Washington St. Boise, Idaho 83702 Re: CaseNos. AVU-E-17-09 and AVU-G-I7-05 Dear Commissionen, I am writing to update you regrrding discussions between the ldaho Department of Water Resources (*IDWR') and Avista Corporation ("Avista ). Since early 201t, IDWR and Avista have been discussing Avista's water right claims in the Coeurd'Alene-Spokane River Basin Adjudication ("CSRBA"). The main focus of our discussions has been Avista's hydropower water rights at the three dams and power plurt at Post Falls ("Post Falls dam"). The State of Idaho has a history of disputes over hydropower water rights. The Swan Falls contnoveny of the early l9t0s involving ldaho Power's hydropower waterrights at Swan Falls dam led to the commqrcement ofthe Snake River Basin Adjudication ('SRBA') in 19E7. Litigation in the SRBA related to Idaho Power's Swan Falls water rightsdidnotconcludeuntil20l2. AmainncasonforengagingwithAvistaearlyintheCsRBAwasto avoid extended litigation over Avista's hydropower water rights, especially over the issue of subordination to existing and futurc water rights. In July of 201t, IDWR was notified of lhe Joint Applicationfor an Order Autlprizing Proposed Trasrction (5oint Application") filed with the ldaho Public Utilities Commission ('PUC) by Avista and Hydro One Limited ("Hydro One"). Thc Joint Application sought the PUC's approval of a planncd melger betwcen Avista and Hydro One pursuant to Idaho Code $ 6l-32t. Immediately, IDWR was concerned the merger would disrup the adjudication claim discussions and might impede or prevent resolution of the issues. Furdrermore, IDWR was conccmed the merger could result in a cbange in the use of water authorizsd by Avista's hydropower water rights. To ensurc that the public interest, as it pertains to Avista's use of water under its hydropower watcr rights, would not be adversely affected, IDWR moved to intervene in thc PUC proceeding. The PUC subsequcntly granted IDWR's petition to intervene. Whilc IDWR's petition to intervene was pending before the PUC, IDWR and Avista continued discussing Avista's hydropower water rights at Post Falls dam. We are pleased to inform you that IDWR and Avista reached an agreement that addrcsscs IDTTVR's conccrns. Spccifically, IDWR and Avista have Fi a :L) O 1' c,) (.no'. f)rn Z o o o Exhibit No. 14 Case Nos. AVU-E-1 7-09/AVU-G-1 7-05 B. Howard, Avista Schedule 1, Page 'l of '11 o o August 10,2018 Letter to Commissioners Page 2 reached an agreement regarding subordination of Avista's water rights consistent with the historical operations at Post Falls dam. IDWR and Avista have agreed that Avista's water right claim nos. 95-451E, 95-91 15, and 95-91 l9 shall be recommended in the CSRBA with the following subordination language: The use of water confirmed in this right shall be junior and subordinate to permits, licenses, or decrees for all uses within the State of Idaho with a priority date of, or earlier than, July 25,201E, diverted upstream from all three points of diversion for this right. The use of water confirmed in this right shall be junior and subordinate to permits, licenses, or decrees for all uses, except for permits, licenses, or decrees for irrigation storage or power purposes, within the State of Idaho with a priority date later than July 25, 201E, diverted upstr€am from all three points ofdiversion for this right. The use of water confirmed in this right shall not be subordinate to permits, license, or decrees within the State of Idaho diverted downstrram from all three points of diversion for this right. The agreemert ensur€s that the public iuterest, rs it relatcs to Avista's wrter ttse puruuant to itt water rightr, will not be adversely efTected by the proposed transaction between Avisto and Hydro One. The agreement safeguards existing and future water users from changes in historical operations, helps protect the sumrner lake level of Coeur d'Alene Lake, and supports the ongoing operations of Post Falls dam in a manner consistent with prior agreements and the Idaho Departnent of Environmental Quality 40 I Certification. A copy of the agreement between IDWR and Avista is attached to this letter. To ensure documentation of the agreement before the PUC, IDWR requests that if the PUC approves the pending transaction between Avista and Hydro One, the PUC include the agreement as an attachment or exhibit to any such order so that the resolution of this issue is documented in the order.

LEROY, ATTORNEY AT LAW, BOISE, IDAHO DOCUMENT: LEGAL OPTNION REGARDING THE APPLICATION AND INTERPRETATION OF IDAHO LAW DATE: OCTOBER 26,2018 QUESTION PRESENTED: Do the provisions of Idaho Code Section 6l-327 respecting the prevention of the transfer of electric power facilities to any out of state government or municipal corporation or subdivision thereof require the Idaho Public Utilities Commission to deny the Application of Hydro One Limited and Avista Corporation proposing the sale of Avista to Hydro One, a Canadian investor owned, publicly traded corporation, through a wholly owned subsidary, Olympus Equity, LLC, a Delaware corporation, as Avista continues to be a Washingon state corporation under the jurisdiction and regulatory control of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission? ANSWER: No. The provisions of ldaho Code Sectio\61-327 do not apply to the proposed transacfion. The words of the statute refer to states of the United States and do not prevent minority shareholding by a Canadian Province of a parent company of the Avista utility. The legislative history of the statute also demonstrates that the entities which were intended to be prohibited from owning Idaho electric power facilities were municipal public utility districts based in neighboring states, such as Washington. Because neither Hydro One nor Olympus Equity, LLC not Avista is such an entity, nor a goverrrment entity at all, the transaction complies with the requirernents for approval.

