EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Rocky Mountain Power is a multi-jurisdictional electric utility providing retail service to
customers in Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming. Rocky Mountain Power, a division of PacifiCorp, serves
approximately 88,780 customers in southeastern Idaho. Rocky Mountain Power acquires energy
efficiency and peak reduction resources as cost-effective alternatives to the acquisition of supply-
side resources.
PacifiCorp develops an integrated resource plan (IRP)l as a means of balancing cost, risk,
uncertainty, supply reliability/deliverability and long-run public policy goals. The IRP presents a
framework of future actions to ensure that Rocky Mountain Power continues to provide reliable,
reasonably priced service to customers. Energy Efficiency and peak management opportunities
are incorporated into the IRP based on their availability, characteristics, and costs.'
Rocky Mountain Power employs external implementers to administer its energy efficiency and
peak reductions programs.3 Evaluations for each program are performed by independent
external evaluators to validate energy and demand savings derived from Rocky Mountain
Power's programs.'
Rocky Mountain Power utilizes earned media, customer communications, education, and
outreach advertising as well as program specific marketing to communicate the value of energy
efficiency, provide information regarding low-cost, no-cost energy efficiency measures and to
educate customers on the availability of programs, services, and incentives.'
This report provides details on program results and activities for the reporting period from
January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023. Rocky Mountain Power on behalf of its customers,
invested $4.9 million in energy efficiency and peak reduction resource acquisitions during the
reporting period utilizing collections from Electric Service Schedule 191, Customer Efficiency
Services Rate Adjustment ("Schedule 191"). The investment yielded approximately 18 megawatt
hours("MWh") at generator in first-year energy savings, and approximately 3 megawatts ("MW")
of capacity reduction from energy efficiency. Net benefits based on the projected value of the
energy savings over the life of the individual measures is estimated at $1.8 million.6

PORTFOLIO OF PROGRAMS
ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROGRAMS
WATTSMART HOMES
Program Description
The Wattsmart Homes program is designed to provide access to incentives for using more
efficient products and services installed or received by residential customers in the following
housing types:
■ New Construction Homes
■ Single Family Existing Homes
■ Multi-family Housing Units
■ Manufactured Homes
The program applies to residential customers under Electrical Service Schedules 1 or 36.
Landlords who own rental property where the tenant is billed under Electric Service Schedules 1
or 36 also qualify.
The Wattsmart Homes program received a cost/benefit result of 0.68 under the UCT for 2023.
Program Performance and Major Achievements in 2023
The Wattsmart Homes program generated 2,080,836 kWh savings at the site and disbursed
$234,141 in incentives.
The majority of the savings achieved in 2023 came through the transportation measure category,
which is exclusively engine block heater controls. Poor realization rates in this measure category
are the primary driver to the low overall cost benefit results in the Wattsmart Homes Program.
The engine block heater control measure was evaluated in 2023 and measure updates took place
in early 2024. The program is also working to diversify program participation throughout the
measure categories, specifically HVAC and Whole Building to improve cost effectiveness results.
The existing homes rebate program channel transitioned program implementers to Evergreen
Consulting and the new homes rebate program channel transitioned to Resource Innovations.
The transitions included new and updated websites, web pages, and rebate portals. Additional
rebate payment options were introduced to customers participating in the existing homes
program; options include direct deposit to debit card or bank account, electronic transfer via
Zelle or PayPal, or mailed check. Rebate payments made via direct deposit or electronic transfer
are completed within 5 business days of an approved application; while mailed rebate payments
Page 6 of 22
are sent within 7 business days. Trade allies and builders also have the option to receive rebate
payments via electronic funds transfer.

