Comment:Idaho power has not demonstrated a greater demand by on site generation users.This is an
attempt to recover costs for servicesthat they get a benefit from.On site generation provides for a
more stable grid by providing electricity either all more and some that would typically be used at the
time the grid would be most vulnerable.The electricity is not traveling miles away in practical
application it flows next door to the neighbor that does not have on site generation.Idaho power gets
the benefit of not buying extra power.Instead they are seeing the writing on the wall,they are
attempting to make on site generation impractical as to keep people from moving from their service.
The IPUC should not allow idaho power to change rates on on site generation.They should keep the
same schedule as any residential/commercial customer as they only use what they can't produce.
Typically at night when demand is low.This is the same energy they would use in they were still a
residential/commercial user.As it stands now Idaho power makes demands to attach to the grid that
adds extra expense to customers.They draw out the new meter head for another month with their 10
business day inspection and then afterwards another 15 days to install the meter.25 days later (a whole
billing cycle)they finally allow a customer to use their onsite generation.Idaho power is trying to have a
monopoly when it comes to power instead of what is in the best interest for Idaho.Please don't let
them pull the wool over your eyes and tell them the people won't stand for it.
