The Snake River Alliance is represented in this proceeding by Ken Miller. Correspondence in

The Snake River Alliance's primary concem in this docket dealt with the possibility of
modifications to existing contracts between Idaho Power and entities with which is has signed
contracts during the course of modifuing wind integration charges. The Commission's Order No.
33030 indicates at P. 8 that, "While we decline to make a premature substantive finding on
whether it is legally permissible to modifu existing contracts, we find that it is fair, just and
reasonable to only apply changes prospectively. Therefore, we clarifr that any Commission
approved modifications to Idaho Power's wind integration rates and charges will only apply
prospectively - to new contracts as they are entered into by the parties and submitted to the
Commission for approval. This clarification should alleviate the concerns of many intervenors to
this case."
The Alliance therefore requests that the Commission grant its request to withdraw as an
intervenor in this case.
Respectfu lly submitted,
