Facing overwhelming community opposition and a skeptical county government, developers of Idaho’s Vagabond Nuclear Reactor surrendered Tuesday and withdrew their rezoning application in Elmore County, retrenching instead to Payette County where their project is every bit as much a long shot.

1 15 Energy Update: Idaho Power Rate Moratorium, Energy Plan Report, AEHI, & Micron Goes Solar
By Liz Woodruff @ 5:37 PM :: 586 Views :: Clean and Renewable Energy, Bruneau nuclear reactor, Idaho Energy Updates
The Idaho PUC accepts an unusual settlement between Idaho Power and several customer groups that sets a moratorium on future rate cases until 2012. Meanwhile, the PUC and the Office of Energy Resources file their report to the Legislature on how they believe they are implementing Idaho’s 2007 Energy Plan, and the Payette County Planning and Zoning Commission approves a change to the county’s comprehensive plan that could allow for an eventual rezoning of property as a step toward development of a nuclear reactor. Finally, Micron Technology signs a deal with an Australian firm to get into the solar PV manufacturing business at Micron’s Boise campus.

By Liz Woodruff @ 10:24 AM :: 1441 Views :: Nuclear Power, Bruneau nuclear reactor, SRA News Releases
Contrary to a published report Sunday, the Korean government is nowhere near cutting a deal with itinerant Idaho nuclear reactor developer Don Gillispie and his Alternate Energy Holdings, Inc., and in fact a Korean government official said AEHI is likely too small a company to do business with.

Jan 8 Idaho Energy Update: Korea Gives Idaho Nuke Developer Reality Check
By Liz Woodruff @ 4:06 PM :: 815 Views :: Clean and Renewable Energy, Bruneau nuclear reactor, Idaho Energy Updates
Just five days after the would-be developer of an Idaho nuclear reactor touted an imminent deal to import Korean nuclear reactors to Idaho, the state-run Korean reactor manufacturer quickly denied the deal is in the works. Also, Idaho Power filed its 2009 “Integrated Resource Plan” with the Idaho PUC, outlining how it expects to meet future energy needs for the coming two decades. Idaho Power also reported to the PUC how it plans to manage the credits it receives from renewable energy projects. And the BLM has released proposed and alternate routes for the proposed Gateway West transmission project that will span southern Idaho.

The would-be developer of Idaho’s roaming nuclear reactor has told federal regulators his applications for various sites in Idaho and elsewhere won’t be filed until mid-2011 at the earliest – not this month as originally planned.

By Liz Woodruff @ 4:36 PM :: 611 Views :: Bruneau nuclear reactor, Idaho Energy Updates
Idaho Power and several of its customer groups are asking the Public Utilities Commission to bless an agreement in which the company would freeze new rate cases for two years in exchange for a piece of the annual power cost adjustment. On the nuke front, AEHI continues to play two counties against each other as it dangles its would-be nuclear reactor in front of both.

By Liz Woodruff @ 4:39 PM :: 662 Views :: Nuclear Power, Bruneau nuclear reactor, Idaho Energy Updates
The firm hoping to build a nuclear reactor in Idaho has turned its attention to a third site in less than three years – this time to Payette County, where billionaire Warren Buffett spent $13 million exploring a site only to walk away saying it didn’t pencil out. Also, you still have until Nov. 6 to weigh in on the important 6th Power Plan that will help guide the energy future for our region.

AEHI Takes Nuke Reactor Road Show to Payette County
By Liz Woodruff @ 3:58 PM :: 1032 Views :: Nuclear Power, Bruneau nuclear reactor, SRA News Releases
The would-be developer of a nuclear reactor on the Snake River in Elmore County now says he wants to build a reactor in Payette County, despite the fact billionaire energy tycoon Warren Buffett spent millions of dollars studying a Payette site only to conclude the project didn’t make economic sense. This is the third Idaho county Alternate Energy Holdings, Inc., has shopped for in its quest to build a reactor for which it has no money or property.

Nuke Developer to SEC: It Doesn't Look Good
By Liz Woodruff @ 3:49 PM :: 1171 Views :: Bruneau nuclear reactor, SRA News Releases
AEHI, the nuke developer wannabe in Elmore County, filed its required SEC form Aug. 14, and it's not a pretty picture. The company's report paints a grim picture of a company in obvious distress just a week after it announced it’s looking for another county or even state lands for the project. AEHI is short of cash, short of prospects for getting any cash, and now is casting around Idaho for another location for its reactor scheme. Even Sen. Mike Crapo says AEHI overstated his support for the project.

By Liz Woodruff @ 2:49 PM :: 728 Views :: Nuclear Power, Clean and Renewable Energy, Bruneau nuclear reactor, Idaho Energy Updates
The Northwest Power & Conservation Council was expected to release its long-awaited draft 6th Power Plan for public comment and review Tuesday, but members from Idaho and Montana blocked the release. And the Office of Energy Resources is taking proposals from cities and counties to fund “renewable energy enterprise zone” projects, while Idaho Power is holding a series of meetings in Idaho and Oregon to answer questions about its proposed transmission line from Canyon County to Boardman, Oregon. Finally, AEHI filed its most recent quarterly report to the Securities and Exchange Commission, and its outlook is shakier than ever.

ID Energy Update 8 7: Energy Plan Petition, Nuke Developer May Take a Hike
By Liz Woodruff @ 2:53 PM :: 800 Views :: Nuclear Power, Clean and Renewable Energy, Bruneau nuclear reactor, Idaho Energy Updates
There’s still time to jump online and join more than 1,000 clean energy advocates who have signed a petition encouraging adoption of key provisions of the 2007 Idaho Energy Plan. Meantime, the developer of a proposed nuclear reactor on the Snake River south of Mountain Home says he’s impatient with delays in Elmore County and is considering taking his project elsewhere. And the PUC has opened a case to consider rates paid by utilities to small power producers, while it also signed off on an Idaho Power contract to buy a power from a Magic Valley dairy digester.

AEHI May Take Its Vaudeville Nuke Scheme Elsewhere
By Liz Woodruff @ 3:04 PM :: 1121 Views :: Nuclear Power, Bruneau nuclear reactor, SRA News Releases
The would-be developer of a nuclear reactor on the Snake River says he’s so tired of Elmore County not giving in to his demands that he’s thinking of taking his Nomad Nuclear Scheme to another county that may be more accommodating. AEHI CEO Don Gillispie says "several Idaho counties and the state" have rolled out the red carpet for his reactor, although that comes as news to the state and he doesn't identify the counties.
