PAC-E-26-05 REQUESTING APPROVAL TO RECOVER ) $4.1 MILLION ASSOCIATED WITH THE ) APPLICATION OF ECAM DEFERRAL AND REFUND $1.4 ) ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER MILLION ASSOCIATED WITH THE RRA Rocky Mountain Power, a division of PacifiCorp ("Company" or "Rocky Mountain Power"), in accordance with Idaho Code § 61-502, § 61-503, and RP 052, hereby respectfully submits this application("Application")to the Idaho Public Utilities Commission("Commission") pursuant to the Company's approved energy cost adjustment mechanism ("ECAM"). The Company is requesting approval of approximately$4.1 million of deferred costs from the deferral period beginning January 1, 2025,through December 31, 2025, ("Deferral Period"). This deferral, plus the requested recovery associated with the previous ECAMs and associate carrying charges as described herein, results in a 0.7 percent overall average decrease for all Idaho customers. The Company is also requesting to return$1.4 million related to sales of renewable energy credits ("RECs") to Idaho customers over a one-year period, beginning June 1, 2026, through Electric Service Schedule No. 98, REC Revenue Adjustment ("RRA"). This is comprised of the 2026 RRA Deferral Balance of$1.3 million and interest of$32 thousand. This results in a 0.4 percent overall average decrease for all Idaho customers. In support of its Application, Rocky Mountain Power states as follows: APPLICATION OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER Page 1 1. Rocky Mountain Power is a division of PacifiCorp, an Oregon corporation, which provides electric service to retail customers through its Rocky Mountain Power division in the states of Idaho,Wyoming,and Utah.Rocky Mountain Power is a public utility in the state of Idaho and is subject to the Commission's jurisdiction with respect to its prices and terms of electric service to retail customers in Idaho pursuant to Idaho Code §61-129. Rocky Mountain Power is authorized to do business in the state of Idaho providing retail electric service to approximately 91,000 customers in the state. I. Energy Cost Adjustment Mechanism (SCAM) —Schedule 94 BACKGROUND 2. The ECAM became effective July 1, 2009, pursuant to an agreement among parties.' The ECAM allows the Company to collect or credit the difference between the actual net power costs ("Actual NPC") incurred to serve customers in Idaho and the NPC collected from Idaho customers through rates set in general rate cases ("Base NPC"). 3. Included in the ECAM are NPC as defined in the Company's general rate cases and modeled by the Company's Generation and Regulation Initiative Decision ("GRID") production dispatch model.2 Specifically,NPC includes amounts booked to the following FERC accounts: • Account 447 (sales for resale, excluding on-system wholesale sales and other revenues not modeled in GRID), • Account 501 (fuel, steam generation, excluding fuel handling, start-up fuel/gas, diesel fuel, residual disposal and other costs not modeled in GRID), • Account 503 (steam from other sources), 1 In the Matter of the Application of Rocky Mountain Power for Approval of an Energy Cost Adjustment Mechanism (ECAM),Case No.PAC-E-08-08,Order No.30904(September 29,2009)("ECAM Order"). z Id. at 2-3. APPLICATION OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER Page 2 • Account 547 (fuel, other generation), • Account 555 (purchased power, excluding BPA residential exchange credit pass- through if applicable), and • Account 565 (transmission of electricity by others). 4. On a monthly basis, the Company compares the Actual NPC to the Base NPC and defers the difference into the ECAM balancing account. This comparison is on a system-wide, dollar per megawatt-hour basis.' 5. In addition to the difference between Actual NPC and Base NPC, the ECAM includes the following additional components: the Load Change Adjustment Revenues ("LCAR"),4 coal stripping costs under Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") 04-6,5 Production Tax Credits ("PTC"),6 the reasonable energy price ("REP"), as defined in the 2020 Protocol, qualified facility("QF")costs,7 and wind availability liquidated damages.'These components are described in more detail below. 6. The ECAM includes a symmetrical sharing band of 90 percent (customers) / 10 percent (Company) that shares the differential between Actual NPC and Base NPC, LCAR, and the EITF 04-06 coal stripping costs. The components of the ECAM subject to the sharing band are described in more detail below. 3 Id. at 3. 4 Id. at 4. 5 See In the Matter of the Application of PacifiCorp DBA Rocky Mountain Power for Approval of an Accounting Order Authorizing the Deferral of Costs Associated with Coal Mine Stripping Activities, Case No.PAC-E-09-08, Order No. 30987(January 22,2010). 6 In the Matter of PacifiCorp DBA Rocky Mountain Power's Application to Modem the Energy Cost Adjustment Mechanism and Increase Rates,Case No.PAC-E-15-09,Order No.33440 at 5 (December 23,2015)(2015 ECAM Order). 7 In the Matter of the Application for Approval of the 2020 PacifiCorp Inter-Jurisdictional Allocation Protocol,Case No.PAC-E-19-20,Order No. 34640(April 22,2020). 'In the Matter of Application of Rocky Mountain Power for Binding Ratemaking Treatment for Wind Reporting, Case No.PAC-E-17-06,Order No.33954 at 5(December 28,2017). APPLICATION OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER Page 3 7. PTCs are tracked in the ECAM without applying the sharing band.' Under the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"), a wind facility generates a PTC equal to an inflation-adjusted 1.5 cents per kilowatt hour of electricity produced and sold to a third-parry. 10 The PTC is in place for a period of 10 years beginning on the date the facility is placed in-service for income tax purposes." As published in Internal Revenue Service ("IRS")Notice 2025-38, the 2025 PTC rate for electricity generated from qualifying wind facilities placed in service prior to January 1, 2022, is 3.0 cents per kilowatt hour.12 The 2025 PTC rate for electricity generated from qualifying wind facilities placed in service after December 31, 2021 is 3.0 cents per kilowatt hour.13 Additionally, facilities placed in service after December 31,2022,may also qualify for a 10%bonus credit if the facility is located in a qualified `energy community.'14 PTCs are reflected as a reduction to current income tax expense on the financial statements and for ratemaking purposes.A forecasted level of PTCs at the then-current IRC value was included in base rates benefiting customers; however, the quantity and value of PTCs received is dependent on the inflation-adjusted rate effective when they are produced and the amount of generation at eligible facilities. Generation from these facilities is highly dependent on weather, varying from year to year as weather patterns fluctuate. 12015 ECAM Order at 5. 10 IRC section 45(a). 11 IRC section 45(a). 12 This rate is applicable to all of the Company's credit-eligible wind projects in service as of December 31,2024, other than Foote Creek II-IV,Rock River I,and Rock Creek I and II. "Also as published in IRS Notice 2025-38,the 2025 PTC rate for electricity generated from qualifying wind facilities placed in service after December 31,2021,is.60 cents per kilowatt hour. If the facility(i)has a maximum output of less than 1 megawatt,(ii)began construction prior to January 29,2023,or(iii)satisfies the prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements,then the credit amount is multiplied by 5,or 3.0 cents per kilowatt hour. Foote Creek II-IV,Rock River I and Rock Creek I and II were placed in service after December 31,2021,and began construction prior to January 29,2023,making the applicable 2025 credit rate for these projects 3.0 cents per kilowatt hour. 14 Foote Creek II-IV and Rock River I are located in Census Tract Number FIPS Code 56007968100,which is a qualified energy community pursuant to IRS Notice 2023-29,Appendix C. In addition,Rock Creek I and II are located in Census Tract Number FIBS Code 56001963900,which is also a qualified energy community per IRS Notice 2023-29,Appendix C. Therefore,all of these projects qualify for a 10%bonus credit.The bonus credit is calculated by multiplying standard credit by 10%(e.g.,kilowatt hours produced and sold x applicable PTC Rate= Standard Credit). APPLICATION OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER Page 4 To the extent that actual generation from these facilities varies from the level in base rates, the value of the energy is reflected in Actual NPC and a corresponding adjustment is made to the PTC that customers receive through the ECAM. Facilities that meet IRC qualifications are eligible for PTCs for the first ten years after becoming commercially operational. While many of the Company's wind facilities have reached their ten-year anniversary and would no longer be eligible for PTCs, the repowering program undertaken by the Company has extended this benefit for an additional ten years. PROPOSED ECAM RATES 8. In support of the proposed ECAM rates included in this Application, Rocky Mountain Power has filed the testimony and exhibits of Company witnesses Mr. Jack Painter and Mr. Kenneth Lee Elder, Jr. Mr. Painter's testimony describes the Actual NPC incurred by the Company to serve retail load for the Deferral Period and explains the differences between Actual NPC and Base NPC to support the ECAM rate under Schedule 94. Mr. Elder's testimony describes how the Company's proposed rates were set to recover the 2025 ECAM deferral balances through Electric Service Schedule No. 94 -Energy Cost Adjustment, ("Schedule 94"). 9. Exhibit No. 1 to Mr. Painter's testimony illustrates the detailed calculation of the ECAM deferral. The deferral is calculated monthly by comparing Idaho-allocated Actual NPC to the Base NPC collected in rates that was established in the Company's 2024 Rate Case.15 As a result of the 2024 Rate Case,REC revenue was removed from the ECAM calculation and separated into the new RRA mechanism beginning February 1, 2025. Also, wheeling revenues were added to the ECAM beginning February 1, 2025. For the Deferral Period the NPC differential was 15 In the Matter of Rocky Mountain Power's Application for Authority to Increase Its Rates and Charges in Idaho, Case No.PAC-E-24-04. (The test period for this case was based on a historical twelve-month test period of January 2024 through December 2024,which became effective February 1,2025). APPLICATION OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER Page 5 approximately $2.6 million before the 90/10 percent sharing band. Mr. Painter's testimony explains the main drivers for the net power cost deferral,which include increased coal fuel supply and lower natural gas market prices and power market prices from their 2023 peaks. 10. Mr. Painter's testimony specifically addresses the LCAR, EITF 04-6 treatment of coal stripping costs, a true-up of 100 percent of the incremental REC revenues for January 2025, PTCs, the REP QF charge, and wind availability liquated damages. 11. The LCAR is a symmetrical adjustment to offset over- or under-collection of the Company's energy-related production revenue requirement, excluding NPC, due to variances in Idaho load. The LCAR decreased the deferral balance by approximately $2.1 million before applying the sharing band due to higher usage during the Deferral Period. 12. The difference between including coal stripping costs recorded on the Company's books under the guidance of the accounting pronouncement EITF 04-6, and expensing coal stripping costs when the coal was excavated increased the ECAM deferral by $84,392 before applying the sharing band. 13. The total NPC deferral adjusted for LCAR and EITF 04-6 was approximately $604,629 for which customers are responsible for 90 percent, and the Company is responsible for the remaining 10 percent.After accounting for the sharing band,the NPC deferral is approximately $544,196. 14. During the Deferral Period the PTC differential, as described in paragraph 7, increases the deferral approximately $1 million. 15. Prior to the implementation of the most recent GRC, the ECAM tracked the difference between actual REC revenues during the Deferral Period and the amount of REC revenues credited to customers in base rates.Beginning February 1,2025,REC revenue is removed APPLICATION OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER Page 6 from the ECAM calculation and included in the new RRA mechanism.The ECAM includes a true- up for January 2025 actual REC revenue,which was $22 thousand higher than the amount credited to customers in base rates on an Idaho-allocated basis. 16. In accordance with Order No. 33954, wind availability liquidated damages were credited to customers in the amount of$265 thousand. 17. Interest is accrued on the uncollected balance at the Commission-approved interest rate for customer deposits. During the Deferral Period the interest rate was 5.0 percent. Interest of $3.5 million was added to the ECAM balance. 18. As shown in Table 2 of Mr. Jack Painter's testimony, the Company is proposing to collect$49.3 million, including $4.1 million from the 2025 ECAM deferral (inclusive of interest), plus$45.2 million remaining balance from prior ECAM filing.The Company estimates the ECAM balance will be reduced by $14.3 million from Schedule 94 revenue collections accrued from January 1, 2026 through May 31, 2026, resulting in an estimated ECAM balance of$35.1 million to be collected. With the addition of carrying charges during the rate effective period of June 1, 2026 through May 31,2027,the total estimated recovery by the Company through the ECAM over the rate effective period is $35.7 million which includes $0.6 million in interest accrued during the collection period. 19. As described in Mr. Elder's testimony, the Company proposes Schedule 94 rates of 1.064, 1.044, and 1.009 cents per kWh for secondary, primary, and transmission delivery service voltages, respectively. This will result in an average decrease of 0.6 percent for standard tariff customers, while the Schedule 400 customer will see a decrease of 1.1 percent. This results in an overall average decrease of 0.7 percent for all Idaho customers. APPLICATION OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER Page 7 IL Renewable Energy Credit Revenue Adjustment(RRA) -Schedule 98 BACKGROUND OF RRA 20. In the 2024 Rate Case, the Company proposed to remove REC revenue from the annual ECAM calculation and instead implement a new mechanism, the RRA, to pass back REC revenue to customers separately from the ECAM.As part of this proposed change, REC revenues that were previously included in base rates were removed and to be returned to Idaho customers through the newly established RRA. The Company also proposed a new voluntary REC Option Program, Schedule 74, allowing customers to elect to have RECs retired on their behalf. PROPOSED RRA RATES 25. In support of the proposed RRA rates under Schedule 98 included in this Application, Rocky Mountain Power has filed the testimony and exhibits of Company witnesses Mr. Nicolas L. Highsmith and Mr. Elder. Mr. Highsmith's testimony describes the newly implemented RRA, or Schedule 98,which was approved in the Company's 2024 Rate Case16 and explains the calculation of the balance proposed for refund in this docket. Mr. Elder's testimony describes the proposed Schedule 98 rates. 21. As described in Mr.Highsmith's testimony,the Company is requesting to return the $1.4 million balance to Idaho customers over a one-year period,beginning June 1, 2026,pursuant to Schedule 98. This is comprised of the 2026 RRA Deferral Balance of$1.3 million and interest of$32 thousand. 22. As described in Mr. Elder's testimony, the Company's proposes Schedule 98 rates will result in an average decrease of 0.6 percent for standard tariff customers, while there will be 16 In the Matter of the Application of Rocky Mountain Power for Authority to Increase its Rates and Charges in Idaho and Approval of Proposed Electric Service Schedules and Regulations, Case No.PAC-E-24-04. APPLICATION OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER Page 8 no change for the Schedule 400 customer.This results in an overall average decrease of 0.4 percent for all Idaho customers. 23. Mr. Highsmith's testimony also describes how the RRA was calculated, which includes: the allocation of calendar year 2025 REC revenues,using actual 2025 System Generation ("SG") and System Energy ("SE") allocation factors; the calendar year 2025 actual Schedule 98 surcredit/surcharges included in the period, which was zero in this initial filing period; and the carrying charges that were applied to the 2025 RBA deferral balance.

