AND NECESSITY FOR THE RATEBASING OF )
THE BENNETT MOUNTAIN POWER PLANT. ) ORDER NO. 29410
On September 26, 2003, Idaho Power Company filed an Application for a Certificate
of Public Convenience and Necessity to construct a new generating plant in Mountain Home,
Idaho pursuant to Idaho Code § 61-526. This statute prohibits any electrical corporation from
constructing a generating plant "without having first obtained from the commission a certificate
that the present or future public convenience and necessity require or will require such
construction." The Company also sought expedited approval and authority to rate base the cost
of the plant. On October 22, 2003, the Commission convened a prehearing conference.
Intervention was granted to the Industrial Customers of Idaho Power and to the Idaho Irrigation
Pumpers Association.
In Order No. 29370 issued October 30, 2003, the Commission issued a Notice of
Modified Procedure soliciting public comment on the Company's Application. In response to
this Notice, the Commission Staff, the Advocates for the West, and one customer submitted
timely comments. Idaho Power and Mountain View Power each submitted reply comments.
After reviewing the Application, the comments and the replies, we issue this Order granting the
requested Certificate as set out in greater detail below.
THE APPLICATION
A. Future Necessity
Idaho Power maintains that its decision to construct a new generating plant results
from its 2002 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP). In general, the IRP process evaluates the
Company's future loads and resources and the various options for meeting projected loads. The
combination of options for meeting load include: (1) purchase of power -from the regional
wholesale market; (2) acquire additional generating resources; (3) implement pricing options to
dampen peak loads; and/or (4) implement Demand Side Management (DSM) or conservation
ORDER NO. 29410 1

price factors included: on-line start date of June 1, 2005; dispatchability; performance guarantee;
experience of the bidder; delivery assurances; maintenance scheduling; etc. For bids that used
natural gas as fuel, gas prices were assumed to be $4.52 per MMBtu in 2005 and were escalated
throughout the life of the project based on price forecasts available to the Company. Id. at 5.
The same gas price was utilized for all natural gas-fired project proposals. Eventually the bids
were narrowed to two finalists: the Mountain View Power project and the Company's self-build
project. The Company's RFP evaluation team recommended and the Company's Board of
Directors selected Mountain View Power as the successful bidder to build a new generating
plant.
C. The Proposed Plant
The proposed Bennett Mountain plant will be a nominal 162 MW natural gas-fired,
simple-cycle power plant to be located on about 10 acres within the Mountain View Industrial
Park in Mountain Home. The Industrial Park is located on the north side of I-84 and west of
State Highway 20. The plant will utilize a single Siemens Westinghouse Model 501F
combustion turbine. The plant site is also large enough to accommodate an additional future
generating unit. The Bennett Mountain plant could be modified to operate as a combined-cycle
plant at some point in the future. The Bennett Mountain site is approximately four miles
southeast of Idaho Power's Danskin generating plant. Application at 3.
Mountain View has contracted with Siemens Westinghouse to furnish all of the labor,
equipment and materials, and to perform all of the engineering and construction of the proposed
project. Upon completion of construction and the necessary performance tests,title to the project
will transfer from Mountain View to Idaho Power. The plant is currently scheduled to be
available to meet peak loads in the summer of 2005. If approved, the plant will be operated to
meet peak-hour loads in the months of June, July, August,November and December.
Williams Northwest Pipeline will supply the natural gas necessary to fuel the plant.
The pipeline currently passes less than one mile from the plant. For Bennett Mountain to access
the pipeline, an interconnecting pipeline of approximately 3,400 feet will need to be constructed.
Mountain View's bid included an 8-inch diameter pipeline. Idaho Power and Mountain View
are currently investigating increasing the pipeline size from 8-inch to 12 or 16-inch in diameter.
A 16-inch diameter line would be sufficient to fuel two 162 MW units and also reduce the
pressure drop between Northwest Pipeline and the Bennett Mountain plant.
ORDER NO. 29410 3

ISSUES AND FINDINGS
The Commission received comments from a Boise customer, the Advocates for the
West, and the Staff. Idaho Power and Mountain View filed individual reply comments that
addressed the Advocates and Staff comments. The one public commenter questioned the
wisdom of building the natural gas plant when natural gas prices may go up. He also alleged that
the Company has shown poor management foresight in the past. He suggested that ratepayers
should not be required to pay for the plant until it is constructed and operational.
A. Stay and Consolidation
In its Application, Idaho Power requested that the Commission expeditiously process
this.case. More specifically, the Company requested that the Commission issue its Order in this
matter on or before December 31, 2003. Application at 6. The Company's Agreement with
Mountain View contains a construction schedule that may require modification if the
Commission has not made its decision prior to December 31. In addition, the Company stated
that the prices contained in the Agreement are time sensitive.and the Commission's failure to
issue a timely Order may"potentially [affect] the pricing for the Project." Id.
The Advocates for the West questioned the reasonableness of processing this case on
an expedited schedule. If the project is approved, they claimed it will significantly increase rate
base separate and apart from the Company's current rate case (Case No. IPC-E-03-13). They
also argued that this case be stayed until Idaho Power files its peak-load management study and
implements DSM/peak-load programs. Comments at 3. Consequently, the Advocates
recommended that the two cases be consolidated and this case stayed. "A five month delay
under these unique circumstances is entirely reasonable." Id. at 1.
Idaho Power opposed the Advocates' request for a stay and consolidation for two
reasons. First, the Company asserted that the equipment prices and bid price from Seimens and
Mountain View are only valid until December 31, 2003. Idaho Power noted that the
Commission Staff observed that a favorable turbine price was obtained because of the surplus of
generators in the market. Second, combining or consolidating this case with the general rate case
would add a new and major issue to the rate case. Introduction of this significant issue at this
stage of the rate case would be unreasonable. Idaho Power Reply at 2.
Commission findings: We deny the request that this case be stayed and
consolidated with the Company's general rate case for several reasons. First, the primary focus
ORDER NO. 29410 5

3. Staff. In its comments, the Staff indicated that it believed adoption of the 70th
percentile water condition is appropriate. Staff Comments at 4. It asserted that Idaho Power's
adoption of a more conservative planning criteria was prudent. Using this new criteria, Staff
noted the Company had prepared new load forecasts analyzing future loads and resources. The
Staff asserted these forecasts show that Idaho Power will be deficient during both the summer
peak (June-July) and the winter peak (November-December) in 2004 through 20.11. Staff
Comments at 5, Attch 1-3. Even with the additions of the Danskin and Bennett Mountain plants
and the loss of the Astaris load, "the Company expects to have significant summer and winter
[resource] deficits." Id.
Compounding the problem of the load deficiencies is the issue of transmission
constraints. The Staff observed that Idaho Power will experience summer transmission
constraints beginning in 2007 under normal water and load conditions. Staff Attch. 4-6.
Transmission constraints were in part the reason why Idaho Power eliminated two of the .11 RFP
bids.
Commission Findings: The Advocates argued that the Company's 2002 IRP does
not give any reasonable basis to support construction of the Bennett Mountain plant. However,
upon closer scrutiny, their argument is not so much with the forecast of peak-resource
deficiencies, but with Idaho Power's solution for addressing the peak loads beginning in 2005.
They fault the Company for relying on generating resources — rather than non-generating
alternatives—to meet these deficiencies. .
Based upon this record, we find that the Company has adequately demonstrated that
there is a need for future power to meet the projected peak loads beginning in 2005. We further
find that no commenter has disputed that the Company will experience peak load deficiency in
the future. Consequently, we find that Idaho Power will experience peak-load deficiencies in the
summer and winter beginning in 2005.
C. Meeting the Public Need
1. Idaho Power. To address the peak-load deficiencies, Idaho Power proposed to
acquire additional generating resources through the 2003 RFP process. The Company relied
upon its 2002 IRP which included an assumption that the Company would purchase up to 250
MW of capacity from the [now abandoned] Garnet plant. This capacity was to be acquired in the
summer of 2005. In response to its February 2003 RFP seeking bids to supply between 85 and
ORDER NO. 29410 7

