HAZELTON A HYDRO 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 North Side Energy Company, Inc. ("Seller") (jointly, "Parties") under
which Seller would sell and Idaho Power would purchase electric generation from the
Hereinafter cited as RP.
APPLICATION - 1

Hazelton A Hydro Project ("Project" or "Facility") located in Jerome County, Idaho, which
is a PURPA Qualifying Facility ("QF").
In support of this Application, Idaho Power represents as follows:
L BACKGROUND
1. The Hazelton A Hydro Project is an irrigation canal hydroelectric facility with
8,694 megawatt ("MW") nameplate capacity currently delivering energy to Idaho Power
under an Energy Sales Agreement entered into on December 08, 2010 ("2010
Agreement"). Though the cumulative Nameplate Capacity of the three generators is
8,694 kW, the Seller has requested that the Maximum Capacity Amount be set at 7,700
kW consistent with the Generator Interconnection Agreement. The ESA was approved
by the Commission in Case No. IPC-E-10-45, Order No. 32181, issued on February 11,
2011. The Agreement was subsequently assigned by SE Hazelton A, L.P. to SE Hazelton
A, LLC, and then later assigned to North Side Energy Company, Inc ("North Side
Energy"), which is the current seller under the Agreement.
2. The Agreement was amended on May 1, 2014 ("First Amendment"), to
update the Mid-Columbia Market Energy Cost definition, which was approved by
Commission Order No. 33053. The agreement was again amended on February 13,
2020 ("Second Amendment") to change the notification period for Net Energy Amount
monthly adjustments, which approved by the Commission in Order No. 34639. The
agreement was amended a third time on September 01, 2023 ("Third Amendment"), to
update Appendix B regarding the nameplate capacity listed, which was approved by the
Commission in Order No. 36040 and is the same amount listed in the Agreement.
3. The 2010 Agreement expires on February 28, 2026. See order No. 32181.
In anticipation of the current ESA expiring, Idaho Power and Seller have been in
APPLICATION - 2

communication since May 2025, regarding the process and timing for entering into a
replacement contract and have negotiated this ESA as a replacement for the expiring
ESA.
4. The ESA submitted herewith dated September 03, 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 2010 Agreement considering 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
"Seasonal Hydro" category pursuant to the surrogate avoided resource ("SAR") avoided
cost methodology as set in Case No. No. GNR-E-24-01, Order No. 36416 for a 20-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.
5. 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
6. Pursuant to PURPA and regulations of the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission ("FERC") implementing it, electric utilities are required to purchase power
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).
APPLICATION - 3

7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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).
10. 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,
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.
11. Relative to QF replacement contracts, the Commission subsequently
recognized that conditions existing at the time a legally enforceable obligation was
APPLICATION - 4

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
12. The Project is currently delivering energy to Idaho Power in accordance with
the 2010 Agreement, which expires on February 28, 2026. Idaho Power and the Seller
entered into a replacement ESA on September 3, 2025, in compliance with Commission
Order No. 32697 and its progeny, which is intended to replace the 2010 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.
13. Under the terms of the proposed ESA, the Seller elected to contract with
Idaho Power for a 20-year term using the non-levelized, published avoided cost rates for
"Seasonal Hydro" resources as currently established by the Commission in Order No.
36610 effective June 01, 2025, for replacement contracts and for energy deliveries of less
than 10 aMW. Additionally, because the Facility has been receiving capacity 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.
APPLICATION - 5

14. 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
15. 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.
16. 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
Amount monthly adjustments described in paragraph 6.2.3 must be provided no later than
5 p.m. Mountain Standard Time on the 25t" day of the month that is prior to the month to
be revised. If the 25t" 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
APPLICATION - 6

17. The Commission has previously approved the same five-day advanced
notice revisions to monthly generation estimates in numerous instances, 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, 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
18. 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 PURPA 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.
19. 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.
APPLICATION - 7