POWERING YOUR GREATNESS For information, contact: News Media Hotline 801-220-5018 Annual energy cost adjustment Lower fuel costs to reduce bills for Idaho customers of Rocky Mountain Power BOISE, Idaho (April 2, 2026) — Rocky Mountain Power's costs for fuel and wholesale electricity decreased in 2025, producing a modest decrease in customer bills for the coming year. As part of an annual review of these costs,the company requested an average 0.6%decrease for Idaho residential customers.A typical residential customer using 836 kilowatt-hours per month would see a decrease of $0.61 per month on their electricity bill. The company proposes the decrease to take effect June 1, 2025, subject to review by the Idaho Public Utilities Commission. "The company is working hard to maintain our position as a low-cost energy provider," said Tim Solomon, director, Commercial Accounts and Community Relations for Rocky Mountain Power. "The annual adjustment process makes sure Rocky Mountain Power customers always pay a fair price for the energy they need. A winter 2025 survey of prices nationally shows a typical residential electric bill in Idaho at$119 per month, while the national average is $179." For details,visit Residential customer price comparison The annual energy cost adjustment mechanism is designed to track the difference between the company's actual expenses for fuel and electricity purchased from the wholesale market, against the amount being collected from customers through current rates.The costs are tracked in a separate account called the Energy Cost Adjustment Mechanism and adjusted each year. If costs are higher than the level included in base rates, a surcharge is applied to customer bills as a separate line item. If costs are lower, a credit is applied. Testimony supporting the company's application shows fuel supply constraints and price volatility in previous years stabilized in 2025, resulting in more normal output from low-cost thermal generating plants. Lower natural gas costs,together with lower wholesale market prices, moderated the cost of supplying electric service to Idaho customers in 2025. Pending commission approval, the changes would take effect June 1, 2026, with the following impact on each rate schedule: Residential Schedule 1—0.6%decrease Residential Schedule 36—0.6%decrease General Service Schedule 6—0.7% decrease General Service Schedule 9—0.8% decrease Irrigation Service Schedule 10—0.5%decrease General Service Schedule 23—0.7%decrease General Service Schedule 35—0.7%decrease Public Street Lighting—0.2%decrease Tariff Contract 400—1.1%decrease The public will have an opportunity to comment on the proposal as the commission studies the company's request.The commission must approve the proposed changes before they can take effect.A copy of the company's application is available for public review on the commission's website, www.puc.idaho.gov, under Case No. PAC-E-26-05.

Rocky Mountain Power is part of PacifiCorp, one of the lowest-cost electricity providers in the United States, with 2 million customers in six western states. For more information,visit: www.rockymountainpower.net Annual energy cost adjustment Proposed net price decrease Rocky Mountain Power requests recovery of power costs On April 1, 2026, Rocky Mountain Power asked the Idaho Public Utilities Commission to approve the incremental energy-related costs for 2025 of$35.7 million, over two years. On annual basis,this is a net decrease of$2.7 million from the revenues currently collected through the energy cost adjustment mechanism. The energy cost adjustment mechanism is designed to track the difference between the company's actual expenses for fuel and electricity purchased from the wholesale market, against the amount being collected from customers through current rates. Pending commission approval, the decrease would take effect June 1, 2026. All customer classes will see a net decrease to their rates due to several factors. The main drivers of decreased costs in 2025 were an increased coal fuel supply, and lower natural gas and purchased power market prices, down from their 2023 peaks. A typical residential customer using 836 kilowatt-hours per month would see a decrease of approximately $0.61 a month on their electricity bill. The following is a summary of the percentage changes by customer class: • Residential Schedule 1 —0.6%decrease • General Service Schedule 23—0.7%decrease • Residential Schedule 36—0.6%decrease • General Service Schedule 35— 0.7% decrease • General Service Schedule 6— 0.7% decrease • Public Street Lighting—0.2%decrease • General Service Schedule 9— 0.8%decrease • Tariff Contract 400— 1.1%decrease • Irrigation Service Schedule 10—0.5%decrease Rocky Mountain Power will continue to work to keep costs as low as possible.

PAC-E-26-05 April 2026 I Q. Please state your name,business address,and present position with PacifiCorp 2 d/b/a Rocky Mountain Power("Rocky Mountain Power" or the "Company"). 3 A. My name is Jack Painter and my business address is 825 NE Multnomah Street, 4 Suite 600, Portland, Oregon 97232. My title is Net Power Cost Adviser. 5 I. QUALIFICATIONS 6 Q. Please describe your education and professional experience. 7 A. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Administration with a Finance 8 major from Washington State University in 2007. I have been employed by 9 PacifiCorp since 2008 and have held positions in the regulation and jurisdictional 10 loads departments. I joined the regulatory net power costs ("NPC") group in 2019 11 and assumed my current role as a Net Power Cost Adviser in 2024. 12 Q. Have you testified in previous regulatory proceedings? 13 A. Yes. I have previously provided testimony to the public utility commissions in 14 Idaho, Utah,Wyoming, Oregon,Washington, and California. 15 II. PURPOSE OF TESTIMONY 16 Q. What is the purpose of your testimony in this proceeding? 17 A. My testimony presents and supports the Company's calculation of the Energy Cost 18 Adjustment Mechanism (`SCAM") balancing account for the 12-month period of 19 January 1,2025 through December 31,2025 ("Deferral Period").More specifically, 20 1 provide the following: 21 • A summary of the ECAM calculation, including changes made to comply 22 with Idaho Public Utility Commission("Commission") orders; 23 • Details supporting the addition of approximately$4.1 million to the deferral Painter, Di 1 Rocky Mountain Power I balance, including $0.5 million customers' share of ECAM costs, a $1.0 2 million increase in renewable energy production tax credits ("PTCs"), $1.3 3 million in reasonable energy price ("REP") qualified facility ("QF") costs, 4 a credit of$265 thousand for wind availability liquidated damages, a $22 5 thousand renewable energy credit ("REC") revenue differential, and $3.5 6 million interest accrued during the Deferral Period; and 7 • Discussion of the main differences between adjusted actual NPC for 8 calendar years 2025 and 2024. 9 III. SUMMARY OF THE ECAM DEFERRAL CALCULATION 10 Q. Please briefly describe the Company's ECAM authorized by the Commission. 11 A. The ECAM tracks deviations between Actual NPC and Base NPC. When there is a 12 difference between these two amounts, 90 percent of the difference is deferred for 13 later recovery or return to customers.'In addition to tracking the difference between 14 Actual and Base NPC, the ECAM also tracks other items including PTCs, the 15 Reasonable Energy Price QF adjustment,wind availability liquidated damages,the 16 load change adjustment rate ("LCAR"), and wheeling revenues. The purpose for 17 tracking these items is to true-up base rates to actuals. The balance that accumulates 18 over a deferral period is then passed on to customers as a rate surcharge or credit. 19 Schedule 94, described in Company witness Mr.Kenneth Lee Elder Jr.'s testimony, 20 appears as a separate line item on customers'bills and either collects from or credits 21 to customers the balance of deferred costs. Schedule 94 is adjusted as needed in the 22 Company's annual ECAM filings. 'See Order No. 30904 in Case No.PAC-E-08-08 and Order No. 33440 in Case No.PAC-E-15-09. Painter, Di 2 Rocky Mountain Power I The Company is required to file an application with the Commission 2 annually by April I" to request approval of the deferral amount and the new 3 Schedule 94 rates to become effective June 1. 4 Q. Are there any changes to the ECAM calculation? 