continuing need for additional resources similar to Bennett Mountain. Id. at 30. In addition to
the previously authorized air conditioning pilot program, Staff noted other load management
programs that warrant the Company's serious attention include water heating, energy
exchanging, and load shifting programs for irrigation customers.
Staff was critical of the Company's failure to embrace load shifting and alternative
rate designs to reduce peak-load demands. Staff characterized the Company's evaluation of
alternatives as only looking "at the immediate costs and revenues associated with the programs,
and failing to consider long-term impacts." Id. at 32-33. In Staff s view, a program that reduces
critical peak hourly demand "has great value, especially if peak hourly demand is what dictates
Idaho Power's need for new generation. The value of reducing critical peak hour demand equals
the value of eliminating or deferring the need for new generation." Id. at 33.
3. The Advocates. The Advocates did not argue that Bennett Mountain is not a cost
effective supply resource. Instead, they generally asserted Idaho Power has not adequately
explored other options to the proposed power plant. In particular, they recommended that peak-
load management programs should have been seriously examined. Comments at 2. Although
the Company has reportedly been studying peak-load management options for over a year, the
study is not complete. The Advocates suggested that all cost-effective, peak-load management
or load reduction resources should be fully explored before the Commission considers
authorizing the Bennett Mountain proposal. Consequently, the Advocates requested that the
Commission stay this case pending release of Idaho Power's peak-load management study and
implementation of cost-effective programs for peak management. Id.
The Advocates also fault the Company for not requesting bids for other kinds of
generation resources, including wind power. The Advocates maintained that wind power costs
"about 03 cents/kWh (or about 4 to 4.5 cents without the federal production tax credit)" and is
comparable to Bennett Mountain's first year fuel costs of 5.7 cents/kWh (based upon
$4.52/MMBtu). The Advocates -asserted that wind is a "cost-competitive resource alongside
natural gas even for targeting peak load needs." Id. at 3.
4. Idaho Power Reply. In response to the Advocates' criticism of the RFP, Idaho
Power stated that the RFP was open to all generating technologies, including wind. Idaho Power
also asserted that its 2004 IRP planning process will address the benefits of DSM and
renewables, peak-load management programs, and gas price volatility. Idaho Power suggested
ORDER NO. 29410 9

$44.6 million and the Commitment Estimate for the project is $54 million. Application at 7.
The difference between the base price and the Commitment Estimate includes costs such as:
sales taxes; AFUDC on progress payments made to Mountain View during construction; the cost
of Idaho Power oversight; the cost of capitalized start-up fuel; construction change orders; and
other unforeseen events.
The Commitment Estimate also does not include legally required equipment changes
(e.g., requirements to comply with new air quality laws) and for escalations in assumed forecasts
such as inflation. Idaho Power stated it will absorb the extra cost of the project that exceeds the
Commitment Estimate. The Company will include in its Idaho rate base only the amount of
actual costs incurred 0 to the Commitment Estimate.
The Commitment Estimate does not include the costs of connecting the plant to the
Company's transmission system. Idaho Power is currently evaluating how the plant ought to be
connected with the Company's existing transmission system. Depending on the outcome of
these studies, one of two alternatives will be implemented to upgrade the transmission line
between Mountain Home and Boise. The more costly upgrade plan will cost approximately
$11.6 million while the least costly will be about $5.5 million.
2. Staff. Staff stated that the Commitment Estimate for the project is reasonable.
While the Staff believed that the Commitment Estimate is reasonable, the Staff recommended
that the authorized capital costs for the Bennett Mountain project be limited at this time to $44.6
million. Staff suggested that the costs above the $44.6 million contract—up to the Commitment
Estimate of $54 mullion—should be subject to scrutiny iri a future proceeding once the plant
becomes operational. The Staff agreed with the Company that the actual cost of the contract
above Mountain View's bid cannot be quantified with precision at this time. Application at 4;
Staff Comments at 18. Consequently, Staff recommended that these expected costs (up to a
maximum of$9.4 million)be subject to audit by the Commission Staff. Staff also recommended
that Idaho Power should be required to provide the Commission with periodic percentage
completion and cost expenditure reports, and that rate base consideration of the costs above the
base price should be withheld until after the project is constructed and the audit completed.
Commission Findings: We find that in the ordinary course of events, Idaho Power
may anticipate ratebasing $44.6 million, the amount of the Mountain View bid. The reasonable
and prudent actual costs incurred above that figure cannot be quantified with precision at this
ORDER NO. 29410 11

that one solution would be for Idaho Power to internalize any cost of hedging and offer a "long-
term fixed-price electricity contract, much like renewable energy typically provides." Id. at 5.
3. Staff. Staff recommended recovery of fuel costs in the annual PCA. The Staff
indicated that Idaho Power has not yet negotiated or entered into any agreements for the
purchase of natural gas for the Bennett Mountain plant: However, in general, the approach Idaho
Power intends to pursue includes: (1) resourcing fuel from several geographic areas; (2)
staggering the terms of gas supply agreements if multiple agreements are executed; (3)
incorporating a mixture of forward and spot purchases; and (4) utilizing a combination of firm
and non-firm or released transport capacity. Idaho Power has already purchased firm fuel
transport rights that can be used for both Danskin and Bennett Mountain projects. Significant
transport rights to serve the Bennett Mountain plant are available without an expansion of the
Williams pipeline.
Staff also recognized that Idaho Power claims it employs a hedging strategy when
purchasing natural gas for the Danskin plant. The Company intends to develop its fuel
procurement strategy for both natural gas and transport capacity as well as .expand its hedging
guidelines and risk management strategies to cover both Danskin and Bennett Mountain. Staff
Comments at 14. Management of the Company's fuel supply will either be done by its own
personnel or in conjunction with a third party. Staff recommended that hedging strategies be
discussed at the next Risk Management Customer Advisory Group meeting.
Commission Findings: While we recognize that gas prices significantly contribute
to the levelized cost of energy from a new natural gas generating plant,we find it is reasonable to
allow the Company to recover its fuel cost through the PCA mechanism. In Order No. 28799 we
allowed recovery of fuel costs for the Danskin plant in the Company's annual PCA rates. We
find that similar treatment here is reasonable. Although we decline to lower the fuel recovery
below 90%, we expect the Company to utilize hedging guidelines and risk management strategy
to mitigate the volatility of fuel prices for both Bennett Mountain and Danskin. We shall review
the Company's hedging and risk management strategy when it seeks recovery of fuel costs in the
PCA proceeding.
F. Miscellaneous Issues
1. AFUDC. Staff observed that recovery of AFUDC is typically allowed only in
instances where the utility itself is constructing new generating plant. In this case, however,
ORDER NO. 29410 13

