Idaho Energy Update July 11: Nuke Plant Saga Continues

The saga of Idaho’s nomad nuclear power plant continues to drag on, with the plant’s developer offering up yet another would-be financial angel – but the missing ingredient is once again the money. Meanwhile, you can read the developer’s short note to Idaho Legislators in which he excused himself from appearing before the Interim Energy Committee at the last minute, saying he was “busy.” On the utility side, Idaho Power is asking the PUC for permission to buy about 83MW of summer peak power from Montana to deal with those high summertime loads, and the PUC will be holding a workshop this week to look into how to spend a half-million dollars made available when Idaho Power sold surplus pollution credits – a good thing. And the sale price for Intermountain Gas was $328 million. Read on for details on these and other energy issues.

Idahoans continue to react with alarm over reports that thousands of tons of weapons-contaminated sand are being shipped from Kuwait to Grand View in one of the priciest trash pick-ups ever; as well as reports that the Idaho Legislature was successful in rolling out the red carpet to a French firm that will import milled uranium into Idaho, produce nuclear fuel for power plants, and leave a mountain of dangerous waste at its proposed site outside Idaho Falls. Meanwhile, Canada-based Iogen, which Idahoans assumed was a lock to build a major cellulosic ethanol plant in Shelley, has shut down its Idaho operations and is headed back to Saskatchewan, where the subsidies are much greener.

With the 2008 Legislature in the rear-view mirror, attention is turning to a number of utility regulatory matters this spring and summer, as well as possible action by the Legislature’s interim Energy Committee. Meanwhile, the PUC has its plate full with Idaho Power’s request to increase its energy efficiency tariff, and it will also be considering whether to spend some extra pollution credit sales proceeds to Idaho Power to create an energy education program. And Ridgeline Energy received approval by the Bingham County Planning and Zoning Commission for its 150-turbine project east of Blackfoot.
