Re: Idaho Power -- Energy Sales Agreement
and IPC-E-L4-2@
Dear Commissioners:
with Gnand View Solan and Boise City, IPC-E-14-19
Aften neviewing Idaho Power's submissions to the PUC for the Energy Sales Agreements with
Gnand View Solar and Boise City, I would like to register my support for these pnojects.
I suppont these projects wholeheartedly because they are:. Good for ratepayers. Good fon the economy. Good for Idaho Powen. Good for oun environment (for us and future generations)
They are good fon natepayers. Idaho is blessed with some of the best solar resources in the
United States, and solar enengy is poised, as electronics did, to get better and cheapen.
Contrast this with coal, which will only get scarcer and more expensive. I am thnilled to
see Idaho Power inconporating Idaho-genenated solan utility-scale powen into thein resourcemlx. This will be an opportunity for both Idaho Power and the Grand View and Boise City
pnovidens to learn and to improve future solar projects.
They ane good for the economy. These pnojects will provide an estimated 450 construction jobs
for t2 months, aften which they will employ maintenance professionals. This will create
additional local jobs and business oppontunities in Idaho to support solar workers.
Landownens in Elmore County will neceive up to 35 years of payments, and Elmore County will
add oven $4O0rA@Olyean to tax receipts. The U.S. solar industny employment grew 53 percent
fron 2OL@ to 2OL3, per a Solar Foundation 2QL4 report. Idaho can and should share in that
growth !
They are good for Idaho Power. Idaho Powen must find a way to profit in the era of so1ar,
wind, hydro and enengy consenvation + demand reduction to meet its powen obligations. CoaI
pnices will only rise due to government regulations intennalizing costs that were formerly
externalized (i.e., cleanup), Ieaving Idaho Power with stnanded costs. This is an oppontunityto leann how to do that.
They are good for oun envinonment. Per the Intennational Panel on Climate Change (IPCC),
canbon dioxide emitted now wiII continue to disrupt the eanth's climate for hundreds of yeans
aften we are gone. The soonen we stop burning coal, the betten. These are the first and
largest solar utility-scale projects to be built in Idaho! The 120 MW generated will power
an estimated 3O,OOO homes and reduce the need fon coal burning. It will also reduce the
mencuny, hydrocarbons, ansenic, lead and other toxic heavy metals generated in the process of
burning coals, impnoving the health of Idaho, Nevada and Wyoming residents. From a Climate
Change perspective, this will remove an estimated lSO.OOO tons of carbon dioxide per yean.
Fon this, we and futune Idahoans thank you!
I wholeheartedly encourage you to approve this pnoject.
Sincerely,
Mandy Latchu

Comment: Dear Sins and Ma'am:I wish to express my suppont as an Idahoan and an Idaho Power customer for these pnojects,
the state's first projects of this sca1e. These pnojects wiII provide jobs during
construction and ongoing (for maintaining), and will be a boon fon rate-payers such as oun
family as adding solar to the mix of sources is a veny smant move for Idaho Powen and fon
Idaho's powen needs going further into this centuny. This adds furthen stability as
nonrenewable sounces become more depleted oven time.I hope you will give your assent to these projects. Thank you.

