IV.
Idaho 'S/inds desires to participate in this proceeding with full rights of a party to, if
necessary, introduce evidence, cross-examine and participate in hearings or oral argument. The
exact quantity of evidence to be intoduced cannot be stated at this time, but Idaho Winds'
participation will not unduly broaden the issues or cause delays.
v.
Idaho Winds claims a direct and substantial interest in the proceeding because the
proposals contained in Idaho Power's Application, if approved, would have a material adverse
effect upon the Idaho Winds FESA.
u.
Idaho Winds believes that the nature and complexity of issues presented by Idaho Power
Company's Application are such that they would be best examined by a technical hearing. Idaho
Winds requests that the Commission schedule a technical hearing, preceded by an appropriate
period during which discovery may be conducted.