Mountain View also responded to the Staffs TIF comments. Mountain View
asserted the Staff was in error in assuming that TIF financing remains a component of Mountain
View's bid. Mountain View explained that the TIF component was contained in its original bid
but this bid was subsequently revised. Mountain View Reply at 1. Mountain View indicated
that it currently "carries 100% of the risk that TIF funds will not be available, in some amount
less than MVP's revised TIF estimate." Id. at 2.
As an alternative,Mountain View supported Staff s recommendation"provided that it
is revised to address both reward and risk concerning TIF." Id. (emphasis original). If TIF
funding is available for project infrastructure, Mountain View will share that bonus with the-
Company as a.reduction to the contract price. Mountain View offered the Staff full TIF audit
rights.
Commission Findings: Given Idaho Power's statement that it and Mountain View
have deleted Section 2.3.b(iii) of their Agreement, there is no need to address this issue.
Deleting this portion of the Agreement eliminates any risk to ratepayers that the base price of the
project could increase as a result of TIF fmancing.
3. Sales Tax. The Staff assumed that the gas turbine was to be purchased from the
secondary market. Consequently, Staff suggested that sales tax may not be assessed on the cost
of the turbine. Staff Comments at 26-27. Staff did not object that sales taxes be included in the
Company's Commitment Estimate. Mountain View asserted in its Reply that the Staff erred in
assuming the generator was to be purchased in the secondary market. -
Commission Findings: The Company and Staff generally agree that sales taxes on
the project will be recoverable and are included' in the Commitment Estimate. The
misunderstanding concerns whether the turbine was acquired in the secondary market and, thus,
possibly exempt from sales tax. As Mountain View explained, the turbine "is a brand new unit"
and may be subject to sales tax. We find no dispute here.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
Idaho Power is an electric corporation subject to the regulatory jurisdiction of the
Commission. The Commission has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to Idaho Code §§ 61-
526 and 61-528.
We find that the future public convenience and necessity requires the construction of
the Bennett Mountain project to be located in Mountain Home, Idaho.

IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION OF )
IDAHO POWER COMPANY FOR AN AMEND- ) CASE NO. IPC-E-95-6
MENT TO CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC )
CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY NO. 272 ) ORDER NO. 26107
On June 2, 1995, Idaho Power Company (Idaho Power; Company) filed an
Application with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (Commission) requesting an amendment
to its Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity No. 272 deleting its prior authorization
to construct a new 138 kV transmission line from the Wood River substation to the Ketchum
substation in Blaine County. The prior authorization was obtained from the Commission in 1973
in Order No. 11315, Case No. U-1006-89. The purpose of the proposed line was to provide
backup service for the existing Wood River/Ketchum 138 kV transmission line which runs along
the east end of the Wood River Valley.
Based on an extensive reassessment of the feasibility and need for an additional
138 kV Wood River/Ketchum transmission line, the Company concludes that the line is not
needed. The reassessment study performed by the Company includes a review of both the
capacity requirements and the reliability requirements for Idaho Power's electric service to the
Ketchum/Sun Valley area.
Regarding capacity, the Company contends that based on current projections the
existing 138 kV Wood River/Ketchum transmission line has sufficient capacity to meet the area's
electric needs for the foreseeable future. The Company states that it will continue to monitor
area load growth and make modifications when necessary.
Regarding reliability, Idaho Power reports that it has thoroughly reviewed the
reliability of its electric service to the Ketchum/Sun Valley area. The Wood River/Ketchum
138 kV transmission line, the Company contends, has had an excellent record of reliability since
its construction in 1962 (only two unplanned outages in the past 14 years, for a total duration of
only three minutes). Nonetheless, the Company states that it has taken a number of steps to

assessment, fire protection, avalanche study, conductor assessment, maintenance plan and
emergency action plan.
The Company reports that it has also recently completed an extensive public
participation process regarding the possible construction of a second 138 kV transmission line
from the Wood River substation to the Ketchum substation. The Company received input from
public officials and citizens of the area. The overwhelming response from the parties
commenting, the Company states, was that, despite the unavoidable risk of an outage to the
existing transmission line, the proposed transmission line should not be built. The reasons for
public opposition to the line include the difficulty of finding an acceptable route for the
transmission line, aesthetic impacts, health and safety concerns, and the excessive cost of burying
part or all of the line. Idaho Power reports that it has been unsuccessful in obtaining the
necessary rights-of-way for the additional 138 kV Wood River/Ketchum transmission line.
Based on the Company's need analysis and public comments, Idaho Power concludes
that construction of an additional 138 kV transmission line from the Wood River substation to
the Ketchum substation is not feasible at this time. The Company reports that it will continue
to monitor the condition of the existing Wood River/Ketchum transmission line, the increase in
load growth in the Ketchum/Sun Valley area, and the feasibility of obtaining the required right-
of-way and public permits for a second 138 kV line.
Because the project, the Company concludes, is neither needed nor feasible, the
Company requests authority to amend its Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity
No. 272 by removing the language authorizing the construction by Idaho Power of a second
Wood River/Ketchum 138 kV transmission line. Reference Case No. U-1006-89, Order
No. 11315.
The Commission issued Notices of Application and Modified Procedure in Case
No. IPC-E-95-6 on June 22, 1995. The deadline for filing written comments or protests was July
14, 1995. Commission Staff was the only party to file comments. Staff recommends approval
of the Company's Application.
COMMISSION FINDINGS
The Commission has reviewed the Application of Idaho Power Company and the
filings of record in Case No. IPC-E-95-6. We have also reviewed our prior Order No. 11315 in
ORDER NO. 26107 - 2 -

' Case No. U-1006-89 which granted Idaho Power authorization to construct a second 138 kV
transmission line from the Wood River substation to the Ketchum substation. The Commission
continues to find it reasonable and appropriate to process the Company's Application under
Modified Procedure, i.e., by written submission rather than by hearing. Reference Commission
Rules of Procedure, IDAPA 31.01.01.204. Based on our review of the record, the Commission
finds it reasonable to conclude that the present public convenience and necessity no longer
requires construction of a second 138 kV transmission line to provide adequate, efficient,just and
reasonable service to the Ketchum/Sun Valley area. We therefore find it reasonable to cancel
the Company's Certificate No. 272 authorization for the construction of a second Wood
River/Ketchum 138 kV transmission line.
In reviewing the remaining language of Certificate No. 272, the Commission notes
that it does not depict prior modifications to Certificate No 272. Apart from authorization to
construct a second 138 kV line, Certificate No. 272 also authorized construction of a 50 MW
combustion turbine generator, i.e., the Hailey turbine. The Hailey turbine, after it was built and
installed, was with Commission authorization subsequently sold. Reference Order No. 24676,
Case No. IPC-E-92-9 (January 27, 1993). Although the Commission's Order No. 24676
cancelled certificate authorization for the Hailey turbine, an amended certificate was never issued.
The present elimination of authorization for a second 138 kV line effectively removes all
authorization previously given by Certificate No. 272. The Commission therefore finds it
administratively appropriate to cancel Certificate No. 272 rather than to amend it as requested
by the Company.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
The Commission has jurisdiction in this matter and over Idaho Power Company, an
electric utility, pursuant to the authority and power granted the Commission under Title 61 of the
Idaho Code and pursuant to the Commission's Rules of Procedure, IDAPA 31.01.01000 et seq.
ORDER
In consideration of the foregoing and as more particularly described above IT IS
HEREBY ORDERED that Idaho Power Company's authority to construct a second Wood
River/Ketchum 138 kV transmission line as previously authorized by the Commission in Case

IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION )
OF IDAHO POWER COMPANY FOR ) CASE NO. IPC-E-92-9
AUTHORITY TO SELL ITS HAILEY )
TURBINE ELECTRIC GENERATOR ) ORDER NO. 24676
l
On March 9, 1992, the Idaho Power Company (Idaho Power; Company)
filed an Application with this Commission for authority to sell its turbine electric
generator (Hailey Turbine) located approximately two miles north of Hailey,
Idaho at the Company's Wood River Substation.
APPLICATION
According to the Application,-the Hailey Turbine is a General Electric
Frame 7, model MS 7001 B (C), dual fuel turbine electric generator with a rating
of 49,580 kW. The equipment proposed for sale includes the fuel handling
equipment, two auxiliary transformers, the carbon dioxide fire control unit, the
waste sump, the 4.16 kV auto transfer unit for starting, all special tools, spare
parts and manuals as well as the turbine generator unit itself.
The Company notes that on February 6, 1974, in Case No. U-1006-89,
by Order No. 11315, Idaho Power was granted Certificate of Public Convenience
and Necessity No. 272 for the construction and installation of the Hailey
Turbine. The original purpose for the turbine was to provide increased reliability
to the Hailey-Ketchum-Sun Valley area. The Application states that Idaho
Power has completed construction of a second 138 KV transmission line into the
Wood River Valley, rendering the Hailey Turbine redundant.
Idaho Power contends that problems involving the availability of fuel
and the local environmental impact that the Hailey turbine has had at its
present site have forced the Company to omit the turbine as a resource for
planning purposes from Idaho Power's current studies for new resource planning
or avoided cost determination. Because of this, the Company contends, the sale
of the Hailey Turbine will not affect Idaho Power's "Appendix A" loads
ORDER NO. 24676 - 1 -

copy of the Purchase and Sale Agreement executed by Idaho Power and Longview
Fibre. Under the Agreement, Longview Fibre agrees to pay Idaho Power
$8 million for the turbine. The net book value of the turbine as of December 31,
1992 was $1,473,000. In addition, Longview Fibre is responsible for the costs of
relocating the turbine to its pulp and paper mill in Longview, Washington. Idaho
Power will incur as of yet unknown costs in restoring the former site of the
turbine.
Idaho Power proposes to file for an accounting Order with the
Commission no later than September 30, 1993 to determine the appropriate
ratemaking and accounting treatment to be given the sale.
CO ON STAFF
The Commission Staff supports Idaho Power's Application. Staff agrees
with the Company that, because of the recently constructed transmission line
serving the Wood River Valley, the Hailey Turbine has been rendered
superfluous.
Staff analyzed the potential use of the Hailey Turbine as a peaking
resource. For purposes of its analysis, Staff accepted Idaho Power's relocation,
refurbishment and interconnect cost estimate of $10 million as reasonable.
Based upon a rated capacity of 50,000 kilowatts, this computes to an
approximate $200 per kilowatt cost for the Hailey Turbine. To this estimate,
Staff added the Company's estimated lost sale opportunity cost of $131 per
kilowatt. This is calculated as follows: $8,000,000 sale price - $1,473,000 net
book value at 12/31/92 = $6,527,000 _ 50,000 kilowatt rated capacity = $131 per
kilowatt.
Combining the $202 per kilowatt cost of refurbishing the Hailey
Turbine with the $131 per kilowatt lost sale opportunity cost yields a unit
capacity cost of keeping the turbine of $333 per kilowatt. Assuming a 1993
delivered gas cost of $2.10 per MMbtu escalating at 4.5% per year, Staff found
that the unit cost of this resource is well above the Company's applicable avoided
cost rate even assuming a 70% capacity factor. In reality, the most optimistic
capacity factor that could be reasonably expected for this unit is 35%, with 25%
being much more probable. Because lower capacity factors mean higher fixed
cost allocations, Staff concurs with Idaho Power that the Hailey Turbine is not
economical at this time.

portion thereof, shall sell, assign or transfer, directly or
indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, any such property or
interest therein, or the operation, management or control
thereof, or any certificate of convenience and necessityy or
franchise covering the same, except when authorized to do so
by order of the public utilities commission of the state of
Idaho. Such authorization and order shall be issued only
following public notice and hearing, upon verified application
of the parties setting forth such facts as the commission shall
prescribe or require, and if the commission shall find that the
public interest will not be adversely affected, that the cost of
and rates for supplying service will not be increased by reason
of such transaction, and that the applicant for such
acquisition or transfer has the bona fide intent and financial
ability to operate and maintain said property in the public
service; provided, that no such order or authorization shall be
issued or granted to any applicant or party coming within the
prohibitions set forth in this act. The commission shall have
power to issue said authorization and order as prayed for, or
to refuse to issue the same, or to issue such authorization and
order with respect only to a part of the property involved, and
may attach to its authorization and order such terms and
conditions as in its judgment the public convenience and
necessity may require.
Will the public interest be advemly affected by the sale of the Hailer
turbine?
As we have previously held, the Hailey Turbine is no longer of use to
Idaho Power or its ratepayers. The longer Idaho Power retains ownership of the
turbine in its present configuration, the more obsolete and, therefore, the less
valuable it becomes. We find, therefore, that not only will the public interest not
be adversely affected by the sale of the turbine, the Company's ratepayers will
actually realize a financial gain by the sale of an asset that is non-functional and
almost fully depreciated.
Will the cost ofand rates for suppbd" service be increased by the sale
of the Haney turbine?
As held above, Idaho Power's ratepayers will actually realize a financial
benefit from the sale of the Hailey Turbine. Therefore, we find that rates will not
be increased as a result of the proposed sale.
ORDER NO. 24676 - 5 -

ORDER
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Idaho Power's Application for
approval of the sale of the Hailey Turbine is granted consistent with the terms
and conditions of this Order.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Company shall file for a
determination of the accounting and ratemaking treatment to be given the sale of
the Hailey Turbine no later than September 30, 1993.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Idaho Power's Certificate of Public
Convenience and Necessity No. 272 is hereby cancelled.
THIS IS A FINAL ORDER. Any person interested in this Order (or

IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION OF )
IDAHO POWER COMPANY FOR AN AMEND- ) CASE NO. IPC-E-95-6
MENT TO CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC )
CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY NO. 272 ) ORDER NO. 26107
On June 2, 1995, Idaho Power Company (Idaho Power; Company) filed an
Application with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (Commission) requesting an amendment
to its Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity No. 272 deleting its prior authorization
to construct a new 138 kV transmission line from the Wood River substation to the Ketchum
substation in Blaine County. The prior authorization was obtained from the Commission in 1973
in Order No. 11315, Case No. U-1006-89. The purpose of the proposed line was to provide
backup service for the existing Wood River/Ketchum 138 kV transmission line which runs along
the east end of the Wood River Valley.
Based on an extensive reassessment of the feasibility and need for an additional
138 kV Wood River/Ketchum transmission line, the Company concludes that the line is not
needed. The reassessment study performed by the Company includes a review of both the
capacity requirements and the reliability requirements for Idaho Power's electric service to the
Ketchum/Sun Valley area.
Regarding capacity, the Company contends that based on current projections the
existing 138 kV Wood River/Ketchum transmission line has sufficient capacity to meet the area's
electric needs for the foreseeable future. The Company states that it will continue to monitor
area load growth and make modifications when necessary.
Regarding reliability, Idaho Power reports that it has thoroughly reviewed the
reliability of its electric service to the Ketchum/Sun Valley area. The Wood River/Ketchum
138 kV transmission line, the Company contends, has had an excellent record of reliability since
its construction in 1962 (only two unplanned outages in the past 14 years, for a total duration of
only three minutes). Nonetheless, the Company states that it has taken a number of steps to
further improve the reliability of the line including the following: structural assessment,electrical
ORDER NO. 26107 - 1 -

