Wind, LLC (Rainbow West) (collectively, Petitioners) filed a petition

initiate an enforcement action against the Idaho Public Utilities 
Commission (Idaho PUC) to remedy the rejection of (1) a Firm energy 
Sales Agreement between Rainbow Ranch and Idaho Power Company (IPC) and 
(2) a Firm Energy Sales Agreement between Rainbow West and IPC. In the 
alternative, Petitioners request that the Commission make specific