LOW INCOME WEATHERIZATION
Program Description
The Low-Income Weatherization program provides energy efficiency services through a
partnership between the Company and local non-profit agencies to residential customers who
meet the income-eligible guidelines.Services are provided at no cost to the program participants.
The Company contracts with Eastern Idaho Community Action Partnership, Inc. ("EICAP") and
Southeastern Idaho Community Action Agency ("SEICAA") to provide services. The two agencies
receive federal funds allocated to and administered by the Idaho Department of Health and
Welfare ("IDHW"). Energy efficiency measures are installed in the homes of income eligible
households throughout the Company's service territory by EICAP and SEICAA. The Company is
required to fund 85 percent of the cost of approved measures, pursuant to Commission Order
No. 32151. Under Advice No. 19-01, filed with Idaho Public Utilities Commission on
January 16, 2019, the Commission approved reimbursement of up to 100 percent of related
installed costs of ductless heat pumps, effective March 6, 2019. Agencies cover remaining costs
with the funding received by IDHW.
The Low-Income Weatherization program's PTRC results in 2023 included a cost benefit ratio of
0.49 when excluding non-energy benefits, and 6.79 when including non-energy benefits. Under
direction of Case No. GNR-E12-01, the Low-Income Weatherization program uses the 10 percent
conservation adder to the total resource cost test as its primary cost test. Cost effectiveness is
informed by the use a single-family heat pump load profile in lieu of a single-family cooling load
profile or single-heating load profile to value the timing of energy savings. Several measures
installed through the program save energy throughout the year and not just the summer or
winter months,therefore a heat pump load profile was selected to reflect energy savings in both
winter and summer months.
Program Performance and Major Achievements in 2023
■ In 2023, the program achieved savings at site of 103,661 kWh serving 45 homes.
Low Income Energy Conservation Education
Commission Order No. 32788 authorized the Company to fund the Low-Income Energy
Conservation Education with $25,000 annually. These education services are provided by EICAP
and SEICAA and target participants who receive Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program
("LIHEAP") funds and Lend A Hand. EICAP received $16,000 funding in 2023 calendar year prior
Page 8 of 22
to LIHEAP program season. SEICAA did not request funds in 2023 as they had unused funds
carried over from CY 2020 and CY 2021.
Commission Order No. 35814 issued May 13, 2023, directed the Company to conduct in-house
audits of the two partner agencies, EICAP and SEICAA, that administer the Energy Conservation
Education program, due to program expenditures and energy savings kit inventory for years 2020
- 2021 reporting discrepancies.
Furthermore, the Order directed the Company to provide audit results in the next annual report
and any necessary adjustments included in the Company's next prudency filing. And Staff
recommended the Company use the opportunityto establish data tracking, reporting,and quality
control processes with both agencies.
The Company's Low Income Program Manager conducted in-house agency audits in the fall of
2023.The visits occurred September 27, 2023,with EICAP, and September 28, 2023,with SEICAA.
The audit focused on review of existing tracking mechanisms, kits inventory verification, and the
development and/or improvement of tracking mechanisms.
At the time of the audits, both agencies had exhausted energy savings kit inventory and were in
the process of ordering or awaiting shipment of new kits. EICAP had an established tracking
report in their database for kits and expenditures, which has been in place for several years.
SEICAA was developing a new data tracking mechanism for program expenditures and kit
inventory. Due to personnel changes and the departure of the staff overseeing the conservation
education program, SEICAA researched through available tracking records for kit inventory and
tried to reconcile reports as best as possible.
The Company used the in-house audit to work closely with the agencies to establish a uniform
tracking mechanism to be utilized by both agencies for ongoing program tracking and reporting.
Also, to monitor funding and kits inventory closely, agencies will provide quarterly program
reports versus annual reports in 2024, with reporting cadence re-evaluated at the end of 2024
calendar year.
In-house audit findings:
EICAP — audit did not disclose any findings requiring corrective action. The discrepancies
identified during prudency review were corrected during the time of prudency review and
confirmed at the in-house audit.
SEICAA— audit was inconclusive due to lack of kit inventory tracking records for the years 2020
through 2022 to validate inventory counts. SEICAA confirmed there were nine remaining kits at
the end of 2022 calendar year and kits were distributed prior to the in-house audit in fall 2023.
Funding balance and expenditures were reconciled.
The agencies provided a conservation education curriculum to households and reported the
following activities and program specifics for 2023 in Table 1 below.

