IPC-E-25-06 MODIFY SCHEDULE 72, GENERATOR ) INTERCONNECTIONS TO PURPA ) APPLICATION QUALIFYING FACILITY SELLERS, IN ) CONFORMANCE WITH FERC ORDERS ) 2023/2023-A. ) 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 modifying Schedule 72, Generator Interconnections to PURPA Qualifying Facility ("QF") Sellers, to conform with the interconnection process reforms implemented by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") in Order No. 2023/2023-A2 to large generator Hereinafter cited as RP. 2 Improvements to Generator Interconnection Procs. &Agreements, Order No. 2023, 184 FERC 161,054, APPLICATION - 1 interconnections, over 20 MW. Idaho Power proposes no changes to small generator QF interconnections, 20 MW and below, under Schedule 72. In support of this Application, Idaho Power represents as follows: I. BACKGROUND 1. The Commission first adopted Schedule 72, governing the interconnection of PURPA QF generators to Idaho Power's system in Idaho Power's Idaho service territory in 1991. The currently effective Schedule 72 was designed to mirror the approved interconnection and study process for FERC jurisdictional interconnections set forth in Idaho Power's Open Access Transmission Tariff ("OATT"). In addition to mirroring the OATT study process, Schedule 72 also specifically adopts the provisions of the OATT interconnection processes that are not specifically addressed in Schedule 72. "Unless modified by the provisions of this schedule [Schedule 72], the FERC-approved Large Generator Interconnection Procedures, and Small Generator Interconnection Procedures posted on the Company's website will apply to the Generator Interconnection Process." 2. Schedule 72 sets forth the same three-step interconnection study process that was established for both large and small interconnections in the OATT. That process starts with a Feasibility Study and progresses through a System Impact Study, Facility Study, and concludes with the execution of a Generator Interconnection Agreement ("GIA"). This process is run on a first-come, first-served basis and executed by maintaining projects in a serial queue. 3. On July 28, 2023, FERC issued Order No. 2023, which updates the procedures for interconnecting FERC-jurisdictional large generating facilities (20 MW and order on reh'g, 185 FERC¶61,063(2023) (Order No. 2023); orderreh'g&clarification, Order No. 2023-A, 186 FERC 161,199 (2024) (Order No. 2023-A). APPLICATION - 2 above). The adopted reforms are intended to address interconnection queue backlogs and improve certainty in the interconnection process. Order No. 2023 adopts a series of mandatory reforms in an attempt to bring uniformity to interconnections across the country. The most significant change is the move away from FERC's historic first-come, first-served serial approach to interconnections in favor of a first-ready, first-served cluster study approach that requires generators to demonstrate commercial readiness to proceed through the queue. The first-ready, first-served cluster queue process modifies the former serial queue, three-step study process to operate on an annual study process basis with a Request Window, Cluster Study, Restudy, Facility Study, and concluding with the execution of a GIA. FERC's reformed process also includes provisions for demonstration of site control, commercial readiness, and withdrawal penalties to discourage speculative interconnection requests, and address study delays from overcrowded interconnection queues and the harms to the function of the interconnection queue that occur when interconnection customers withdraw from the interconnection queue at various stages of the study process. 4. Idaho Power filed its Compliance Filing for Order No. 2023 at FERC on October 2, 2023 ("Order No. 2023 Compliance Filing"). On March 21, 2024, FERC approved, in part, subject to a further compliance filing, Idaho Power's Order No. 2023 Compliance Filing ("March 21 Order"). On March 21, 2024, FERC also issued Order No. 2023-A, which largely affirmed Order No. 2023, while providing additional clarification and revising some limited elements of the reform framework adopted in Order No. 2023. Idaho Power submitted a second compliance filing to FERC on May 14, 2024 ("May 14 Compliance Filing"), to implement the requirements in FERC's March 21 Order and Order APPLICATION - 3 No. 2023-A. The Company's May 14 Compliance Filing was approved, in part, subject to a further compliance filing, on September 19, 2024, which includes only non-substantive revisions. 5. Idaho Power's Order No. 2023 Compliance Filing included a Transitional Cluster Study process for FERC-jurisdictional interconnections. FERC accepted Idaho Power's Order No. 2023 Compliance Filing in part, on March 21, 2024, without modifying the proposed transition process. In accordance with that process, eligible FERC- jurisdictional interconnection requests were required to execute Transitional Cluster Study Agreements no later than March 1, 2024. Idaho Power is currently engaged in the Transitional Cluster Study process and that process is expected to be complete on or around March 1, 2025. Therefore, Idaho Power's proposal to commence its initial Cluster Study Window on March 1, 2025, should result in no delay to the start of the first cluster study following the transition process. 6. Idaho Power has not proposed a transition process for Idaho-jurisdictional QF interconnections because there were no such pending interconnection requests at the time of the transition. Indeed, as of this filing, Idaho Power has no pending Idaho large QF interconnection requests, and has not had any in the last five-years. Any Idaho large QF interconnection requests received subsequent to this filing can be included in the initial Cluster Study as long as they are submitted within the Cluster Study Window from March 1, 2025, through April 15, 2025. 