2. The ana\'sis within the study must be non-discriminatoty, &lk, equiable, and credible.
3. For this & future studies to be ooadiscriminatory the study oust use the same methodologr
for all customers aad all resideotial classes. Thus sipifcant consideratioo must be given to
assure that the methodologr urilizsd io this sardy does not crerte a bias, discriminatory
affect when utilized oa other resideotid classes customers.
4. A study of approximately .2o/o of ldaho Power Companies (IPCt) customs base could
easily create e sigpificant bias within the study causing an inadvertent discrioinatory
outcofile.

5. The resideotial solar geoeratot must be coosidered a sub-class of all residential custorners,
and what applies to one applies to tte others. By the act of flipping e switch the resideotial
soler generating custdtrer m.y remove th& ggaaatioo system ftom grid md thus become
a gmeral residen'i"l customer.
6. The stuE must have a hl8h degree of traosparcocy rvith alt assuoptioos ideatified ard
footooted in a mmrer that is uoderstaodable by the geo.eral public. Failure to do so
eliminates transparency aod the ability of the pubic, if they so choose, to participate in a
tnovledgeable mmner.
7. The study must be digestible and undetstaadable by the general public.
8. This study appears to be premature, as a predecessor study regarding rate structures acrosE
all resideotial classes aeeds to be performed to set maoy of the hctors for this cost study.
We are stuck with the classic chickeo and the egg scenario. At a minim,m a general rate
study should occur simuhaneously with this study so the decisioo about assuoptions withia
both studies are made &oo a systemic (both rate aod cost) perspective.
9. The study's formdetion should be based on the future values vs only a historic based
aoalysis. (ie) Given future consumer dernand is hig[y likely to be greater the historic
consurner demand aad giveo dre nature of IPC's cost structurq the maiority being 6xed
costs, dre aoalysis must be based oo future vs past values, thus allocating the costs over a
oorc realistic basis. Basiog the study oo past values will poteotially create biases within the
study by allocating the cost burdea ioaccurately betweeo classes.
10. I fear drat aay cost study rhat does oot use a uoiform merhodology to evduate the costs for
dl classes within the IPC systern will be poteotidly cre.te a report that is biase4
discrimioatory, arrd uofair to some class.
VHEREFORE, the Kluckhohn's, custorners of Idaho Power, respectfully formdly
submit these cooneots to the Commission,