PEAK REDUCTION PROGRAMS
IRRIGATION LOAD CONTROL
Program Description
The irrigation load control program is offered to irrigation customers receiving electric service on
Schedule 10, Irrigation and Soil Drainage Pumping Power Service. Participants enroll in the
program with a third-party program administrator and allow the curtailment of their electricity
usage in exchange for an incentive. Participant incentives are based on the site's average
available load during load control program hours, adjusted by opt-outs or non-participation.
Participant incentives are issued by the program administrator after the season has ended. The
incentive compensates irrigators for the additional cost of interrupting their irrigation pumping
during program hours.
For most Participants, their irrigation pumps are set up with a dispatchable two-way control
system giving Rocky Mountain Power control over their loads. Participants are notified 4 hours
ahead of control events and can opt-out of dispatch events. Each opt-out will reduce a
Participant's final incentive.
In 2023, the mandatory program season was from May 301" through August 18'. The voluntary
program season started after August 18t"through September 30t"; however, no voluntary events
were scheduled in 2023. Events were scheduled from 2pm to 9pm Mountain Standard Time,
Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. Each event was scheduled with 4 hours of
notification.
The Irrigation Load control program passed the UCT cost test for 2023.
Program Performance and Major Achievements in 2023
■ There were 8 load control events initiated in 2023, all of which were mandatory.
■ The available load from the Irrigation Program are utilized as reserves, which provides
value to the program and benefits the customer.
■ 123 customers participated in the program across 1,049 sites.
■ Total enrolled MW (at Gen) in 2023 was 197. The maximum realized MW (at Gen) was
125.

WATTSMART BATTERIES
Program Performance and Major Achievements in 2023
• In 2023, Rocky Mountain Power called upon customers' batteries 61 times. Each event
was 5-minutes in duration for a total time of 5 hours and 5 minutes between January and
December.
• The total dispatch duration was less than 3 complete battery cycles for customers
enrolled for the entire year.
• All customer batteries enrolled in the program prior to the called events responded.
There were no battery communication failures.
• All new customer enrollments included battery and solar. No commercial batteries were
enrolled in the program during 2023.
• During 2023,there were 551 new customers interconnected with solar with 97 customers
completing the enrollment process into the Wattsmart Battery Program. The enrollment
application for customer generation versus the enrollment in Wattsmart Batteries is a
separate process. It is anticipated that many of the solar enrollments will eventually enroll
in the battery program.
Program Description
The Wattsmart Batteries program promotes and incentivizes the installation of qualified
individual batteries for system-wide integration and use for overall electric grid management.
Leveraging batteries has created an opportunity to maximize renewable energy for advancing a
sustainable electric grid. The batteries may be used for frequency response, peak load
management, transmission relief, daily load cycling, and other smart grid applications. Batteries
participating in the Wattsmart Battery Program are integrated within PacifiCorp's Energy
Management System to provide real-time grid benefits.
Eligible customers who participate in the program receive an enrollment incentive based on the
kW size of their battery and participation commitment, and ongoing annual incentives for
continued participation.
The battery program passed the UCT test using a 20-year NPV.

WATTSMART BUSINESS DEMAND RESPONSE
Program Description
The Wattsmart Business Demand Response Program is designed to provide financial incentives
to commercial and industrial (C&I non-residential) customers who curtail load during Company
initiated events. The Program may be utilized to provide peak load reduction, contingency
reserves, frequency response, and other grid services to assist with effectively managing the
overall electric grid. The Program is designed to work with large commercial and industrial
customers who have curtailable loads greater than 500 kW that can be curtailed with no advance
notice or limited advance notice. An automated dispatch without advanced notice and a total
response time within 50 seconds is considered a real-time event, and a dispatch event with an
advanced notice and response within 7 minutes is considered an advanced notice event.
Program Performance and Major Achievements in 2023
Demand response for non-residential customers is a new offering and is taking time develop and
market to potential customers. The program was approved effective April 1, 2023, and outreach
and marketing started immediately.
Company representatives and its consultants are meeting with large commercial and industrial
customers to identify opportunities for participation. The Company and consultant are
developing site-specific demand response strategies for potential participating customers and
their facilities. Due to the complexity associated with these large customers and the significant
amount of load being curtailed, the timeline for enrollment typically takes 6-9 months.

