PAC-E-25-14 INTER-JURISDICTIONAL COST ) ALLOCATION PROTOCOL ) ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER REDACTED Direct Testimony of Michael G. Wilding August 2025 1 I . INTRODUCTION 2 Q. Please state your name, business address, and present 3 position with PacifiCorp d/b/a Rocky Mountain Power 4 ("Company") . 5 A. My name is Michael G. Wilding, and my business address 6 is 825 NE Multnomah Street, Suite 600, Portland, 7 Oregon 97232 . My title is Vice President, Energy 8 Supply Management . 9 Q. Please describe your education and professional 10 experience. 11 A. I received a Master of Accounting degree from Weber 12 State University and a Bachelor of Science degree in 13 accounting from Utah State University. As Vice 14 President, Energy Supply Management ("ESM") , my 15 responsibilities include directing the Company' s front 16 office organization in commercial and trading 17 activities . ESM is responsible for commercially 18 managing the Company' s diverse generation portfolio . 19 This includes electric and natural gas hedging, day- 20 ahead trading, real-time trading, and system 21 balancing. I am also responsible for the Company' s 22 carbon policy and reporting group. Before assuming my 23 current position in February 2021, I worked on various 24 regulatory projects including general rate cases, the Wilding, Di 1 Rocky Mountain Power 1 multi-state process, and net power cost filings . I 2 have been employed by the Company since 2014 . 3 Q. Have you testified in previous regulatory 4 proceedings? 5 A. Yes . I have previously testified in front of the Idaho 6 Public Utilities Commission ("Commission") , and in 7 Utah, Wyoming, California, Oregon, and Washington. I 8 have also filed testimony at the Federal Energy 9 Regulatory Commission. 10 Q. What is the purpose of your testimony in this 11 proceeding? 12 A. The purpose of my testimony is to support the 2026 13 PacifiCorp Inter-Jurisdictional Allocation Protocol 14 ("2026 Protocol") for interjurisdictional cost 15 allocations . I show how Idaho customers will be 16 reasonably allocated resources under the 2026 Protocol 17 in terms of resource adequacy. Additionally, I 18 describe the impacts of having two separate generation 19 portfolios on the Company' s front-office operation and 20 the risk management policy. Finally, I explain how the 21 Extended Day-Ahead Market ("EDAM") settlements may be 22 used in the future to settle, or track, net power costs 23 once generation portfolios are fixed and generation 24 resources are no longer dynamically shared among Wilding, Di 2 Rocky Mountain Power I Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, California, and Oregon (the 2 "Five States") . 3 Q. Please describe how your testimony is organized. 4 A. First, my testimony describes how the 2026 Protocol 5 maintains a reasonable resource adequacy position and 6 market position for Idaho customers . Next, I describe 7 the changes to the hedging and risk management policy 8 that the Company is implementing. Finally, I explain 9 how the Company' s participation in organized markets 10 will impact the future allocations of net power costs . 11 II . THE 2026 PROTOCOL MAINTAINS RESOURCE 12 ADEQUACY FOR IDAHO CUSTOMERS 13 Q. Please briefly describe the limited realignment of 14 generation. 15 A. As described in the testimony of Company witness 16 Joelle R. Steward, the 2020 Inter-Jurisdictional 17 Allocation Protocol ("2020 Protocol") is expiring on 18 December 31, 2025, and the Company is now proposing a 19 new inter-jurisdictional cost-allocation methodology, 20 the 2026 Protocol . ' The 2026 Protocol is the first step 21 in a process to transition cost allocation and changes 22 in operations to accommodate diverging resource 23 portfolios required to comply with different state 24 energy policies . Most immediately, Washington' s Clean Direct Testimony of Joelle R. Steward at 8-10 (Aug. 6, 2025) . Wilding, Di 3 Rocky Mountain Power 1 Energy Transformation Act requires that the costs of 2 coal generation be excluded from Washington retail 3 rates after December 31, 2025 . Additionally, in light 4 of state disallowances of carbon costs under 5 Washington' s Climate Commitment Act, it is necessary 6 to situs assign all the costs and benefits of the 7 Chehalis natural gas plant to Washington. Notably, 8 this limited realignment was contemplated as a 9 potential future step in the 2020 Protocol . 