electric power and energy at other possible cogeneration and small power production locations in
Idaho. IdaHydro members all have Surrogate Avoided Resource pricing and Schedde 72

proceeding in that the prices it receives for electrical sales and costs it pays to Idaho Power may
be affected by the outcome of this proceeding.
3. IdaHydro intends to participate herein as a party and, if necessary, to introduce
evidence, cross-examine witnesses, call and examine witnesses, and be heard in argument. The

receives for electric sales and costs it pays to Idaho Power.
WHEREFORE, IdaHydro respectfully requests that this Commission grant its Petition to
Intervene in these proceedings and to appear and participate in all matters as may be necessary
