Dear Idaho Public Utilities Commission,
I am very concerned about Idaho Power's newly published cost-benefit study on rooftop solar. It underestimates the
value of solar by intentionally excluding measurable environmental and related benefits. This impacts customer
rates and threatens fair compensation for Idaho families, businesses, farms, schools, and other local entities that
benefit from locally-owned solar.
Please hold in-person public hearings in multiple locations across Idaho Power?s service territory (and offer virtual
video options and a weekend option) to ensure as many people as possible can participate in this critical proceeding
and share their concerns directly with the Commission.
After gaining an understanding of public concerns and the technical flaws in the study, I urge you to reject Idaho
Power's study. Idahoans deserve solar rates based on a more fair, credible, comprehensive, and complete analysis.
Sincerely,
Amanda Grant

Dear Idaho Public Utilities Commission,
I want to see as much solar power as possible. Clean renewable energy is the way of the future.

Comment: "I am very dissapointed by the apparent underhandedness of Idaho power and the Idaho Public Utilites Commision in regards to their solar. I purchased solar with the intention
of it providing me with enough energy to suit my needs and allow it to pay for itself. Now with this study that was so full of misdirection, the letter that did not provide clear statements
as to the intent, and the fact that this page was so difficult to find seems intent of robbing me of my investment. The cost of the power genereated is the cost accoring to the use or the
charge, if you want to make those cost for the buildings, customer care, etc add it as a separate fee on everyones monthly bill. Do not short change the customers who are providing you with
extra energy while they themselves are having to sustain the cost for the equipment, land, and use. furthermore these actions will act as disincentive for those who may be interested in solar
as the savings cost would not be able to be accurately established or would even make it so that they would not be intereseted in installing solar. the fact that the letter was so vague this
site hard to find and submit feed back for indicates that you are more interested in making arbritray decisions and not interested in feedback. Did you even send the letter to non solar
cutsomers? this info needs to be clear as to your intent, sent to all idaho power customers, and then gather their feedback. people who may be thinking about going solar would have had no
imput in this decision. I am mantaining the cost of the facility to produce solar, I am the one producing power that I am selling to you at your rate. I am my own customer service when
you approach my house to read the meter and in my interactions with you. this seems like you are taking something and making it a non issue while trying to pinch pennies and not pay
people what they are worth while trying to be the good guy. I am happy with the service as is and see no need to change it. "

Dear Idaho Public Utilities Commission,
Solar Energy is the most important clean energy resource we can use. Everyone gets sun, and Idaho Power needs to
embrace replacing salmon-killing hydropower and climate-killing coal power with solar that everyone can share.
Every rooftop should have solar panels. I will be investing in solar panels, and if Idaho Power continues to penalize
a home owner?s solar input to its grid system, I will be forced to invest in battery banks and divest myself of Idaho
Power?s dirty energy scheme. You can do better by Idaho, and the time to act is NOW!
I am very concerned about Idaho Power's newly published cost-benefit study on rooftop solar. It underestimates the
value of solar by intentionally excluding measurable environmental and related benefits. This impacts customer
rates and threatens fair compensation for Idaho families, businesses, farms, schools, and other local entities that
benefit from locally-owned solar.

and share their concerns directly with the Commission.

Power's study. Idahoans deserve solar rates based on a more fair, credible, comprehensive, and complete analysis.
