Re: PacifiCorp Notice of Affiliate Transaction PacifiCorp and Kern River Gas
Transmission Company.
Case No. PAC-E-05-8
Pursuant to Commitment I 17(2), incorporated in the Idaho Public Utilities Commission
Order No.29973,issued February 13,2006,as supplemented by Order No.29998 March 14,2006,
in the above-referenced proceeding, approving the acquisition of PacifiCorp by MidAmerican
Energy Holdings Company (now Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company or BHE), PacifiCorp
hereby provides notice of an affiliated interest transaction with the Kern River Gas Transmission
Company ("KRGT"). The parties entered into an agreement whereby PacifiCorp will obtain an
encroachment permit(the"Permit")from KRGT.The Permit allows PacifiCorp to install electrical
facilities across KRGT's pipelines and right-of-way in Utah County, Utah. A verified copy of the
Permit is included here with this notice as Attachment A.
PacifiCorp is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company
(`BHE"). KRGT is also a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of BHE. Therefore,BHE's ownership
interest in both entities creates an affiliated interest relationship between PacifiCorp and KRGT.
A pipeline system owned and operated by KRGT transports natural gas to several western
states. Some of its Utah pipelines are sited within Utah County in an area used by PacifiCorp. This
Permit is needed by PacifiCorp to install a new power conduit across KRGT's pipelines and right-
of-way to provide service to customers. For the safe operation of KRGT's and PacifiCorp's
facilities, PacifiCorp will carry out the installation in compliance with the encroachment
specifications included in Attachment A. Acquiring the Permit is in the public interest because it
facilitates PacifiCorp's service to its customers.
The Permit will be provided at no cost with the understanding that PacifiCorp will cause
the encroachment at no expense to KRGT, and that PacifiCorp shall be responsible for restoring
all land that was disturbed by its encroachment.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
