Comment: "August 21, 2022 Idaho Power Account number: 2203962085 To Whom It May Concern: My name is Clayton Armstrong and I have solar power for my home and shops. I
had the system built to supply enough power to zero out my power bill for both meters. The system does produce that amount of power. However, because of the way you require
customers to use their overproduction of power I do not get the benefit of my solar production in a timely manner. I feel it is not fair or equitable that your company gets the benefit of my
solar production of power every day, yet you require me to apply every year to transfer my over production of power to another meter. My question is why do I have to wait and why do I
have to apply every year if I want it to go to the same meter? If you get to use my power on a daily basis to power things, why should I not get the credit daily or at least monthly? It is my
solar system that is generating the power and I think it unfair and even dishonest that I have to wait for over a year to benefit from the power I am producing and the expense I incurred to
install the solar system. In addition to the above-mentioned concern, I support net metering without any other reduction. The customer should be compensated/credited at the same rate
for their generation of energy as they pay to purchase the energy. I respectfully request that you review your requirements and give a more fair and equitable approach to customers who
are producing and over producing power from their solar systems. It only seems fair that I not have to apply each year, incur another service charge and wait for over a year to benefit from
the power I am producing and that you are using on a daily basis. I would like to discuss this more with you and understand the legalities of how you approach this situation. Thank you for
your time, Clayton Armstrong "