5 A. Yes.The rates for Base NPC,PTCs, and the LCAR were updated in the Company's 6 last general rate case ("GRC") Case No. PAC-E-24-04, which became effective 7 February 1,2025. The GRC also approved two other notable changes;the inclusion 8 of wheeling revenues and the removal of RECs which are now tracked in a new 9 REC Revenue Adjustment ("RRA") mechanism and related Electric Service 10 Schedule No. 98. Company witness Mr. Nicholas L. Highsmith provides the 11 calculation for the RRA and Mr. Elder provides the proposed Schedule 98 rates. 12 IV. ECAM DEFERRAL CALCULATION 13 Q. Please describe the calculation of the ECAM deferral included in this filing. 14 A. Table 1 below summarizes the total ECAM deferral and provides a breakdown of 15 the individual components of the ECAM. For a detailed monthly calculation of the 16 ECAM deferral,please refer to Exhibit No. 1. Painter, Di 3 Rocky Mountain Power I Table 1 —Summary of ECAM Deferral Calendar Year 2025 ECAM Deferral NPC Differential $ 2, 631, 661 EITF 04-6 Adjustment 84, 392 LCAR (2, 146, 378) Wheeling Revenues 34, 954 Total Deferral Before Sharing $ 604, 629 Sharing Band 900 Customer Reponsibility $ 544 , 166 Production Tax Credits $ (1, 047, 075) REP QF Adjustment 1, 308, 827 Wind Liquidated Damages (265, 256) REC Deferral 21, 598 Interest on Deferral 3, 522, 536 Annual Deferral (Jan - Dec 2025) $ 4, 084, 796 2 The first section of Table 1 above summarizes the Idaho-allocated share of 3 those items for which Idaho customers and the Company share responsibility, 4 including: NPC differential, Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") 04-6 5 adjustment,the LCAR costs,and wheeling revenues. The second section calculates 6 the 90 percent customers' share of these items. Finally, the last section adds the 7 following items that are either refunded or collected in full(i.e., 100 percent):PTCs, 8 REP QF costs, wind availability liquidated damages, REC revenues, and interest 9 on the deferral. The total of these items represents the ECAM deferral. 10 Q. Based on your calculations, what is the balance expected to be in the ECAM I I deferral account as of June 1, 2026? 12 A. Table 2 below provides a summary of the ECAM balancing account activity starting 13 with the December 31, 2024 ECAM deferral balance of$88.6 million approved in 14 Case No. PAC-E-25-04. By June 1, 2026, the projected balance in the ECAM Painter, Di 4 Rocky Mountain Power I deferral account will be approximately $35.1 million. During the Deferral Period, 2 approximately $4.1 million is added to the balance from the annual deferral and 3 interest,which is offset by$43.4 million of ECAM revenue collections through the 4 Deferral Period, and an estimated collection of $14.3 million of Schedule 94 5 revenues, net of interest, between January 2026 and May 2026. 6 Q. Has the Company made any changes to Table 2? 7 A. Yes. The Company has calculated the estimated impact of carrying charges during 8 the rate effective period of June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2027 and has included 9 them in Table 2 below. The total estimated recovery by the Company through the 10 ECAM over the rate effective period is $35.7 million which includes the estimated 11 balance of$35.1 million on June 1, 2026 discussed above plus $654 thousand in 12 interest accrued during the collection period. 13 Q. Why is the Company incorporating carrying charges into its rate calculation 14 for the two-year amortization period? 15 A. In Case No. PAC-E-25-04, the Commission authorized the Company to include 16 interest during the rate effective period as part of its rate calculation. The Company 17 is seeking the same treatment in this ECAM because the current ECAM balance 18 still amortizes the previous ECAM balance. The ECAM balance continues to 19 accrue interest during the collection period. Including carrying charges into the rate 20 calculation ensures that the rates are designed to collect the entire ECAM balance, 21 including interest, by the end of the collection period. Not only does including 22 interest as part of its rate calculation create a more accurate rate for customers, it 23 also lowers carrying charges that customers incur. Company witness Mr. Elder will 24 further explain Schedule 94 rates and the rate collection period.

Please describe the ECAM calculations in Exhibit No. 1. 3 A. The ECAM deferral is calculated monthly by comparing Idaho-allocated Actual 4 NPC to the Base NPC collected in rates and then deferring the differences into an 5 ECAM balancing account. Exhibit No. 1 includes details of the ECAM calculation. 6 Additionally, I have also provided confidential work papers supporting Exhibit 7 No. 1. 8 Q. How are the Base NPC and Actual NPC calculated? 9 A. Exhibit No. 1 provides details of the ECAM calculation. The monthly Base NPC 10 collected in rates, as set forth in line 6 of Exhibit No. 1, is calculated by taking the 11 dollar-per-megawatt-hour ("$/MWh") Base NPC rate multiplied by actual Idaho 12 retail sales.Actual Idaho NPC, as set forth in line 11 of Exhibit No. 1, is calculated 13 by dividing the monthly total-Company Actual NPC in the Deferral Period by the 14 actual monthly system megawatt-hours ("MWh") in the Deferral Period. To 15 calculate Actual Idaho NPC, the total Company Actual NPC $/MWh basis is then Painter, Di 6 Rocky Mountain Power I multiplied by Idaho actual monthly MWh. 2 Q. Please describe how the NPC deferral is calculated. 3 A. The deferral is calculated monthly by subtracting the Base NPC collected in rates 4 from the Actual Idaho NPC. For the Deferral Period,the NPC differential was $2.6 5 million before applying the 90/10 percent sharing band. 6 Q. What costs are included in the NPC differential for deferral? 7 A. The NPC differential for deferral captures all components of NPC as defined in the 8 Company's general rate case proceedings and modeled by the Company's 9 production dispatch model. Specifically, Base NPC and Actual NPC include 10 amounts booked to the following Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 11 ("FERC") accounts: 12 Account 447— Sales for resale; excluding on-system wholesale sales and 13 other revenues that are not modeled in GRID 14 Account 501 — Fuel, steam generation; excluding fuel handling, start-up 15 fuel (gas and diesel fuel, residual disposal), and other costs 16 that are not modeled in GRID 17 Account 503 — Steam from other sources 18 Account 509 - Allowances 19 Account 547— Fuel, other generation 20 Account 555 — Purchased power; excluding the Bonneville Power 21 Administration ("BPA") residential exchange credit pass- 22 through if applicable 23 Account 565 — Transmission of electricity by others Painter, Di 7 Rocky Mountain Power I Q. Are adjustments made to the Actual NPC before comparing them to Base 2 NPC? 3 A. Yes. The Company adjusts Actual NPC to reflect the ratemaking treatment of 4 several items, including: 5 • out-of-period accounting entries booked in the Deferral Period that 6 relate to operations before implementation of the ECAM on July 1, 7 2009; 8 • out-of-period accounting entries for wheeling revenues booked in the 9 Deferral Period that relate to operations before the inclusion of wheeling 10 revenues in the ECAM on February 1, 2025; 11 • revenue from a contract related to the Leaning Juniper wind resource; 12 • revenue for wheeling expense reimbursement from Orchard Wind QF; 13 • costs for situs-assigned resources/programs in Idaho, Oregon,Utah,and 14 California; 15 • coal inventory adjustments to reflect coal costs in the correct period; 16 • legal fees related to fines and citations included in the cost of coal; 17 • compliance costs for Washington greenhouse gas emissions related to 18 the Company's generation at its Chehalis natural gas generating plant; 19 • wind availability liquidated damages; and 20 • reasonable energy price adjustments to QFs. 21 Q. Why is the July 1, 2009, cutoff used to determine out-of-period entries? 22 A. Since the ECAM took effect, customers' rates have been adjusted to recover 23 essentially all of the Company's actual NPC, excluding any differences due to the 24 90/10 percent sharing band. Consequently, any accounting entries made during the Painter, Di 8 Rocky Mountain Power I current Deferral Period that relate to any operating period since the ECAM took 2 effect should be reflected in customer rates, whether they increase or decrease 3 Actual NPC. However, accounting entries related to operating periods before the 4 inception of the ECAM should not impact the ECAM deferral. 