Comment: We care about the environment and want to do everything we can to address climate change. With that in
mind, we installed 18 solar panels in 2016 and added ten more in 2019. We purchased a plug-in hybrid, installed a
hybrid electric water heater, and use electric tools for everything including lawn mowinB and snow blowing. Next week
we are replacing our gas furnace with a high-efficienc"y electric furnace and heat pump.
We made these considerable investments assuming that ldaho Power would continue a program similar to the one we
invested in. lnstead, it looks like the company is planning to punish us for doing all we can to use solar power.
Allowing existing customers, those early adopters who recognized the need to move quickly to clean energy, to remain
in the original net metering program would be fair. Changing the rules drastically after we've made these investments
would serve only to penalize those of us who acted early and responsibly.

Comment: I am opposed to the reduction of solar power credit and the end of net one-to-one metering. My wife and I
have invested close to 530.000 in a solar panel system for our home and for you to approve that value to be reduced by
50% is unacceptable. The reduction to wholesale credit will NOT encourage ldahoans to go Breen. There are
approximately 4,000 home solar systems in ldaho and this makes up such a small percentage of the ldaho Power base
that the concern for insufficient payment for infrastructure is bogus at this time.
Rules should not be changed after ldaho citizens have made such an investment after carefully considering the costs and
benefits.
Existing solar generators should, at a minimum, be grandfathered in under the current rules and not be penalized. The
best course would be to have home solar encouraged to help reduce carbon emissions to the atmosphere.