assessment, fire protection, avalanche study, conductor assessment, maintenance plan and
emergency action plan.
The Company reports that it has also recently completed an extensive public
participation process regarding the possible construction of a second 138 kV transmission line
from the Wood River substation to the Ketchum substation. The Company received input from
public officials and citizens of the area. The overwhelming response from the parties
commenting, the Company states, was that, despite the unavoidable risk of an outage to the
existing transmission line, the proposed transmission line should not be built. The reasons for
public opposition to the line include the difficulty of finding an acceptable route for the
transmission line, aesthetic impacts, health and safety concerns, and the excessive cost of burying
part or all of the line. Idaho Power reports that it has been unsuccessful in obtaining the
necessary rights-of-way for the additional 138 kV Wood River/Ketchum transmission line.
Based on the Company's need analysis and public comments, Idaho Power concludes
that construction of an additional 138 kV transmission line from the Wood River substation to
the Ketchum substation is not feasible at this time. The Company reports that it will continue
to monitor the condition of the existing Wood River/Ketchum transmission line, the increase in
load growth in the Ketchum/Sun Valley area, and the feasibility of obtaining the required right-
of-way and public permits for a second 138 kV line.
Because the project, the Company concludes, is neither needed nor feasible, the
Company requests authority to amend its Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity
No. 272 by removing the language authorizing the construction by Idaho Power of a second
Wood River/Ketchum 138 kV transmission line. Reference Case No. U-1006-89, Order
No. 11315.
The Commission issued Notices of Application and Modified Procedure in Case
No. IPC-E-95-6 on June 22, 1995. The deadline for filing written comments or protests was July
14, 1995. Commission Staff was the only party to file comments. Staff recommends approval
of the Company's Application.
COMMISSION FINDINGS
The Commission has reviewed the Application of Idaho Power Company and the
filings of record in Case No. IPC-E-95-6. We have also reviewed our prior Order No. 11315 in
ORDER NO. 26107 - 2 -

Case No. U-1006-89 which granted Idaho Power authorization to construct a second 138 kV
transmission line from the Wood River substation to the Ketchum substation. The Commission
continues to find it reasonable and appropriate to process the Company's Application under
Modified Procedure, i.e., by written submission rather than by hearing. Reference Commission
Rules of Procedure, IDAPA 31.01.01.204. Based on our review of the record, the Commission
finds it reasonable to conclude that the present public convenience and necessity no longer
requires construction of a second 138 kV transmission line to provide adequate, efficient,just and
reasonable service to the Ketchum/Sun Valley area. We therefore find it reasonable to cancel
the Company's Certificate No. 272 authorization for the construction of a second Wood
River/Ketchum 138 kV transmission line.
In reviewing the remaining language of Certificate No. 272, the Commission notes
that it does not depict prior modifications to Certificate No 272. Apart from authorization to
construct a second 138 kV line, Certificate No. 272 also authorized construction of a 50 MW
combustion turbine generator, i.e., the Hailey turbine. The Hailey turbine, after it was built and
installed, was with Commission authorization subsequently sold. Reference Order No. 24676,
Case No. IPC-E-92-9 (January 27, 1993). Although the Commission's Order No. 24676
cancelled certificate authorization for the Hailey turbine, an amended certificate was never issued.
The present elimination of authorization for a second 138 kV line effectively removes all
authorization previously given by Certificate No. 272. The Commission therefore finds it
administratively appropriate to cancel Certificate No. 272 rather than to amend it as requested
by the Company.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
The Commission has jurisdiction in this matter and over Idaho Power Company, an
electric utility, pursuant to the authority and power granted the Commission under Title 61 of the
Idaho Code and pursuant to the Commission's Rules of Procedure, IDAPA 31.01.01000 et seq.

CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE ) CASE NO. U-1006-89
AND NECESSITY..... ................)
ORDER NO. 11315
On October 31, 1973, the Commission received an application from the
Idaho Power Company (Applicant) requesting a Certificate of Public Convenience and
Necessity for the construction and installation of a 50 megawatt (50,000 kilowatts)
combustion turbine generator and related facilities at Applicant's Wood River
Substation near Hailey, Idaho, and the conversion and rebuild of the present 46KV
transmission and distribution lines from the Wood River Substation to the Ketchum
Substation to 138KV transmission line.
On November 7, 1973, the Commission issued its Notice of Hearing setting
the matter for Hearing at the Grange Hall, Hailey, Idaho, commencing at 9:00 A.M.,
Thursday, December 6, 1973, at which time and place the Hearing was held before
Commissioners Ralph H. Wickberg and Robert Lenaghen, and the following appearances
were entered:
JAMES E. BRUCE, Vice-President, Secretary and General Counsel,
and THOMAS G. NELSON, Attorney at Law, appearing for the firm of
Parry, Robertson, Daly & Larson, First National Bank Building,
Twin Falls, Idaho, appearing for the Applicant.
JOHN S. CHAPMAN, Attorney at Law, Idaho Building, Boise, Idaho,
appearing for Dorothy Jean Chapman, Protestant.
K. D. SMITH, Assistant Director, Idaho Public Utilities Commission,
472 W. Washington St., Boise, Idaho, appearing for the Commission.
Applicant proposes to construct and install a 50 megawatt combustion
turbine generator and related facilities for the generation of electrical power
and energy. The plant will be located adjacent to Applicant's Wood River Substation
situated between the cities of Hailey and Ketchum, Blaine County, Idaho.
The combustion turbine will be a General Electric model Series 7000,
simple cycle turbine. In the simple cycle, air is drawn into the axial flow
compressor and discharged into the combustion chamber at high pressure. Energy is
-1-

added in the combustion chamber where liquid or gaseous fuel is burned to produce
high temperature gas. These high temperature gases are expanded through the
turbine, which converts the thermal energy into mechanical energy of rotation.
The unit will be 32.25 feet at the-highest point, 116.75 feet long and 61.52 feet
wide. It is a modular type construction and will not have any open running parts.
All the operations will be housed in a structure which will be painted a neutral
color to blend it into its surroundings.
There will be a fuel supply tank located on the property, but some
distance away from the turbine to store the fuel supply for the turbine. The tank
will be 32 feet high with a maximum diameter of 106 feet capable of storing 50,000
barrels of oil. An earth dike will surround the tank and will encompass an area
that will contain all of the oil in the event of a leak. The ground will have an
impervious barrier to prevent any escape of the oil into the ground.
The turbine will be so constructed and installed that at 400 feet the
sound level will be 47 decibels (dba) and 44 dba at 600 feet, which will produce
approximately the same sound pressure level that existed at the site on September
10, 1973. At the present time there are no residents within 400 feet of the tur-
bine and only 3 residences within 600 feet. The noise level from the operations
of the turbine will not be noticeable at these residences.
To determine the effect that running the turbine would have on the air
quality in the area the Applicant had the General Electric Company to make a study
on what would occur. The study was of the magnitude of ground level concentration
of combustion products that might be expected from operation of the unit. The
methods used in the study were those approved by the Environmental Protection
Agency and included Holland Plume Rise Formula and Pasquel's Atmospheric Diffusion
Formula and weather information obtained from the United States Forest Service
offices in Boise, Hailey and Ketchum. Using the worst one-hour period that could
occur to compute the ground level concentration, the study found that the highest
concentration of any substance is less than 1% of the concentration permitted by
the Idaho standards. There would be no significant deterioration of the air
quality in the area resulting from the operation of the combustion turbine, either
with natural gas or No. 2 heating fuel.
-2-

