Nuclear company, Alternate Energy Holdings in talks with Idaho utilities

AEH offers state’s big three first chance at power

The CEO of a company proposing to build a nuclear power plant in Owyhee County says he wants to give the state’s three major utilities first dibs at his electricity.

Don Gillispie, head of Alternate Energy Holdings http://www.alternateenergyholdings.com/ , said he’s met with representatives from Idaho Power Co., PacifiCorp, and Avista Corp. several times since August, when he sent the utilities letters offering them first chance at the power.

AEH is proposing a $4.5 billion, 1,600-megawatt merchant nuclear plant near Bruneau and is expected to begin a federal permitting process this year.
