Re:Idaho Power —Energy Sales Agreement with Grand View PV Solar Two,LLC,IPC-E-14-19.
Dear Commissioners:
I view the Grand View 80MW solar project as a tremendous fmancial opportunity for Etmore County,as
well as for Idaho.We need industry that can supply 300 local jobs for a year,and many permanent full-
time positions for maintenance specialists.This project will generate increased local business during the
time of its construction,and supply as much as $400,000 in yearly property taxes to Elmore County for
many years to come.
I am pleased that 560 acres of unused farmland will be put to such good use.This utility-scale solar farm
benefits Idaho Power by helping it meet recent EPA requirements to reduce its overall carbon emissions.
The construction of this solar project will not adversely affect the local environment,and it will produce
electricity with no emissions whatsoever.
This utility-scale solar project gets my full endorsement—it helps Idaho’s economy,and it also helps the
environment.

Comment:I fully support these two utility-scale solar projects because they are:
•Good for the economy -local job creation;lucrative for landowners
•Good for ratepayers -solar energy will only get better and cheaper
•Good for Idaho Power -they simply must move forward to keep pace in a changing era
•Good for our environment -solar is a no-brainer as far as sustainability and
environmental protection
Please approve these two projects.Thank you.
Sincerely,

Comment:Dear Commissioners:
I am following closely as you are considering adding your first two utility-scale solar
projects.I fully support these projects--Grand View and Boise City Solar--and urge you to
do the same.
The future lies in alternative energy.To pursue solar is good for our economy,good for
ratepayers and Idaho Power and,especially,good for the environment--which we cannot afford
to further degrade.These projects will create clean,green jobs--something Idaho badly
needs more of.
They will also bring in revenue,without dirtying our air and water like burning coal.
Thank you for considering these projects and I urge you to move forward on them.
Sincerely,
Rabbi Dan Fink