COST EFFECTIVENESS
TOTAL COST EFFECTIVENESS RESULTS BY PORTFOLIO AND PROGRAM
Program cost effectiveness is performed using a Company specific modeling tool, created by a
third-party consultant. The tool is designed to incorporate PacifiCorp data and values such as
avoided costs, and generally follows the methodology specified in California's Standard Practice
Manual. The analysis assesses the costs and benefits of DSM resource programs from different
stakeholder perspectives, including participants and non-participants, based on four tests
described in the Standard Practice Manual (TRC, UCT, PCT and RIM) as well as an additional fifth
test, PTRC.
Each of the cost effectiveness tests for Rocky Mountain Power's programs are outlined below.
The primary cost/benefit test observed in Idaho is the UCT for all programs other than the Low-
Income Weatherization program, which uses the PTRC.11
• PacifiCorp Total Resource Test (PTRC) is the total resource cost test with an additional
10% added to the net benefit side of the benefit/cost formula to account for non-
quantified environmental and non-energy benefits of conservation resources over supply
side alternatives.
• Total Resource Cost (TRC) Test considers the benefits and costs from the perspective of
all utility customers, comparing the total costs and benefits from both the utility and
utility customer perspectives.
9 For the 2023 season, the program concentrated on customer meetings to promote the program to potential
customers and help customers start the process of identifying how to participate. No customers were enrolled to
participate during the 2023 season.
io Under direction of Case No. GNR-E-12-01, Low Income Weatherization program uses the 10 percent energy
conservation adder to the total resource cost test.
Page 20 of 22
• Utility Cost (UCT)Test, also called the program administrator cost test, provides a benefit
to cost perspective from the utility only. The test compares the total utility cost incurred
to the benefit/value of the energy and capacity saved and contains no customer costs or
benefits in calculation of the ratio.
• Participant Cost Test (PCT) compares the portion of the resource paid directly by
participants to the savings realized by the participants.
• Ratepayer Impact Cost Test (RIM) examines the impact of energy efficiency expenditures
on non-participating ratepayers overall. Unlike supply-side investments, energy efficiency
programs reduce energy sales. Reduced sales typically lower revenue requirements while
putting near-term upward pressure on the rates remaining fixed costs are spread over
fewer kilowatt-hours.

Portfolio-level cost effectiveness includes portfolio costs, such as the Potential Assessment and
DSM system database. Sector-level cost effectiveness, reported in the Residential and Non-
Residential sections of this report, includes sector-specific evaluation, measurement, and
verification expenditures. The Company includes quantifiable non-energy impacts at the
portfolio and residential level, as well as the Wattsmart Homes and Low Income Weatherization
program level.
11 Cost effectiveness memo details are provided in Appendix A.
1z The Low Income Weatherization and Wattsmart Homes programs include non-energy impacts.
13 A"Pass"designation equates to a benefit cost ratio of 1.0 or better.
14 Low Income Weatherization conservation education funding is excluded from the program level cost
effectiveness testing, but is included in the portfolio and residential sector cost effectiveness.

EVALUATIONS
Evaluations are performed by independent external evaluators to validate energy and demand
savings derived from the Company's energy efficiency programs. Industry best practices are
adopted by the Company with regards to principles of operation, methodologies, evaluation
methods, and protocols including those outlined in the National Action Plan for Energy Efficiency
Program Impact Evaluation and the California Evaluation Framework guides.
A component of the overall evaluation efforts is aimed at the reasonable verification of
installations of energy efficient measures and associated documentation through review of
documentation, surveys and/or ongoing onsite inspections.
Verification of the potential to achieve savings involves regular inspection and commissioning of
equipment. The Company engages in programmatic verification activities, including inspections,
quality assurance reviews, and tracking checks and balances as part of routine program
implementation and may rely upon these practices in the verification of installation information
for the purposes of savings verifications in advance of more formal impact evaluation results.
Evaluation, measurement, and verification tasks are segregated within the Company organization
to ensure they are performed and managed by personnel who are not directly responsible for
program management.
Information on evaluation activities completed or in progress during 2023 summarized in the
chart below. Completed evaluation reports are available at the following link, under the "Reports
and program evaluations by state" section: https://www.pacificorp.com/environment/demand-side-

