IPC-E-25-07 RESOURCE STUDY AND PROPOSED ) UPDATE TO SCHEDULE 87 ) COMMENTS OF THE COMMISSION STAFF COMMISSION STAFF ("STAFF") OF the Idaho Public Utilities Commission ("Commission"), by and through its Attorney of record, Erika K. Melanson, Deputy Attorney General, submits the following comments. BACKGROUND On February 27, 2024, Idaho Power Company("Company")petitioned the Commission to modify a compliance requirement in Commission Order No. 36048. Case No. IPC-E-24-08. The Company requested that the Commission modify the Company's compliance requirement issued in Case No. IPC-E-23-14 to: (1) authorize the Company to update Schedule 87, Intermittent Generation Integration Charges ("Schedule 87") integration costs based on the forthcoming 2024 Variable Energy Resource ("VER") Study, instead of the 2020 VER Study; STAFF COMMENTS 1 MAY 14, 2025 and(2) authorize the Company to file both the forthcoming 2024 VER Study and updated Schedule 87 no later than December 31, 2024. Id. On June 10, 2024, the Commission issued Order No. 36219, granting the Company's request to modify the compliance requirement in Order No. 36048, and directing the Company to file both the 2024 VER Study and updated Schedule 87 proposed rates no later than December 31, 2024. Order No. 36219 at 2. On December 31, 2024, the Company submitted a compliance filing with its 2024 VER Study and Updated Schedule 87 proposed rates. Case No. IPC-24-08. On February 18, 2025, the Commission issued Order No. 36466 in Case No. IPC-E-24- 08 ordering a new docket be opened to consider the Company's proposed update to Schedule 87 rates. As a result, this case (Case No. IPC-E-25-07) was opened. STAFF ANALYSIS Staffs review focused on the overall methodology, capital, and fixed operation and maintenance ("O&M") cost of incremental resources, the portfolio choice, the lack of an inter- hour analysis, the regulation reserve requirements, the analysis of on-site generation, the penetration levels, the portfolio results, the integration charges, the filing time, and the effective date. Staff recommends that the Commission approve the integration charges contained in Attachment No. 1 for Schedule 87 with an effective date of June 1, 2025. Staff also recommends that the Company file an updated Schedule 87 in a compliance filing to reflect the updated integration charges in Attachment No. 1, if approved. Before the next VER study, Staff recommends that the Commission order the Company to work with Staff on the following issues: • How to determine capital and fixed O&M cost of incremental resources; • Whether it is reasonable to include an analysis of inter-hour integration costs in the next study and whether inter-hour integration costs should be incorporated into the integration charges; • Whether Regulation Reserve Requirements should be updated; • How to reconcile differences in wind and solar integration cost for Export Credit Rates (`ECR"); • How to address the under-allocation issue for the ECR; and STAFF COMMENTS 2 MAY 14, 2025 • Whether on-site generation can be incorporated in the analysis through developing a proxy to overcome the issue of data granularity. For future VER studies, Staff recommends that the Commission order the Company to file a new VER study within six months after the filing of each Integrated Resource Plan ("IRP"),using the information from the IRP as a starting point but updating it with the latest information possible. Staff also recommends that, if the Company believes a new VER study is not necessary, the Commission order the Company to file a waiver for the study with evidence supporting the Company's position within two months after the filing of the IRP. Overall Methodology The 2024 VER Study calculates integration charges by dividing the difference between ancillary service costs of each scenario (i.e. 100 MW Solar, 200 MW Solar, 100 WM Wind, or 200 MW Wind) and ancillary service costs of the base (i.e. updated Preferred Portfolio "November 2026 132H Valmy 1&2")by the incremental energy associated for each scenario as illustrated in Figure No. 1 below. The ancillary service costs of the scenario are determined by the difference between the scenario portfolio cost with and without ancillaries. The ancillary service costs of the base are determined by the difference between the base portfolio cost with and without ancillaries. The overall methodology calculates integration charges caused by adding an incremental 100 MW of solar nameplate capacity, an incremental 200 MW of solar nameplate capacity, an