REQUEST:

Table 13 on page 54 of Pat Ehrbar’s direct testimony presents the results of the Idaho Residential Usage Analysis for 2014, but excluded accounts that were only open for a partial year. Please provide this analysis without excluding accounts that were only open for a partial year. In addition, please indicate the number of customers in each group (electric only- LIHEAP, electric only- all other, dual fuel- LIHEAP, and dual fuel- all other) with low, medium, and high usage.

RESPONSE:

As discussed with Commission Staff, the Company is not able to recreate the analysis which would include customers who were only open for a partial year. In order to recreate the analysis, substantial time and programming would need to occur with the Company’s recently-replaced customer information system.