They are good for natepayers. Idaho is blessed with some of the best solar resources in the
United States, and solan energy is poised, as electnonics did, to get better and cheapen.
Contnast this with coal, which will only get scarcer and more expensive. I am thrilled to
see Idaho Powen incorporating Idaho-generated solar utility-scale power into their resouncemix. This wiII be an opportunity fon both Idaho Powen and the Grand View and Boise City
providers to learn and to improve future solan projects.
They ane good fon the economy. These projects will provide an estimated 450 constnuction jobs
for 12 months, after which they will employ maintenance pnofessionals. This will cneate
additional local jobs and business opportunities in Idaho to support solar workens.
Landowners in E1more County will neceive up to 35 years of payments, and Elmore County wiII
add oven $4OO,OOO/year to tax receipts. The U.S. solar industry employment gnew 53 percent
fron 2OtO to 2013, pen a Solan Foundation 2OL4 neport. Idaho can and should share in that
growth !
They are good for Idaho Powen. Idaho Power must find a way to profit in the ena of solar,
wind, hydno and enengy conservation + demand neduction to meet its power obligations. CoaI
prices will only rise due to government negulations internalizing costs that were formerly
externalized (i.e., cleanup), leaving Idaho Power with stnanded costs. This is an opportunity
to learn how to do that.
They ane good for our envinonment. Per the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC),
canbon dioxide emitted now will continue to disnupt the eanth's climate for hundreds of yeans
after we are gone. The sooner we stop burning coal, the better. These are the finst and
largest solar utility-scale projects to be built in Idaho! The 120 MW generated will power
an estimated 301000 homes and neduce the need for coal burning. It will also reduce the
mencuny, hydrocarbons, arsenic, Iead and other toxic heavy metals generated in the process of
bunning coals, improving the health of Idaho, Nevada and Wyoming nesidents. From a Climate
Change perspective, this wiII remove an estimated LsOTOOO tons of canbon dioxide pen year.
Fon this, we and futune Idahoans thank you!
I wholeheartedly encourage you to approve this project.

Dear Commissioners:
Idahoans have benefitted fnom renewable powen for decades. Today we are fortunate that wind
and solar power are developing. I would love to see solar panels on eveny roof. That doesn't
mean that I would object to a commercial venture like Idaho Powen's proposal for the Enengy
Sales Agreements with Grand View Solan and Boise City. I would like to negister my supportfor these pnojects.
I support these projects wholeheantedly because they are:. Good for natepayers. Good fon the economy. Good for Idaho Power. Good fon our envinonmepf;(for us and future generations)

with Grand View Solar and Boise City, IPC-E-14-19
Dear Commissioners:
Aften reviewing Idaho Powen's submissions to the PUC for the Enengy Sa1es Agreements with
Grand View So1an and Boise City, I would like to register my support for these projects.
I support these projects wholeheantedly because they are good for ratepayers, good fon the
economy, good fon Idaho Powen, and good for our environment, fon us and for oun futune
genenations.
I'm sure you know that not only does Idaho have some of the best solar resources in the
United States, this solar energy is poised, as electronics were, to get better and cheapen.
CoaI, on the other hand, will only get scarcen and mone expensive. I am very happy to see
Idaho Power inconponating Idaho-genenated solar utility-scale power into their resource mix.
This is an opportunity for daho Power and Grand View and othen Boise City pnoviders to learn
and to impnove futune solan pnojects.
Financially, these projects wiII provide an estimated 450 constnuction jobs fon 12 months,
aften which they will employ maintenance professionals. This wiIl create additional local
jobs and business opportunities in Idaho to suppont solar wonkens. Landownens in Elmore
County wiII neceive up to 35 years of payments, and Elmone County will add over $400,OOO a
year to tax neceipts. The U.S. solar industny employment grew 53 percent from 2O1O to 20L3,
according to a So1an Foundation 2OL4 neport. Idaho can share in that growth.
Idaho Power also needs to succeed in this era of solar, wind, hydro and energy conservation.
CoaI pnices will only rise due to government regulations internalizing costs that were
formerly externalized (i.e., cleanup), Ieaving Idaho Power with stranded costs. This is an
oppontunity to learn how to do that.
FinaIIy, and to my way of thinking as a mother, a grandmother and a great-grandmother, they
are good fon our environment. According to the Intennational Panel on Climate Change (IPCC),
carbon dioxide emitted now will continue to disrupt the earth's climate fon hundneds of years
aften we are gone. The sooner we stop burning coal, the betten. These are the first and
Iargest solar utility-scale projects to be built in Idaho! The 120 MW generated will powen
an estimated 30,000 homes and neduce the need for coal burning. It will also neduce the
mercury, hydnocarbons, arsenic, Iead and othen toxic heavy metals genenated in the process of
bunning coals, improving the health of Idaho residents and residents of nearby states.
Finally and most importantly, you have an opportunity here to help pnevent the ruin
exacenbated by an estimated 150,000 tons of canbon dioxide per year. Fon appnoving thisproject, I and my descendants will enthusiastically thank you!
Heywood Williams, loven of the Eanth, artist, retired teacher, daughter, sister, aunt, niece,