incremental 100 MW of wind nameplate capacity, or an incremental 200 MW wind nameplate capacity to the base in Year 2025. The calculation is conducted over the 20-year IRP planning horizon. Staff believes the overall methodology is reasonable. STAFF COMMENTS 3 MAY 14, 2025 Figure No. 1: Overall Methodology Integration Portfotio Cost PortfoLio Cost '• remental Cost With Without Scenario Energy � - - � Incremental Energy Capital Costs and Fixed O&M of Incremental Resources Although Staff believes the overall methodology is reasonable, Staff recommends that the Company work with Staff on how to determine capital and fixed O&M cost of incremental resources before the next VER study. When existing ancillary services are not sufficient to integrate growing renewables, incremental resources will need to be built to provide additional ancillary services. At that point, capital and fixed O&M cost of incremental resources caused by increasing renewables should be reflected in the integration charges. However, the Company "found little information on how to assess unmet ancillary needs and no information on how to correct an unmet ancillary need should one be found." The 2024 VER Study at 8. Therefore, the Company did not consider capital and fixed O&M cost of incremental resources in this study, even though it explored a possible method to be used in future studies. Due to little information on this topic, Staff believes it is acceptable to not include any capital and fixed O&M cost of incremental resources in this study and in the proposed Schedule 87 rate. However, Staff recommends that the Company work with the Staff on how to determine and incorporate capital and fixed O&M cost of incremental resources before the next VER study. Portfolio Choice The 2024 VER Study used the updated Preferred Portfolio titled"November 2026 B2H Valmy 1 & 2" from the 2023 IRP for the analysis to reflect the timing change of the Boardman to Hemingway Transmission Line (B214"). Since then, the online date of B2H has changed to STAFF COMMENTS 4 MAY 14, 2025 year 2028.1 Because the 2024 VER Study is based on the entire IRP planning horizon, Staff believes the near-term change does not have a significant impact on the study results and on proposed Schedule 87 rates. Inter-hour Analysis Staff recommends the Company work with Staff to determine whether it is reasonable to include an analysis of inter-hour integration costs in the next VER study and determine whether inter-hour integration costs should be incorporated into the integration charges. The 2024 VER is only focused on intra-hour integration costs of regulation reserves for products that occur at 2- minute, 10-minute and 60-minute time frames. Response to Staff Production Request No. 10. However, inter-hour integration costs may be incurred when committed resources based on a forecast of load and renewable generation are not used in real-time, or used but not optimized due to the difference between the forecasts and the actuals of load and renewable generation. Regulation Reserve Requirements The Company used the Regulation Reserve Requirements as shown in Table No. 2 below to determine the amount of reserve capacity that needs to be held to balance variability of wind, solar, and load. These amounts were originally developed in the 2021 IRP. Response to Staff Production Request No. 9 (a). Staff recommends that the Company work with Staff to determine if such requirements should be updated before the next VER study.

Although Staff generally agrees with this treatment, Staff is concerned with several specific issues discussed as follows. a. On-site Wind Generation Among the 14,000 non-legacy on-site generation customers who will be subject to annual ECR updates, there are only two wind on-site generation customers. Responses to Staff Production Request Nos. 3 (b) and 7 (c). Although the Company proposed to apply solar integration charges and wind integration charges separately for QFs, it proposed to use solar integration charges to all on-site generation customers, including the two wind customers. However, the integration cost between wind and solar are significantly different with solar integration costs being 8 to 10 times higher than wind. Staff believes that this is a material difference and should be considered in the ECR. b. Under-allocation of Integration Costs STAFF COMMENTS 6 MAY 14, 2025 The Company believes that between utility-scale solar and on-site solar generation, integration costs are under-allocated to on-site generation customers