2. The Company presents the 2022 and 2023 annual energy efficiency and peak
reduction reports ("Annual Reports"),' results of program cost effective analyses,' and third-
party program evaluations.3
BACKGROUND
3. The Company has offered a variety of DSM programs to its customers since the
1970s. All of the DSM programs offered by Rocky Mountain Power in Idaho have been
designed to be cost effective. On March 2, 2006, the Commission approved an enhanced set
of DSM programs and cost recovery of them through the Customer Efficiency Services Rate
Adjustment("Schedule 191"), which was applied to customers' bills beginning May 1, 2006.
4. This Application and the 2022 and 2023 Annual Reports are consistent with the
Memorandum of Understanding the Company entered into in Case No. GNR-E-12-01, and
approved by Order No. 32788 ("MOU"). Pursuant to this MOU, Rocky Mountain Power filed
energy efficiency and peak reduction reports with the Commission for program years 2022 and
2023 under Case No. PAC-E-05-10. These reports follow the format set forth in the MOU and
evaluate DSM program performance, including expenditures, savings, and cost effectiveness.
5. During 2022 and 2023, the Company's DSM portfolio, funded through
Schedule 191, consisted of four energy efficiency programs and two load management
programs, excluding Irrigation Load Control. These programs offered incentives for a wide
variety of energy efficiency measures to the Company's residential, business and agricultural

continues to work with customers and the Commission to provide a comprehensive suite of
DSM programs that provide the greatest opportunity for participation by all customer sectors.
6. DSM programs offered by the Company provide a wide range of services and
financial incentives to assist customers with energy efficiency projects they wish to pursue.
During the 2022-2023 period, the Company administered the following programs funded
through Schedule 191:
Energy Efficiency Programs:
• Schedule 21 —Low Income Weatherization/Low Income Education("LIW")
• Schedule 118—Residential Energy Efficiency("Wattsmart Homes")
• Schedule 140—Non-Residential Energy Efficiency("Wattsmart Business")
• Home Energy Reports ("HER") - not tariffed
Load Management Programs:
• Schedule 114—Wattsmart Battery Demand Response
• Schedule 114—Commercial and Industrial Demand Response
PROGRAM EXPENDITURES
7. The Company requests a Commission determination that the DSM expenditures
utilizing collections from Schedule 191 totaling $9,102,982, which represents $4,194,713 for
2022 and $4,908,269 for 2023, were prudent and in the public interest. The expenditures
submitted in this Application represent the activities that took place during program years 2022
and 2023 through a year-end cost true-up process,and excludes the Company's Irrigation Load
Control("ILC")program expenditures given that ILC program expenditures are not recovered
through Schedule 191.

DSM SAVINGS AND COST EFFECTIVENESS
9. The annual energy efficiency portfolio savings achieved through the
Company's Schedule 191 DSM programs were 16,017 MWh in 2022 and 18,812 MWh for
APPLICATION OF Page 4
ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER
2023,measured at generation and first-year savings. The Wattsmart Battery Demand Response
program achieved 47 kW in 2022 and 619 kW in 2023. The Wattsmart Commercial and
Industrial Demand Response program was implemented in 2023, but did not have any called
events as the program was ramping up.
10. The Company examines its programs from all cost effective tests, including the
PacifiCorp Total Resource Cost ("PTRC"), Total Resource Cost ("TRC"), Utility Cost Test
("UCT"), Ratepayer Impact Measure ("RIM"), and Participant Cost Test ("PCT") at the
measure category: program-level, sector-level and portfolio-level. Pursuant to Commission
Order No. 33766,issued May 18,2017,the Company uses the UCT as the primary determinant
for cost effectiveness. However,the Low Income Weatherization program still uses the PTRC
test authorized by Commission Order No. 32788, issued April 12, 2013.
11. In 2022 and 2023, the energy efficiency portfolio as a whole was cost effective
from the UCT perspective. Tables 3 and 4 below summarize the cost effective results from the
2022-2023 period. As avoided costs are considered proprietary, the cost effectiveness results
for load control programs are provided with a "pass" designation, which equates to a benefit
to cost ratio of 1.0 or better. Additional cost effectiveness details for the Company's DSM
programs can be found in Appendix A and Confidential Appendix B to the 2022 and 2023
Annual Reports.