PacifiCorp's Planned Changes to Wattsmart Business in Idaho
January 2023
PacifiCorp is planning modifications to the Wattsmart Business energy efficiency incentive
program ("Program"), which is offered through Schedule 140. Consistent with the flexible tariff
process' documented and approved in Case No.PAC-E-12-10,notice of the changes will be posted
on the program website2 45 days prior to implementation.Proposed changes to the incentive tables
are included in Exhibit A.
BACKGROUND
The Wattsmart Business program is available to PacifiCorp's commercial, industrial, and
agricultural customers in Idaho and offers incentives for prescriptive, custom and energy
management measures. Incentives are available for both retrofit projects and new
construction/major renovation projects.
DESCRIPTION OF PLANNED WATTSMART BUSINESS CHANGES
Proposed adjustments are listed below, with further explanation provided in subsequent sections.
1. Add, adjust, and discontinue incentives and offerings throughout the Program.
MEASURE UPDATES
As a result of the Company's ongoing review of its offerings, including reviews of eligibility
requirements, savings assumptions, and incentive levels, several proposed changes have been
identified to improve Program offerings. The purpose of these changes is to better align with
current measure research,market conditions,and cost effectiveness thresholds. The sections below
describe the proposed changes for each measure category. It should be noted that the sections and
tables below only reference measures with proposed changes and do not constitute a
comprehensive list of all Program offerings in each category. Current Program offerings that are
not specified in the sections below will remain unchanged.
Lighting System Retrofits
• Interior Lighting — It is proposed to increase the non-prescriptive maximum "up to"
incentive to $0.22/kWh, and increase the offered incentives for new fixtures and retrofit
kits to reflect changing market prices.

Small Business Enhanced Incentives
The Company's Small Business Enhanced ("SBE") program, previously known as the Small
Business Direct Install program,allows customers to work with approved vendors to install energy
efficient lighting and non-lighting upgrades at their facility. To encourage customers to install
more non-lighting measures, the SBE program will begin to cap lighting incentives at $5,500 and
allocate $2,000 for non-lighting measures. The current maximum incentive amount for the SBE
program will remain at$7,500 per facility, and customers will remain responsible for a 25 percent
co-pay on project costs.

From: Dimitry Burdjalov and Andy Hudson, Applied Energy Group
CC: Clay Monroe, Rocky Mountain Power
Date: December 22, 2022
Re: Idaho Wattsmart Business Program Cost-Effectiveness Analysis — PY2023
AEG estimated the cost-effectiveness of Rocky Mountain Power's Wattsmart Business Program in the state of
Idaho based on Program Year (PY) 2023 costs and savings estimates developed by implementers, checked by
AEG, and confirmed by Rocky Mountain Power. This memo provides cost-effectiveness results at the program
level. The program passes the Utility Cost Test (UCT) and the Participant Cost Test (PCT) under these conditions.
This memo provides analysis inputs and results in the following tables:
Table 1: Cost-Effectiveness Analysis Inputs
Table 2: Annual Program Costs by Program Year, Nominal - PY2023
Table 3: Annual Savings in kWh by Program Year - PY2023

The following assumptions were utilized in the analysis:
Avoided Costs: Hourly values provided by Rocky Mountain Power based on the 2021 Integrated Resource
Plan IRP) Preferred Portfolio, converted into annual values using Idaho load shapes from the same IRP.
Modeling Inputs: measure savings, costs, measure lives, incentive levels, program delivery, and portfolio
costs were based on estimates developed by implementers, developed or reviewed by AEG, or provided
by Rocky Mountain Power.
Other Economic Assumptions: Discount rate, line loss, retail rate, and inflation rate values were provided by
Rocky Mountain Power and are presented in Table 1 below.
The following tables summarize cost-effectiveness assumptions and results for the Idaho Wattsmart Business
Program. The cost-effectiveness analysis inputs are shown in Table 2 and Table 3 below. Tables 4 and 5 present