The Applicant anticipates a shortage of power on the system during the
months of June, July, August and September, 1974, due to the delay of the first
500 megawatt unit of the Jim Bridger Steam Electric Generating Station now under
construction in Wyoming. The first unit of Jim Bridger was scheduled for produc-
tion in June, 1974. However, this schedule, due to labor turnover and harsh
winter weather, has been delayed for 3 to 6 months. In these months, the Appli-
cant, due to the very large irrigation and air-conditioning load, will need addi-
tional power and energy to supply these loads. With the delay of Jim Bridger
additional energy sources must be obtained by Applicant and the output of the 50
megawatt combustion turbine will aid in remedying this deficit and assist the
Applicant in maintaining its large summer load requirements.
Service to the Hailey-Ketchum-Sun Valley area is presently being
supplied by a 46KV line from Shoshone to Hailey, which does not have the capacity
to serve the entire load in the area, and a single 138KV line running 72 miles
from the King Substation near Hagerman to the Wood River Substation. The residents
in the Hailey-Ketchum area are primarily dependent on the operation of the 138KV
line. The 138KV line transverses high desert and mountainous terrain, subject to
storms, snow, avalanches, slides, fire and icing conditions. Although the opera-
ting experience with the 138KV line since its construction in 1962 has been espec-
ially good, the passage of time and corresponding deterioration of plant will
contribute to a substantial outage sometime in the future. The winter load in the
Hailey-Ketchum area is very high due primarily to the large amount of electric heat
used and any prolonged outage of the electric supply especially in the winter months
could cause great hardship.
The combustion turbine generator will be used to supply energy to the
Applicant's system for the summer of 1974 and until completion of the Jim Bridger
Plant, but it will remain at this location to provide increased security of service
in the Hailey-Ketchum-Sun Valley area and as reserve capacity after the Jim Bridger
Plant is completed and in operation. The Applicant investigated alternate methods
for increased electric reliability in the Hailey-Ketchum area. One method consid-
ered was the construction of an additional 138KV transmission line extending from
-3-

the Hunt Substation hear Eden northerly across the desert and mountains to the
Silver Creek area, across the Silver Creek area to Gannett and then northerly to
Ketchum. The Applicant encountered a number of problems to this proposal, prim-
arily the right-of-way. The Applicant contacted many individual landowners on the
possibility of obtaining right-of-way and found that these individuals did not
desire to grant such right-of-way across their property. Such a transmission
line would cross a substantial portion of federal lands and obtaining right-of-
way across these lands presented serious problems.
Applicant also requests authority to rebuild and convert its existing
46KV transmission line extending from the Wood River Substation to a point near
Gimlet to 138KV transmission capacity with distribution underbuild and to convert
and rebuild the existing distribution line extending from Gimlet to the Ketchum
Substation-to 138KV transmission capacity with distribution rebuild. The rebuild
will be on a pole for pole basis; that is, a new pole will be located next to an
old pole and upon completion of the new line all the old poles will be removed.
The length of the new pole will be higher than the present poles and a curved type
wooden mast arm will be used to carry the conductors and the distribution lines will
be located on the new poles at a point below the transmission line. The rebuild
will be done on the present right-of-way and no additional right-of-way will be
required.
The Applicant maintains that it is necessary to have an additional
138KV transmission line into the Ketchum-Sun Valley area for the reason that since
the present 138KV transmission line was constructed, the load on the Ketchum Sub-
station has increased from 2,664 kilowatts to 20,924 kilowatts, and with the
present building and expansion going on in the Sun Valley, Elkhorn and Ketchum
area, the load will continue to increase. All of the present load is served on
the existing 138KV line that extends from the Wood River Substation to the Ketchum
Substation on the east side of the Big Wood River Valley to the east fork of the
Big Wood River, at which point it crosses along and over the east side of the
mountains that lie adjacent to the valley floor. This section of the line is
particularly vulnerable to snow, mud or road slides and is in a difficult area to
-4-

reach with ground transportation. As a result of the large increases in load and
the line outage possibility it is prudent to provide an alternate source of power
to the Ketchum Substation.
The attorney for the protestant questioned the necessity of the const-
ruction and rebuild of the present 46KV transmission and distribution lines from
the Wood River Substation to the Ketchum Substation to 138KV capacity. The
primary concern appears to be the effect the rebuild of the line to higher poles
would have on the environment of the valley. He further questions whether or not
there was an alternate route that could be utilized either for additional trans-
mission line or the possibility of placing the proposed line on the present 138KV
structures.
It was his concern that whether or not the operation of the combustion
turbine would cause a substantial deterioration in the air quality in the valley,
especially during periods of low wind velocity.
We have given careful consideration to the effect on the area of
constructing a combustion turbine generator and the rebuild and construction of
the present 46KV lines and distribution lines to 138KV capacity. We are of the
opinion that if the proposed 138KV line were to be placed in another area the land
use impact, which is the primary consideration, would be much greater on the total
valley impact than in using some route other than the highway. The present plan
would replace the present lines and would not add additional poles and wires in
the valley. But placing the proposed line on the present 138KV structures would
not meet the purposes for which the line is designed and that is an additional
power source to Ketchum Substation by an alternate supply of power so that in the
case of the loss of the present 138KV line then you would not lose the entire
electrical supply to the Ketchum-Sun Valley area. The record is clear that the
emission from turbine would, when compared to the National Ambient Air Quality
Standards, be less than 1% of the standards and would be far below the "no signi-
ficant" deterioration level in all categories to which these standards apply and
would be lower than the minimum requirements of the State of Idaho and the
Environmental Protection Agency.
-5-

We conclude that the benefits to be derived from the installation and
operation of the combustion turbine generator at this site are greater than any
detrimental effect that might be made on the environment of the area. If the unit
is not installed on the proposed site and a major interruption should happen,
harm to the public would occur by the loss of electrical energy for space heat-
ing, the pumping of water for fire fighting and other purposes and the general
disruption of activities that follow loss of electrical service for an extended
period of time. We would not be fulfilling our regulatory obligations if we did
not take action to approve an alternate source of electrical power for the Hailey-
Ketchum-Sun Valley area to guard against the extended power outages that would
occur if the 138KV transmission line were lost. It appears that the installation
of the combustion turbine generator and the proposed construction and rebuild of
the present 46KV transmission and distribution line to 138KV capacity is the most
reasonable method to provide security at this time.

CONCURRING STATEMENT BY COMMISSIONER RALPH H. WICKBERG
My personal attitude toward authorizing a gas turbine power plant
to serve emergency electric power to the Sun Valley-Ketchum-Hailey area is
one of ambivalence.
It is easy for me to understand that many people who reside in the
area would like to avoid the construction of additional electric facilities
whether they be power plants or higher poles for transmission purposes.
My personal observation is that commercial and residential devel-
opments now taking place require a firm and secure electric power supply to
avoid the possibility of serious economic and personal discomfort that would
come about as the result of a major electric power outage.
Idaho law clearly requires the serving utility (Idaho Power Co.)
and the Idaho Public Utilities Commission to use reasonable diligence in
providing an excellent and reliable electric system to all consumers and areas.
The testimony and uncontroverted facts of this case prove conclusively, to me,
that the present electric transmission system serving the Hailey-Ketchum-Sun
Valley area is deficient from reliability criteria.
I believe that this Commission would be derelict in not recognizing
that a present hazard exists to the health, comfort and safety of the residents
of Hailey-Ketchum-Sun Valley. This Commission has before it a reasonable plan
to eliminate much of the risk of a serious electric power outage to this area.
The construction of the proposed gas turbine north of Hailey and the
reconstruction of the transmission line to Ketchum, is, in my opinion, bene-
ficial and necessary.
I concur,

ORDER N0. 11315
On October 31, 1973, the Commission received an application from the
Idaho Power Company (Applicant) requesting a Certificate of Public Convenience and
Necessity for the construction and installation of a 50 megawatt (50,000 kilowatts)
combustion turbine generator and related facilities at Applicant's Wood River
Substation neax Hailey, Idaho, and the conversion and rebuild of the present 46KV
transmission and distribution lines from the Wood River Substation to the Ketchum
Substation to 138KV transmission line.
On November 7, 1973, the Commission issued its Notice of Hearing setting
the matter for Hearing at the Grange Hall, Hailey, Idaho, commencing at 9:00 A.M. ,
Thursday, December 6, 1973, at which time and place the Hearing was held before
Commissioners Ralph H. Wickberg and Robert Lenaghen, and the following appearances
were entered:
JAMES E. BRUCE, Vice-President, Secretary and General Counsel,
and THOMAS G. NELSON, Attorney at Law, appearing for the firm of
Parry, Robertson, Daly & Larson, First National Bank Building,
Twin Falls, Idaho, appearing for the Applicant.