Black's Law Dictionary, 10e Edition (2014) ANALYSIS AND OPINION I. THE STATUTE AT ISSUE ln pertinent parts, Idaho Code 6l-327 provides: "Section 6l-327. ELECTRIC UTILITY PROPERTY - - ACQUISITION BY CERTAIN PUBLIC AGENCIES PROHIBfTED - - No title to or interest in any public utility property located in this state which is used in the generation, transmission, distribution or supply of electric power or energy to the public or to any portion thereof, shall be transferred or transferable to or acquired by, directly or indirectly, by and means or device whatsoever, any government or municipal corporation, quasi-municipal corporation, or governmental or political unit, subdivision or corporation, organized or existing under the laws of any other state; or any person, firm, association, corporation or organization acting as trustee, nominee, agent or representative for, or in concert or alTangement with, any such government or municipal corporation quasi-municipal corporation, or govemmental or political unit, subdivision or corporation; or any company, association, organization or corporation, organized or existing under the laws of this state or any other state, whose issued capital stock, or other evidence of ownership, membership or other interest therein, or in the properly thereof, is owned or controlled, directly or indirectly by any such government or municipal corporation, quasi-municipal corporation, or goverlmental or political unit, subdivision or corporation; or any company, association, organization or corporation, organized under the laws of any other state, not coming under or within the definition of any electric public utility or an electrical organization as contained in chapter 1, title 61, Idaho Code, and subject to the jurisdiction, regulation and control of the public utilities commission of the state of Idaho under the public utilities law ofthe state . . . . . . ". THE IPUC HISTOzuC VIEW OF THE TEXT AND STRUCTURE OF THE STATUTE ln a Cross-Appellant's Brief filed by the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (IPUC) in the 1983 Idaho Power Case, that state agency before whom this application is now pending, tracking Exhibit No. 15 Case Nos. AVU-E-1 7-09/AVU-G- 1 7-05 D. Leroy, Leroy Law Schedule 2, Page 4 of 16 II, o Page 4 o o the law's text, segmented Idaho Code 6l-327 into three sections for discussion and analysis purposes. At page 50 of the Briet the Commission recounts that an operating properfy transfer by any means whatsoever of title or interest to a utility company is covered by the statute. At page 51, the statutory focus on the class of entities to which such property MAY NOT be hansferred is discussed. Per the Commission: "This part of the section prohibits transfer of an electric utility's operating property to any governmental or municipality entity or any entity organized or controlled by a govemmental or municipality entity. It further prohibits transfers in concert or arangement with any person or representative acting for or representing a goverrrment or municipal corporation or govemmental or political unit." Finally at page 52, the Commission offers this conclusion as to one other class of prohibited recipi ents : "The final part of this section prohibits transfer of any interest of any electric utility's operating property to an entity organized under the laws of any other state unless that sntity is an electric public utility subject to thejurisdiction of the Commission. This prohibition, like the prohibition against transfer of operation property to governmental or political entities or in concert or arrangement with govemmental or political entities or their representatives, is absolute." Over the intervening years, the IPUC has not further elaborated upon its view of this statute, as far as is known. In a letter to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission dated February 4,2000, over the signature of Stephanie Miller, Administrator of the Utilities Division, the IPUC explained that a foreign utility company's acquisition of a locally managed utility which did not compromise state retention of regulatory authority was acceptable to it. No mention was made of Idaho Code 6l-327. THE AVAILABLE LEGISLATTVE HISTORY OF IDAHO CODE SECTION 6I-327 The statute first saw construction as House Bill26 during the 1951 Regular Session of the Idaho State Legislature. Although no committee notes or formal position papers or transcripts are extant, four sources do give some background on the issue. The Report of the Attorney General, 195l-1952 by Robert E. Smylie, pages l0-11, explains the necessity for the statute and the legal aftermath which subsequently followed, thusly: Exhibit No. 15 Case Nos. AVU-E-1 7-09/AVU-G- 1 7-05 D. Leroy, Leroy Law Schedule 2, Page 5 of 16 u. o Page 5 o o o "The 1951 Legislature enacted a statute which forbade acquisition by a municipal corporation of another state of facilities for the generation or transmission of electrical energy in ldaho. The statute was patently aimed at preventing acquisition by Public Utility Districts of the State of Washington of the operating properties of the Washington Water Power Company located in North ldaho. The enactment of the statute was productive of the most time consuming litigation in which the office has been engaged in the period reported in this report. Our efforts were directed at the problem of securing enforcement of the new statute. The Washington Water Power Company was then a wholly owned subsidiary of American Power and Light Company. ln7942,the American Company had been ordered by the Securities & Exchange Commission of the United States to divest itself of its operating properties, including the Washington Company. In 1951, the American Washington Company to the Washington State Public Utility Districts. Certain citizens of the Public Utility Districts undertook to restrain the purchase by the Districts on the ground that acquisition of the Idaho properties by the Washington Districts was beyond their power. The Washington State Courts so held and enjoined the sale and purchase as then proposed. Thereupon, we urged the Securities & Exchange Commission to enforce its 1942 order of dissolution by taking mandatory action against the American Company. We suggested that the proper method of accomplishing a divestiture of the Washington Company was by distribution of the Washington Company common stock to the stockholders of the American Company, pro rata as their ownership in the American Company appeared. After a series of hearings the Securities & Exchange Commission ordered that such divestiture occur not later than January 1,1952 unless plans were then in process of completion which would effect some other disposition of the Washington Company. Just prior to the deadline, the American Company filed a plan for another sale of the Washington Company to the Public Utility Districts and to an Idaho Corporation not yet formed. It developed that no contract of sale had been entered into between the proposed pa(ies and that the Idaho corporation, while non-profit in character, would in effect by another holding company for the operating property. We felt compelled to resist this plan and made appropriate representation to the Securities & Exchange Commission. An order was entered setting the American plan for sale and, the plan for divestiture by distribution Page 6 Exhibit No. 15 Case Nos. AVU-E-1 7-09/AVU-G- 1 7-05 D. Leroy, LeroY Law Schedule 2, Page 6 of 16 o o down for hearing. The Public Utility Districts thereupon sought a restraining order in the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals fo the Ninth Circuit against holding the hearing. We joined the Securities Commission in seeking to have the restraining order dissolved and the petition for review of the Commission's action dismissed. The Court agreed with this position, dismissed the petition for review and dissolved the restraining order. The Commission thereupon ordered the hearing. The American Company then filed a plan for distribution in accordance with our initial suggestion to the Commission. That diskibution was finally accomplished on August?l, 1952 and the Washington Company is now an independent operating utility, without holding company control of any kind. The pu{poses of the 1 95 I statute have been rendered effective. We entered the litigation at the Federal administrative level in order to avoid long, difficult and costly litigation in our own State Courts, and in the several United States Courts." The action by the Idaho Legislature in reaction to the perceived utility sale threat was compressed into a single day 67 years ago. Two official joumals report the detail: The Joumal of the Idaho House of Representatives for January 22,1951 atpageT5 indicates that the body suspended its rules, "this being a case of urgency," and passed the House Bill 26 by a tally of 47 ayes, 7 nays, and 5 excused. On that same day, the Senate, under like emergency procedures, adopted the Bill without amendment, voting 37 in favor, 3 no and 4 excused. (Journal ofthe ldaho State Senate, January 22, 1957, page 78) Governor Len Jordan signed it into law the next day. The final history source is a local newspaper. Aithough no floor debates were then officially recorded, an article published in the Idaho Statesman the next day, written by Political Editor John Corlett, vividly details the swift and vigorous battles in both houses. Significantly, the primary purpose of the Bill was not to prevent a loss of regulatory supervision. Rather, a threatened loss of tax revenues mostly motivated the bill. "The public utility measwe came up in the House after a noon hour recess and after Democratic and Republican members held separate caucuses. Suspension of the rules was oked by 51 to 3 vote. It immediately became obvious that Rep. Jesse Vetter, the veteran Dernocrat from Kootenai, was prepared to scrap. Twice he objected to moves for unanimous consent to have the clerk stop reading the lengthy bill and have it entered on the record as read in full. And so the house sat quietly as Chief Clerk C. A. Bottolfsen droned through the seven closely-typed pages. Then Rep. David Doane (K- Ada) o Exhibit No. 15 Case Nos. AVU-E-1 7-09/AVU-G-17-05 D. LeroY, Leroy Law Schedule 2,Page7 of 16 PageT o assistant Republican floor leaders, opened the debate for the bill's zupporters. He explained that the major purpose was to protect power users of Idaho, particularly those in North Idaho, "to be sure that the electric utility properties be owned in Idaho and not escape taxation." He told the house that there was now pending negotiations between the Washington Water Power company and the PUD group from Washington for the sale of the former's north Idaho properties. "How soon they are going through with the deal, we don't know," said Doanne, "but it is essential that this bill be passed right away." Closing debate, Doanne ernphasized that his interest in the bill was dictated by his conviction that the measure was to the interest of the state. He said that if the norttr Idaho properties were sold before the legislature could stop it, the state would lose at least $460,000 in revenues.... ln the Senate, Sen. E.J. Soelbert (R-Butte), the majority floor leader, launched the debate by saying there was "great urgency" for passage of the measure because of negotiations now in progress in New York City. "If the sale is made prior to passage of this bill, Idaho would stand to lose heavily in taxes. If the Washington Water Power company were transferred to the tax-exempt PUDs in Washington, the state of Idaho would stand to lose a lot of money." (Idaho Statesman, January 23,1951, page 6) These verbatim and attributed comments reported by the local newspaper constitute the only debate detail extant, as far as is known. No official legislative summaries or transcripts of floor dialog were kept by the Idaho Legislature in 1951. In fac! no such written materials are produced by this State even today. THE IDAHO SUPREME COURT APPROACH TO STATUTORY CONSTRUCTION Anyruling which the Idaho Public Utilities Commission makes will potentiallybe reviewed by an appeal to Idaho's highest court. Idaho regulatory bodies commonly make initial interpretations of statute within their realm of authority and expertise. If appealed, our courts scrutinize the agency holding with some deference. However, the judiciary has the ultimate o IV o Exhibit No. 15 Case Nos. AVU-E-1 7-09iAVU-G-1 7-05 D. Leroy, Leroy Law Schedule 2, Page 8 of '16 Page 8 o responsibility to construe legislative language to determine the law. J.R. Simplot Company. Inc. vs Idaho State Tax Commission, I 20 Idaho 849 , 820 P 2d 1206 ( 1 991 ) Therefore, the traditional rules applied on appeal by the Idaho Supreme Court to scrutinize and discern statutory meaning become relevant to this predictive opinion. Appellate precedent in Idaho holds: "This Court exercises free review over the application and construction of statutes. Where the language of a statute is plan and unambiguous, this Court must give effect to the statute as written, without engagng in statutory