APPROVAL OR REJECTION OF AN )
ENERGY SALES AGREEMENT WITH THE ) APPLICATION
CITY OF HAILEY, FOR THE SALE AND )
PURCHASE OF ELECTRIC ENERGY )
FROM THE HAILEY CSPP PROJECT. )
Idaho Power Company ("Idaho Power" or "Company"), in accordance with Idaho
Public Utilities Commissions ("Commission") Rule of Procedure' 52 and the applicable
provisions of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 ("PURPA"), hereby
respectfully applies to the Idaho Public Utilities Commission ("Commission") for an order
accepting or rejecting the Energy Sales Agreement ("ESA" or "Agreement") between
Idaho Power and the City of Hailey ("Seller") (jointly, "Parties") under which Seller would
sell and Idaho Power would purchase electric energy generated by the Hailey
Hereinafter cited as RP.
APPLICATION - 1

cogeneration or small power production ("CSPP") project ("Project" or "Facility") located
near the city of Hailey, Idaho, which is a PURPA Qualifying Facility ("QF").
In support of this Application, Idaho Power represents as follows:
L BACKGROUND
1. The Hailey CSPP is a 37.3 kilowatt ("W') nameplate capacity cogeneration
facility currently delivering energy to Idaho Power under an Energy Sales Agreement
entered into on March 16, 2020 ("2020 Agreement"). The 2020 Agreement, which was
approved by the Commission in Order No. 34690, expires on June 24, 2025.
2. The ESA submitted herewith dated January 29, 2025, is a new contract with
the same QF for a new term with updated terms and conditions. The Parties intend the
proposed ESA to replace the 2020 Agreement in light of its upcoming expiration. Under
the proposed ESA, the Seller would sell and the Company would purchase electric energy
generated by the Facility at non-levelized rates calculated for a QF in the "Non-Seasonal
Hydro" category pursuant to the surrogate avoided resource ("SAR") avoided cost
methodology as set in Case No. GNR-E-24-01, Order No. 36416, for a 5-year term, with
full capacity payments for the entire term. See, e.g., Order No. 32697 at 21-22; Order No.
32737 at 5; and Order No. 32871.
3. As more fully set forth herein, the proposed ESA complies with the
Commission's orders directing the implementation of PURPA for the State of Idaho,
including but not limited to Commission Order Nos. 32697, 32737, and 32802 from Case
No. GNR-E-11-03.
II. RELEVANT LAW
4. Pursuant to PURPA and regulations of the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission ("FERC") implementing it, electric utilities are required to purchase power
APPLICATION - 2

produced by designated Qualifying Facilities. Under this must purchase provision, the
rate a utility must buy the power produced by the QF is generally referred to as the
avoided cost rate, which is intended to reflect the incremental cost to the purchasing utility
of power, which it would either generate itself or purchase from another source but for the
purchase of power from the QF. See 18 CFR §292.101(b)(6).
5. While FERC is tasked with developing broad federal regulations to guide
PURPA's implementation, individual state commissions are tasked with implementing
PURPA at the state level. "PURPA requires that utilities buy the power output from QF's
under a federal rate mechanism (i.e., avoided costs) that is determined and implemented
by state utility commissions." Order No. 32697 at 7.
6. Pursuant to its authority under PURPA, this Commission has established
and adopted numerous contract terms and conditions for energy sales agreements
entered into between regulated utilities and QFs under PURPA and developed
parameters for published and negotiated avoided cost rate calculations.
7. The Commission's seminal decisions on PURPA implementation, starting
with Order No. 32697, established, in pertinent part, a 10 average megawatts ("aMW")
project eligibility cap for access to published avoided cost rates for resources other than
wind and solar and confirmed use of the surrogate avoided resource ("SAR")
methodology to calculate published rates (updated annually).
8. The Commission also held that both energy and capacity should be
considered in determining avoided costs, though payments for capacity should only begin
at such time that the utility becomes capacity deficient. See Order No. 32697. If an
existing QF seeks a new contract with the utility to replace an expiring contract, the
capacity deficit date is still determined as of the date the original contract was executed,
APPLICATION - 3