Grand View Solar and Boise City, I would like to negister my support for these pnojects.
I suppont these projects wholeheantedly because they are:. Good for ratepayers. Good for the economy. Good fon Idaho Power. Good for oun environment (for us and future generations)
They are good fon natepayens. Idaho is blessed with some of the best solar resources in the
United States, and solar enengy is poised, as electronics did, to get betten and cheapen.
Contrast this with coal, which wiII only get scarcer and more expensive. I am thnilled to
see Idaho Power inconporating Idaho-generated solar utility-scale power into thein resouncemix. This wiII be an oppontunity for both Idaho Power and the Gnand View and Boise City
pnovidens to learn and to improve futune solan pnojects.
They ane good fon the economy. These pnojects will provide an estimated 450 construction jobs
fon t2 months, aften which they wiII employ maintenance professionals. This wiII create
additional local jobs and business opportunities in Idaho to support solan workers.
Landownens in Elmore County will receive up to 35 yeans of payments, and E1more County will
add oven $4OO,O@O/yean to tax receipts. The U.S. solan industry employment gnew 53 percent
fron 2OtO to 2@73, pen a Solan Foundation 2OL4 report. Idaho can and should share in that
gnowth !
They are good for Idaho Powen. Idaho Power must find a way to profit in
wind, hydro and enengy conservation + demand neduction to meet its power
pnices will only nise due to government regulations internalizing costs
externalized (i.e., cleanup), leaving Idaho Power with stranded costs.to learn how to do that.
This is an opportunity
They are good for our environment. Pen the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC),
canbon dioxide emitted now will continue to disrupt the earth's climate for hundreds of yeans
aften we ane gone. The soonen we stop bunning coal, the better. These ane the finst and
largest solar utility-scale pnojects to be built in Idaho! The LzO MVI generated wiII power
an estimated 30,000 homes and reduce the need for coal burning. It will also reduce the
mercury, hydnocarbons, ansenic, lead and other toxic heavy metals generated in the process of
burning coals, improving the health of ldaho, Nevada and Wyoming residents. From a Climate
Change perspective, this wiII remove an estimated 15O,OOO tons of canbon dioxide per year.
Fon this, we and future Idahoans thank you!
I wholeheantedly encourage you to appnove this project.

I suppont these projects wholeheantedly because they are:1. Additional energy sounce options fon concerned natepayers 2. Growing good jobs for the
economy 3. Good for our environment, less mercury in our famous Idaho fisheries, birds andwildlife and for improving the health of future genenations.4. Good investment fon both ID Powen and myself as a small investor saving for my future And
several other points outlines below:
They ane good fon our envinonment. Per the IPCC, CO2 emitted now will continue to disrupt the
earth's climate for hundreds of years after we are gone. The sooner we stop burning coal,
the betten. These are the first and langest solar utility-scale pnojects to be built in
Idaho! The 120 MW genenated will powen an estimated 30,000 homes and reduce the need for
coal bunning. It wiII also reduce the mercury, hydrocanbons, ansenic, lead and other toxic
heavy metals generated in the process of burning coals, improving the health of ldaho, Nevada

L\O,OOO tons of carbon dioxide per year. The solar option is good fon ratepayens. ID is
abundant with solan resources amongst this US region, and solar energy is poised, as
electronics did, to get betten and cheaper. Contrast this with coal, which will only get
scarcer and more expensive.It is good to see ID Power inconponating Idaho-generated solan utility-scale power into their
resource mix. This will be an oppontunity for both ID Powen and the Gnand View and Boise
City pnoviders to leann and to improve futune solar pnojects.
Jobs, jobs, jobs right, are good for the economy? These pnojects will provide an estimated
450 construction jobs for 12 months, after which they will employ maintenance pnofessionals.
This will create additional loca1 jobs and business opportunities in Idaho to support solar
workers. Landowners in Elmore County will neceive up to 35 years of payments, and Elmore
County wiII add over $400,O0@/year to tax neceipts. The U.S. solan industry employment grew
53 percent from 2O18 to 20t3, per a Solan Foundation 2014 report. Idaho can and should shanein that growth!
As a small investon these solan investments wiII pay off and ane good fon Idaho Powen and myportfolio. CoaI is dirty, polluting, poisonous and is necognized on WaII street as being a
loosing investment for the coming decades. ID Power must find a way to pnofit in the era of
so1an, wind, hydno and enengy conservation + demand neduction to meet its powen obligations.

