Dear Idaho Public Utilities Commission,
Stop Idaho Power's quest for all the power (get it? Lol)!!
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,
Debbi Wallace-Even

Comment: "Our home and business are on Idaho Power and I do have a solar power system installed. It was quite costly and it will be forever before we see any payback on electricity
costs saved from it. Idaho Power, being a for profit corporation, continues to push back on consumers financial ability and desire to install personal solar systems for their homes and
businesses. Their concern that private systems will impact their ability to be profitable is ludicrous. The world is in an energy crisis and a climate crisis and people need encouragement
for the installation of private solar systems. You are the one and only organization that can help to make that happen. Do not allow Idaho Power or any other utility to discourage their
use through reduced payback on kw/hrs or any other means. "

Thank you for the opportunity to submit comments regarding case #IPC-E-22-22, IdahoPower Company’s application to complete the study review phase of the comprehensive studyof costs and benefits of on-site customer generation.
In its independent analysis, Crossborder Energy identifies a number of costs and benefits thatare quantifiable, measurable, and affect rates. After including these important variables andapplying sound analysis, they concluded the export credit rate should be much greater thanwhat Idaho Power concluded in its VODER study.
I encourage you to ask Idaho Power Company to redo the VODER study to include all factorsthat affect the price of customer generated solar power.
