Idaho Power has announced that, at the direction of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (IPUC), the company has filed a study analyzing the benefits and costs of on-site customer generation within the company’s service area. The study provides information that the IPUC, Idaho Power and other stakeholders will use to determine whether changes should be made to Idaho Power’s existing customer generation offering. The completed study, which opens case IPC-E-22-22, includes a review of methods to determine benefits and costs that come when excess energy is generated by on-site generation systems, such as solar and wind, that interconnect with the Idaho Power grid, the announcement stated.

Next, the IPUC will set a schedule to process the case and interested stakeholders will have an opportunity to submit public comments on the study. The study and supporting data are available here. To provide feedback visit puc.idaho.gov and reference Case No. IPC-E-22-22.