2 10 Q. Please briefly describe the creation of two distinct 11 generation portfolios . 12 A. The limited realignment that is being proposed under 13 the 2026 Protocol creates two distinct generation 14 portfolios—a Five-State portfolio ("Five-State 15 Portfolio") and the Washington fixed portfolio 16 ("Washington Fixed Portfolio") . The Five-State 17 Portfolio benefits from the diversity of the Company' s 18 system and includes a percentage of every resource on 19 the system except for the Chehalis natural gas plant 20 and Washington qualifying facilities (%Fs") , which 21 are situs assigned to Washington. There are four 22 different subsets of generation resources in the two 23 portfolios . The first subset includes those that are 24 allocated to both portfolios . The second subset is for 2 See 2020 Protocol, Section 6.4. Wilding, Di 4 Rocky Mountain Power 1 generation resources that are fully allocated to the 2 Five-State Portfolio and not included in the 3 Washington Fixed Portfolio . The third subset is for 4 the Rolling Hills Wind facility, which is included in 5 the Five-State Portfolio, except for Oregon, and in 6 the Washington Fixed Portfolio . The fourth subset 7 includes Washington situs resources that are fully 8 allocated to the Washington Fixed Portfolio . The 9 subsets of resources included in the two portfolios 10 are summarized in the table below. Five-State Washington Plant Name/Resource Portfolio Fixed Total Type (OR, CA, ID, portfolio UT, WY) Resource Subset 1 Jim Bridger 1 & 2 92 . 10% 7 . 90% 100% Other Existing Non- Emitting Resources 92 . 10% 7 . 90% 100% (non-QFs) Legacy Interruptible 92 . 10% 7 . 90% 100% Contracts Resource Subset 2 Other Natural Gas 100% 0% 100% and Coal (non-QFs) Five State QFs 100% 0% 100% Resource Subset 3 Rolling Hills Wind 65 . 13% 34 . 87% 100% (excluding OR) Resource Subset 4 WA QFs 0% 100% 100% Chehalis 0% 100% 100% 11 Q. How will the generation costs within the Five-State 12 Portfolio be allocated? Wilding, Di 5 Rocky Mountain Power 1 A. The generation costs within the Five-State Portfolio 2 will continue to be allocated on a dynamic basis, with 3 a few exceptions . First, Oregon does not participate 4 in the Rolling Hills Wind facility. Second, QF costs 5 continue under the same treatment as the 2020 6 Protocol . Any new or renewed QF contract as of January 7 1, 2020, is situs assigned to the state of origin. 8 Lastly, certain resources acquired for the purpose of 9 state-specific initiatives, such as community solar, 10 will continue to be situs assigned to the state of 11 origin . 12 Q. Did the Company analyze the resource adequacy and 13 energy position of the Five-State Portfolio? 14 A. Yes . The Company assessed the impact of the 2026 15 Protocol on the resource adequacy and energy position 16 of the Five-State Portfolio, and performed a separate 17 analysis for Idaho . 18 Q. Please describe the results of your assessment of 19 resource adequacy under the 2026 Protocol . 20 A. I found that when compared to the 2020 Protocol, the 21 Five-State Portfolio under the 2026 Protocol provides 22 a similar resource adequacy position. This is also 23 consistent with my findings when comparing resource 24 adequacy impacts separately for Idaho . Wilding, Di 6 Rocky Mountain Power 1 Q. What is resource adequacy and how does it benefit 2 customers? 3 A. Resource adequacy is a measure, typically for the next 4 year or season, of a utility' s or load-serving 5 entity' s ability to serve load in a reliable manner. 6 This measure typically identifies an adequate amount 7 of both generation and transmission capacity needed to 8 reliably serve peak load plus a planning reserve to 9 account for uncertainty, such as outages, 10 underperformance of resources, and higher-than- 11 forecast loads . Customers benefit from the utility 12 being resource-adequate through reliable service and 13 more stable power costs . 14 Q. Does the Company have a formal resource adequacy 15 standard? 