appearing for Dorothy Jean Chapman, Protestant.
K. D. SMITH, Assistant Director, Idaho Public Utilities Commission,.
472 W. Washington St. , Boise, Idaho, appearing for the Commission.
Applicant proposes to construct and install a 50 megawatt combustion
tur b-ine generator and related facilities for the generation of electrical power
and energy. The plant will be located adjacent to Applicant's Wood River Substation
situated between the cities of Hailey and Ketchum, Blaine County, Idaho.
The combustion turbine will be a General Electric model Series 7000,
simple cycle turbine. In the simple cycle, air is drawn into the axial flow
compressor and discharged into the combustion chamber at high pressure. Energy is
-1-

added in the combustion chamber where liquid or gaseous fuel is burned to produce

turbine, which converts the thermal energy into mechanical energy of rotation.
The unit will be 32.25 feet at the highest point, 116.75 feet long and 61.52 feet
wide. It is a modular type construction and will not have any open running parts.
All the operations will be housed in a structure which will be painted a neutral
color to blend it into its surroundings.
There will be a fuel supply tank located on the property, but some
distance away from the turbine to store the fuel supply for the turbine. The tank
will be 32 feet high with a maximum diameter of 106 feet capable of storing 50,000
barrels of oil. An earth dike will surround the tank and will encompass an area
that will contain all of the oil in the event of a leak. The ground will have an
impervious barrier to prevent any escape of the oil into the ground.
The turbine will be so constructed and installed that at 400 feet the
sound level will be 47 decibels (dba) and 44 dba at 600 feet, which will produce
approximately the same sound pressure level that existed at the site on September
10, 1973. At the present time there are no residents within 400 feet of the tur-

The Applicant anticipates a shortage of power on the system during the
months of June, July, August and September, 1974, due to the delay of the first

Ketchum. The Applicant encountered a number of problems to this proposal, prim-
arily the right-of-way. The Applicant contacted many individual landowners on the
possibility of obtaining right-of-way and found that these individuals did not
desire to grant such right-of-way across their property. Such a transmission
line would cross a substantial portion of federal lands and obtaining right-of-
way across these lands presented serious problems.
Applicant also requests authority to rebuild and convert its existing
46KV transmission line extending from the Wood River Substation to a point near
Gimlet to 138KV transmission capacity with distribution underbuild and to convert
and rebuild the existing distribution line extending from Gimlet to the Ketchum
Substation to 138KV transmission capacity with distribution rebuild. The rebuild
will be on a pole for pole basis; that is, a new pole will be located next to an
old pole and upon completion of the new line all the old poles will be removed.
The length of the new pole will be higher than the present poles and a curved type
wooden mast arm will be used to carry the conductors and the distribution lines will
be located on the new poles at a point below the transmission line. The rebuild
will be done on the present right-of-way and no additional right-of-way will be
required.
The Applicant maintains that it is necessary to have an additional
138KV transmission line into the Ketchum-Sun Valley area for the reason that since
the present 138KV transmission line was constructed, the load on the Ketchum Sub-
station has increased from 2,664 kilowatts to 20,924 kilowatts, and with the
present building and expansion going on in the Sun Valley, Elkhorn and Ketchum
area, the load will continue to increase. All of the present load is served on
the existing 138KV line that extends from the Wood River Substation to the Ketchum
Substation on the east side of the Big Wood River Valley to the east fork of the
Big Wood River, at which point it crosses along and over the east side of the
mountains that lie adjacent to the valley floor. This section of the line is
particularly vulnerable to snow, mud or road slides and is in a difficult area to
-4-

reach with ground transportation. As a result of the large increases in load and
the line outage possibility it is prudent to provide an alternate source of power
to the Ketchum Substation.
The attorney for the protestant questioned the necessity of the const-
ruction and rebuild of the present 46KV transmission and distribution lines from
the Wood River Substation to the Ketchum Substation to 138KV capacity. The
primary concern appears to be the effect the rebuild of the line to higher poles
would have on the environment of the valley. He further questions whether or not
there was an alternate route that could be utilized either for additional trans-
mission line or the possibility of placing the proposed line on the present 138KV
structures.
It was his concern that whether or not the operation of the combustion
turbine would cause a substantial deterioration in the air quality in the valley,
especially during periods of low wind velocity.
We have given careful consideration to the effect on the area of
constructing a combustion turbine generator and the rebuild and construction of
the present 46KV lines and distribution lines to 138KV capacity. We are of the
opinion that if the proposed 138KV line were to be placed in another area the land
use impact, which is the primary consideration, would be much greater on the total
valley impact than in using some route other than the highway. The present plan
would replace the present lines and would not add additional poles and wires in
the valley. But placing the proposed line on the present 138KV structures would
not meet the purposes for: which the line is designed and that is an additional
power source to Ketchum Substation by an alternate supply of power so that in the
case of the loss of the present 138KV line then you would not lose the entire
electrical supply to the Ketchum-Sun Valley area. The record is clear that the
emission from turbine would, when compared to the National Ambient Air Quality
Standards, be less than 1% of the standards and would be far below the "no signi-
ficant" deterioration level in all categories to which these standards apply and
would be lower than the minimum requirements of the State of Idaho and the
Environmental Protection Agency.

We conclude that the benefits to be derived from the installation and
operation of the combustion turbine generator at this site are greater than any
detrimental effect that might be made on the environment of the area. If the unit
is not installed on the proposed site and a major interruption should happen,
harm to the public would occur by the loss of electrical energy for space heat-
ing, the pumping of water for fire fighting and other purposes and the general
disruption of activities that follow loss of electrical service for an extended
period of time. We would not be fulfilling our regulatory obligations if we did
not take action to approve an alternate source of electrical power for the Hailey-
Ketchum-Sun Valley area to guard against the extended power outages that would
occur if the 138KV transmission line were lost. It appears that the installation
of the combustion turbine generator and the proposed construction and rebuild of
the present 46KV transmission and distribution line to 138KV capacity is the most
reasonable method to provide security at this time.

CONCURRING STATEMENT BY COMMISSIONER RALPH H. WICKBERG
My personal attitude toward authorizing a gas turbine power plant
to serve emergency electric power to the Sun Valley-Ketchum-Hailey area is
one of ambivalence.
It is easy for me to understand that many people who reside in the
area would like to avoid the construction of additional electric facilities
whether they be power plants or higher poles for transmission purposes.
My personal observation is that commercial and residential devel-
opments now taking place require a firm and secure electric power supply to
avoid the possibility of serious economic and personal discomfort that would
come about as the result of a major electric power outage.
Idaho law clearly requires the serving utility (Idaho Power Co.)
and the Idaho Public Utilities Commission to use reasonable diligence in
providing an excellent and reliable electric system to all consumers and areas.
The testimony and uncontroverted facts of this case prove conclusively, to me,
that the present electric transmission system serving the Hailey-Ketchum-Sun
Valley area is deficient from reliability criteria.
I believe that this Commission would be derelict in not recognizing
that a present hazard exists to the health, comfort and safety of the residents
of Hailey-Ketchum-Sun Valley. This Commission has before it a reasonable plan
to eliminate much of the risk of a serious electric power outage to this area.
The construction of the proposed gas turbine north of Hailey and the
reconstruction of the transmission line to Ketchum, is, in my opinion, bene-
ficial and necessary.
I concur,