5 Q. Should the above principle apply to wheeling revenues with their inclusion in 6 the ECAM? 7 A. Yes. Accounting entries for wheeling revenues prior to February 1, 2025 are not 8 included in the ECAM. 9 Q. In addition to comparing Actual NPC to Base NPC, what other components 10 are included in the ECAM? 11 A. The ECAM calculation includes seven additional components: (i)an adjustment for 12 deferred costs associated with coal mine stripping activities recorded under the 13 Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") EITF 04-6; (ii) the LCAR 14 adjustment; (iii) a true-up of PTCs; (iv) a true-up of Idaho allocated wheeling 15 revenues; (v)wind availability liquidated damages; (vi) a true-up of REC revenues 16 as authorized in Order No. 32196; and (vii) an adjustment for the situs-assigned 17 portion of REP costs. 18 Q. How is the adjustment for accounting pronouncement EITF 04-6 included in 19 the ECAM? 20 A. Line 13 of Exhibit No. 1 calculates coal stripping costs,reflecting Idaho's allocated 21 differences between the coal stripping costs incurred by the Company during 22 excavation, as recorded on the Company's books pursuant to the guidance of the 23 accounting pronouncement EITF 04-6, and the amortization of the coal stripping 24 costs as approved by the Commission in Case No. PAC-E-09-08, Order No. 30987. 25 During the Deferral Period, the total EITF 04-6 coal stripping deferral adjustment Painter, Di 9 Rocky Mountain Power I results in a $84 thousand increase to the ECAM deferral balance, before the 2 application of the 90/10 percent sharing band. 3 Q. Please describe the LCAR adjustment. 4 A. The calculation of the LCAR adjustment is a symmetrical adjustment for over- or 5 under-collection of the energy-related portion of the Company's embedded revenue 6 requirement for production facilities,as specified in Case No. GNR-E-10-03,Order 7 No. 32206. This adjustment accounts for variances in Idaho load that cause the 8 Company to collect more or less of these production-related costs. The LCAR rate 9 of$8.74/MWh is used for January 2025 and the new LCAR rate effective February 10 1, 2025 and the remainder of the Deferral Period is $6.49/MWh. 11 Q. How is the LCAR adjustment calculated and what impact does it have on the 12 Deferral Period? 13 A. The LCAR adjustment assumes that the actual production-related costs of the 14 LCAR are equivalent to the base amount on line 14 of Exhibit No. 1. The actual 15 production-related costs are then compared to the LCAR revenue collection in 16 rates, calculated by multiplying the LCAR rate by the actual Idaho retail sales on 17 line 17 of Exhibit No. 1. The LCAR adjustment, which is shown on line 18 of 18 Exhibit No. 1, is the difference between the actual production-related costs and the 19 LCAR revenue. This adjustment results in a $2.1 million decrease to the ECAM 20 deferral balance before application of the 90/10 percent sharing band. 21 Q. How is the wheeling revenue deferral calculated and what impact does it have 22 on the Deferral Period? 23 A. The wheeling revenue deferral, on line 23 of Exhibit No. 1, is calculated by 24 comparing the actual Idaho-allocated wheeling revenue to the wheeling revenue 25 credit customers receive through base rates. The wheeling revenue credit in base Painter, Di 10 Rocky Mountain Power I rates is calculated by multiplying the approved rate of$2.97/MWh by Idaho retail 2 sales. The difference results in a $35 thousand increase to the ECAM deferral. 3 Q. Please explain the sharing band ratio between the Company and customers in 4 the ECAM. 5 A. The ECAM includes a sharing band with a symmetrical sharing ratio in which 6 customers either pay or receive 90 percent of the ECAM deferral balance, and the 7 Company is responsible for the remaining 10 percent. Line 26 of Exhibit No. 1 8 represents the customers' 90 percent share of the monthly deferral shown on line 9 25 of Exhibit No. 1. For the Deferral Period, the customers' share of the deferred 10 balance is $544 thousand. The remaining balance of$60 thousand associated with 11 the Company's 10 percent share is not included in the deferral balance as it is not 12 recoverable from customers. 13 Q. What is the amount of the PTC true-up in the current filing? 14 A. The PTC Deferral,on line 32 of Exhibit No. 1,is calculated by comparing the actual 15 Idaho-allocated PTC to the PTC credit customers receive through base rates. The 16 PTC credit in base rates is calculated by multiplying the approved PTC rate of 17 $4.16/MWh by Idaho retail sales for January 2025 and the new PTC rate effective 18 February 1, 2025 and the remainder of the Deferral Period is $4.31 per MWh. The 19 difference results in a$1.0 million decrease to the ECAM deferral. 20 Q. Did the Company include the PTC correction in this ECAM filing as ordered 21 by the Commission in Case No. PAC-E-25-04? 22 A. Yes. The Company reduced the ECAM deferral by$52,243 for the PTC correction 23 from the prior ECAM which can be found on line 31 of Exhibit No. 1. 24 Q. Please explain the REP QFAdjustment. 25 A. As set forth in the 2020 Inter-Jurisdictional Allocation Protocol ("2020 Protocol"): Painter, Di 11 Rocky Mountain Power I "For the Interim Period, the energy output of New QF PPAs will be dynamically 2 allocated per this agreement using the SG Factor, priced at a forecasted reasonable 3 energy price defined below, and any cost of a New QF PPA above the forecasted 4 reasonable energy price will be situs assigned to and allocated to the State of 5 Origin."2 The Idaho situs-assigned cost,on line 33 of Exhibit No. 1,is$1.3 million. 6 Q. Please explain the wind availability liquidated damages credit. 7 A. Order No. 33954 in Case No. PAC-E-17-06 provides that"the Stipulation requires 8 the Company to pass on to ratepayers all liquidated damages it receives from 9 equipment suppliers in case the repowered equipment does not meet specified 10 availability, performance, or installation schedule requirements." The Company 11 first removes the wind availability liquidated damages from total-Company NPC 12 and then allocates them to customers using the System Generation ("SG") 13 allocation factor outside of the 90/10 percent sharing band. The wind availability 14 liquidated damages credited to customers in the ECAM is$265 thousand,as shown 15 on line 34 of Exhibit No. 1. 16 Q. What is the amount of REC revenue adjustment in the current filing? 17 A. REC revenues have been discontinued in the ECAM beginning February 1, 2025. 18 The REC revenue adjustment shown on line 39 of Exhibit No. 1 is calculated as the 19 REC revenue credit customers received through base rates in January 2025.Actual 20 Idaho-allocated REC revenues for calendar year 2025 will be credited to customers 21 in new Schedule 98 as discussed by Company witness Mr. Highsmith. The REC 22 revenue credit in base rates is calculated by multiplying the approved REC revenue 23 rate of $0.07/MWh by Idaho retail sales. The REC revenue adjustment is a $22 2 In the Matter of the Application for Approval of the 2020 PacifiCorp-Interjurisdictional Allocation Protocol, Case No.PAC-E-19-20,Order No.34640 at§4.4.2.1,31 (April 22,2020). Painter, Di 12 Rocky Mountain Power I thousand increase to the ECAM deferral. 2 Q. What is the total ECAM deferred balance calculated in Exhibit No. 1? 3 A. The total ECAM deferred balance as of December 31, 2025, is $562 thousand, 4 shown on line 40 of Exhibit No. 1,plus$3.5 million of interest on line 49 of Exhibit 5 No. 1, for a total deferral of$4.1 million. 6 Q. Does the calculation of the ECAM deferral in this application comply with the 7 parameters of the Idaho ECAM as approved by the Commission? 8 A. Yes,therefore the Company recommends that the Commission approve the ECAM 9 application for recovery of the $4.1 million in prudently incurred ECAM costs. 10 V. DIFFERENCES IN NPC 11 Q. What is the Actual NPC $/MWh variance between the current Deferral Period 12 and calendar year 2024? 13 A. From a$/MWh perspective,Actual NPC for the Deferral Period was $34.37/MWh 14 while calendar year 2024 Actual NPC was$40.86/MWh,a decrease of$6.49/MWh 15 or 15.9 percent. Table 3 below displays adjusted Actual NPC for 2025 and 2024 16 with a high-level summary of the differences,by cost category, on a total-company 17 basis.