16 A. Yes . The Company currently participates in the non- 17 financially binding phase of the Western Resource 18 Adequacy Program ("WRAP") , which is a regional 19 reliability planning and compliance program developed 20 by the members of the Western Power Pool to address 21 the emerging reliability needs in the West . WRAP has 22 created a regional planning standard for which each 23 participant must comply. This planning compliance 24 occurs twice a year in what is called the "forward 25 showing. " Each WRAP participant must show it has Wilding, Di 7 Rocky Mountain Power 1 adequate generation and transmission capacity to meet 2 its peak load plus a planning reserve margin ("PRM") 3 twice a year, once for the summer period (June through 4 September) and once for the winter period (November 5 through March) . The PRM is calculated monthly based on 6 a one-in-ten-year loss of load event . Currently, there 7 are no penalties for failing to comply with the WRAP 8 standard. However, once the program becomes 9 financially binding, WRAP participants who fail to 10 meet the WRAP standard in their forward showing will 11 face deficiency charges . Each WRAP participant must 12 decide whether to become part of the financially 13 binding WRAP by October 31, 2025 . 14 Q. Please explain how you evaluated the resource adequacy 15 of the Five-State Portfolio and Idaho' s share of the 16 Five-State Portfolio. 17 A. I used the WRAP methodology to evaluate the resource 18 adequacy of the Five-State Portfolio and Idaho' s share 19 of the Five-State Portfolio for 2026 under the 2026 20 Protocol and the 2020 Protocol . The monthly peak loads 21 for the 2026 winter and summer seasons are from the 22 most recent Company load forecast used in regulatory 23 proceedings . The WRAP monthly PRM, ranging from 24 13 . 7 percent to 21 . 9 percent, is added to the monthly Wilding, Di 8 Rocky Mountain Power REDACTED 1 peak load forecast . 3 The monthly peak load plus the 2 PRM is the amount of generation capacity that is needed 3 to comply with WRAP. 4 Each resource is assigned a qualified capacity 5 contribution ("QCC") , which is a measure of how much 6 of the generation capacity can be expected to be 7 available for dispatch during the peak load. The QCC 8 is calculated based on historical performance of the 9 resource or resource type, e .g. , wind and solar 10 resource QCCs are evaluated as a resource type in a 11 specific region. To be considered resource adequate, 12 the sum of the QCCs of all generation resources must 13 be greater than or equal to peak load plus the PRM 14 each month. 4 15 Q. Please show the resource adequacy comparison of the 16 Five-State Portfolio under the 2020 Protocol and the 17 2026 Protocol . 18 A. Confidential Figure 1 shows the capacity contribution 19 by resource type, based on the WRAP QCCs, attributed 20 to the Five-State Portfolio compared to the peak load 3 Note that April, May, and October do not have WRAP planning standards. Since peak load is often driven by heating and cooling, these are "s mom Wilding, Di 9 Rocky Mountain Power REDACTED 1 and PRM for the 2026 WRAP seasons (winter and summer) 2 under the 2020 Protocol and the 2026 Protocol . 3 Confidential Figure 1 : Five-State Portfolio Resource 4 Adequacy Under the 2020 Protocol and 2026 Protocol 5 The "Load + PRM" lines are identical between 6 the 2020 Protocol and 2026 Protocol views, with only 7 the bars showing the QCC of generation resources 8 changing. Confidential Figure 1 shows that resource 9 adequacy from the Five-State Portfolio is similar 10 between the 2026 Protocol and the 2020 Protocol . 11 Q. Why does the 2026 Protocol not fully cover the peak 12 loads plus PRM in each month for the Five-State 13 Portfolio? 14 A. First, this is not surprising as the Company, as a 15 system, generally has an open position that it fills Wilding, Di 10 Rocky Mountain Power REDACTED 1 using near-term transactions such as market purchases . 2 My analysis only considers existing resources and does 3 not consider other actions the Company will take to 4 ensure reliability for its customers . 5 Q. Please show the resource adequacy comparison for 6 Idaho' s share of the Five-State Portfolio under the 7 2020 Protocol and the 2026 Protocol . 8 A. Confidential Figure 2 provides a resource adequacy 9 look for Idaho' s allocation of the Five-State 10 Portfolio under the 2020 Protocol and the 2026 11 Protocol . 5 12 Confidential Figure 2 : Idaho Resource Adequacy 13 Under the 2020 Protocol and the 2026 Protocol s The Company has conducted similar analysis for each of the Five States, as provided in Exhibit No. 6 to my testimony. Wilding, Di 11 Rocky Mountain Power 1 The "Load + PRM" lines are identical between 2 the 2020 Protocol and the 2026 Protocol views, with 3 only the bars showing the QCC of generation resources 4 changing. Confidential Figure 2 shows that, based on 5 Idaho' s share of the Five-State Portfolio, resource 6 adequacy is similar under the 2026 Protocol and the 7 2020 Protocol . 