impacts for the prior year. Of the $18,012,498 adjustment included in the
PAC-E-24-04/Rocky Mountain Power
August 19, 2024
IPUC Data Request 146
work paper, approximately $3,942,935 represents reversing out the refunds
included in the account.
• Pre-Merger Firm Wheeling Revenue—PPD: This account represents revenues
under legacy agreements with static rates. Thus, usage changes were not
evaluated due to revenue impacts as minimal.
• Non-Firm Wheeling Revenue: represents customers who acquire short-term
non-firm transmission. Revenue impacts flow through the formula rate
process, so adjustments not considered as this just ends up impacting the rate
assessed to long-term customers. In addition, that Company does not have
information to be able to determine usage from customers in the future as
there are numerous factors that impact the decisions in customers purchasing
transmission.
• Short-Term Firm Wheeling: represents customers who acquire short-term firm
transmission. Revenue impacts flow through the formula rate process, so
adjustments not considered as this just ends up impacting the rate assessed to
long-term customers. In addition, the Company does not have information to
be able to determine usage from customers in the future as there are numerous
factors that impact the decisions in customers purchasing transmission.
• Ancillary Rev Sch 6—Supp (Transm): This account represents ancillary
services for non-spin reserves and account used for tracking purposes. The
account balance is zero as revenue reflected in the below account.
• Ancillary Rev Sch 6 —Supp (C&T); This account represents ancillary services
for non-spin reserves. Rates for service are hourly and usage changes have
minimal impacts therefore GRC does not model changes.
• Ancil Revenue Sch 2 -Reactive (Transm); This account represents ancillary
services for reactive supply used for tracking purposes. The account balance is
zero as revenue reflected in the below account.
• Ancil Revenue Sch 2 -Reactive (C&T); This account represents ancillary
services for reactive supply. Usage impacts do not materially impact revenues
therefore no adjustments proposed.
• Ancil Revenue Sch 3a—Regulation (Trans); This account represents ancillary
services for generation regulation used for tracking purposes. The account
balance is zero as revenue reflected in the below account.
• Ancil Revenue Sch 3a—Regulation (C&T); This account represents ancillary
services for generation regulation. No adjustments were modeled as new
resources were not identified as having a material impact for 2025 and thus,
PAC-E-24-04/Rocky Mountain Power
August 19, 2024
IPUC Data Request 146
not included in the adjustments.
• Primary Delivery and Distribution Sub Charges; This account is used to track
the customers with contracts serving load in the balancing area and the
contracts have additional charges for load served at primary delivery voltage
or distribution substation charges. The account is less than 0.5 million per year
and rates are changes in load volumes are not going to have a large impact on
the revenues.
• Ancillary Revenue Sch 3 —Reg&Freq(Transm); This account represents
ancillary services for regulation charges for customers serving load. This
account is used for tracking purposes. The account balance is zero as revenue
reflected in the below account.
• Ancillary Revenue Sch 3 —Reg&Freq(C&T); This account represents
ancillary services for regulation charges for customers serving load. There are
no adjustments to this account as the impact on revenues for changes in load is
not material.
• Ancillary Rev Sch 5 —Spin (Transm): This account represents ancillary
services for spin reserves and is the same activity as reported in account
below. The account balance is zero as revenue reflected in the below account.
• Ancillary Rev Sch 5 -Spin (C&T): This account represents ancillary services
for spin reserves. Rates for service are hourly and usage changes have
minimal impacts therefore GRC does not model changes.
• I/C Anc Rev Sch 1- Scheduling -Nevada Pwr 302082; This account is used to
track charges with Nevada Power covering Schedule 1 —Scheduling and
Dispatch Services of the tariff. No adjustments or made to this account as
similar to commentary for non-firm and short-term firm wheeling activity.
• I/C Anc Rev Sch 2- Scheduling -Nevada Pwr 302092; This account is used to
track charges with Nevada Power covering Schedule 2—Reactive Supply of
the tariff. No adjustments or made to this account as similar to commentary
for non-firm and short-term firm wheeling activity.

• I/C Other Wheeling Revenue—Sierra Pac; This account is used to track
activity with this customer, which is a fixed charge under $50k/year. No
anticipated changes in the next few years.
• Use of Facility Revenue; This account is used to track activity with customers
with fixed charges per the agreement. Balance is under $1.0m annually. No
adjustments identified to occur in the next several years.
• Transmission Capacity Resales; This account is used to manage the
accounting for resales where the transmission provider is the banker. There is
not financial impact as the transmission provider collects 100% of the tariff
rate and passes through the impacts between the seller and buyer. No
adjustments necessary as there is no financial impacts for these transactions.
• Transmission Capacity Resales; This account is used to manage the
accounting for resales where the transmission provider is the banker. There is
not financial impact as the transmission provider collects 100% of the tariff
rate and passes through the impacts between the seller and buyer.No
adjustments necessary as there is no financial impacts for these transactions.
• Transmission Resales to Other Parties; This account is used to track resale
activity and represent the amounts buyer paid for the capacity at tariff. No
adjustments necessary as we do not forecast resale activity as there is no
financial impact for the resale,just a transaction exchange between buyer and
seller.
• Transmission Rev-Unreserved Use Charges; This account is used to track
charges for unauthorized use of transmission by customers. Customers are
assessed 200% of the transmission charge with 100% representing a penalty
that is offset in transmission expense for refunds to 3rd parties or retained to
cover the portion of penalty refund to be allocated to retail customers.
Generally no adjustments are provided as the portion of 100% of the charge is
a revenue credit in the formula rate. However, in this case an out of period
adjustment of$558,661.36 was added as an adjustment in error.
• Transmission Schedule 3 Refund Reserve: Account used for tracking purposes
as a result of the ancillary rate case. Account not presently in use.
• Transmission Schedule 3a Refund Reserve: Account used for tracking
purposes as a result of the ancillary rate case. Account not presently in use.

