The Idaho Public Utilities Commission announced it will hear oral arguments between Boise-based Exergy Development Group, the developer of four proposed Cassia County wind projects, and Rocky Mountain Power on June 9. Exergy filed a complaint against Rocky Mountain, arguing that its planned wind projects near Malta should receive a higher rate from Rocky Mountain. Rocky Mountain filed a motion to have the complaint dismissed, alleging Exergy does not have the necessary interconnection and wheeling agreements with Raft River Electric Cooperative and the Bonneville Power Administration needed to deliver the wind projects’ output to the Rocky Mountain territory.