8 Q. Please explain how you evaluated the ability of the 9 Five-State Portfolio to meet the energy needs of 10 customers . 11 A. First, I looked at two months : January 2026, to capture 12 the winter peak; and July 2026, to capture the summer 13 peak. Using the same load forecast as the resource 14 adequacy analysis, an hourly load profile was created 15 for each month based on the average hourly load for 16 the Five States . The average hourly energy output of 17 the Five-State Portfolio was created for different 18 types of resources . 19 For run-of-river hydroelectric and geothermal 20 resources, a flat generation profile was used based on 21 the WRAP QCCs . For wind and solar resources, hourly 22 generation profiles were sourced from developer- 23 provided forecasts . For natural gas, hourly energy 24 schedules were created based on actual generation data 25 from January 2025 and July 2024 . Storage resource Wilding, Di 12 Rocky Mountain Power 1 schedules were created from the Company' s production 2 cost model outputs to determine the optimal use of 3 battery charging and discharging across an average day 4 in January and July. Finally, dispatchable 5 hydroelectric resource schedules were created by 6 determining optimal schedules to minimize the single- 7 hour short position for the Five States based on a 8 normal water year. Once the hourly energy schedules 9 were created, I applied the resource-specific 10 allocation percentage for each of the Five States 11 under the 2020 Protocol and the 2026 Protocol . 12 Q. Please show the energy comparison of the Five-State 13 Portfolio under the 2020 Protocol and the 2026 14 Protocol . 15 A. The results of the analysis show that the 2026 Protocol 16 slightly improves the Five-State energy position 17 compared to the 2020 Protocol . Confidential Figure 3 18 compares the 2020 Protocol average energy profile to 19 the 2026 Protocol and the average load for the Five 20 States in January 2026 . Wilding, Di 13 Rocky Mountain Power REDACTED 1 Confidential Figure 3 : System Energy Comparison of 2 the 2026 Protocol and the 2020 Protocol - January 2026 3 Confidential Figure 3 shows that the 2026 4 Protocol slightly increases the energy sufficiency 5 quantity for customers for all hours compared to the 6 2020 Protocol . 7 Confidential Figure 4 compares the 2020 8 Protocol average energy profile to the 2026 Protocol 9 average energy profile, against the average load for 10 the Five States in July 2026 . 11 Confidential Figure 4 : System Energy Comparison of 12 the 2026 Protocol and the 2020 Protocol - July 2026 Wilding, Di 14 Rocky Mountain Power REDACTED 1 When the Company analyzed average energy needs 2 in July 2026, the energy shortfall decreased for all 3 hours except hours ending 2 through 6 under the 2026 4 Protocol compared to the 2020 Protocol . Although some 5 hours showed a decreased energy position in July under 6 the 2026 Protocol, the overall energy position 7 improved. 8 9 10 The 2026 Protocol reduces the system energy shortfall 11 over these critical hours, thereby reducing reliance 12 on market purchases . 13 Q. Why does the 2026 Protocol not fully cover the energy 14 needs of customers in the Five-States during July? 15 A. Like the resource adequacy results, this is not 16 surprising as the Company, as a system, generally has 17 an open position that it fills using near-term 18 transactions such as market purchases . While 19 Confidential Figure 4 shows that neither allocation 20 method leads to customers being able to meet 100 21 percent energy needs with existing resources during 22 July 2026, the Company will take near-term actions, 23 such as making market purchases, to ensure there is 24 enough energy to meet system load. Wilding, Di 15 Rocky Mountain Power 1 Q. Please explain how you evaluated the ability of 2 Idaho' s share of the Five-State Portfolio to meet the 3 energy needs of Idaho customers . 4 A. First, I looked at two months : January 2026, to capture 5 the winter peak; and July 2026, to capture the summer 6 peak. Using the same load forecast, an hourly load 7 profile was created for each month based on the average 8 hourly load for Idaho. The average hourly energy 9 output is the same as the data that was used in the 10 analysis of the Five-State Portfolio . I applied 11 resource-specific Idaho allocation percentages under 12 the 2020 Protocol and the 2026 Protocol to the energy 13 schedules to arrive at Idaho-allocated energy totals . 