construction. The language of the statute is to be given its plain, obvious, and rational meaning. If the language is clear and unambiguous, there is no occasion for the court to resort to legislative history or rules of statutory interpretation. When this Court must engage in statutory construction because an ambiguity exist, it has the duty to ascertain the legislative intent and give effect to that intent. To ascertain such intent, not only must the literal words of the statute be examined, but also the context of those words, the public policy behind the statute and its legislative history. It is incumbent upon a court to give an ambiguous statute an interpretation which will not render it a nullity. Constructions of an ambiguous statute that would lead to an absurd result are disfavored." (Summarized in Thompson v. State,20l8WL944 649, (Ct App. Page 4, citations omiued) Put another way: "The purpose of stafutory interpretation is to ascertain and "give effect to legislative intent. Statutory interpretation begins with the literal words of the statute, which are the best guide to determining legislative intent. The words of a statute should be given their plain meaning, unless a contrary legislative purpose is expressed or the plain meaning creates an absurd result. If the words of the statute are subject to more than one meaning, it is ambiguous and we must construe the statute "to mean what the legislature intended it to mean. To determine that intent, we examine not only the literal words of the statute, but also the reasonableness of proposed constructions, the public policy behind the statute, and its legislative history." KFG Development. LLC. vs City of Ketchum. I 49 Idaho 524 527 -528 236 P3d 1284 (2010) (citations omitted) These principles can and should be applied to the pertinent issues facing the IPUC as it Exhibit No. 15 Case Nos. AVU-E-17-09/AVU-G-1 7-05 D. Leroy, Leroy Law Schedule 2, Page 9 of 16 o o Page 9 o o considers two critical questions arising from Idaho Code Section6l-327. V. THE CONCEPT OF "STATE" As to the pending Application, it is clearly a relevant issue as to whethsr the language of Idaho Code Section 61-327 was intended to bar government organizations such as the Province of Ontario &om being involved in Idaho public utility transactions, since Hydro One was formerly a provincial entity and the Canadian entity will remain a shareholder of approximately 43% ofshares outstanding in a parent entity, after the proposed transaction is concluded. Of significance, it appears that the Idaho PUC has not previously been concerned with examining the type or nature of shareholders owning equities in foreign-related utilities operating in Idaho. This is understandable in modern, worldwide corporate terms, as the IPUC itself has explained: " With the increased globalization of economies and cultures, the concept of an "American" company is becoming more obscure. Today's increasingly competitive markets require businesses to search far and wide for materials, labor, and business opportunities. Large businesses whose stock is publicly traded in this county are often owned, at least in part, by foreign interests. Similarly, U.S. corporations and individuals often engage in the acquisition of or partnership with foreign businesses. ln short, corporate mergers make the news almost daily. It was often expressed during the public hearings in this case that the "country" of Scotland should not be allowed to take over an "American" corporation. ln fact, Scottish Power no more constitutes the Scottish govsrnrnent than PacifiCorp constitutes the government of the United States. PacifiCorp is an Oregon corporation whose stock is publicly traded and owned by people living throughout the country, and the world. Not one of PacifiCorp's curent members of the board of directors lives in Idaho. Both Scottish Power and PacifiCorp are investor-owned businesses engagmg in precisely the type of economic posturing that many large business must consider as an option to remain competitive in today's marketplace. It just so happens that they operate in an industry that is governmentally regulated. We find that the denial of the merger in this case simply by virtue of the fact that Scottish Power is incorporated in another country would put this Commission on very tenuous legal footing. The constitutional and statutory structure under which this Exhibit No. 15 Case Nos. AVU-E-1 7-09/AVU-G-1 7-05 D. Leroy, Leroy Law Schedule 2, Page 1 0 of 1 6 o Page 10 o Commission functions and pursuant to which we must review this mergsr does not allow such a ruling. lndeed, the founding document of this counbry potentially prohibits such discrimination. Article 1, Section 8 of the United States Constitution, known as the "Commerce Clause," vests in the United States Congress the power "to regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states." The fundamental principle embodied in the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS - a component of the General Agreanent on Tarifk and Trade (GATT) is that foreign countries who are signatories to the agreement will have o'most favored nation" status in their dealings with the United States. This means that the United States is not perrnitted to discriminate against service providers who are citizens of other states or foreign countries. Thus, if any state has a law on its books giving favored treatment to its own citizens, that law will be pre-empted by the GATS treaty." (See Final Order, 2813, Joint Application of PacifiCorp and Scottish Power, November 15.1999, pages 34-35.) United Kingdom corporate regrstry records indicate that at or about the time of the 1998 approval by the IPUC of Scottish Power's acquisition of PacifiCorp at least 18 govemmental entities owned more than 52,000,000 shares of stock in the oversees entity. It was not a regulatory issue at that time. Likewise, the stock ownership composition of Suez Water Idaho, lnc., a Boise water distribution utility, formerly known as United Water, and its relationship with its foreign parent, Suez Lyonaise des Eaux, a French multinational corporation appears not to have been a subject of examination when that entity last appeared before the Commission. (See Final Order 28505, ln Re. United Water Idaho, lnc., September 5, 2000) The 1951 era text written by the Idaho Legislature fairly tightly refers to "any government or municipal corporation, quasi-municipal corporation, or govemmental or political unit, subdivision or corporation, organized or existing under the laws of any other