BEFORE THE IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION )
OF IDAHO POWER COMPANY FOR A ) CASE NO . U-1006-73
CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE)
AND NECESSITY. ) ORDER NO . 10390
On May 4 , 1971 , the Idaho Power Company (Idaho ) filed
with this Commission its application requesting a certificate
of public convenience and necessity for the contruction of a
transmission line within the State of Idaho .
The application was set for public hearing in the
District Courtroom, Caribou County Court House , Soda Springs ,
Idaho , at 9 : 30 a.m. , on Monday , July 19 , 1971 , at which time
and place the hearing was held before the entire Commission
and the following appearances were entered :
JAMES E. BRUCE, Attorney at Law , 1220 West
Idaho Street , Boise , Idaho , appearing for and
on behalf of the Applicant , Idaho Power Company.
LARRY D. RIPLEY, Assistant Attorney General
assigned to the Idaho Public Utilities Commis-
sion, appearing for and on behalf of the Com-
mission; and
R. E. LARSEN , Director - Utilities Division,
appearing for and on behalf of the Commission.
There were no protestants or other intervenors enter-
ing an appearance at the proceeding.
By its Order No. 10062. in Case No. U-1006-71 , this
Commission granted to Idaho a certificate of public convenience
and necessity in conjunction with Pacific Power & Light Company
(Pacific) to construct a coal-fired steam electric generating
plant and related facilities for the generation and transmission
of electric power and energy , said plant to be located-,approxi-
mately 7 miles north of Point of Rocks , Wyoming in the vicinity
of Rock Springs , Sweetwater County, Wyoming.
Idaho proposes to construct , own and operate one 345
KV electric transmission line , which transmission line , in Idaho ,
will run in a northeasterly direction from a point in Section 11 ,
T15S , R46E, BM , Bear Lake County , Idaho to the Goshen substation
in Section 28 , T1S , R37E, BM , Bingham County , Idaho , a distance
of approximately 101 . 49 miles . This 345 KV transmission line

will , by' the summer of 1974 , run from the aforedescribed
point in Bear Lake County , Idaho in a southeasterly direction
in Wyoming to a point described as Naughton Junction in Section
16 , T22N, R116W, 6th PM, Lincoln County , Wyoming and thence in
an easterly direction to the Jim Bridger steam generating plant
near Rock Springs , Wyoming .
Studies conducted by Idaho show that with Idaho' s
generation and existing contracts with other utilities for the
purchase of power , supply will be very critical during the years
1971 and thereafter. In order to insure that there will be
sufficient power during the summer season , Idaho has agreed
with Utah Power 6 Light Company (Utah) to advance the construe
tion of a 345 KV transmission line from the four corners area
in New Mexico to the Naughton steam plant of Utah in Wyoming.
This is to assure that surplus steam energy from- the southwest
will be available to Utah and Idaho systems . Idaho has also
entered into contracts with Utah and Pacific to furnish steam
energy in 1971 , 1972 and 1973 from their Dave Johnston and
Naughton steam plants .
In order to facilitate the transfer of this energy
to its system, Idaho proposes to construct the first segment
of the 345 KV transmission line extending from Naughton
Junction, approximately nine miles north of the Naughton
steam plant in Wyoming to the Goshen Substation in Bingham
County , Idaho . This line will initially be operated at 230
KV until the completion of the Jim Bridger steam electric plant
in the summer of 1974 . In addition, Idaho will construct a 230
KV transmission line - i'n Wyoming extending from Naughton Junction ,
southerly for nine miles to the Naughton steam plant ; after 1974
this section of line will be salvaged.
Two additional 345 KV transmission lines will be con-
structed by Pacific (Case No. U-1046-44 ) both lines will run
parallel to the Idaho line from the Jim Bridger steam plant to
a point near Montpelier. At that point the Pacific lines will
-2-

run in a westerly direction with one line terminating at the
Kinport substation near Pocatello and the other line terminating
in the Borah substation near American Falls .
The line to be constructed by Idaho running from
a point on the Idaho-Wyoming border to the Goshen substation
will cross private , state and Bureau of Land Management land .
In Wyoming and Idaho to Montpeli'dr , the line crosses rocky
sage brush , high desert type land , north of Montpelier there
is some dry agriculture and a small amount of irrigated land
to a point about 20 miles north of Soda Springs . From this
point the line crosses grassy , sage brush, mountainous terrain,
and some forested area that is generally of non-merchantable
classification, minimum clearing will be required in this area.
The last 311 miles to the Goshen substation crosses high-use
agricultural type land that cannot be avoided.
After the approximate location of the line had been
determined by Idaho , a detailed survey was made in conjunction
with the Bureau of Land Management , Idaho Department of Public
Lands and the U . S. Forest Service. As a result of this survey
an agreement was made between Idaho", and the affected government
agencies and the final design of the towers and their location
was made.
The line proposed to be constructed by Idaho will
consist of what is commonly referred to as ""delta y guyed" towers ,
with each tower resting on a small concrete base and supported
by four down guys . The towers will be constructed of aluminum
and will range in heighth from 85 feet to 140 feet with an
average height of 120 ,feet , and each tower will support three
pair of aluminum conductors and two steel strand lightening
protection wires on the upper masts . The towers will be fabri-
cated in marshalling yards and will be transported complete
to the tower sites by helicopter. The stringing of the conductors
will require some equipment on the ground but there should be
minimum disturbance of the land area during construction.

from the Idaho Power Company (Company) requesting a certificate of,
public convenience and necessity for the construct-ion of a trans-
mission line in Power, Bingham and Butte Counties , all in the State
of Idaho.
The Company has previously entered into a five-company
interconnection ,agreement with The Washington Water Power Company,
The Montana Power Company , Utah Power and Light Company and Paci-
fic Power and Light Company, which agreement has been approved by
this Commission in Case No. U-1008-46 , Order No . 7960 . In order
to facilitate this interconnection to provide operating economies
and enhance: the reliability of the respective systems , the inter-
connection agreement provides for the construction by the respec-
tive companies to the agreement of a 230 KV transmission line ,
together with the necessary facilities , extending from Noxon,
Montana, to Anaconda, Montana, and thence to the Brady Substation
in American Falls , Idaho , and from the, Naughton, Substation at
Kemmerer, Wyoming, to Treasureton, Idaho , with each company to
construct a described portion of said line .
Pursuant to the interconnection agreement , the 230 KV
transmission line and facilities in the , State of Idaho will be
constructed by Utah Power and, Light Company from a point on the
Montana-Idaho state line ; to a point . in the vicinity of Utah Power
and Light. Company' s Scoville Substation , and by Idaho Power Company
from the vicinity of Scoville Substation to Idaho Power Company' s
Brady Substation near American Falls , Idaho.
The application shows that the portion of the line to
be constructed by the Company will commence in the SW;4 of the NEB

of Section 15 , T3N , R29E , B.M. , Butte County , Idaho, and will ex-
tend a distance of approximately 60 miles in a generally southerly
direction through Butte , Bingham and Power Counties to the NA, of.
the NWT of Section 22 , T4S , R30E , B .M. , Power County , Idaho .
The Company has previously obtained and now has certifi-
cates of convenience and necessity for general electrical service
in Power and Bingham Counties , but does not have any certificate
of public convenience and necessity for Butte County , Idaho. The
Company therefore requests a certificate of public convenience and
necessity to construct the transmission line through Power, Bing-
ham and Butte Counties , Idaho .
F I N D I N G S
I .
THAT Idaho Power Company is a Maine corporation , qualified
to do business in the State of Idaho , and is an electrical public
utility corporation as defined in the statutes of the State of
Idaho.

and require the construction and operation of this transmission
line to make an additional interconnection between. the electric
systems of the dompanies subject to the interconnection agreement ;
that such interconnecting facilities in conjunction with those
already existing between the systems will enable the various
systems to coordinate and make possible transmission and inter-
change of electrical power and energy as the public use may require .

should be granted to the Idaho Power Company for the construction
of a transmission line commencing in the SW3, of the NEk, Section 15 ,