What are the main drivers of decreased NPC from 2024 to 2025? 3 A. For 2025, the main drivers of decreased NPC were increased coal fuel supply and 4 lower natural gas market prices and power market prices from their 2023 peaks. 5 Q. What was the change in output for the Company's coal generating facilities in 6 2025? 7 A. In 2025, the Company's coal fuel supply stabilized after experiencing constraints 8 and force majeure claims from 2022-2024.Coal generating facilities increased their 9 output from approximately 18 thousand gigawatt-hours ("GWh") in 2024 to 23 10 thousand GWh in 2025 as shown in Table 3 above leading to reductions in 11 purchased power volumes and natural gas generation output. Painter, Di 14 Rocky Mountain Power I Q. How did lower market power prices decrease NPC in 2025? 2 A. The average price of market purchases decreased from $115/MWh in 2024 to 3 $80/MWh in 2025. When, combined with the increase in coal generation output 4 above, market purchase volumes decreased by 2,716 GWh from 2024 to 2025. The 5 overall impact to 2025 NPC was a reduction of$509 million in market purchase 6 costs. 7 VI. CONCLUSION 8 Q. Please summarize your testimony. 9 A. The ECAM deferral of$4.1 million for the Deferral Period, including interest,was 10 accurately calculated in compliance with previous Commission orders. Therefore, 11 I respectfully request that the Commission approve this application as filed with 12 rates effective June 1, 2026. 13 Q. Does this conclude your direct testimony? 14 A. Yes.

Please state your name, business address, and present position with 2 PacifiCorp, d/b/a Rocky Mountain Power ("Rocky Mountain Power" or the 3 "Company"). 4 A. My name is Nicholas L. Highsmith, and my business address is 1407 W. North 5 Temple, Suite 330, Salt Lake City, Utah 84116. I am currently employed as the 6 Revenue Requirement Manager. 7 I. QUALIFICATIONS 8 Q. Please describe your education and professional background. 9 A. I hold a Master of Business Administration with an emphasis in Finance and a 10 Bachelor of Science degree in Finance from Weber State University. In addition to 11 my formal education, I have also attended several utility accounting, ratemaking, 12 and leadership seminars and courses. I have been employed with PacifiCorp since 13 July 2013. My experience includes various positions with regulation and finance. 14 Q. What are your current responsibilities as Revenue Requirement Manager? 15 A. My primary responsibilities include overseeing the calculation of PacifiCorp's 16 revenue requirement and the preparation of various regulatory filings in Utah, 17 Idaho, and Wyoming. I am also responsible for the calculation and reporting of 18 PacifiCorp's regulated earnings and the application of the inter jurisdictional cost 19 allocation methodologies. 20 Q. Have you testified in previous proceedings? 21 A. Yes.I have testified in multiple proceedings before the Public Service Commissions 22 of Wyoming and Utah. Highsmith, Di 1 Rocky Mountain Power 23 II. PURPOSE AND SUMMARY OF TESTIMONY 24 Q. What is the purpose of your testimony? 25 A. My testimony discusses the newly implemented Renewable Energy Credit("REC") 26 Revenue Adjustment ("RRA"), or Schedule 98, that was approved in the 27 Company's most recent General Rate Case' ("GRC") and explains the calculation 28 of the balance proposed for refund in this docket. Specifically, the Company is 29 requesting to return the $1.4 million balance to Idaho customers over a one-year 30 period beginning June 1, 2025, pursuant to Schedule 98. My testimony provides 31 details on how these numbers were calculated, including: 32 • The allocation of calendar year 2025 REC revenues using actual 2025 System 33 Generation("SG") and System Energy ("SE") allocation factors; 34 • The calendar year 2025 actual Schedule 98 surcredit/surcharges included for 35 the period, which in this initial filing is zero; and 36 • The carrying charges that were applied to the 2025 RBA deferral balance. 37 Q. Please provide a brief summary of how the RRA was established. 38 A. Prior to the effective date of the GRC, REC revenues were returned to customers 39 primarily through a revenue requirement credit embedded in base rates, with any 40 differences reconciled annually through the Energy Cost Adjustment Mechanism 41 ("ECAM"). This treatment changed in the GRC, when the Company proposed a 42 voluntary REC Option Program, Schedule 74, allowing customers to elect to have 43 RECs retired on their behalf. As part of this change, REC revenues previously 44 included in base rates were removed to be returned to Idaho customers through the ' Case No.PAC-E-24-04. Highsmith, Di 2 Rocky Mountain Power 45 newly established RRA. Together, these two new tariffs provide the framework 46 necessary for effective implementation of the voluntary REC option. 47 Q. Is the move to the RRA necessary? 48 A. Yes.An important aspect of the REC Option Program is that customers who enroll 49 not receive any credits for the sales of RECs in their rates. Embedding a forecast of 50 REC revenue into base rates makes it difficult to isolate and remove the impact of 51 REC revenues from REC Option customers. Additionally, it is not possible to 52 remove the impact of the REC revenue true-up in the ECAM for those customers 53 participating in the REC Option Program. Therefore, the Company determined a 54 separate RRA to be the best option to lessen the administrative burden and customer 55 confusion that may result from the new REC option program. 56 Q. Is this process new for the RRA? 57 A. No. The RRA will operate in a similar manner as the ECAM in how it captures and 58 balances actual costs, or in this case, revenues. The key difference is that REC 59 revenues are not included in base rates, so the full REC revenue balance is returned 60 to customers through the RRA. Notably, the ECAM previously included a similar 61 true-up for REC revenues prior to the implementation of the REC option tariff 62 approved in the GRC. 63 Q. Can you explain how the RRA is calculated? 64 A. The RRA serves as a balancing account for REC revenues and provides customers 65 with actual REC revenue credits through a two-step process. First, the Company 66 uses accounting actuals to determine the Idaho-allocated REC revenues to be 67 refunded to customers. In this docket, actual 2025 REC revenues will be refunded. Highsmith, Di 3 Rocky Mountain Power 68 These revenues are then used to calculate a volumetric sur-credit under Schedule 69 98, as further supported by Company witness Mr. Kenneth Lee Elder, Jr. Second, 70 any differences between projected and actual REC revenues, including applicable 71 carrying charges, will be deferred and trued up in the subsequent RRA filing. 