In the interest of reducing costs to all parties, pleadings, testimony, briefs, production
requests, responses, notices, Commission orders, and other filings may be submitted via
electronic mail in accordance with Idaho Public Utilities Commission Rule 31.01.01.063.02-03.
ICL reserves the right to request hard copies of papers and documents, as may be necessary with
appropriate notice and time.
2. Idaho Conservation League claims direct and substantial interest in this proceeding in its
organizational capacity and on behalf of our members who are customers of Idaho Power. As
Idaho’s largest state-based conservation organization, ICL has approximately 11,000 members,
many of whom are residential customers of Idaho Power. ICL’s Boise headquarters and Ketchum
office are respectively Idaho Power Schedule 84 and Schedule 7 customers. Many ICL members
are customer generators, or interested in becoming customer generators. ICL intervened in
forgoing dockets on Idaho Power net metering and distributed generation policy in pursuit of its
organizational goal of electric grid de-carbonization. As a result, ICL and its represented
members claim a direct and substantial interest in ensuring Idaho Power provides a fair
compensation rate for exported solar and maintains policies that do not unduly burden distributed
energy customers. ICL’s intervention will respond directly to the issues raised in Idaho Power’s
application and will not unduly broaden the scope of this docket.
3. ICL intends to fully participate in this matter as a party. The nature and quality of ICL’s
intervention in this proceeding is dependent upon the nature and effect of other evidence in this
proceeding. If necessary, we may introduce evidence, be heard in argument, and call, examine,

and cross-examine witnesses. ICL may seek intervenor funding pursuant to IDAPA
31.01.01.161-165.
WHEREFORE, the Idaho Conservation League respectfully requests the Commission grant
this petition.
DATED this 8th of May 2023.
Respectfully submitted /s/ Marie Callaway Kellner