As reflected above,the Low Income Weatherization program did not pass the PTRC in
2022, but did pass the PTRC in 2023. As reflected in Table 4, the Wattsmart Homes program
received a UCT result of 0.68 for 2023. 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 2023 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 participation throughout the measure categories, specifically HVAC
and Whole Building, to improve cost effectiveness results.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY TARGETS
12. Table 5 below is a comparison of the Company's energy efficiency portfolio
performance with the achievable technical potential identified in the Company's conservation
potential assessment ("CPA") and the IRP selections over the 2022-2023 period. Consistent
with the Northwest Power and Conservation Council's regional power plans, the Company's
APPLICATION OF Page 6
ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER
CPA uses acquisition ramp rates and assumes that 85 percent of the technical potential is
achievable over 20 years to account for real world constraints affecting the acquisition of
energy efficiency resources. Absent the achievability assumption and ramp rates, all
discretionary resources (those that can technically be acquired at any time)would be available
at the start of the planning period, which is unrealistic from both a planning and acquisition
standpoint.

13. As shown in Table 5, from 2022 through 2023 the Company achieved 23,072
MWh of energy efficiency savings in Idaho, excluding savings from Home Energy Reports,
equating to 93 percent of the 24,824 MWh selected by the IRP. IRP savings are based on
assumed typical acquisition rates,whereas actual program performance can fluctuate from year
to year based on factors such as economic conditions and the timing of large project
completions.
LOW INCOME AUDITS
14. The Company's Low Income Energy Conservation Education program is
administered by two partner agencies, Eastern Idaho Community Action Partnership
("EICAP")and Southeastern Idaho Community Action Agency("SEICAA").Due to reporting

discrepancies for program expenditures and energy savings kit inventory for years 2020-2021,
and pursuant to Order No. 35814 issued May 13, 2023 in Case No. PAC-E-22-12, the
Commission directed the Company to conduct in-house audits of EICAP and SEICAA, and
discuss the findings in its next prudency filing. Accordingly, The Company's Low Income
Program Manager conducted in-house audits in the fall of 2023. The visits occurred
September 27, 2023 with EICAP, and September 28, 2023 with SEICAA. The audits focused
on review of existing tracking mechanisms, kits inventory verification, and the development
and/or improvement of tracking mechanisms.
15. 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. EICAP's in-house audit did not disclose any findings requiring corrective
action. Due to personnel changes and the departure of staff overseeing the conservation
education program, SEICAA's in-audit was inconclusive. SIECAA researched through
available tracking records in an attempt to reconcile kit inventory,however due to a lack of kit
inventory tracking records for the years 2020 through 2022 to validate inventory counts, a
completed reconciliation was impracticable. 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. The funding balance and expenditures were reconciled.
16. The Company used the in-house audits to work closely with EICAP and
SIECAA 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. A Low Income Conservation Education Report
for Calendar Year 2020 through the first quarter of 2024 was provided as Appendix F to the
2023 Annual Report.
REVISED 2022 ANNUAL REPORT
17. Attached to this Application as Exhibit A is a Revised 2022 Annual Report. The
Company's previously submitted 2022 Annual Report inadvertently excluded savings and
expenditure details for the Irrigation Load Control and Wattsmart Battery programs in
Table 3. The Revised 2022 Annual Report includes these details. The Revised 2022 Annual
Report also includes additional details for the Wattsmart Battery program in Table 11, and
added a program evaluation section at the end. No changes were made to the 2022 Annual
Report Appendices,but are included with the Revised 2022 Report for convenience.
PROGRAM EVALUATIONS
18. Evaluations are conducted using best-practice approaches and techniques
including those outlined in the National Action Plan for Energy Efficiency Program Impact
Evaluation and the California Evaluation Framework guides. The Company conducts process
and/or impact evaluations to ensure the ongoing cost effective of its energy efficiency
programs through validation of energy savings and to provide information to assist in program
management.
19. Process evaluations assess program delivery,from design to implementation,in
order to identify efficiencies, including identifying what worked, what did not work,
constraints, and potential improvements. Identifying opportunities for improvement is
essential to making corrections along the way.
APPLICATION OF Page 9
ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER
20. Impact evaluations determine the impacts(e.g.energy and demand savings)that
directly result from a program. They also support analyses of cost effectiveness aimed at
identifying relative program costs and benefits.
21. Evaluations are based on credible and transparent methods focused on
successfully capturing the savings created by the programs. Evaluations develop retrospective
estimates of energy savings attributable to a program. While retrospective in nature, the
information obtained will be used to inform future potential assessments, plans, forecasts and
targets.
22. Process and impact evaluations for the Wattsmart Business 2020-2021, Home
Energy Reports 2020-2021, and Low Income Weatherization 2018-2019 programs were
published during the 2022-2023 prudency timeframe and included in the 2022 and 2023
Annual Reports.5
MODIFIED PROCEDURE
23. The Company believes that consideration of the proposals contained in this
Application do not require an evidentiary proceeding, and accordingly requests that this
Application be processed under modified procedure pursuant to RP 201-204,which allows for
consideration of these issues by written submissions rather than by an evidentiary hearing. If,
however,the Commission determines that an evidentiary proceeding is required,the Company
stands ready to provide supporting testimony.