72 Q. Please confirm the deferral period for Company's 2026 RRA filing. 73 A. The deferral period for this 2026 RRA filing is January 1, 2025, through 74 December 31, 2025. 75 Q. Please describe how your Exhibit No. 2 is organized. 76 A. Exhibit No. 2 provides the detailed calculation of the $1.4 million total deferral 77 balance which is comprised of actual Idaho-allocated REC sales of$1.3 million and 78 interest of$32 thousand. This exhibit shows: the monthly REC revenue deferral 79 calculation for calendar year 2025; the calculation of Idaho-allocated actual 2025 80 REC revenues after applying the reallocation of revenue for renewable portfolio 81 standard ("RPS") eligibility (Page 2.1); and the calculation of the SE and SG 82 allocation factors used on page 1.1 as the basis to allocate REC revenue to Idaho 83 (Page 2.2).These allocation factors are consistent with those used in the Company's 84 energy balancing account filing. 85 III. CALCULATION OF THE 2026 RRA DEFERRAL BALANCE 86 Q. Please describe how the 2026 RRA Deferral Balance was calculated. 87 A. The$1.3 million 2026 RRA Deferral Balance represents the difference between the 88 actual REC revenue booked by the Company during calendar 2025 and the amount 89 of REC revenue set in base rates, which in this filing is zero. This balance accrued 90 carrying charges during the deferral period (calendar year 2025). Each item is Highsmith, Di 4 Rocky Mountain Power 91 described below. 92 Q. How does the Company determine the REC revenue beginning deferred 93 balance? 94 A. Given this is the Company's first RRA filing,no beginning deferral balance exists. 95 However, the ending balance of this filing will become the beginning balance for 96 the 2027 RRA filing, which will true up all calendar year 2026 balances. 97 Q. Please describe how the 2025 Idaho allocated booked REC revenue was 98 calculated. 99 A. During calendar year 2025,the Company booked$21.8 million from REC sales on 100 a total-Company basis. Idaho's allocated share of REC revenue is determined using 101 the SG factor, including a reallocation of revenue initially allocated system wide to 102 reflect compliance with state RPSs.Revenue from the sale of RECs associated with 103 those not eligible for RPS compliance are allocated on an SG factor. The resulting 104 Idaho-allocated amount of REC revenue during 2025 was $1.9 million, as shown 105 in Exhibit No. 2 on page 2.1. 106 Q. Are any adjustments applied to the 2025 Idaho allocated REC revenues? 107 A. Yes.P4 Production entered into an agreement to retire rather than sell their allocated 108 share of RECs generated from Company resources.This treatment was approved in 109 Case No. PAC-E-21-08. To implement this, the Company uses confidential, 110 customer-specific load data to determine the portion of the Idaho SG factor 111 attributable to P4 Production. For the 2026 ECAM, this portion is approximately 112 31.5% of the overall Idaho SG factor. Because P4's RECs were retired, not sold, 113 the associated revenues should not be refunded to Idaho customers. Therefore, the Highsmith, Di 5 Rocky Mountain Power 114 Company applies a decrement to total REC revenues to remove the value of those 115 retired RECs from the amount returned to customers. This reduces the Idaho- 116 allocate REC revenue from $1.9 million to $1.3 million, and is showing in Exhibit 117 No. 2. 118 Q. How was the amount of actual Schedule 98 surcredits or surcharges 119 determined? 120 A. As previously mentioned, the Company introduced a new REC Option program in 121 the GRC, under which REC revenues are removed from base rates and instead 122 refunded through the RRA mechanism. Because this is the Company's first RRA 123 filing, there are no surcredits or surcharges included in Idaho rates for the 2025 124 deferral period. 125 Q. Did you apply carrying charges to the 2026 RRA Deferral Balance in this 126 filing? 127 A. Yes.Approximately $32 thousand in carrying charge credits were applied to arrive 128 at the total $1.4 million in 2026 RRA deferral balance. The Commission's most 129 recently approved interest rate of 5.00 percent in Order No. 36390. 130 Q. What is the status of the new REC Tariff Option program? 131 A. The first year of the REC Tariff Option program was calendar year 2026, however 132 the Company did not receive any enrollments. Enrollment for the calendar year 133 2027 program year is open now and will close October 1, 2026. 134 Q. Can you please describe the reporting requirements outlined in the GRC for 135 future reporting regarding the REC Option Program? 136 A. Yes. There were two formal reporting requirements established in the GRC. First, Highsmith, Di 6 Rocky Mountain Power 137 in Paragraph 16 of the settlement stipulation of the GRC, the Company agreed to 138 report on its annual generation from hydro, wind, solar, geothermal, biogas, and 139 biomass as a percentage of total system generation. Second, as identified in the 140 Direct Testimony of Company witness Craig M. Eller of the GRC, the Company 141 acknowledged it will provide the number of program participants for the year, 142 amount of aggregate load associated with program participants, a calculation of the 143 percentage of the program, and a REC retirement report. 144 Q. Are these reports provided within your testimony or exhibits in this filing? 145 A. No. Since the Company has not had participation in Schedule 74, no additional 146 reporting has been provided in this filing. 147 Q. Does this conclude your direct testimony? 148 A. Yes.

Please state your name,business address,and present position with PacifiCorp 2 d/b/a Rocky Mountain Power ("PacifiCorp" or "Company"). 3 A. My name is Kenneth Lee Elder, Jr. My business address is 825 NE Multnomah 4 Street,Suite 2000,Portland,Oregon 97232.My present position is Director,Pricing 5 and Tariff Policy. 6 I. QUALIFICATIONS 7 Q. Please describe your education and professional background. 8 A. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Agriculture Business from Tarleton State University 9 and a Master's Degree in Agricultural and Resource Economics from Colorado 10 State University.I have been employed by PacifiCorp since July 2016,where I have 11 managed load forecasting and load research. From 2008 through 2016, I was an 12 economist for a natural resource consulting firm. From 2004 through 2008, I was 13 an economist for the University of Alaska Fairbanks. In May 2025, I assumed my 14 current position. 15 Q. What are your responsibilities? 16 A.