state." Ownership of Idaho utility operating properties by such units is banned. The phrase is repeated three times in the statutory language. Giving the terms their plain, simple and ordinary meaning, as is required by Idaho law, and noting that all of the described subsidiary units mentioned are typically organizedunder American state law as lesser units of the sovereign, the "state" referenced to in Idaho Code Section 61-327 means a state of the United States. It was not intended, nor does it without impermissable broadening, refer to a foreign nation or any subdivision thereof. Exhibit No. 15 Case Nos. AVU-E-1 7-09/AVU-G-1 7-05 D. LeroY, LeroY Law Schedule 2,Page 11 of 16 o o Page i1 o o This straightforward conclusion is made even more evident, if the principles of legislative history are utilized. In the context of 1951, as explained above, the targets were our sister state of Washington and its potentially problematic quasi-municipal corporations called "public utility districts." The problem detected and prevented in a legislative rush was a threatened loss of tax revenue, should private utility operating property located within Idaho become public-entity owned, and thus exernpt from taxation. To a lesser degree, a potential loss of unfettered regulatory control by the IPUC was also of concem. Washington state and its lesser entities are the emblematic examples of what these words mean. They clearly confirm that the term "state" must be simply and plainly meant. Although no Idaho case law interprets this section, as to this phrase, Idaho Polver Company v. State. 104 Idaho 515,661. P 2d741(1983) references the statute and confirms that water rights in contiguous Oregon and Washington are not utility operating properfy within the meaning of the statute. It is also worth noting that even under federal law the term "state" is often narrowly construed. " The government argues that the term "State" in Section 921 (a)(33)'s definition section should be interpreted to mean "State and local," so that a municipal misdemeanor conviction would constifute a misdemeanor under state law. ln so arguing, however, the govemment completely ignores the fact that Section 921 and922 clearly and consistently differentiate between states and municipalities and between state laws and municipal ordinances. These sections, like the rest of the Gun Control Act, repeatedly use the phrases "State and local" or "State or local" when reference is made both to states and municipalities, and the government cites to no other provision in this statute where the word "State" is even arguably meant to encompass both state and local governments or laws. The statute's repeated use of the term "local" in juxtaposition with the term "State" would not be necessary if Congress intended for the term "State" to refer both to the state and to all of the political subdivisions within it." If we were to interpret the term "Srate" in this manner, then much of the statute's language would be unnecessary and superfluous, contrary to the "settled rule that a statute must, if possible, be construed in such fashion that every word has some operative effect." On the other hand, if we were to interpret the term "State" to mean something different in Section 921 (a)(33) than it means in all of the proceeding and following subsections, therr we would be disregarding another "normal rule of statutory construction," the rule that identical words used in different parts of the same act are intended to have the same meaning. The government provides no persuasive reason why we should depart from either of these well-established principles of statutory Exhibit No. 15 Case Nos. AVU-E-1 7-09/AVU-G-1 7-05 D. Leroy, Leroy Law Schedule 2, Page 12 ot 16 o Page 12 o interpretation in this case." U.S. v. Pauler,857 F3 1073 1075-1076 (USCCA. 10th Cn.2017) Various Idaho statutes, where the Legislature actually intended a law to apply to certain national extraterritorial aspects, specifically mention the word "province," as well as the word "state." (See for example Idaho Code Sections 19-5202,4L-340,41-1003. 4l-3228,63- 2.401,67-7801 and 72-218) Presumably, the 1951 Legislature could have done the same Thus, Idaho Code 61-327 is not intended nor designed to apply to the Province of Ontario. Even were it to so do, the Idaho Public Utility Commission has not typically examined or previously been concemed about foreign govemments holding minority stock ownership in utility corporations operating in Idaho. TF{E CONCEPT OF "CONTROL'' The IPUC staffhas expressed concern about the statutory references to the term "controlling interests" in 6l-327 as possibly being an impediment to this transaction, the argument being that if the government of the Province of Ontario will hold approximately 43Yo of the stock outstanding in Hydro One, it has or may have "effective control" of the enterprise and its downstream utility operating properties. Recent Canadian political events have impacted the governance of the entity, highlighting the existence of this issue for review. lndeed, there are extant United States Securities and Exchange Commission regulations which discuss such an indirect control concept. Further, American federal courts have discussed the potential breadth of the term: "While there is no stafutory definition of "control," its concept is not a nuurow one. Its determination is a question of fact which depends upon the totality of circumstances including an appraisal of the influence upon management and policies of a corporation by the person involved." Control may be excerted in other ways than by a vote stock ownership being only one aspect or control. A person may be in control even though he does not own a majority fo the voting stock." U.S. v. Corr,543 F 2d 1042,1050 (USCC A2,1976) (citation omitted) In statutes other than that one at issue here, idaho law too has indirect corporate conhol definitions in specific purpose laws enforced by other regulatory agencies besides the IPUC. " Control means . . . A person who, directly or indirectly owns of record Exhibit No. 15 Case Nos. AVU-E-1 7-0g/AVU-G-'1 7-05 D. Leroy, LeroY Law Schedule 2,Page 13 of 16 u. o o Page 13 o or beneficially holds with power to vote or holds proxies with discretionary authority to vote, twenty percent (20%) or more of the then outstanding voting securities issued by a corporation shall be rebuttably presumed to control that corporation." Idatro Code Section 26-2702 (8), Title 26, Banks and Banking, Chapter 27, Business and Industrial Development Corporations, enforced by the