is a pejorative term
referring to a situation in which a seller prices goods or commodities much higher than is
considered reasonable or fair. The quadruple of his basic service charge, is definitely
UNreasonable. They are trying to set up a racketeering situation where it is financially
unfeasible to set up ones own solar panels to generate power, therefore being tied to the
power company without other financially reasonable options. I for one do not approve, and
think that this is not the road we should be traveling down. We need to encourage being
independent of the power grid, to have a more stable system. Additionally, I think renewable
power resources should be developed and encouraged to help put our ecosystem back to a more
natural state for our health and everything else living on this planet.

I did talked to Idaho power Representative about solar and he said it cost too much, and it
will be a long run on loan expense.
For example you get loan for iO years for solar and it would cost me more to pay loan and
electricity usage cost and after 10 years then the solar need maintenance cost.

Idaho needs to encourage the private use of Solar Energy, NOT discourage it vis exhorbitant
usage fees! Idaho Power needs to get on board with this and can do so by LEASING solar power
systems, thereby making money while doing the right thing!