and the QF will be entitled to immediate payment for capacity under the replacement
contract if it was being paid for capacity at the end of the prior agreement. See also Order
No. 32871.
9. Relative to QF replacement contracts, the Commission subsequently
recognized that conditions existing at the time a legally enforceable obligation was
established in the prior contract could prevent a QF from ever receiving capacity
payments, which would be inconsistent with the Commission's prior orders addressing
QF eligibility for capacity payments. See, e.g., Order No. 34200 at 4-5. As a result, the
Commission has focused on whether the utility has been relying on the QF's power
production to meet its capacity needs in determining whether a QF qualifies for immediate
capacity payments in a replacement contract.
III. THE PROPOSED ENERGY SALES AGREEMENT
10. The Project is currently delivering energy to Idaho Power in accordance with
the 2020 Agreement, that expires on June 24, 2025. Idaho Power and the Seller entered
into a replacement ESA on January 29, 2025, in compliance with Commission Order No.
32697 and its progeny, which is intended to replace the 2020 Agreement and pursuant to
which the Seller would continue to sell, and the Company would continue to purchase
electric energy generated by the Project. A copy of the ESA is attached to this Application
as Attachment 1.
11. Under the terms of the proposed ESA, the Seller elected to contract with
Idaho Power for a 5-year term using the non-levelized, published avoided cost rates for
"Non-Seasonal Hydro" resources as currently established by the Commission in Order
No. 36416 dated December 9, 2024, for replacement contracts and for energy deliveries
of less than 10 aMW. Additionally, because the Facility has been receiving capacity
APPLICATION - 4

payments under the current ESA, the proposed replacement ESA contains capacity
payments for the entire term of the Agreement consistent with prior Commission Orders.
See, e.g., Order No. 32697 at 21-22; Order No. 32737 at 5; Order No. 32871; and Order
No. 34200 at 4-5.
12. The proposed ESA contains contract provisions consistent with PURPA,
FERC regulations, and the Commission's prior orders. With regard to the latter, the
following discussion demonstrates the proposed ESA's compliance with certain Idaho-
specific provisions that have been the focus of Commission Staff in reviewing similar
approval requests: (1) 90/110 rule with a five-day advance notice for adjusting Estimated
Net Energy Amounts; (2) eligibility for capacity payments; (3) adherence to the capacity
size threshold for published rates and verification of avoided cost rates; and (4)
conformance of Article XXIII, Modification, with recent Commission orders.
901110 Rule and 5-Day Ahead Provision
13. In Idaho, the Commission has determined that the contractual obligation of
a QF under PURPA translates into a commitment to deliver its monthly estimated
production. Order 29632 at 20. To maintain eligibility for the firm avoided cost rates, as
opposed to Schedule 86 non-firm avoided cost rates, Qualifying Facilities are to provide
a monthly estimate of the amount of energy they expect to produce, and the delivery of
committed energy must fall within a 90/110 band for the QF to be entitled to the firm
published avoided cost rate.
14. Consistent with these provisions, the proposed ESA requires that the Seller
provide estimates of net energy and adopted a five-day advanced notice for adjusting
Estimated Net Energy Amounts for purposes of complying with 90/110 firmness
requirements as set forth in paragraphs 6.2 and 7.1. The notification of Net Energy
APPLICATION - 5

Amount monthly adjustments described in paragraph 6.2.3 must be provided no later than
5 p.m. Mountain Standard Time on the 25tn day of the month that is prior to the month to
be revised. If the 25tn day of the month falls on a weekend or holiday, then written notice
must be received on the last business day prior to the 25tn
15. The Commission has previously approved the same five-day advanced
notice revisions to monthly generation estimates in numerous instances including in
relation to the 2020 Agreement, recognizing that Estimated Net Energy Amounts that are
closer to the time of delivery can improve the accuracy of input used by the Company for
short-term operational planning. See also, e.g., Case Nos. IPC-E-19-01, IPC-E-19-03,
IPC-E-19-04, IPC-E-19-07, IPC-E-19-12, IPC-E-21-05, IPC-E-21-23, IPC-E-21-27, IPC-
E-21-28, IPC-E-21-29, IPC-E-21-31, IPC-E-22-03, and IPC-E-22-04. Moreover, the
Facility has a long generation history under prior ESAs, which further reduces the need
for a revision to delivery estimates beyond a five-day advanced notice.
Eligibility for Capacity Payments
16. In Case No. GNR-E-11-03, the Commission held if a QF project is being
paid for capacity at the end of a contract term and enters into a replacement contract, it
will be entitled to immediate payment of capacity. See Order No. 32697 at 21-22; Order
No. 32737 at 5; and Order No. 32871. Subsequently, the Commission recognized that
there may be circumstances under which a QF should still qualify for immediate capacity
payments with a replacement ESA despite not receiving a separate capacity payment
under the existing/expiring contract. Under broad PUPRA and Commission guidelines,
the primary question for determining capacity payment eligibility is whether or not the
operation of the QF permits the Company to avoid or deter adding future additional
capacity. See, e.g., Order No. 34200 at 4-5 and Order No. 34295 at 4-5.
APPLICATION - 6