ldaho Department of Finance This statute was not adopted until 1989, some thirty eight years after the law in question. "Control," "controlling," "controlled by''or "under cotrlmon control with" means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or to cause the direction of the managanent and policies of a person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. A person's beneficial ownership of ten per cent (10%) or more of the voting power of a corporation's outstanding shares entitled to vote in the election of directors creates a presumption that the person has control of the corporation. A person is not considered to have control ofa corporation if the person holds voting power, in good faith and not for the purpose of avoiding the provisions of this chapter, as an agent, bank, broker, nominee, custodian or trustee for one (1) or more beneficial owners who do not individually or as a group have control of the corporation." Idaho Code Section 30-1701 (8), Title 30, Corporations, Chapter 17, Business Corporation Act, and generally overseen by the Idaho Secretary of State and enforced by private action. The law was passed in 1988. Neither of those two code section definitions are automatically transportable into Idaho Code 61-327 under Idaho law. "However, such definitions in any section of the Idaho Code are not typically or universally applied to or utilized to infonn or construct other unrelated section of Idaho's laws. Statutory definitions provided in one act do not apply for all purposes and in all contexts, but generally only what they mean where they apply in the same act ln Re Decision on Joint Motion to Certiff Question of Law to the Idaho Supreme Court. 2018 WL 472145 (Id. Supreme Court, Docket No. 45187) Therefore, the proper and best reasoned Idaho approach for illuminating the meaning of the concept of control as found in 61-327 is to begin with the literal words of the statute and their plain, usual and ordinary meaning as a whole. The statutory phrase in question is "owned or controlled." Exhibit No. 15 Case Nos. AVU-E-1 7-09/AVU-G-1 7-05 D. LeroY, LeroY Law Schedule 2, Page 14 of 16 o o Page 14 o Black's Law Dictionary defines the following three terms: A. "CONTROL. The direct or indirect power to govern the management and policies of a person or entiry whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise; the power or authority to manage, direct, or otherwise, the power of authority to manage, direct or oversee B. CORPORATE CONTROL. Corporations. 1. Ownership of more than 50% of the shares in a corporation. Also termed effective control; working control. 2. The power to vote enough of the shares in a corporation to determine the outcome of matters that the shareholders vote on. C. WORKING CONTROL. 1. The effective control of a corporation by a person or group who owns less than 50% of the stock control." Black's Law Dictionary, 10e Edition, 2Ol4,page 403 (ernphasis added) Thus, corporate control, in the most ordinary, plain usage means "majority shareholding." In the context of the historic issues of 1951, as faced by the Idaho Legislature, the two words chosen by the lawmakers, "owned or controlled" were clearly intended to mean the same ffrg, not alternatives or shades of distinction. It was the threatened cornplete divestiture of the utility operating properties and the corporate entity which contolled them which caused the emergency action, driving the adoption of this statute. No discussion of "working control" of a corporation was contemplated nor intended by the phrase "directly or indirectly," even though such issues may arise in modern corporate governance. Idaho Code 61-327 should be interpreted to prohibit majority control of a utility's stock, not prevent some theoretical, hypothetical, speculative or subjective concept of corporate influence by lesser ownership. The loss of taxation which worried the local legislators in I 95 i was driven by the threatened sale of 100% of the ownership of the involved utility. In fact, the title to and control of and taxability of the tangible assets of the utility was the actual issue, not stock ownership. It is also worth noting that the IPUC, as far as I can determine, has never gone b€hind majority ownership numbers to predict some SEC-t1pe concept of indirect corporate influence, as contrasted with the simple majority ownership test envisioned by Idaho Code 6l-327. Neither Hydro One nor Olympus Equity nor Avista is a governmental entity owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Province of Ontario, even if the Province were to de deemed a "state" under the language of the Idaho law. \rII. THE EVIDENT LEGISLATME INTENT As noted above, the language of Idaho Code 61-327 is plain and unambiguous as to the Exhibit No. 15 Case Nos. AVU-E-1 7-09/AVU-G- 1 7-05 D. LeroY, LeroY Law Schedule 2, Page 1 5 of 't 6 o o Page 15 o o terms "state" and "controlled." Also as urged above, the legislative history of the statute provides and reinforces these interpretations, consistent with the simplest view of same terms, even if one concludes that phraseology or language of the law is not "clear and unambigBous." The context of the literal words of the statute, the discernable public policybehind the law and such legislative history as is reconstructed above make it apparent that the threat that certain Washington State public utility dishicts might acquire the entirety of the common stock of Washington Water Power drove the drafting and passage of this legislation. The reported debates as captured by the Idaho Statesman reflect that both the House, where the Bill originated, and the Senate, where it rushed through in mere minutes, were mostly focused upon the loss of Idaho tax revenues. Both floor sponsors so said in urglng immediate votes, so as to preempt the timing of a psnding stock sale hansaction to the Washington PUDs. Nothing about the Application pending before the IPUC suggests any transfer to a public entity which would be non-taxable in ldaho. No loss of privately held property subject to taxes is threatened. The transaction, as structured, would leave the IPUC with unfettered regulatory control over Avista and the utility operating property. Accordingly, nothing about either the Iegislative history of 61-327 or its language as informed by that history is prohibitive to the pending Application. Vru. CONCLUSION For each and all of the above reasons, I conclude that the IPUC does not have a basis under Idaho Code 6l-327 to deny the pending Application. Attorney at Law Exhibit No.'t5 Case Nos.