14 Q. What did the analysis show at the state-level view? 15 A. The results of the state-level energy analysis are 16 similar to the Five-State Portfolio view. Confidential 17 Figure 5 compares the 2020 Protocol average energy 18 profile with the 2026 Protocol average energy profile, 19 against the average load for Idaho in January 2026 . 20 The figure shows that the 2026 Protocol slightly 21 increases the energy sufficiency quantity for Idaho 22 customers for all hours compared to 2020 Protocol . Wilding, Di 16 Rocky Mountain Power REDACTED 1 Confidential Figure 5 : Idaho Energy Comparison of 2 the 2026 Protocol and the 2020 Protocol - January 2026 3 The July 2026 results for Idaho shown in 4 Confidential Figure 6 differ slightly from the Five- 5 State Portfolio results . The 2026 Protocol improves 6 the Idaho energy position for all hours compared to 7 the 2020 Protocol . 8 Confidential Figure 6: Idaho Energy Comparison of 9 the 2026 Protocol and the 2020 Protocol - July 2026 10 Q. What conclusions do you draw from your energy 11 analysis? 12 A. Under the 2026 Protocol, the Company' s Idaho customers 13 are in a more favorable position than under the 2020 Wilding, Di 17 Rocky Mountain Power 1 Protocol . On average, both the Five-State Portfolio 2 and Idaho' s share of the Five-State Portfolio produce 3 slightly more energy every hour under the 2026 4 Protocol . This results in less market reliance and 5 more price stability. 6 III . IMPACTS TO THE RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY 7 Q. In light of creating the two resource portfolios, did 8 the Company evaluate its risk management policy? 9 A. Yes . The Company routinely evaluates its risk 10 management policy to ensure risks are being adequately 11 addressed, and changes in the market (e .g. , price, 12 product availability, etc . ) or the regulatory 13 landscape are considered. The creation of the two 14 generation portfolios, the Five-State Portfolio and 15 the Washington Fixed Portfolio also caused the Company 16 to evaluate its risk management policy. The risk 17 management policy was reviewed to specifically address 18 two risks : resource adequacy risk and price volatility 19 risk. 20 Q. Are the regulatory changes in the states that the 21 Company serves contributing to changes to the risk 22 management policy? 23 A. Yes . Changes in state energy policy where the Company 24 operates are driving the need to manage resource 25 adequacy and price risk across the Company' s system in Wilding, Di 18 Rocky Mountain Power 1 different ways . As an example, compliance with 2 Washington law requires coal to be out of Washington 3 customer rates effective January 1, 2026, and places 4 restrictions on the types of market purchases that the 5 Company can use to address the risks identified above . 6 Additionally, the 2026 Protocol creates two distinct 7 resource portfolios and includes situs assignment of 8 resources . These changes require that forward market 9 transactions, including hedges, be accounted for 10 separately for each of the resource portfolios . 11 Q. Please describe the changes that the Company will make 12 to its current risk management policy and hedging 13 program and practices if the 2026 Protocol is 14 approved. 15 A. The Company will create two separate power and gas 16 hedge books, one for the Five-State Portfolio and one 17 for the Washington Fixed Portfolio . This will allow 18 the Company to manage risk to net power costs ("NPC") 19 on behalf of customers, while ensuring compliance with 20 all relevant state laws . 21 Q. Once the changes to the risk management policy are in 22 place, how will forward market transactions and hedges 23 be allocated? 24 A. Once the changes to the risk management policy are in 25 place, all forward transactions and hedges will be Wilding, Di 19 Rocky Mountain Power 1 executed either for the Five-State book or for the 2 Washington book. Any forward market transactions 3 greater than balance of month will be tracked 4 specifically for the relevant book. 5 Q. How will existing hedges made for 2026 be allocated? 6 A. The Company has already made market transactions for 7 delivery in 2026 and has no desire for any state to 8 "start from zero" when the change is made, so there 9 will be an allocation of existing hedges to the two 10 books . Once the 2026 Protocol is approved, the Company 11 will assign the existing hedges to either the Five- 12 State book or the Washington book considering supply 13 risk, price risk, and compliance obligations . 