Company has the right to interrupt service.
APPLICABLE: Available to qualifying customers on Schedule 10.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Eligible Customers can work with the Company to enroll
irrigation pumps to be used in load control events. Load control events shut off irrigation pumps
automatically at the start of an event and release control of the pumps at the end of the event,
allowing them to restart. Participating Customers receive incentive payments as compensation for
their participation in the program.Additional details for the program can be found on the Company
website at:
https://www.rockymountaippower.net/savin sg energy-choices/business/irrigation-load-
control.html.

Dispatch Mandatory Events according to the following criteria:
a) Dispatch Period: The nearest Monday on or before June 1 through the
nearest Friday on or after August 15.
b) Available Dispatch Hours: 2:00 PM to 9:00 PM Mountain Time.
c) Maximum Dispatch Hours: 52 hours per Program Year.

I.P.U.C.No. 1 Original Sheet No. 105.2
In the event of a system emergency, Rocky Mountain Power may, at its discretion, expand the
dispatch criteria beyond the parameters listed. Emergency events may be used to satisfy
requirements of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation(NERC) standard BAL-002-
WECC-2 for Contingency Reserve Obligation (CRO) and may be deployed when the utility is
experiencing a qualifying event as defined by the Northwest Power Pool.
• Voluntary Program Events: The Company shall have the right to dispatch
Voluntary Program Events as needed from the nearest Monday on or before June 1
through the nearest Friday on or after September 30. Voluntary Events are events
that occur outside any or all of the Mandatory Season dispatch parameters.
Participating Customers may choose to opt-out of Voluntary Program Events with
no penalties or reductions in their financial compensation for participation in the
Irrigation Load Control Program.
• Non-Discrimination: Eligible facilities of similar size, operations and ability to
participate will be treated in a fair and consistent manner. Any claims of
discriminatory treatment should be addressed through the consumer complaint
process on the Commission's website:
h!Ltps://puc.idaho.gov/Form/ConsumerAssistance/
• Participation: The Company or Program Provider shall have the right to qualify
program participants, at their sole discretion based on criteria the Company or
Program Provider considers necessary to ensure the effective operation of the
Program and utility system. Criteria may include,but will not be limited to: having
an eligible load control device installed on an enrolled pump,the Program Provider
having reliable communication with the installed load control device(including the
ability to receive data from the device and for the device to receive command
signals from the Program Provider), ability for the Program Provider to access an
enrolled pump for load control device installation and troubleshooting purposes,
impact on the Company's transmission and distribution system, and/or cost
effectiveness. A one-time enrollment fee per pump may apply if a program
participant's average pump size is less than 50 kW.
• Incentives: Participating Customers will be compensated according to the rates in
Table 1, with applicable adjustments for Average Available Load and Event
Participation. If a Customer opts out of any Mandatory Events, they will be
compensated utilizing the Base Incentive Rate. If a customer fully participates in
all Mandatory Events, meaning their pumps are off during all Mandatory Events,
they will be eligible to receive the Bonus Incentive Rate instead of the Base
Incentive Rate. Customers participating in Mandatory, Voluntary, and/or
Emergency Events will also receive an incentive payment based on the actual load
reduced multiplied by the Energy Reduction Payment Rate.

DEFINITIONS:
Available Dispatch Hours: Daily timeframe within which the Company may dispatch its load
control system(s).
Average Available Load: The average amount of load, measured in kilowatts, that a Customer's
pump can reliably shut-off during program hours.
Customer: Any parry who has applied for,been accepted,and receives service at the real property,
or is the electricity user at the real property.
Dispatch Days: The days upon which the Company may or may not dispatch its load control
system.
Dispatch Duration: The duration of time that load control events may be dispatched for.
Dispatch Parameters: The criteria within which the Company may dispatch its load control
system(s).
Dispatch Period: The calendar year timeframe within which the Company may dispatch its load
control system(s).
Event Participation: Event participation is measured by whether a Customer fully participates in
called events, or chooses to opt out. Participation is determined based on the status of an enrolled
pump during the event dispatch hours. Full participation in an event means that the enrolled pump
was off throughout the entire duration of the event. If at any time during the event the pump is
consuming power, that pump is considered to have opted out, and is thus not participating in the
event. If a Customer does not participate in any number of load control events, the Customer's
available load will be adjusted down by the percent of events in which they elected not to
participate.
Incentive: Payments of money or bill credits made by Company to Owner or Customer for
participation in a Load Management offer.
Maximum Dispatch Hours: The maximum amount of time the Company may dispatch its load
control system annually.