due to the following reasons. First, for on-site generation customers, integration costs are incurred based on generation profiles,but they are recovered based on export profiles. Response to Staff Production Request No. 7 (b). Second, utility-scale solar typically has axis tracking that reduces solar variability, whereas on-site solar generation does not. Id. Third,utility-scale solar projects typically oversize the panel to inverter ratio, which further reduces solar variability. Id. Exports generally occur more often in high-output, low-load hours, when the need for integrating resources are greater. Id. The Company could not conduct a separate integration study specifically for on-site generation, because the meters installed for retail service have a limitation in the granularity of interval data. Id. Utility-scale solar meters capture data in 1-minute increments, which is a required granularity for this type of integration analysis. Id. But on-site generation meters report data on an hourly basis, which is not granular enough for a separate analysis of exports. Id. Staff understands the limitation of on-site generation data,but Staff recommends that the Company work with Staff to address the under-allocation issue before the next study. Penetration Levels The 2024 VER Study started with the penetration level of wind and solar QFs and Power Purchase Agreement("PPA")projects identified in the 2023 IRP, without considering on-site generation, and then added incremental 100 MWs and 200 MWs of renewables for scenario analyses. For wind, the penetration level identified in the 2023 IRP was about 726 MWs, which included about 625 MWs of QFs and about 101 MWs of PPAs. Response to Staff Production Request No. 4 (d). Because the penetration level has not changed and because there are only two wind on-site generation customers, Staff believes that the wind integration charges calculated based on QFs and PPAs identified in the 2023 IRP are robust. For solar, the penetration level identified in the 2023 IRP was about 651 MWs, which included about 391 MWs of QFs and about 260 MWs of PPAs. Response to Staff Production Request No. 5 (d). However, three projects (i.e. Moore's Hollow Solar, Durkee Solar, and Prairie City Solar) totaling about 74 MWs failed to come online. Response to Staff Production STAFF COMMENTS 7 MAY 14, 2025 Request No. 5 (a). Because on-site solar generation and utility-scale solar generation have similar generation profiles and because there is about 107 MWs of on-site solar generation on the Company's system (Exhibit No. 1 of Mr. Ellsworth's Direct Testimony in Case No. IPC-E-25- 15), Staff believes that this can make up for the three projects that failed to come online and that the modeled results to determine integration charges remain reasonable. However, Staff recommends that the new penetration ranges should be 683.38 MWs to 783.37 MWs for Block 1 and 783.38 MWs to 883.37 MWs for Block 2, where the starting point of 683.38 MWs is calculated as 650.55 MWs (i.e. the penetration level from the 2023 IRP)minus 74.3 MWs (i.e. the total nameplate capacity of Moore's Hollow Solar, Durkee Solar, and Prairie City Solar)plus 107.13 MWs (i.e. the total nameplate capacity of on-site generation). Staff also recommends that the Company work with Staff on whether on-site generation can be incorporated in the analysis through developing a proxy to overcome the issue of data granularity before the next study. Portfolio Results After the Company ran the Aurora model, the Company calculated average integration costs in 2024 dollars based on the portfolio data in Table No. 3. However, there is a mismatch between the cost data and energy data. The cost data is based on a 20-year model run that started in 2024, whereas the incremental energy is based on a 19-year calculation that started in 2025. Response to Staff Production Request No. 17. Table No. 3: Portfolio Cost and Energy Data Portfolio Portfolio Cost Cost Differential Cost with without Relative to Ancillaries Ancillaries Preferred Portfolio NPV($x NPV ($x Difference($x Incremental Integration Portfolio 1,000) 1,000) 1,000) Energy(MWh) Cost$/MWh Preferred Portfolio $9,678,287 $9,406,427 N/A N/A 100MW Solar $9,677,224 $9,369,718 $35,646 5,116,037 6.97 200MW Solar $9,696,854 $9,330,309 $94,685 10,232,074 9.25 100MW Wind $9,589,833 $9,314,133 $3,840 6,005,227 0.64 200MW Wind $9,505,452 $9,220,324 $13,268 12,010,455 1.10 Because Year 2024 has passed, Staff believes the cost and energy should be aligned based on 19 years. Table