Name: Robert Marcinko
Submission Time: Oct 18 2022 7:46PMEmail: [e-mail]
Telephone: [phone]Address: 3315 Lundburg Ln
Pocatello, ID 83204
Name of Utility Company: Idaho Power
Case ID: IPC-E-22-22
Comment: "I do have solar panels on my Pocatello home that are connected into Idaho Power's system and will never have them pay me back for the installation cost in my life time.
I did it because it was the right thing to do. Idaho Power and all other utilities are corporations with a goal of making money, which is understandable. As such, regardless of their Green
Energy initiatives, they are fighting against private entities to have their own solar systems and are subtlety working to make it cost prohibitive to have private systems installed. The world is
in an energy crisis and only a commission of your status can help control the utility companies from continuing on this path. Somehow private entities need financial encouragement to
install solar systems and not be discouraged as they are getting to be more and more."

Dear Idaho Public Utilities Commission,
Please look carefully at the independent study conducted by Crossborder Energy, which points out several
shortcomings in Idaho Power's own study on the costs and benefits of customer-owned rooftop solar. Idaho Power
will use this study to justify trying to reduce compensation rates to solar owners. To arrive at fair rates, we first
need a fair study.
Crossborder's study states, "We conclude that Idaho Power?s choice of assumptions and calculation methods
significantly undervalue the five components that the utility quantified. We present our own calculations of an ECR
with these five elements. In addition, the VODER Study fails to quantify important benefits of distributed solar that
the Commission directed the utility to analyze in Order No. 35284 -- benefits that are known and measurable, will
impact rates, and will benefit Idaho ratepayers and citizens.?
Idahoans deserve solar rates based on a more fair and complete analysis. I urge you to reject Idaho Power's study
and look to Crossborder's study as a more accurate measure of the value (to ALL ratepayers) of customer-owned
solar power.
Sincerely,
Franny Cheston