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 86,874 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,

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, Commission approved reimbursement of up to 100% 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 did not pass the PTRC with a cost benefit ratio of 0.9S
for 2022. Under direction of Case No. GNR-E12-01, Low Income Weatherization program uses
the 10 percent conservation adder to the total resource cost test as its primary cost test. Cost-
effectiveness was partially affected by the use a single-family heat pump load profile in lieu of a
single-family cooling 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 months,
therefore a heat pump load profile was selected to reflect energy savings in non-summer months.
Program Performance and Major Achievements in 2022
■ In 2022, the program achieved savings at site of 31,995
■ Number of homes served 27
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. EICAP received $16,000 program year ("PY") 2022 funding by the beginning of
their 2022/2023 LIHEAP program year. SEICAA did not request funds in 2022 as they had funds
from PY 2019 and PY 2021 to spend. SEICAA did not purchase kits as they had inventory of kits
purchased in 2019 to distribute. COVID-19 restrictions in operations slowed the distribution of
kits in PY 2020 and PY 2021 and increased in PY 2022

Program Performance and Major Achievements in 2022
■ In 2022, the program achieved gross energy savings at site of 6,940,859 kWh.
■ Distributed incentives of$863,132.
■ To foster continued growth and utilization of the Wattsmart Business Vendor Network
(WBVN) and to increase customer satisfaction,the Company continued to employ full-
time outreach specialist dedicated to Idaho. This staff member provides an outreach
and support role to both vendors and customers interested in lighting as well as non-
lighting incentives.
■ In 2022, participating WBVN vendors continued receiving quarterly vendor
performance scorecards to provide timely feedback and encourage vendors to strive
to reach "Premium" status, which entitles qualifying vendors to improved visibility
and enhanced co-branding with Rocky Mountain Power. In 2022, there were three
premium status Wattsmart Business Vendors.
■ Several challenges presented themselves in 2022 leading to lower savings in the
Wattsmart Business Program than in years past.
o Significant supply chain disruptions had a negative effect on program energy
savings achievements.
o Due to supply timelines and project lifecycles, there were no large energy
savings projects completed in CY 2022 by the largest industrial customers
within the utility service territory. The Company expects this to be rectified in
2023 through focused outreach efforts began in 2022.

WATTSMART BATTERIES
Program Performance and Major Achievements in 2022
• Rocky Mountain Power called upon the batteries for a total of 40 minutes which equates
to less than one battery cycle being used by Rocky Mountain Power during 2022.
• All customer batteries enrolled in the program prior to the called events responded.
There were no battery communication failures.
• New customer enrollment with batteries and new solar only installs during the same
period
• No commercial batteries were enrolled in the program during 2022.
• During 2022 there were 486 new customers interconnected with solar with seven
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 unique process. It is expected 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 because the net benefits exceeded
the program costs, however, did not pass using the 1-year NPV. This is primarily due to the
program having high upfront incentives and limited participation during the first year of the
program.

COST EFFECTIVENESS
—OTAL 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 is 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.9
• 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.
• 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.

conservation adder to the total resource cost test.

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.
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
10 Cost-effectiveness memo detail is provided in Appendix A.
11 The Low-Income Weatherization and Wattsmart Homes programs include non-energy impacts.
1z A"Pass" designation equates to a benefit cost ratio of 1.0 or better.

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 2022 are summarized in the
