Michael,
I know you're still messenger guy here, but"I can confirm" isn't sufficient
confirmation. I think we need a straightforward explanation how Section 6
only applies to customers without historical demand when there's no
mention of it in that section.Sufficient confirmation,at least for our part, is
a very clear paper trail within the tariff itself that explicitly states
Section 6 only applies to no-demand history situations.
I'm also still unclear how Idaho Powerjustifies"application approved in
error"when the client spent literally hundreds of thousands of dollars
based on prior approvals. Idaho Power created this situation by first
sending an email to me indicating Section 6 as a way to use pump size
instead of peak demand for net metered system sizing and second
approving an application based on pump size then attempting to rescind
approval. How does Idaho Power propose to remedy this situation?

Good morning Aaron and Adam,
Thanks for your patience as we have dug into the applications you have
submitted. Because there is historical billing information at each of these
service points, Idaho Power will evaluate the maximum demand as
follows, which is consistent with Schedule 84: "The Generation Facility
must have a total nameplate rating equal to or less than the greater of: (a)
the greatest monthly Billing Demand established during the most recent
12-month period at the time of applying for interconnection, which
includes and ends with the most recent Billing Period, or (b) 100 kW."
As that relates to the four applications for interconnection that have been
submitted, please note the following maximize size for each:
Pump Max Requested Notes
Historical System Size
kW
0403 (ID 174 200 Max system size allowed
21027) under the tariff is 174kW.
The existing transformer is
150 kW, so the maximum
allowable size for an on-
site generation system
without requiring upgrades
is 165 kW.
0302 (ID 168 200 Application needs to be
21036) resubmitted; max system
size allowed under the
tariff is 168 kW. No
upgrades needed to Idaho
Power facilities to
accommodate.
0902 (ID XX 100 System approved for
21029) interconnection as
submitted

1601 (ID 136 120 System approved for
21028) interconnection as
submitted
You have previously inquired about the applicability of Section 6(ii) and I
can confirm that section is only applicable when a customer does not
have a historical billing demand available for determination. My apologies
for the application that was approved in error on 5/10/24 for pump 0302
(ID 21036). After further review and as communicated on 5/24/24, the
max system size allowed for this application is 168 kW.