CoaI pnices will only rise due to government negulations intennalizing costs that wene
fonmerly extennalized (i.e., cleanup), leaving Idaho Powen with stnanded costs. This is
oppontunity to leann how to do that.

I will stant with the most impontant of the bullets listed above. The existential thneat of
climate change is too neal to ignore. lust because the direct effects of burning fossil fuels
are invisible to the human eye, the real consequences of such actions ane real and visible.
The sad thing is that scientists have been telling us this for oven two decades, longer thanI have been alive. Coping with the new normal of extneme weather and potential planetary

to learn how to do that.
They are good fon our environment. Pen the Intennational Panel on Climate Change (IPCC),
canbon dioxide emitted now will continue to disrupt the earth's climate for hundneds of yeans
aften we are gone. The sooner we stop burning coal, the better. These are the first and
largest solan utility-scale projects to be built in Idaho! The LzO MW generated will powen
an estimated 30,OOO homes and reduce the need fon coal bunning. It will also neduce the
mencuny, hydnocarbons, arsenic, Iead and othen toxic heavy metals generated in the pnocess of
bunning coals, improving the health of Idaho, Nevada and Wyoming nesidents. Fnom a Climate
Change perspective, this will remove an estimated 1.5O,OOO tons of carbon dioxide pen yean.
Fon this, we and future Idahoans thank you!
I wholeheartedly encounage you to appnove this project.

Comment: Solan powen, either on an individual basis on a utility scale pnoject, is not only
good for Idaho, but beneficial to the envinonment. Hydro generated power will be around for
Iong time. Howeven, as we have seen with the Wanapum Dam problem on the Columbia, Mothen
Nature always find a way to dismantle what man has created. Altennative energy methods ane
necessary alternative to the ways of the past and it is time we embnace fully these new

Dear Commissionens:
After reviewing Idaho Powen's submissions to the PUC fon the Enengy Sa1es Agneements with
Gnand View Solan and Boise City, I would like to registen my support for these projects.
I suppont these projects wholeheartedly because they are:. Good for ratepayers. Good for the economy. Good fon Idaho Powen. Good for our environment (for us and future generations)
They are good fon ratepayers. Idaho is blessed with some of the best solar resources in the
United States, and solar energy is poised, as electnonics did, to get betten and cheaper.
Contnast this with coal, which will only get scarcen and more expensive. I am thnilled to
see Idaho Power incorporating Idaho-generated solar utility-scale power into thein nesource
mix. This will be an opportunity fon both Idaho Powen and the Gnand View and Boise City
providens to learn and to improve future solan projects.
They are good for the economy. These projects will provide an estimated 450 constnuction jobs
for 12 months, after which they will employ maintenance pnofessionals. This will create
additional local jobs and business opportunities in Idaho to suppont solan workers.
Landownens in Elmor e County will neceive up to 35 years of payments, and Elmone County will
add over $4OO,OOO/year to tax receipts. The U.S. solar industry employment grew 53 percent
from 2OtO to 20L3, per a Solan Foundation 2OL4 report. Idaho can and should share in that
growth !
They ane good fon Idaho Powen. Idaho Powen must find a way to pnofit in the era of solar,

pnices wiII only rise due to government negulations internalizing costs that wene formerly
externalized (i.e., cleanup), Ieaving Idaho Powen with stnanded costs. This is an oppontunityto learn how to do that.
They are good for our environment. Per the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC),
carbon dioxide emitted now will continue to disrupt the earth's climate for hundneds of years

