I.e. they want what an entity needs and can use in the next 2-3 years, it’s also favorable if you already have bonding authority.

Discussion occurred regarding the Total ER percentages and the Phase 1, 2, 3 upgrades and how the capacity portion would be split up and paid for between the entities. 

The entities agreed to submit the following letter of interests to the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality for the initial phase construction costs.
