Fm writing to request that IPUC deny the request of Idaho Power to change the rules on net
metering in a way that further advantages carbon-based and heavily subsidized energy sources
while further disadvantaging renewable and sustainable forms of energy coming from small
produces to the grid. This would be a step back for Idaho.
In addition, Idaho Powers greed show through in that it has not proposed a reduction in
utility rates now that it is drawing much of its energy from the new low cost gas power
plant. It is also hoping to benefit from the elimination of the private property tax, all
without commensurate reduction in rates while hamstringing Idaho communities.
Idaho Power - Bad for Idaho. Bad for sustainable energy solutions.
Please, say NO to Idaho Power!

As a purchaser of energy and an advocate of increasing our use of renewable energy and
systematically phasing out the use of coal, I am disappointed and upset by Idaho Power's net
metering proposal. This has been one of the few (VERY FEW) opportunities home owners and
businesses have had to incorporate renewable energy technologies into our personal energy
portfolios and reduce air and water pollution in our state by reducing dependence on fossil
fuels.
The public interest requires options such as net metering. Individual homeowners and
businesses can invest in green building technology and reduce the long term costs of energy
by obtaining energy from the sun when it is needed the most. The arguments offered by Idaho
Power are unpersuasive.
Idaho needs net metering. Please reject Idaho Power's proposal.