17. As noted by Staff in reviewing the 2020 Agreement in Case No. IPC-E-20-
16, the Facility has been paid for capacity under its previous ESAs. Because the utility
has been relying on the QFs power production for IRP planning purposes and no
significant changes are contemplated in the replacement contract, the replacement ESA
contains payment for capacity for the entire term of the replacement contract in line with
prior Commission orders.
Capacity Size Threshold/Verification of Avoided Cost Rates
18. The Seller warrants that the Facility is a PURPA Qualifying Facility and has
provided documentation that the project nameplate capacity is 37.3 kW.
19. Paragraphs 1 .24 and 4.1 .4 of the ESA describe how Idaho Power's process
for confirming that under normal and/or average conditions, the Facility will not exceed
10 aMW on a monthly basis. Furthermore, as described in paragraph 7.7 of the ESA,
should the Facility exceed 10 aMW on a monthly basis or 10,000 kilowatts on an hourly
basis, Idaho Power will accept the energy, defined as Inadvertent Energy, but will not
purchase or pay for it.
20. Because the Facility produces less than 10 aMW on a monthly basis under
normal or average conditions, it is eligible for published avoided cost rates for "Non-
Seasonal Hydro" resources as currently established by the Commission in Order No.
36416 dated December 9, 2024.
Article XXIII (Modifications)
21. In reviewing other PURPA energy sales agreements recently, the
Commission has identified a heretofore standard ESA provision, Article XXIII
Modification, that it determined required revisions to address scenarios involving Facility
modifications to ensure, inter alia: the modified Facility operates under a correct and
APPLICATION - 7

accurate contract that describes the characteristics and parameters of the modified
Facility and the rate paid to the Facility and recovered from ratepayers, starting from the
first operation date after the Facility is modified, reflect the proper and authorized rate of
the modified Facility. See, e.g., Order Nos. 35705 and 35767.
22. The proposed ESA between Idaho Power and Seller incorporates the
provisions and language recently approved by the Commission and in conformity with
Order No. 35705.
Other Pertinent Provisions
23. The Project is already interconnected and selling energy to Idaho Power
and the ESA specifies a Scheduled First Energy Date and Scheduled Operation Date for
this Project of June 25, 2025. See Appendix B. Articles IV and V of this ESA recognize
that information provided under the previous agreement may still be applicable to this
replacement ESA. As specified in the ESA, Idaho Power shall review the previously
provided information and will accept the information as previously submitted, request
updates to that information, and/or require new information to satisfy compliance with the
various requirements for the Seller to be granted a First Energy Date and Operation Date
for this replacement ESA. In addition, Idaho Power will monitor the ongoing requirements
through the full term of this ESA.
24. The ESA provides that all applicable interconnection charges and monthly
operational or maintenance charges under Schedule 72 will be assessed to Seller. Seller
currently has a valid and active Schedule 72 Generator Interconnection Agreement, or
"GIA," with Idaho Power. PURPA QF generation must be a designated network resource
("DNR") to serve Idaho Power's retail load on its system. In order for the Facility to
maintain its DNR status, there must be a power purchase agreement associated with its
APPLICATION - 8

transmission service request in order to maintain compliance with Idaho Power's non-
discriminatory administration of its Open Access Transmission Tariff ("OATT") and
maintain compliance with FERC requirements.
25. Article XXI of the ESA provides that it will only become finally effective upon
the Commission's approval of all of the ESA's terms and conditions and finding that all
payments Idaho Power makes to the Seller for purchases of energy will be allowed as
prudently incurred expenses for ratemaking purposes.
IV. PROCEDURE
26. Idaho Power believes that a technical hearing is not necessary to consider
the issues presented herein and respectfully requests that this Application be processed
under Modified Procedure, i.e., by written submissions rather than by hearing. RP 201,
et seq. If, however, the Commission determines that a technical hearing is required, the
Company stands ready to prepare and present its testimony in such hearing.
27. Because the existing contract will run its full term and expire on June 24,
2025, the Parties request that the Commission set a procedural schedule that would result
in a final Commission determination prior to the expiration of the existing contract.
V. COMMUNICATIONS AND SERVICE OF PLEADINGS