14 IV. ORGANIZED MARKET PARTICIPATION 15 Q. Please explain the Company' s experience with organized 16 market participation. 17 A. In 2014, the Company partnered with the California 18 Independent System Operator to launch the Western 19 Energy Imbalance Market ("WEIM") , a real-time 20 organized market. The WEIM is a real-time imbalance 21 market that operates on 15-minute and 5-minute 22 intervals, optimizing imbalances by using available 23 transmission and generation from market participants 24 through an economic dispatch mechanism. Since its 25 inception, the WEIM participation has grown into a Wilding, Di 20 Rocky Mountain Power 1 diverse footprint that currently has approximately 2 80 percent of the Western Electricity Coordinating 3 Council load participating. WEIM participants have 4 realized significant economic benefits in the form of 5 $7 . 41 billion through the second quarter of 2025 . The 6 Company has achieved approximately $1 . 02 billion in 7 savings, which has benefited customers through reduced 8 NPC. 6 The Company has also announced its intention to 9 join the EDAM and is currently working on 10 implementation with an expected go-live date of May 11 2026 . 12 Q. Please explain the EDAM. 13 A. The EDAM is a voluntary day-ahead market that 14 encompasses the foundation of the WEIM design . The 15 WEIM is designed to optimize generation in the real- 16 time timeframe by economically dispatching resources 17 to meet demand fluctuations across the WEIM footprint 18 while considering transmission constraints and 19 congestion. Before the operating hour, the WEIM 20 examines whether a balancing authority area can meet 21 its own native resource-load balance by testing the 22 resource plan against the feasibility of 23 deliverability to its own native load, this is called 6 See Western Energy Markest, "Benefits," https://www.westerneim.com/Pages/About/QuarterlyBenefits.aspx (last accessed (July 31, 2025) . Wilding, Di 21 Rocky Mountain Power 1 the resource sufficiency evaluation. This uniform 2 assessment ensures there is no leaning on the 3 footprint thereby creating reliability issues . The 4 EDAM extends this framework to the day-ahead 5 timeframe, optimizing all load, transmission, and 6 generation resources . 7 Q. How might future EDAM participation impact NPC 8 allocations in Phase 2 of the 2026 Protocol? 9 A. As part of the 2020 Protocol, the Company introduced 10 the concept of the nodal pricing model ("NPM") . This 11 was a method to track NPC once state generation 12 portfolios become static or fixed. EDAM settlements 13 will replace the need for the NPM. At this time, only 14 Washington will have a static generation portfolio, 15 and EDAM will not be live until May 2026 . However, in 16 the future, EDAM settlements will enable the Company 17 to track NPC per unique generation portfolios . For 18 example, Idaho would be allocated the fuel costs, 19 purchased power costs, and wholesale sale revenues 20 associated with its generation portfolio . Idaho would 21 pay the market price for its load and would receive 22 the market revenues from its generation resources . The 23 sum of the load costs and the generation revenues would 24 net to zero on a system basis but would result in 25 either a credit or cost to each unique generation Wilding, Di 22 Rocky Mountain Power 1 portfolio on the Company' s system. This cost or credit 2 for Idaho would be added to the allocated fuel costs, 3 purchased power costs, and wholesale sale revenues to 4 arrive at the total NPC. This will be based on the 5 actual market settlements received from EDAM. The 6 Company is not asking the Commission to consider using 7 EDAM to track NPC for Idaho at this time . I anticipate 8 multiple workshops on this subject and more robust 9 testimony will accompany any filing asking to 10 implement this method. 11 V. CONCLUSION 12 Q. Please summarize and conclude your testimony. 13 A. In summary, the 2026 Protocol provides Idaho customers 14 with a generation portfolio that results in similar 15 resource adequacy and market reliance as under the 16 2020 Protocol . I recommend that the Commission approve 17 the 2026 Protocol as just and reasonable for Idaho 18 customers . 19 Q. Does this conclude your testimony? 20 A. Yes .