Capacity Size Thresho/d/Verification of Avoided Cost Rates
20. The Seller warrants that the Facility is a PURPA Qualifying Facility and has
provided documentation that the project nameplate capacity is 8,694 kW.
21. 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.
22. 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 "Seasonal
Hydro" resources as currently established by the Commission in Order No. 36610
effective June 1 , 2025.
Article XXIII (Modifications)
23. 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
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.
APPLICATION - 8

24. 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
25. 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 March 1, 2026. 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.
26. 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
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.
APPLICATION - 9

27. 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
28. 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.
29. Because the existing contract will run its full term and expire on February
28, 2026, 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.

pay for Inadvertent Energy.
7.7.3 Delivering Inadvertent Energy to Idaho Power for two(2)consecutive months and/or in
any three(3)months during a Contract Year will be a Material Breach of this
Agreement and Idaho Power may terminate this Agreement within sixty(60) days after
the Material Breach has occurred.
7.8 Seasonal Hydro Facility eli ig bility—If the Facility fails to satisfy the Seasonal Hydro Facility
Qualifications specified in paragraph 3.4,this Facility shall be reclassified as a Non-Seasonal
Hydro Facility for the remaining term of the Agreement and the Non-Seasonal Hydro Facility
Energy Prices specified in Appendix F will be applicable.
7.8.1 Annual eli.ig bility audits—On or before July 15'of the year following the first full June 1
—May 31 year after the Operations Date and for every year thereafter,Idaho Power will
divide the total Net Energy received from the Facility for the months of June,July, and
August by the total Net Energy received for the previous June 1 —May 31 year to
establish a percentage of energy deliveries for the months of June,July and August. Any
reduction in energy deliveries due to Forced Outages,planned or unplanned maintenance,
Force majeure or any other reduction in energy deliveries will result in reduction of both
the numerator and the denominator in this calculation,therefore no adjustment to this
calculation is required for these events.
7.8.1.1 If this percentage is greater than or equal to fifty-five percent(55%)it will be
deemed that the Facility has met the requirements to be classified as a Seasonal
Hydro Facility for that previous year.
7.8.1.2 If this percentage is less than fifty-five percent(55%), Idaho Power will provide
notification to the project of the Facility's failure to meet the Seasonal Hydro
Facility requirements for the previous year and the monthly energy payments for
that previous year will be recalculated to reflect the Non-Seasonal Hydro
Facility energy prices as contained within Appendix F of this Agreement. Any

overpayments will be collected from the Facility in equal monthly payments
over the remaining months of the current June 1 —May 31 year. If the Facility
fails to meet the Seasonal Hydro Facility requirements for the second to last
June 1 —May 31 year of the Contract Term,then the monthly energy payments
for the remaining term of the contract will be priced according to the Non-
Seasonal Hydro Facility Energy Prices specified in Appendix F.
7.8.1.3 If the Facility fails to achieve this percentage of fifty-five percent(55%) for at
least three(3)years during any Seasonal Hydro Facility Eligibility Test Period
the Facility will be reclassified as a Non-Seasonal Hydro Facility for the
remaining term of this Agreement and the Non-Seasonal Hydro Facility Energy
Prices specified in Appendix F will replace the Seasonal Hydro Facility Energy
Prices specified in Appendix E for use in all calculations in this Agreement for
the remaining term of the Agreement.
7.9 Payments—Undisputed Base Energy and Surplus Energy payments,less any payments due to
Idaho Power will be disbursed to the Seller within thirty(30)days of the date which Idaho Power
receives and accepts the documentation of the monthly Base Energy and Surplus Energy actually

B-4 MAXIMUM CAPACITY AMOUNT:
The Maximum Capacity Amount is 7700 kW which is consistent with the value provided by the
Seller to Idaho Power in accordance with the GIA. This value represents the total Project output
listed in the GIA, and though the Facility is capable of generating in excess of this amount as
described in Section B-1, above, the Seller will limit operations to a Maximum Capacity Amount
of 7700 kW to remain consistent with the GIA.
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 GIA will
become an integral part of this Agreement.
B-6 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 0.76%
of the kWh energy 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 Firm 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.

4904-1449-5575.v 1

Docusign Envelope ID:572F3546-A6B3-43C4-840D-21C5D566706D
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)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 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.