7. Idaho Power proposes no changes to the interconnection framework applicable to Idaho-jurisdictional QF small generators. Those generators will continue to be processed in accordance with the existing Schedule 72 provisions. Idaho Power is APPLICATION - 4 able to separately administer a serial interconnection queue for small generators because Idaho Power's system is configured such that small generator interconnections do not typically impact the transmission system, as they typically interconnect at distribution voltages and impact distribution facilities. II. PROPOSED SCHEDULE 72 REVISIONS 8. Idaho Power proposes revision to its currently approved Schedule 72 that is necessary to maintain alignment between FERC's revisions to the Company's OATT and large QF interconnections under Schedule 72. The proposed revisions implement FERC's first-ready, first-served cluster study process for Idaho-jurisdictional QF interconnection requests. Adopting FERC's reforms here will ensure continued consistency between Idaho Power's state and federal interconnection procedures. Attachments A (Schedule 72, Clean) and B (Schedule 72, Red-line) to this filing show the Company's proposed revisions to the Schedule 72. 9. As shown in Attachments A and B, there are actually minimal changes required in Schedule 72. Idaho Power proposes, generally, to modify Schedule 72's 30 MW distinction between large and small interconnections to align with the OATT differentiation of small generator interconnections being 20 MW and under, and large generator interconnections being over 20 MW. The main revision to Schedule 72 is inserted in Section 2, Interconnection of Generation Facilities, Generator Interconnection Process, paragraph 2 ("Paragraph 2"). The existing language in Paragraph 2 currently adopts the provisions of Idaho Power's OATT for any items that are not modified by Schedule 72. Idaho Power's changes in Paragraph 2 operate to maintain Schedule 72's provisions for small generator interconnections up to 20 MW. For large generator APPLICATION - 5 interconnections over 20 MW, these revisions specifically refer to, and adopt, the new provisions of the first-ready, first-served cluster process adopted by FERC: (proposed new language is underlined) 2. Unless modified by the provisions of this schedule, the FERC-approved Large Generator Interconnection Procedures, Attachment M and Small Generator Interconnection Procedures, Attachment N posted on the Company's OASIS or public website will apply to the Generator Interconnection Process. a. Generation Facilities up to 20 MW. The Application, Deposits, Study Agreements/Process, and Generator Interconnection Agreement for Generation Facilities up to 20 MW will be as set forth herein, including the use of the Idaho Power Company Uniform Interconnection Agreement (PURPA) included with this Schedule. b. Generation Facilities over 20 MW. The Application, Deposits, Study Agreements/Process, and Generator Interconnection Agreement for Generation Facilities over 20 MW will follow the Large Generator Interconnection Procedures (LGIP) set forth in Attachment M of the Company's GATT, with the removal of LGIP section 4.21(c), including the use of the Standard Large Generator Interconnection Agreement (LGIA) set forth in Appendix 5 to Attachment M of Idaho Power's GATT, with the removal of LGIA section 11.4, Transmission Credits. To ensure that Idaho Power's customers remain indifferent to the addition of the Qualifying Facility's Generation Facility, as required by PURPA, and as referenced herein, section 4.21(c) of the LGIP and section 11.4 of the LGIA relating to reimbursement by transmission credits of the costs of Network Upgrades shall be removed for Qualifying Facilities interconnecting pursuant to this Schedule. III. DISCUSSION A. Idaho Power's proposed Schedule 72 changes will create a more effective interconnection framework. 10. FERC's interconnection reforms proposed in this filing reflect the outcome of FERC's comprehensive rulemaking effort that culminated in Order Nos. 2023 and APPLICATION - 6 2023-A. When adopting its reforms, FERC found that without reform, "the current interconnection process will continue to cause interconnection queue backlogs, longer development timelines, and increased uncertainty regarding the cost and timing of interconnecting to the transmission system," which will "hinder the timely development of new generation and thereby stifle competition in the wholesale electric markets[.]" Order 2023 at ¶ 37. FERC found that speculative interconnection requests are largely responsible for the current interconnection queue backlogs and delays, which "have created uncertainty for interconnection customers regarding the timing and cost of ultimately interconnecting to the transmission system." Order 2023 at ¶43. 11. Relative to the specific reforms adopted by FERC, it found that the "lack of (1) access of information about a specific location or point of interconnection prior to submitting an interconnection request and (2) meaningful financial commitments in the pro forma interconnection procedures and agreements for interconnection customers to enter and stay in the interconnection queue, as well as the existing serial first-come, first- served study process, all incentivize interconnection customers to submit speculative interconnection requests that contribute to interconnection study backlogs, delays, and uncertainty, and, in turn, unjust and unreasonable [FERC]-jurisdictional rates." Order 2023 at ¶ 48. 