Smaller generatorsneed to be considered in the upcoming request by Pacificorp for renewables. Smallergenerator I s should have access to green tags. Smaller generators diversify the powersupply and create economies of scale as a group. Conversely Pacificorp puts all our eggsin one basket. Therefore , if there is a request to purchase green tags , keep in mindthat these will not help small independent generators , for whom they were originallyintended.Second , if Pacificorp is collecting fees for green money, in Idaho , these fees should stayin Idaho. This provides the opportuni ty for in-state energy dependence and creation of
jobs.
Finally, any grant to allow increased access to wind power , via si ting and requirements
should be offset a comparable amount in hydro. This way, the water could be retained in
Idaho for other purposes rather than spinning turbines for California and the West cost.
This would also allow for timed flushes needed by migrating salmon.