Comment: Dear Commissioners:
Aften review of Idaho Powen's submissions to the PUC fon the Energy Sales Agneements with
Grand View So1an and Boise City, I would like to convey my suppont for these solan enengypnojects. SoIan energy, like aII energy sources, is not perfect but with recent significant
improvements in efficiency and when the tnue costs of carbon based enengy is factoned in it
becomes clean that solar should and will be part of the solution to clean and economical
energy for Idaho. f strongly believe that coa1, the dirtiest and most hanmful to our
environment, should be phased out of our resounce mix, and that ultimately the real costs of
coal will make that clear. We have abundant sunshine in Idaho for these pnojects. They will
benefit the local economy both in the shont and long tenm, they wi}l benefit both natepayens
and Idaho Powen in dealing with our energy needs, and they our good for the environment which
Idahoans so appneciate and why we ultimately live here. Thank you fon taking the time to

climate is changing, and so must we. Solar powen, wind power, items that use the powers of
natune can help not hinden oun success. Honestly it is not the idea of taking peoples jobs,it is the idea of creating better ones that also support clean and healthien living. Please
look at what can be done, please look at what has already been done. The definition of

Comment: Dean Commissionens :
I am a net metered solar customer who believes that solan powen would be a huge benefit to
Idaho, and we should be pnoactive in producing solan power at an industnial 1evel.
After neviewing Idaho Power's submissions to the PUC fon the Energy Sales Agneements with
Grand View Solar and Boise City, I would like to negister my support for these pnojects.
f support these pnojects wholeheartedly because they are:. Good fon natepayers. Good fon the economy. Good for Idaho Powen. Good fon our environment (fon us and future genenations)
They are good fon ratepayers. Idaho is blessed with some of the best solan resounces in the
United States, and solar energy is poised, as electnonics did, to get betten and cheaper.
Contrast this with coal, which will only get scarcen and mone expensive. I am thnilled to
see Idaho Power inconporating Idaho-genenated solar utility-scale powen into thein resource
mix. This will be an opportunity fon both Idaho Power and the Grand View and Boise City
providens to learn and to impnove future solan pnojects.
They ane good for the economy. These pnojects will pnovide an estimated 450 construction jobs
for L2 months, aften which they will employ maintenance professionals. This will cneate
additional local jobs and business opportunities in Idaho to suppont solar wonkens.
Landowners in Elmor e County will receive up to 35 years of payments, and Elmone County will
add over $+OO,o6@lyear to tax receipts. The U.S. solar industny employment gnew 53 percent
fron 2O7Q to 2Ot3, per a Solar Foundation 2OL4 report. Idaho can and should share in that
gnowth !
They ane good fon Idaho Power. Idaho Power must find a way to profit in the ena of solar,
wind, hydro and enengy consenvation + demand reduction to meet its powen obligations. CoaI
pnices wiII only nise due to govennment regulations intennalizing costs that were fonmerly
extennalized (i.e., cleanup), leaving Idaho Powen with stranded costs. This is an opportunity
to leann how to do that.
They ane good fon our envinonment. Per the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC),
carbon dioxide emitted now will continue to disrupt the eanth's climate for hundreds of yeans
after we are gone. The sooner we stop bunning coal, the betten. These are the first and
1
largest solar utility-sca1e pnojects to be built in Idaho! The L20 Ml{ genenated will power
an estimated 30,000 homes and reduce the need fon coal bunning. It will also neduce the
mencury, hydnocarbons, arsenic, Iead and othen toxic heavy metals genenated in the process of
burning coals, improving the health of Idaho, Nevada and Wyoming nesidents. Fnom a Climate
Change penspective, this will remove an estimated tSO.OOO tons of canbon dioxide per yean.
For this, we and future Idahoans thank you!
I wholeheartedly encourage you to approve this project.

