PETITION TO INTERYEITE
Kiki Leslie A. Tidwell hereby files this forrnal petition to interyene in the above-
referenced matterpursuant to Rules of Procedure 7l through 75 of the Idalro Public Utilities
Commissio& ID APA 31.01 .01.071-.075 and pursuant to that Notice of Intervention Deadline
orderNo. 35121. The basis of this PetitionTo lntervene is as follows:
1. The name and address ofthis Intervenor is:
Kiki kslie A. Tidwell
704 N. River St. #1
Hailey,ID 83333
(208)578-7769
ktinsv@cox.net
2. Tidwell was the developer ofanall-electric workforce housiqg apartment building
in Hailey, Idaho which was corryleted in June 2021 afr which also has a solar generation system
on its roof. As owner ofthe building, Tidwell effered into anet meteting agreement throughher
subsidiary rnanagement company, Patient Capital LLC, and Idaho Power furtlre solar production
PETITION TO INTERVENE - 1
for this btrilding, Silver River Place. All tenant unit meters were also retained under Patient
Capital LLC and tenant leases were gross leases including utilities. Tidwell is unique in Idaho to
have developed a multi-family apartment building utilizing solar net metering to benefit the
workforce housing tenants to lower their overall housing and utility costs. She has a valuable
perspective from atternpting to work with Idatro Power to share solar credits with tenant meters
and to install a microgrid at this building; Idalro Power's current rules do not enable such
microgrid systems nor sharing of solar production credits when tenants control the rneters under
their own names.
3. Idalro Power's current rules also do not allow for any credits to be applied against
meters except for at year end in a small period of time in January. When Tidwell sold the Silver
River Place building in July, Idatro Power informed Tidwell that all net metering credits were
lost as it was before year end. This basic flaw in existing rules needs to be brought to light and
addressed.
4. Tidwell claims a direct and substantial interest in this proceeding as she is
proceeding to develop more multifamily apartment buildings in Idaho with on-site generation
and net metering contracts. Unless Tidwell is permitted to intervene in this action, the Idalro
PUC and Idatro Power will be without Tidwell's valuable firsthand elperience as developer of an
all-electric muhi-family building with solar and battery and also as a 2Gr year investor in clean
energy technologies and cornpanies. She is knowledgeable about net metering rules and trends
in other states.