Rate Commitments 16.Treatment of Net Cost Savings: Hydro One commits that Avista customer rates will not increase as a result of the Proposed Transaction. Hydro One will hold Avista customers harmless from any such rate increase. Further, any net cost savings that Avista may achieve as a result of the Proposed Transaction will be reflected in subsequent rate proceedings, as such savings materialize. To the extent the savings are reflected in base retail rates they will offset the Rate Credit to customers, up to the offsetable portion of the Rate Credit. 17. Treatment of Transaction Costs: a. Costs associated with the Proposed Transaction will be separately tracked as non- utility costs with no charges, either allocated or direct, to be recovered from Avista customers. After the consummation of the Proposed Transaction, any remaining transaction costs or other costs of Olympus Holding Corp. or Hydro One will not appear on Avista's utility books, i.e. such costs will be recorded as non-utility. Avista shall furnish the Commission with journal entries and supporting detail showing the nature and amount of all costs of the Proposed Transaction (including but not limited to management time, BOD time, in-house and outside counsel time, any consultants engaged, etc.) since the Proposed Transaction was first contemplated, as well as the accounts charged, within 120 days of a Commission order in this docket. 3 Operations and maintenance funds dedicated to economic development and non-utility strategic oppornrnities witl be recorded below-the-line to a nonoperating account.

Rate Credits: 18. o Avista and Hydro One will flow through to Avista's retail customers in Idaho a Rate Credit of approximately $ I 5.8 milliona over a 5-year period, beginning at the time the merger closes. Rate Credit Proposal Idaho Annual Credit Years 1-5 Idaho Total Credit Total Credit $3.2 Million $15.8 Million Offsetable Credit $527,510 $2.6 Million The Total Rate Credit to customers for the five years following the closing will be approximately $3.2 millions per year. A portion of the annual total Rate Credit will o a The exact agreed-upon figure is $15,811,050, which is equal to 5%o ofthe Idaho base revenue as of02101/18. Idaho elechic base revenue is $259,473,000, and Idaho natural gas base revenue (including natural gas costs - Schedules 150/155) is $56,748,000. Five percent of those revenues arc $12,973,650 (electric) and $2,837,400 (natural gas). s The exact amount agreed upon is $3,162,210 per year. The annual Idaho electric Rate Credit for each ofthe five years is $2,594,730. The annual Idaho natural gas Rate Credit for each of the five years is $567,480.

During the 5-year period the financial benefits will be flowed through to customers either through the separate Rate Credit described above or through a reduction to the underlying cost of service as these benefits are reflected in the test period numbers used for ratemaking. At the time of the close, the $3.2 million benefit will be provided to customers through a separate Rate Credit, as long as the reduction in costs (of up to $527,510 annually) has not already been reflected in base retail rates for Avista's customers. To the extent Avista demonstrates in a future rate proceeding that cost savings, or benefits, directly related to the Proposed Transaction are already being flowed through to customers through base retail rates, the separate Rate Credit to customers would be reduced by an amount up to the offsetable Rate Credit amount. The portion of the total Rate Credit that is not offsetable effectively represents acceptance by Hydro One of a lower rate of return during the 5-year period. The $15.8 million represents the "floor" of benefits that will be flowed through to Avista's customers, either through the Rate Credit or through benefits otherwise included in base retail rates. To the extent the identifiable benefits exceed the annual offsetable Rate Credit amounts, these additional benefits will be flowed through to customers in base retail rates in general rate cases as they occur. Avista and Hydro One believe additional efficiencies (benefits) will be realized over time from the sharing of best practices, technology and innovation between the two companies. It will take time, however, to identify and capture these benefits. The level of annual net cost savings (and/or net benefits) will be tracked and reported on an annual basis, and compared against the offsetable level of savings. Any application of offsetable savings will be reviewed by the Commission before the offset is applied, and Avista bears the burden of proof to prove that savings have materialized and the offset to rate credits should apply. Regulatory Commitments 20. State Resulatory Authoritv and Jurisdiction: Hydro One and its subsidiaries, including Avista, as applicable and as appropriate, will comply with all applicable laws, including those pertaining to transfers of property, affiliated interests, and securities and the assumption of obligations and liabilities. As required by and consistent with applicable laws, venue for resolution of proceedings related to these matters will be at the appropriate state utility commission(s). Hydro One and its subsidiaries, including Avista, will make their employees and officers available to 6 The offsetable portion ofthe Rate Credit is calculated using a pro rata share ofthe jurisdictional total ofthe rate credit (i.e. Idaho's share of the total system offsetable Rate Credit is 31.03%, therefore Idaho's share of the $1.7 million offsetable portion is $527,510).

Access to and Maintenance of Books and Records: Nothing in the Proposed Transaction and corporate structure thereafter will limit or affect the Commission's rights with respect to inspection of Avista's and Olympus Holding Corp.'s accounts, books, papers and documents pursuant to and in compliance with all applicable Idaho laws and administrative rules. Hydro One, Olympus Holding Corp. and its subsidiaries, including Avista, will provide reasonable access to Avista's books and records; access to financial information and filings; access rights with respect to the documents supporting any costs that may be allocable to Avista; and access to Avista's board minutes, audit reports, and information provided to credit rating agencies pertaining to Avista. Hydro One, Olympus Holding Corp. and its subsidiaries, including Avista, will maintain the necessary books and records so as to provide documents relating to all corporate, affiliate, or subsidiary transactions with Avista, or that result in costs that may be allocable to Avista.

