Comment: I oppose ldaho Power's proposal to reduce the rate of extra power generated and supplied to the grid by
solar customers. That seems to me penalizing people willing to spend their own money to benefit us all by reducing
reliance on fossil fuels. I someday hope to be among those solar power generators. Please be fair in net metering. To do
othenivise is not supporting, but instead deterring clean energy production. Thank you.

Comment: Greetings,
My wife and I are in the process of having solar panels installed at our cabin. The panels are going to offset our power
consumption by an estimated 59o/o f eat over year. The case in question is looking at whether commercial customers can
do the same thing or not based on ldaho Power not wanting to allow commercial customers to install solar to offset
power costs.
We believe that the commercial entity, not ldaho Power, should be the sole determining entity regarding whether
they should install solar or not to offset costs. Businesses are businesses and it is up to them to determine whether
making such a move is cost effective.
Our installation at our cabin will not break even with regard to cost for at least 15 years according to our initial outlay
and projected power consumption costs over that time. Businesses can do the same sort of evaluation themselves and
should be allowed to do so.
It is our view that anything we can do now to introduce relatively clean power into the ldaho power grid should be
fully utilized. According to the www.eia.gov web page, in 20L7 67% of ldaho power was produced in-state. The rest
came from out of state. With ldaho's current growth, I do not believe ldaho Power is keeping up with in-state power
generation needs and that the percentage of internally generated power will subsequently drop. Solar installations,
both residential and commercial, can help offset this and the cost of contracting for out-of-state power. To us, this is
both prudent and more cost effective than either building more power plants or bringing in more out-of-state power.
Thank you,
Bart and Laura Hill

Comment: ldaho Power should not be allowed to reduce the rate it credits for any extra power ldahoans generate. lf
ldaho Power truly supports cleaner energy it should provide incentives to customers who are independent and are
putting any excess energy on the grid. Net metering customers should be treated fairly. Don't let ldaho Power punish
customers who invested in solar. lt is our future.

Comment: We installed solar on our home last summer at a considerable expense. We now generate extra clean power
and want to simply be credited fairly for it. Reducing the credits we receive for that extra power is contrary to ldaho
Power's assertions that it has a commitment to clean energy. They should prove it by crediting net metering customers
fairly and support this important growing industry.

Comment: My family recently installed solar power generation in my home in Boise. The return on our investment was
a major consideration. I understand that ldaho Power is proposing to reduce the rate it credits for extra power
generated by net metering customers.
Please consider the fact that many ldahoans invested their own capital based on the reasonable assumption that net
metering customers would be credited at the same rate as any other customer. Net metering clients reduce the capital
ldaho Power must invest in electricity generation and contribute to clean energy production in ldaho. ldeally net
metering clients would receive a return on their capital in the form of a higher rate credit than typical clients. At a
minimum and in the interest of fairness, please consider maintaining the status quo that many ldahoans like me relied
upon in making their decision to install a rooftop solar system.

Comment: Seems ldaho Power wants to change/reduce net metering rates it credits customers who generate their own
electricity and have some to sell. I see no good reason for this and would consider it an unfair practice. ldaho Power
says it supports clean energy yet a rate cut seems a discouragement for consumers to invest in a system. I applaud
those who have taken the initiative to make our world a better place. Often ldaho Powers' actions and intents do not
align with their public claims. I hope a cut/reduction will not be allowed. Thank you.

Comment: After making a large investment with Solar Power, I now hear that ldaho Power wants to treat solar
customers different with a rate that is not as friendly as other customers get. I do NOT think this is right.
