Comment: "We would like to ask that you consider expanding the grandfathered period for customers who have already committed to solar - based on the information we had available at
the time that no plans were in place to change the 1:1 net metering program. This has been a huge investment for us and for other people in the valley. Idaho Power has not made it easy to
learn about this proposal or the effects of the changes on the public. Changes to the net metering program should not impact customers who have already invested in solar - current
enrollees in the net metering program should not be impacted by changes to the buyback agreement. We did our due diligence into making this investment. Any changes to the net-
metering program should apply to those customers who move to solar after the change is implemented. That way Idaho Power are making decisions re solar based on the current status.
It is terrible for customers who made huge financial commitments based on the 1:1 agreement, unaware that Idaho Power had plans to make changes to this agreement. We will be left
holding the bag. Idaho Power case states that the 2% of Idaho power customers who are on solar are being subsidized by the 98% of customers who are not. This does not take into
consideration the enormous investment burden that is taken on by residential solar customers. I would propose that this same 98% of the Idaho Power customer base have not made a big
investment for green energy, taking on the enormous risk associated with purchasing, installing, and maintaining solar on their property. There must be some protection for
customers who committed to solar before this proposal is implemented."
