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,
Corry Schafer
