Please describe your comment briefly:
Please deny the Rocky Mountain Power Company request to reduce energy efficiency funding. I
have been a ratepayer in their area in the past and feel that there should be a level playing
field between utilities regarding investments in efficiency. It is not fair that I pay a
higher percentage at Idaho Power than Rocky Mountain customers do.
The form submitted on http://www.puc.idaho.gov/forms/ipucl/ipuc.html

Dear Idaho Public Utilities Commissioners,
I'm writing to ask that you DENY Rocky Mountain Power's request to decrease its energy
efficiency rider from 3.4% of customers' billed amount to 2.1%. This is no time to be
backing off energy efficiency programs in Idaho, which help individual customers and the
utility as a whole save energy, save money, and prevent the need to construct expensive power
plants and other energy infrastructure projects in the future, which often have serious
impacts on the environment and public health. I'm worried that by decreasing the funding
pool for Rocky Mountain Power's customer efficiency programs, the utility may not be
realizing the full potential of energy savings that could be achieved with those dollars.
Rocky Mountain Power should collect an adequate amount of money through its rider to continue
to provide robust efficiency programs for its customers and also allow room for growth and
innovation in those programs. It's hard to believe that the company is committed to
aggressively pursuing energy savings when it has asked to decrease its efficiency rider from
4.72% to 3.4% in 2011 and from 3.4% to 2.1% in 2012. Until we can verify that the utility is
chronically over-collecting funds to run its energy efficiency programs, the 2012 request
should not be granted.
Paying for efficiency NOW will prevent costs for other energy projects LATER and is the
least-cost, least-risk option for meeting our energy needs. Please assure me that you will
look out for the interests of all Rocky Mountain Power customers by maintaining the current
level of funding for efficiency programs via the rider on customer bills.
Thank you.

Dear Idaho Public Utilities Commissioners,
Please DENY Rocky Mountain Power's request to decrease its energy efficiency rider from 3.47.
of customers' billed amount to 2.1%. Energy efficiency is the most cost effective source of
new energy. Paraphrasing Ben Franklin, a kilowatt saved is a kilowatt earned. We can't have
"too much" efficiency. More efficiency means not having to build new power plants. That
is a formula for success for us ratepayers.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment.

Dear Idaho Public Utilities Commissioners,
Please DENY Rocky Mountain Power's request to decrease its energy efficiency rider from 3.4%
of customers' billed amount to 2.1%. This is no time to be backing off energy efficiency
programs in Idaho, which help individual customers and the utility as a whole to save energy
and money.
Efficiency programs prevent the need to construct expensive power plants and other energy
infrastructure projects in the future, which as they are now have serious impacts on the
environment and public health. By decreasing the funding pool for Rocky Mountain Power's
customer efficiency programs, the utility may not appreciate the full potential of energy
savings that could be achieved with those dollars. Is Rocky Mountain Power worried about rate
increases?-- is this the reason for their cheap move against energy efficiencies?
Rocky Mountain Power should collect an adequate amount of money through its rider to continue
to provide robust efficiency programs for its customers and also allow room for growth and
innovation in those programs. It's hard to believe that the company is committed to
aggressively pursuing energy savings when it has asked to decrease its efficiency rider from
3.47o to 2.1% in 2012. Peanuts! Until independent verification surfaces to prove that the
utility is chronically over-collecting funds to run its energy efficiency programs, the 2012
request should not be granted.
Paying for efficiency NOW will prevent costs for other energy projects LATER and is the
least-cost, least-risk option for meeting our energy needs. Please assure me that you will

Dear Idaho Public Utilities Commissioners,
I'm writing to ask that you DENY Rocky Mountain Power's request to decrease its energy
efficiency rider from 3.4% of customers' billed amount to 2.1%. This is no time to be
backing off energy efficiency programs in Idaho, which help individual customers and the
utility as a whole save energy, save money, and prevent the need to construct expensive power
plants and other energy infrastructure projects in the future, which often have serious
Impacts on the environment and public health. I'm worried that by decreasing the funding
pool for Rocky Mountain Power's customer efficiency programs, the utility may not be
realizing the full potential of energy savings that could be achieved with those dollars.
Rocky Mountain Power should collect an adequate amount of money through its rider to continue
to provide robust efficiency programs for its customers and also allow room for growth and
innovation in those programs. It's hard to believe that the company is committed to
aggressively pursuing energy savings when it has asked to decrease Its efficiency rider from
4.72% to 3.4% in 2011 and from 3.4% to 2.1% in 2012. Until we can verify that the utility is
chronically over-collecting funds to run its energy efficiency programs, the 2012 request
should not be granted.
Paying for efficiency NOW will prevent costs for other energy projects LATER and is the
least-cost, least-risk option for meeting our energy needs. Please assure me that you will
look out for the interests of all Rocky Mountain Power customers by maintaining the current
level of funding for efficiency programs via the rider on customer bills.
Thank you.
