:: Nuclear Power, Bruneau nuclear reactor, Action Alert!

My name is Liz Woodruff. I was new to the Snake River Alliance staff in spring 2008 as Alternate Energy Holdings (AEHI) was moving up river from Owyhee to Elmore County. At the very first meeting held by AEHI in Elmore County, at Mountain Home High School, I sat next to a quiet gentleman who had the look of a farmer.

Idaho Power wants the Public Utilities Commission to sign off on contracts with six more wind farms in the Mountain Home area, while the PUC also recently approved another 80MW wind contract for a wind farm in eastern Idaho. Meanwhile, the PUC is taking public comments on a request by Idaho Power to return proceeds from the sale of surplus pollution allowances mostly to customers, with a small amount going to shareholders. And the PUC is also holding public meetings this month on a requested rate hike by PacifiCorp, best known in Idaho as Rocky Mountain Power.

Developers of a planned nuclear reactor in Payette County had a tough week, with two investor-oriented news organizations raising questions about the company’s ability to pull off its plan. Meanwhile, Owyhee County’s first big wind project was presented to the county’s planning commission with strong support from county residents, many of whom are farming and ranching the 5,000 acres where the turbines would be sited. At the PUC, the Commission approved the first solar contract with Idaho Power as well as a proposal by Intermountain Gas to reduce rates due to reduce gas prices and demand.

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.

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.
