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, IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION, Case No. IPC-E-23-14 Page 3 Idaho Conservation League, Petition to Intervene and cross-examine witnesses.