No. 4 shows the new average integration costs in 2024 dollars based on 19 years from 2025 to 2043. Third Supplemental Response to Request No. 17. Staff also STAFF COMMENTS 8 MAY 14, 2025 updated the non-levelized integration charges accordingly in Attachment No. 1. Staff recommends that the Commission approve the non-levelized integration charges in Attachment No. 1 for Schedule 87. Table No. 4: Updated Results based on 19 Years 20-Year 19-Year Block Result Result 100MW Solar $6.97 $7.78 200MW Solar $9.25 $10.07 100MW Wind $0.64 $0.95 200MW Wind $1.10 $1.31 Integration Charges for ECR In Case No. IPC-E-25-15, the Company proposed to use the Block 1 solar integration costs for 2025 as the integration charge for the ECR, which is $6.97/MWh. Response to Staff Production Request No. 3 (c). In March 2025, the 200-MW Pleasant Valley Solar project came online pushing the current solar penetration level into Block 2, indicating that the integration charge in 2025 should be $10.07/MWh. Because of the issues regarding ECR integration costs described above, and because there is likely to be another VER study soon after the 2025 IRP is filed, Staff believes it would be preferable to keep the integration costs in the 2025 ECR annual update at current levels so that Staff and the Company can reconcile the issues, and use updated values from the upcoming VER study in next year's ECR annual update. However, treatment of the cost to be included in the ECR is outside of the scope of this case and should be decided in Case No. IPC-E-25-15. Levelized Integration Charges The Company only proposed levelized integration charges for contracts with a term of 20 years, without considering the possibility that contracts may have terms shorter than 20 years. Therefore, Staff developed integration charges for contracts ranging from one year to 20 years in Attachment No. 1, using a discount rate of 7.247%, which was approved for the Company's Surrogate Avoided Resource Model. Staff recommends that the Commission approve the levelized integration charges in Attachment No. 1 for Schedule 87. STAFF COMMENTS 9 MAY 14, 2025 Filing The Company plans to update its VER study after each IRP,but if the Company believes a new VER study is not necessary, it will communicate with Staff. Response to Staff Production Request No. 6 (a). Given the timeline of the 2024 VER Study, which started around July 2024 and concluded in December 2024, Staff recommends that the Company file a new VER study within six months after the filing of each IRP using the information from the IRP as a starting point but updating it with the latest information. Staff also recommends that, if the Company believes a new VER study is not necessary, the Company file a waiver for the study with evidence supporting the Company's position within two months after the filing of the IRP. Effective Date Staff recommends an effective date of June 1, 2025, for the updated Schedule 87. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Commission approve the integration charges contained in Attachment No. I for Schedule 87 with an effective date of June 1, 2025. Staff also recommends that the Company file an updated Schedule 87 in a compliance filing to reflect the updated integration charges in Attachment No. 1, if approved. Before the next VER study, Staff recommends that the Commission order the Company to work with Staff on the following issues: • How to determine capital and fixed O&M cost of incremental resources; • Whether it is reasonable to include an analysis of inter-hour integration costs in the next study and whether inter-hour integration costs should be incorporated into the integration charges; • Whether Regulation Reserve Requirements should be updated; • How to reconcile differences in wind and solar integration cost for the ECR; • How to address the under-allocation issue for the ECR; and • Whether on-site generation can be incorporated in the analysis through developing a proxy to overcome the issue of data granularity. For future VER studies, Staff recommends that the Commission order the Company to file a new VER study within six months after the filing of each IRP, using the information from STAFF COMMENTS 10 MAY 14, 2025 the IRP as a starting point but updating it with the latest information. Staff also recommends that, if the Company believes a new VER study is not necessary, the Commission order the Company to file a waiver of the study with evidence supporting the Company's position within two months after the filing of the IRP.
