UM 2292-1 11/2/2024 8:47:58 AM PACIFIC POWER Oppose Docket Web Sanie King-Haug OTIS To whom it may concern, I am a resident of Lincoln County, Or. I lost my home in the Echo Mountain Wildfire. I feel compelled to make you aware that, while PacificCorp says they have a robust wildfire mitigation plan in place, that plan has not been implemented in Lincoln County or in Polk County. I can provide you wit pictures of miles of power lines along Hwy 18/Hwy 22 that are buried in the trees and have been for years! It infuriates me that they can lie and get so many concessions from you guys when there is evidence everywhere that they are not doing what they say they are! Please don't let these ppl who have billions of dollars push our costs up for their non existent wildfire mitigation. We have been through so much, can we get a little break, please! I am happy to take as many pics as you would like to provide proof.
UM 2292-2 4/1/2025 12:32:32 AM 3/29/2025 9:42:06 AM General Comment Email twofivestars@everyactioncustom.com Dear Oregon Public Utility Commission, I am urging the Public Utility Commission to reject Pacific Power’s filing on the recent wildfire damages (UM 2292). The very communities affected by the wildfires Pacific Power was found responsible for should not be charged to cover damages. The court found that Pacific Power was reckless and grossly negligent, and included punitive damages meant to punish the company, not customers. Just by opening this docket, Pacific Power is showing that they are intending to avoid financial responsibility. Rates should only include costs that are prudent and reasonable. The jury found that Pacific Power’s actions were not prudent and reasonable. They should not be recoverable from customers. Sincerely, Ann Watters 1940 Breyman St NE Salem, OR 97301-4352 twofivestars@comcast.net