APPENDIX B
FACILITY AND POINT OF DELIVERY
{
Project Name: Hailey CSPP
Project Number: 20250625
B-1 DESCRIPTION OF FACILITY
The City of Hailey refers to this project as the Indian Creek Hydro Project because the water is
sourced from Indian Creek. However,the original 1985 energy sales agreement referred to this
project as Hailey CSPP. Since this is a replacement energy sales agreement,Idaho Power must
retain the original project name of Hailey CSPP when referring to the replacement contract.
The Project's power is generated by a Cornell Pump Model 3TR2-CC turbine installed in 2016.
The water source is a spring collection basin which is approximately 2.5 miles up canyon. Water
is collected in the basin and then piped through the turbine into the water storage reservoir. The
turbine is located at the operations building adjacent to the concrete reservoir.
Facility Nameplate Capacity: 37.3 kW
Qualifying Facility Category(Small Power Production or Cogeneration): Small Power Production
Primary Energy Source(Hydra,Witid, Solar, Biomass,Waste,.Geothermal):Hydro
Fueled or Non-Fueled Rate(Generator primarily fueled with fossil or non-fossil fuel):Non-
Fueled
I
Any modifications to the Facility,including but not limited to the generator or turbine,that(1)
increases or decreases the Facility Nameplate Capacity, or(2)changes the Qualifying Facility
Category,or(3)changes the Primary Energy Source or(4)changes to the generator fuel and
subsequently the Fueled Rate or Non-Fueled Rate,will require a review of the Agreement terms,
conditions and pricing. Idaho Power,at its sole determination,may adjust the pricing or
i
40

Docusign Envelope ID:8030DF49-BFOC-4965-8BB9-629BD7BF25C6
terminate the Agreement. If the Agreement is terminated because of said modifications,the
Seller will be responsible for any Termination Damages.

Description of Interconnection Location: End of Treaty Lane,Hailey ID 83333
B-3 SCHEDULED FIRST ENERGY DATE AND OPERATION DATE
This Facility is interconnected and already delivering energy to Idaho Power pursuant to a Firm
Energy Sales Agreement that expires on June 24,2025. The First Energy Date and the Operation
Date for this Agreement will be at hour beginning 00:01 on June 25, 2025,provided that the
Commission approves the replacement Agreement and the Seller completes all of the Article IV
and Article V requirements prior to June 25,2025.
B-4 MAXIMUM CAPACITY AMOUNT:
The Maximum Capacity Amount is 373 kW which is consistent with the value provided by the
Seller to Idaho Power in accordance with the GIA. This value is the maximum generation(kW)
that potentially could be delivered by the Seller's Facility to the Idaho Power electrical system at
any moment in time.
B-5 POINT OF DELIVERY
"Point of Delivery"means,unless otherwise agreed by both Parties,the point of where the
Seller's Facility energy is delivered.to the Idaho Power electrical system. The GIA will
determine the specific Point of Delivery for this Facility. The Point of Delivery identified by the
41

Docusign Envelope ID:803ODF49-BFOC-4965-8BB9-629BD7BF25C6
GIA will become an integral part of this Agreement.
B-G LOSSES
If the Idaho Power metering equipment is capable of measuring the energy deliveries by the
Seller to the Idaho Power electrical system at the Point of Delivery,no Losses will be calculated
for this Facility. If the Idaho Power metering equipment is unable to measure the energy
deliveries directly at the Point of Delivery,the Losses will be calculated. This loss calculation is
currently set at 191%of the kWh electricity production recorded on the Facility generation
metering equipment. If at any time during the term of this Agreement,Idaho Power determines
that the loss calculation needs to be revised due to a change in the electrical equipment or some
other factor,then Idaho Power may adjust the calculation and retroactively adjust the previous
month's kWh loss calculations.
B-7 DESIGNATED NETWORK RESOURCE(DNR)
This Facility is an Idaho Power DNR pursuant to an existing energy sales agreement. The DNR
status will continue if this Agreement is 1)executed and approved by the Commission,and 2) a
GIA has been executed by both parties and 3)the Seller is in compliance with all requirements of
that GIA. Idaho Power cannot accept or pay for generation from this Facility if the Facility has
not achieved the status of being an Idaho Power DNR Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
("FERC")rules require Idaho Power to prepare and submit the application to achieve DNR status
for this Facility. Because much of the information Idaho Power needs to prepare the DNR
application is specific to the Seller's Facility,Idaho Power's ability to file the DNR application in
a timely manner is contingent upon timely receipt of the required information from the Seller.
Prior to Idaho Power beginning the process to enable Idaho Power to submit a request for DNR
status for this Facility,the Seller shall have 1)filed a Generation Interconnection application,2)
f submitted all information required by Idaho Power to complete the application,and 3)either
executed this Agreement or, at a minimum,provided Idaho Power with confirmation of the
Seller's intent to complete this Agreement in a timely manner. Seller's failure to provide
42

I
Docusign Envelope ID:8030DF49-BFOC-4965-8BB9-629BD7BF25C6
complete and accurate information in a timely manner can significantly impact Idaho
Power's ability and cost to attain the DNR designation for the Seller's Facility and the
Seller shall bear the costs of any of these delays that are a result of any action or inaction by
the Seller.