12. Based on these findings, FERC adopted comprehensive reforms to its pro forma OATT that transition from the serial queue to the first-ready, first-served cluster study framework, imposed requirements like commercial readiness and more stringent site control to better ensure that interconnection customers make a meaningful financial commitment to interconnect, and adopted a requirement that transmission providers APPLICATION - 7 develop a publicly available heatmap of available transmission capacity intended to aid interconnection customers when siting potential generation projects. B. A fair and efficient interconnection process requires state and federal alignment. 13. FERC's reforms are mandatory and Idaho Power expects final approval of its revised OATT incorporating the transition to first ready, first served cluster study process soon. The Commission's long-standing policy is to align the state and federal interconnection procedures to the extent possible. Indeed, the small and large QF generator interconnection procedures in Schedule 72 are currently modeled on those used in Idaho Power's FERC-approved GATT. Approving Idaho Power's proposed changes to Schedule 72 incorporating the change to a cluster study framework here will ensure continued alignment of Idaho Power's state and federal interconnection processes. 14. Uniform interconnection study process for all customers reduces confusion, reduces overall study timelines, and is more efficient to administer. Moreover, consistent processes ensure non-discriminatory access to the transmission system for all interconnection customers, both state and federal. A functioning and efficient interconnection study process, including the reforms in Order No. 2023, benefits both Idaho QF interconnection customers and retail customers, who rely on new resources interconnecting to Idaho Power's system. C. Maintaining a separate Idaho-only large QF serial queue is unworkable. 15. At FERC, several QF stakeholders recommended that FERC "allow transmission providers to either continue to use a serial study process or to create a parallel serial study process[.]" Order 2023 at ¶ 178. FERC soundly rejected this APPLICATION - 8 recommendation because "establishing in the pro forma LGIP a separate interconnection process outside the cluster study process could detract from transmission providers' efforts to efficiently process cluster studies, and would be insufficient to ensure that interconnection customers are able to interconnect to the transmission system in a reliable, efficient, transparent, and timely manner." Id. Idaho Power agrees that continuing to use a serial queue study process for Idaho large QFs would undermine the reforms ordered by FERC and ultimately prove unworkable, to the detriment of Idaho generators. IV. PROCEDURE 16. 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. 17. Idaho Power has left the effective date open in the proposed revised Schedule 72. Idaho Power respectfully requests an effective date of March 1 , 2025, for its revised Schedule 72. This date coincides with the March 1, 2025, opening of Idaho Power's initial cluster study request window. Alternatively, should the Commission determine to not back-date the effective date to March 1 , 2025, Idaho Power requests the effective date be listed on the revised Schedule 72 coincident with the Commission's final Order in this matter. As stated above, Idaho Power currently has zero large QF interconnection requests, and has had zero large QF interconnection requests in the last five years, and thus has no current QF interconnection requests presently effected by these proposed changes.

PAYMENT FOR INTERCONNECTION FACILITIES Unless specifically agreed otherwise by written agreement between the Seller and the Company, the Seller will pay all costs of interconnecting a Generation Facility to the Company's system. Costs of interconnection include the costs of furnishing and constructing required Interconnection Facilities, including Upgrades. Each request for interconnection will go through the Generator Interconnection Process. Throughout the Generator Interconnection Process, the Company will periodically bill the Seller for costs incurred or obligated. Failure to pay an invoice within the time specified in the invoice will result in suspension of work on the interconnection and if the suspension of work extends beyond thirty (30) calendar days, the Generation Facility will be removed from the interconnection queue. Seller can end the Generator Interconnection Process at any time. If Seller decides to end the Generator Interconnection Process prior to completion, the Company will either refund any monies held for security that have not been spent or obligated, or issue an invoice to Seller for costs incurred prior to cancellation. SECURITY FOR PAYMENT OF INTERCONNECTION COSTS Sellers will provide adequate security for payment of the costs of the Generator Interconnection Process. Adequate security for Generation Facilities larger than 30 MW can be provided in accordance with the Large Generator Interconnection Procedures contained in Attachment M to the Company's OATT. Adequate security for Generation Facilities up to 30 MW can be provided in one of the following ways 1. Sellers that meet the Company's credit worthiness standards for unsecured credit are not required to provide additional security. The Company's minimum credit standards for unsecured credit are described in Attachment L to the OATT. 2. Sellers that do not meet the credit worthiness standards for unsecured credit will be notified of the reason for the determination and shall be given the option to provide alternative security acceptable to Idaho Power. In lieu of providing a cash deposit, Seller may establish an escrow account, provide a letter of credit or provide guarantee of payment by another person or entity which meets the credit worthiness standards for unsecured credit. Arrangements for alternative security must be acceptable to Idaho Power. IDAHO Issued by IDAHO POWER COMPANY Issued per Order No. Timothy E.