(a) Please explain whether $208,356,059 is the forecasted PTC value in 2024;
(b) Please explain whether"Calendar Year 2023" in Line 6 should have been
"Calendar Year 2024";
(c) Please explain how each wind facility's monthly generation amount is

(d) If the OFPC natural gas forecasts in Aurora are changed, please explain if
each wind facility's monthly generation amount will change; andl
(e) If coal prices in Aurora are changed, please explain if each wind facility's
monthly generation amount will change.
Response to IPUC Data Request 149
(a) The forecasted production tax credit (PTC) value of$208,356,059 for the test
period is based on the 2025 net power costs (NPC) forecast, adjusted to 2023
weather normalized loads. The Company listed the date as 2023 consistent
with the weather normalized load forecast use for NPC.
(b) Please refer to the Company's response to subpart(a) above.
(c) In the context of PTCs, the Company first creates a wind forecast using either
48 months of wind history to create an annual capacity factor(CF) for
resources that have been in-service for 48 months or more, or an estimated
CF based on the economic analysis produced during the initial phases of each
project's development for resources that do not have 48 months of generation
history, to scale an hourly calendar year generation profile.
Once the expected wind forecast has been input into the Aurora model, final
wind generation is determined in-model through the security constrained
economic dispatch which ensures that relevant generation stays within the
bounds of relevant transmission capacity, consistent with actual operations.
Then, the Company uses the monthly generation produced by the Aurora
simulation from the NPC report and adjusts Glenrock I, Rolling Hills and
Glenrock III as stated in McCoy's work paper"7.6.1" section (b).
(d) Yes. Because Aurora is a least-cost optimization model with perfect
foresight, any change to inputs will create a new optimizable problem for the
PAC-E-24-04/Rocky Mountain Power

(b) Please refer to Confidential Attachment IPUC 151.
(c) This is not applicable for this project because the project is completed
pursuant to the terms of a long-term contract. Please refer to the discussion in
Confidential Attachment IPUC 151.
(d) Please refer to the Company's responses to subparts i. through iv. below:
i. This project is to perform the Unit 21 Major CT overhaul pursuant to the
Managed Long-Term Gas Turbine Parts and Service Contract(LTP)
between PacifiCorp and Siemens Energy, Inc. In accordance with the
LTP, major rotor-in overhaul is to be conducted when the combustion
turbine reaches 33,200 hours or 1,200 starts relative to the last combustion
inspection outage which was performed in 2018.
Combustion internal extension program parts are to be supplied and
delivered by Siemens for installation during this Rotor in Major scheduled
outage on Combustion Turbine 21 per the Managed Long Term Gas
Turbine Parts and Services Contract Change effective September 24,
2020. This project, according to the LTP, requires Siemens to prove the
equipment that will operate another 33,200 hours after completion of
Rotor in Major Outage.
ii. The initial project budget was $17,287,805, however additional hours
were run on the turbine. Because the fees are calculated by the number of
hours run, this resulted in an increased project amount of$18,359,458
Direct(excluding allowance for funds used during construction
PAC-E-24-04/Rocky Mountain Power
August 19, 2024
IPUC Data Request 151
(AFUDC)). Overhauls are intended to occur at specific hours intervals
based on total run hours incurred on the combustion turbines. These hours
are prepaid in the form of Equivalent Base Hours (EBH) fees and paid
quarterly per total hours run and booked to a prepaid account. The prepaid
account is cleared and booked to capital at every Major inspection. In the
case of Lake Side's CT21 turbine, the outage was intended to occur
33,200 hours or 1,350 starts after the 2018 Hot Gas Path. In Early 2023
Siemens granted an engineering departure allowing for additional run
hours above the contractual 33,200. The additional hours are predicted to
be 5,155 hours above the 33K. on CT21. These additional hours result in a
total increase over budget of$1,071,653. The benefits associated with the
expenditure including continued operation are also included in the 2023
budget plan.
iii. The initial proposed schedule for the project was approximately 37 days
from going offline to coming back online: October 1, 2023 to November
7, 2023.
iv. Evidence that the Initial Project Plan and budget were approved at the
appropriate level.

Response to 1PUC Data Request 153
(a) The Foote Creek II-IV wind project was reviewed as part of the Company's
2021 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP)and the project was made available as a
potential resource that could meet customer energy and capacity needs in the
model used to develop the 2021 IRP. The Company's 2021 IRP showed a
need for additional resources to meet energy and capacity needs. Because the
resource was found to be beneficial to customers it was included as part of a
least-cost, least-risk portfolio, and was identified as a resource in the preferred
portfolio. Action Item 2b of the 2021 IRP included acquisition and repowering
of the Rock River I project consistent with the current timeframe of the
project.
(b) The alternative of not pursuing the acquisition and repowering of the Foote
Creek II-IV wind project was considered, but this would not allow the benefits
of the project to flow to customers, resulting in increased customer costs. As
mentioned in the Company's response to subpart (a) above, the project was
reviewed in the 2021 IRP and compared against other resource alternatives
and selected as a component of the least-cost, least-risk portfolio. Please refer
to Table 7.1 of the 2021 IRP for a list of alternative resources available for
selection by the IRP planning model.
(c) A request for proposals (RFP)was submitted for both the turbine supply and
