AMANDA M. LEVIN, being first duly sworn upon oath, deposes and says as follows, to-
l. I am the expert witness who prepared and caused to be filed prefiled direct testimony
and rebuttal testimony on behalf of the intervening parties the Snake River Alliance, a
non-profit organization and the NW Energy Coalition, a non-profit organization
(collectively, the "SRA Intervenors") ln the Matter of the Application of Idaho Power
Company for Authority to EstablishNew Schedules for Residential and Small General
Service Customers with On-Site Generation, Case No. IPC-E-I7-13.

3. I have significant professional experience. In my current position at the NRDC, I focus
on analysis and advocacy around carbon and energy polices, decarbonization strategies,
energy efficiency, renewables integration, and wholesale market reform. I also serve as
an expert for NRDC and partner organizations in front of state utility commissions,
legislatures, and federal agencies. My research on electric restructuring, altemative
utility business rnodel design, and industrial energy efficiency pro$am design has been
published in a variety of academic press and journals. I also have served as a witness
in front of the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission and participated
in utility proceedings in the states of Virginia, New Mexico, North Carolina, and
Wisconsin.
4. My employer, the Natural Resources Defense Council ("NRDC"), agreed to have me
testiff on behalf of the SRA Intervenors without charging an expert witness fee due to
the NRDC suppoding the substance of the SRA Intervenors' positions in this case, the
national public interest in cases such as these, and the limited resources of non-profit
organizations like the SRA Intervenors.
5. However, the NRDC's costs of my participation in this matter have been billed to the
SRA Intervenors and have been itemized on the attached Exhibit A, incolporated by
reference herein.
6. Based on the necessity to travel to Boise from Washinglon, D. C. for the technical
hearing in this matter, I believe the costs set forth on Exhibit A are reasonable.