I have previously filed testimony on behalf of the Company in regulatory 20 proceedings in Utah, Oregon, Wyoming and Washington. 21 Q. What is the purpose of your testimony? 22 A. The purpose of my testimony is to present (1) the Company's proposed rates to 23 recover the 2025 Energy Cost Adjustment Mechanism("ECAM")deferral balances Elder, Di 1 Rocky Mountain Power I through Electric Service Schedule No. 94, Energy Cost Adjustment ("Schedule 2 94") and (2) the Company's proposed rate spread and rates to refund the 2025 3 Renewable Energy Credits (REC) deferral balances through Electric Service 4 Schedule No. 98, REC Revenue Adjustment("Schedule 98"). 5 II. SCHEDULE NO. 94, ENERGY COST ADJUSTMENT 6 Q. What level of revenues is Schedule 94 currently designed to collect? 7 A. Schedule 94 is currently designed to collect approximately $38.4 million—$14.4 8 million for the Electric Service Schedule No. 400 ("Schedule 400") customer and 9 $24.0 million for standard tariff customers—based on Idaho loads from Case No. 10 PAC-E-24-04 ("2024 GRC"). 11 III. PROPOSED RATE CHANGE FOR SCHEDULE 94 12 Q. Please describe the Company's proposed Schedule 94 rate change in this case. 13 A. The 2026 ECAM application proposes to change Schedule 94 rates to recover 14 approximately $35.7 million from June 1, 2026 to May 31, 2027 as shown in 15 Table 2 of Company witness Mr. Jack Painter's testimony. 16 Q. Please explain the proposed Schedule 94 rate change for Tariff Contract 400. 17 A. The proposed rate for Tariff Contract 400 is the same as for standard tariff 18 customers with transmission delivery service voltage. 19 Q. What is the impact of the proposed Schedule 94 rates? 20 A. As summarized in Exhibit No. 3,these rate change proposals result in a decrease of 21 1.1 percent for Schedule 400. Standard tariff customers will see an average decrease 22 of 0.6 percent. Elder, Di 2 Rocky Mountain Power I IV. CALCULATION OF PROPOSED RATES FOR SCHEDULE 94 2 Q. How were the proposed Schedule 94 rates developed for all customers? 3 A. The proposed rates for all customers were developed in three steps. First, I 4 developed their kilowatt-hour ("kWh") consumption at the generation level by 5 multiplying their retail loads at the delivery service voltage level with the 6 corresponding line loss factors. Second, an overall average rate at the generation 7 level was developed by dividing their total collection target identified above with 8 their kWh consumption at the generation level. Finally, rates by delivery voltage 9 level were developed by multiplying the above overall average rate at the 10 generation level with the corresponding line loss factors. As a result,the Company 11 proposes Schedule 94 rates of 1.064, 1.044 and 1.009 cents per kWh for secondary, 12 primary and transmission delivery service voltages,respectively, for all customers. 13 V. SCHEDULE NO. 98, REC REVENUE ADJUSTMENT (RRA) 14 Q. What level of revenues is Schedule 98 currently designed to collect? 15 A. Schedule 98 is currently designed to refund zero revenue for the Electric Service 16 Schedule No. 400 ("Schedule 400") customer and standard tariff customers based 17 on Idaho loads from Case No. PAC-E-24-04. 18 VI. PROPOSED RATE CHANGE FOR SCHEDULE 98 19 Q. Please describe the Company's proposed Schedule 98 rate change in this case. 20 A. The 2026 RRA application proposes to change Schedule 98 rates to refund 21 approximately$1.4 million from June 1, 2026 to May 31,2027 as shown in Exhibit 22 No. 2 of Company witness Mr. Nicholas L. Highsmith's testimony. Elder, Di 3 Rocky Mountain Power I Q. Please explain the proposed Schedule 98 rate change for Tariff Contract 400. 2 A. The proposed rate for Tariff Contract 400 is zero because REC revenues are 3 excluded from Schedule 400 rates. 4 Q. Why are REC revenues excluded from Schedule 400 rates? 5 A. On March 29, 2021, PacifiCorp filed an application requesting Commission 6 approval of an agreement entered into with the sole Schedule 400 customer under 7 which the Company will retire, rather than sell, this customer's allocated share of 8 RECs generated post-2020 from system resources.' The Company discontinued 9 sale of Idaho-allocated system RECs associated with the Schedule 400 load in 2021, 10 so that the Schedule 400 customer's allocated share of system RECs could be 11 retired on its behalf. The REC revenue that Schedule 400 would otherwise have 12 been allocated from the sale of post-2020 system RECs is removed from Schedule 13 400's base rates. Schedule 400 will continue to receive REC revenue from the sale 14 of any RECs generated prior to 2021. 15 On August 11, 2021, Commission Order No. 35131 approved this 16 agreement. Based on the terms of the agreement, the Company withheld the 17 Schedule 400 customer's share of 2021 RECs from any auctions or sales.Beginning 18 on January 1, 2021, the Schedule 400 customer will no longer receive a REC 19 revenue credit for RECs generated after December 31, 2020. If the Company was 20 able to sell RECs generated prior to January 1, 2021, Schedule 400 will receive 21 credit for its share of those REC revenues. 1 In the Matter of the Joint Application Between Rocky Mountain Power and P4 Production, L.L.C. Requesting Approval of an Agreement to Retire RECs, Case No.PAC-E-21-08,Order No. 35131. Elder, Di 4 Rocky Mountain Power I Q. What is the impact of the proposed Schedule 98 rates? 2 A. As summarized in my Exhibit No. 4,these rate change proposals result in no 3 change for Schedule 400. Standard tariff customers will see an average decrease 4 of 0.6 percent. 5 VII. PROPOSED REC RATE SPREAD FOR SCHEDULE 98 6 Q. How does the Company propose to allocate the 2025 REC deferral revenue 7 across customer classes for Schedule 98? 8 A. The Company proposes to allocate the 2025 REC deferral revenue across customer 9 classes based on the cost of service factor 10 used in the 2024 general rate case, 10 Case No. PAC-E-24-04 ("2024 GRC"). The Company proposes using this 11 allocation, because RECs are produced from renewable resources, and renewable 12 resources are allocated to customer classes on cost of service factor 10. 13 Q. Did the Company make any other modifications to rate spread for Schedule 14 98? 15 A. Yes,the Company made two modifications to rate spread.First,Tariff Contract 400 16 is excluded from the rate spread. Second,the rate spread based on factor 10 for the 17 standard tariff customers is proportionally adjusted to reach the total target REC 18 revenues. 19 VIII. CALCULATION OF PROPOSED RATES FOR SCHEDULE 98 20 Q. How were the proposed Schedule 98 rates developed for all customers? 21 A. The proposed rates for all customers were developed by dividing the REC revenue 22 with the corresponding kilowatt-hour("kWh") consumption for each schedule. Elder, Di 5 Rocky Mountain Power I Q. Please describe Exhibit No. 3. 2 A. Exhibit No. 3 shows the 2023 loads used to develop rates, the line loss adjusted 3 loads,the allocation of the ECAM price change, and the percentage change by rate 4 schedule for Schedule 94. 5 Q. Please describe Exhibit No. 4. 6 A. Exhibit No.4 shows the 2023 loads used to develop rates,the allocation of the REC 7 price change, and the percentage change by rate schedule for Schedule 98. 8 Q. Please describe Exhibit No. 5. 9 A. Exhibit No. 5 contains clean and legislative copies of the proposed Electric Service 10 Schedule No. 94, Energy Cost Adjustment and the proposed Electric Service 11 Schedule No. 98, REC Revenue Adjustment.
