Comment: I am flabbergasted to learn that ldaho Power is asking the PUC for a 50% reduction to the value of the credit I
receive on my bill for excess power Benerated by my roof top solar panels. This will greatly reduce the value of my
investment. lt is unfair to those who purchased their systems with the understanding that they would receive credit at
the market rate.

Comment: I am a solar business owner:
1. This settlement will destroy solar in ldaho and will force us to stop investing in ldaho Power territory by eliminating
1:1 net metering
2. Not grandfathering existing customers into 1:1 net metering is unfair to those who invested in solar under the
pretense of receiving 1:1 net metering

Comment: The solar industry is the future I am very excited to be a part of. The changes ldaho power are planning to
make will put me out of work along with all of my co-workers. I also planned to install solar panels on my own home as
an investment, saving, and also to do my part in helping the environment. The changes from ldaho power will also
prevent me from installinB my panels and restricts me from helping the environment in the ways I once could.

Comment: lf this proposal is approved, it will affect rates of ldaho Power solar customers. Although the rates won't
directly affect the utility rates I personally pay as a Rocky Mountain Power Customer, I believe it will still have a great
effect on me and my family. Working at a solar company, a dramatic change like this would inevitably influence the
vitality and momentum of the solar industry, directly impacting the stability of my employment. As the sole income
generator in my home, I take this very seriously.
Change in the conversion of solar credits, will reduce the financial return on the investment of solar. A large portion of
the areas we service will be affected by this credit alteration, thus causing entire areas-those serviced by ldaho Power-
to reap fewer benefits from the switch to solar energy.
By truncating the industry in this way, this proposal anhibits company growth and places an unanticipated cap on our
ability to help our neighbors enjoy better living and greater savings.
I feel that this move toward altering the credit conversion is heavily motivated by the utility company's fear of losing
customers to what I believe is a much more eco-friendly and stable form of energy. lt seems unjustified to penalize
those who choose to move toward energy independence, greater financial savings, and environmental stewardship.
I expect that this proposal be heavily revised, if not rejected, for the sake of ldaho Power Customers, myself and my co-
workers.

Comment: I oppose the proposed settlement with the rate changes for solar customers and demand that they be
grandfathered into 1:1 net metering. This is going to be affecting customers I have sold and set up, my future customers
and most importantly my job. I recently was promoted to be the branch manager for Pocatello and things were just
starting to get good. Now we have to travel all the way up into Rocky Mountain Power area in order to sit with
customers that we know the future of net metering. I don't know what the future of my branch will be with the
aggressive email that is being sent to all customers and l've worked incredibly hard to get here, and so this will affect my
life and my livelihood extensively. Please do not allow this greedy measure to pass.

Comment: lmade the decision to go solar based on the current net metering rules. this change without notice does not
take this into consideration. Please review the situation at least for existing customers that made decisions based on
different information. 1:1 net metering for existing customersforat leasta period ofl0yearswould beadequateand in
line with what other utilities have done when there have been changes to Net metering.

Wilder USA_lD, 83575
Name of Utility Company: ldaho Power
Comment: lam a current residential power Benerator and I understand that the power lBenerate from my solar panels
goes on to the power grid and I am under the Net Zero program with ldaho Power.
My concern is with the new rate changes for reimbursement from a Net Zero to a return of 8.7 cents/kilowatt hour
down to 4.4 cents/kilowatt hour will not continue my Net Zero. When I say Net zero I am still paying a S5.2o/month
connection fee to be connected to the grid.
Here are my concerns:
1) Will the current customers on the Net Zero program with ldaho Power have a permanent grandfather clause so that
no rate changes occur?
2) I bought my solar panels to have a fixed cost for electricity as lam nearing retirement and will have a fixed budget.
How does ldaho Power propose that I can budget or plan for retirement if I have to worry about ever increasing costs
when my retirement income will be fixed?
What ldo not see from ldaho Power other than another rate hike is information specifically showing why my free power
to ldaho Power cannot be kept at the current Net Zero rate:
1) The power generation helps offset ldaho Power's purchase of power during peak hours specifically during the summer
when air-conditioners are running.
2) lf more people elect to place solar on their houses what are the net affects? i.e. cost of ldaho Power not having to
building more generation plants or buying power from the open market.
3) lf there is too much power on the grid because of the individ ual generation why is it that ldaho Power cannot sell this
excess on the open market? I am pretty sure ldaho Power can predict any excess power generation based on the current
weather conditions.
4) Why doesn't ldaho Power create power storage facilities if there is excess power generation? I would imagine this
would have less environmental impact than building power generatinB facilities. What are these costs compared to
building power generating facilities? What is the true fixed costs of the power grid.
5) ldaho Power should encourage individual power generation because solar and wind are green sources and are bouBht
and maintalned by the individual homeowner (no expense to ldaho Power for either the power Beneration equipment
or the electricity generated).
Any feedback and schedules for meetings on this issue within Canyon County would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you -
Gene Foster

Comment: The 1 to 1 changes in the settlement that ldaho Power is proposing will greatly affect my job. I work for a
solar panel company called Horizonpwr and we have many customers that receive their power from ldaho Power.
Allowing these changes to take place will greatly limit the value and benefits of going solar in many areas. I ask that you
do everything you can to prevent these changes from happening.

Comment: I had a solar power electricity generatinB system installed on my home and it began operation in March,
2019. I paid for the system and its' installation in cash, at the cost of approximately 527,000.
lf some form of grandfather arrangement is possible to shield me from the losses I would suffer under the settlement
agreement I strongly urge that a customer like me be grandfathered so that the promised aBreement of solar powered
electricity sent to ldaho Power be remunerated at the full retail cost level.
I am willing to share my concerns directly if some manner of communication between members of the IPUC and myself
can be put in place.

lf I understand the letter I recently received from ldaho Power (concerning a settlement agreement regarding changes
to the compensation schedule for residential and small general service contractors who generate power on their own
site) the proposal might result in the compensation I currently receive for on-site generated power being more than
halved ultimately. lf I had known such a settlement was pending I would have objected to it in the strongest terms. I
was unaware that such talks were underway and that an understanding of my expectations was subiect to a ne8ative
change. I write you now to ask you to consider that such a compensation settlement is the equivalent of unlawful
seizure of financial gain reasonably anticipated by an ldaho Power customer.
