BEFORE THE
IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
IN THE MATTER OF THE PETITION OF
IDAHO POWER COMPANY TO STUDY THE
FIXED COSTS OF PROVIDING ELECTRIC
SERVICE TO CUSTOMERS.
CASE NO. IPC-E-18-16
PETITION TO INTERVENE
OF RUSSELL SCHIERMEIER AND
PROCEDURAL COMMENTS
COMES NOW, Russell Schiermeier hereinafter referred to as "Intervenor," and pursuant
to this Commission's Rules of Procedure, Rule 7l IDAPA 31.01.01.71 hereby petitions the
Commission for leave to intervene herein and to appear and participate herein as a party, and as
grounds therefore states as follows:
1. The name and address of this Intervenor is
Russell Schiermeier
29393 Davis Road
Bruneau,Idaho 83604
Telephone: [phone]
[e-mail]
Copies of all pleadings, production requests, production responses, Commission orders
and other documents should be provided to Russell Schiermeier as noted above.
2. This Intervenor, Russell Schiermeier owns and operates farming operations in
Owyhee County, Idaho that currently host several net metering and potential net metering sites.

3. This Intervenor 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 nature and quality of evidence which this Intervenor will introduce is dependent
upon the nature and effect of other evidence in this proceeding.
5. Without the opportunity to intervene herein, this Intervenor would be without any
means of participation in this proceeding which may have a material impact on their ability to net
meter electrical production.
6. The Intervenor timely petitioned to intervene in Docket No. IPC-19-15 and is
concurrently petitioning intervene in Docket No. IPC-E-I8-15. It has become apparent as the
IPC-E-I8-15 and IPC-E-I8-16 cases have evolved that, in order to fully evaluate the issues and
discovery responses and requests that are relevant to all three dockets, that Party status in all
three dockets will be necessary. In addition, it is my understanding that confidential settlement
discussions may be taking place on issues that overlap all three dockets. Granting Russell
Schiermeier intervenor status out of time in this docket will not result in disruption of this
proceeding, prejudice existing parties, nor unduly broaden the issues presented in any of the
dockets. Russell Schiermeier agrees to be bound by and comply with all previously issued
scheduling orders, and the discovery process in place in this matter.
IPC-E-18-16
WHEREFORE, Russell Schiermeier respectfully requests that this Commission grant
his Petition to Intervene in these proceedings and to appear and participate in all matters as may
be necessary and appropriate; and to present evidence, call and examine witnesses, present
argument and to otherwise fully participate in these proceedings.
