Calling All Clean Energy Advocates! Every day Idaho legislators in the Statehouse learn about, debate, and vote on issues that impact the lives of Idahoans across the state. Elected lawmakers make these decisions on behalf of their many constituents, but in order to do this well, they need to hear from those constituents. They need to hear from YOU.

Nov. 22 Idaho Energy Update: Tough Day for State Energy Plan
By lwoodruff @ 4:54 PM :: 383 Views :: 0 Comments :: Clean and Renewable Energy, Idaho Energy Updates, Action Alert!
Clean energy advocates are starting to wonder whether the Legislature is cooking up a turkey in the form of a revised Idaho Energy Plan. Lawmakers voted repeatedly Monday to weaken provisions in the 2007 Idaho Energy Plan as part of their five-year rewrite of the plan. Idaho wind developers are considering their next move in the wake of a surprising ruling by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission that the PUC erred in refusing to accept more than a dozen wind contracts with Idaho utilities. Meanwhile, the PUC is accepting comments on Avista utilities Integrated Resource Plan, and there’s a Dec. 5 hearing on Idaho Power’s big general rate case. In other news, Hoku Materials has finally plugged its huge Pocatello polysilicon plant into Idaho Power’s system, and Gov. Butch Otter signed an order to extend the life of the Office of Energy Resources.