Dean Commissioners:
I was pleased with Idaho Powen's recent submission to the PUC for the solan pnojects in Boise
and Gnand View. These projects wiII be a win-win situation aII anound. Ratepayers, Idaho
Power, local economies, and the envinonment will aII benefit. Other utility companies around
the country have shown that solan and wind powen pnojects can help the bottom llne fon the
companies, and the ratepayens.
Ratepayens will benefit because of the fixed costs of solan. The sun will neven cost
anything, while the cost of othen fuels will continue their nise, as they have fon decades.
Idaho is blessed with abundant sunshine, and the money will remain here in Idaho, rather than
being sent out of state where oun coal plants ane located.
Idaho Power will benefit, as they can learn how to profit in an ena of change whene coal
plants are going to disappear and be replaced by non-CO2 emitting energy sounces. The futureof coal plants is obvious, and as the consequences of climate change become even largen, the
urgency and demand fon change will become gneater'. Idaho Powen, and their rate-payers, must
be sure to not end up with plants they have invested lange sums in that will be stranded.
Local economies will also gneatly benefit by the jobs they create and the tax base they will
create. Duning constnuction, these pnojects will provide an estimated 450 constnuction jobs,
with jobs fon maintenance professionals continuing, as weII as jobs in businesses that
suppont these projects. Payments to landowners in Elmone County wilL continue fon up to 35years, and E1mone County will add oven $400,OOO/year'to tax receipts.
These projects will also benefit oun environment. Our ain will be cleaner, there will be
fewer emissions of mencury, Iead, ansenic, and othen heavy metals, which will impnove

Re: Idaho Powen -- Energy Sales Agreement with Gnand View Solan and Boise City, IPC-E-14-19

Dear Commissionens:
After reviewing Idaho Powen's submissions to the PUC fon the Enengy Sales Agreements with
Grand View Solan and Boise City, I would like to negisten my enthusiastic suppont fon these
fonward-Iooking projects !
These projects ane:
. Good fon Idaho. Good fon customens. Good for oun economy. Good for Idaho Power. Good for oun environment (fon us and future generations)
Idaho is blessed with some of the best solar nesources in the United States, and many of us
see solan energy getting better and cheaper with time. Coal and oil will only get scancen and
more expensive.
I am so excited to see Idaho Power incorponating Idaho-generated solar utility-sca1e power
into thein resounce mix! This is a great opportunity for Idaho Powen, Gnand View providers,
and Boise City pnoviders to learn and to improve future solan pnojects.
Idaho can and should take advantage of and benefit from the gnowth that can come with solar
powen pnojects. These projects wilI provide an estimated 450 construction jobs, then
malntenance pnofessionals, and pnobably even a few non-powen but related jobs. Then we'11 get
1
additional local jobs and business oppontunities. The U.S. solan industny employment grew 53
percent fron 2OtO to 20L3, per a Solar Foundation 20L4 repoct.
These pnojects would be good fon Idaho Power. Idaho Powen must find a way to pnofit in the
era of solan, wind, hydro and energy consenvation + demand reduction to meet its power
obligations. Coal prices wiII only nise due to govennment regulations intennalizing costs
that were fonmenly externalized (i.e., cleanup), leaving Idaho Power with stranded costs.
This is an opportunity to feann how to do that.
Solan power pnojects are good for oun envinonment. The soonen we stop bunning coal, thebetten! Pen the Intennational Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), canbon dioxide emitted now will
continue to disnupt the eanth's climate for hundneds of years after we ane gone. Let's
reduce the need for coal and the amounts of mercury, hydnocanbons, arsenic, Iead and othentoxic heavy metals genenated in the process of bunning coa1s, impnoving the health of Idaho,
Nevada and trJyoming residents. Fnom a Climate Change perspective, this will remove an
estimated LsO,OOO tons of carbon dioxide pen year. EVERYONE should be able to suppont this!
Idaho has something of a reputation for not being a forward-thinking, progressive p1ace.
These pnojects would be the first and largest solar utility-sca1e pnojects to be built in
Idaho and would go a long way towand changing that viewpoint.
PLEASE! Approve this pnoject!
Sincenely,
Elizabeth A. Beanden
