Comment description: As a potential wind farmer investor, I completely support the
Schwendiman Wind Farm contract without the 90/110 performance band. Small wind projectsare tremendous for rural economic development in Idaho and provide distributed generation
where needed-in remote agricultural areas. The 90/110 performance band makes these smallproj ects not viable from an investor s standpoint - the penal ties are too severe and makethe proj ect too risky. It is really time that Idaho s PUC support small wind proj ectsrather than continuing to set the large power companies such as Idaho Power and Pacificorp
up to be the only ones possible to build wind proj ects. By reinforcing their monopolies,you are doing a disservice to the state of Idaho.
