Comment: "Re: October 20, 2022 request from Rocky Mountain Power to modernize residential electricity prices Dear Ms. Barratt-Riley, December 28, 2022 I am writing to
oppose the proposed request from Rocky Mountain Power to “modernize” residential prices. The proposed residential rate change would increase the fixed monthly customer service
charge and decrease the price per kWh. The fixed monthly service charge would rise from a current annual cost of $96. to $351. This practice would especially harm senior citizens on a
fixed income, as well as those Idahoans already struggling to pay rising bills. Under the current rate structure, customers have the choice to minimize their electricity usage to fit their
budget. Under the new rate scenario, customers will be forced to pay the higher cost regardless of whether they choose to conserve energy. The proposal seems to favor those that use a lot of
electricity, such as to charge electric vehicles, etc. It is better for Idaho to incentivize energy conservation rather than encourage customers to use more electricity. Please deny this
proposal from Rocky Mountain Power."