Olympus Holding Corp. and its subsidiaries, including Avista, will provide the Commission with access to written information provided by and to credit rating agencies that pertains to Avista. Olympus Holding Corp. and each of its subsidiaries will also provide the Commission with access to written information provided by and to credit rating agencies that pertains to Olympus Holding Corp.'s subsidiaries to the extent such information may affect Avista. Hydro One and its affiliates agree that the Commission may have access to all the accounting records of Hydro One and its affiliates that are the bases for charges to Avista, to determine the reasonableness of the costs and the allocation factors used by Hydro One and its affiliates, or its subdivisions to assign costs to Avista and amounts subject to allocation or direct charges. Hydro One and its affiliates agree that they will not raise lack of jurisdiction as a means of denying such access, and agree to cooperate fully with such Commission investigations. Furthermore, any party may recommend that the Commission deny recovery of any costs assigned or charged to Avista by Hydro One or its affiliates if that party believes that Hydro One or its affiliates have failed to provide sufficient access to records relating to the costs at issue. Cost Allocations Related to Corporate Structure and Affiliate Interests: Avista agrees to provide, and Hydro One agrees Avista will provide, cost allocation methodologies used to allocate to Avista any costs related to Hydro One or its other affiliates and subsidiaries, and commits that there will be no cross-subsidization by Avista customers of unregulated activities. Avista will not charge to customers expenses allocated or directly assigned by Hydro One except as specifically authorized for recovery in rates by the Commission. The cost-allocation methodology provided pursuant to this commifrnent will be a generic methodology that does not require Commission approval prior to it being proposed for specific application in a general rate case or other proceeding affecting rates. The cost-allocation methodology provided pursuant to this commitment also will establish a procedure for ensuring that additional costs or revenues resulting from changing curency exchange rates will not be reflected in rates charged to Idaho customers. Avista will bear the burden of proof in any general rate case that any corporate and affiliate cost allocation methodology is reasonable for ratemaking purposes.

For purposes of financial commitments or commitments having a financial impact, commitments should be proportionate to Avista's corresponding business function in Idaho in relation to its corresponding total company business function. Accordingly, commitments should be allocated among Avista's WA, ID and OR jurisdictions based on the following: 1) Rate Credit is allocated based on base revenues; 2) all other financial commitments are allocated using the Company's jurisdictional "four factor" allocation methodology, routinely employed for purposes of allocating common costs, as discussed in Mr. Ehrbar's testimony in this proceeding. For purposes of this provision, "financial commitments or commitments having a financial impact" do not include ring fencing provisions.

AVU-E-17-09 and AW-G-1?-05 Dear Commissioners, I am writing to update you regarding discussions between the Idaho Department of Wator Resources (*IDWR") and Avista Corporation ("Avista"). Since early 2018, IDWR and Avista have bsen discussing Avista's water right claims in the Coeur d'Alene-Spokane River Easin Adjudication ("CSRBA"). The main focus of our discussions has been Avista's hydropower water rights atthe tlree dams and powcr plant at Post Falls ("Post Falls dam"). Ths State of ldaho has a history of disputes over hydropower water rights. The Swan Falls conboversy of the early 1980s involving Idaho Power's hydropower watsr rights at Swan Falls dam led to the commencement of the Snake River Basin Adjudication ("SRBA") in 1987. Litigation in the SRBA rslated to tdaho Power's Swan Falls water rights did not oonclude until 2012. A main reason for engaging with Avista early in the CSRBA was 10 avoid oxtended litigation over Avista's hydropower waler rights, especially over the issue of subordination to existing and future water rights. In July of 2018, IDWR was notified of the Joint Applicatioafor an Ader Autlnrizing Proposed T?cnsaction (*Joint Application") filed with the ldaho Public Utilities Commission (*PUC') by Avista and Hydro One Limited ("Hydro One"). The Joint Application sought tho PUC's approval of a planned merger between Avista and Hydro One pursuant to Idaho Code $ 6L-328. Imrnediately, IDWR was ooncerned the merger would disrupt the adjudication claim discussions and might impede or prevent resolution ofthe issues, Furtherrrore, IDWR was concerned the merger oould result in a change in the use of water authorized by Avista's hydropower water rights. To ensure that the public interest, as it pertains to Avista's use of water under its hydropower water rights, would not be adversely affected, IDWR moved to intervene in the PUC proceeding. The PUC subsequently granted IDl#R's petition to intervene. While IDWR's petition to interyene was pending before the PUC, IDWR and Avista continued discussing Avista's hydropower water rights at Post Falls dam. We are pleased to inform you that IDWR and Avista reached an agreemsnt that addresses IDWR's ooncems. Specifically, IDWR and Avista have ExhibitNo. 101 Case Nos. AVU-E-17-09/ AVU-G-17-05 T.

IDWR and Avista have agreed that Avista's water right claim nos. 95-4518, 95-9115, and 95-9119 shall be recommended in the CSRBA with the following subordinafion language: The use of water confirmed in this right shall be junior ard subordiuate to permits, licenses, or decrees for all uses *ithin the State of Idaho with a prionty date oi or earlier than, July 25,2018, diverted upstream from all three points of diversion for this right.

I : o Ontarlo Energy Board EB-2016.0276 Hydro One lnc. Orillia Power Distribution Corporatlon o 4 DECISION ON THE ISSUES 4.1 Application of the No Harm Test Price, Cost Effectiveness and Economic Efficiency Hydro One submitted that Orillia Power's customers will benefit from the proposed transaction through a: (i) reduction of 1o/oin the base distribution delivery rates for Orillia Power's residential and general service customers in years 1 to 5; (ii) rate increase of less than inflation in years 6 to 10 (inflation less a productivity stretch factor); and (iii) $3.4 million being paid to Orillia Power customers, a result of the guaranteed ESM.7 Hydro One provided a forecast ten year cost structure analysis, that compared overall expected savings based on Orillia Power, remaining as a stand-alone distribution utility (status quo) to having Orillia Power integrated with Hydro One's existing operations. Hydro One projected that the consolidation would result in overall ongoing operating, maintenance and administration (OM&A) cost savings of approximately $3.9 million per year and reductions in capital expenditures of approximately $0.6 million per year. Cost savings are anticipated from elimination of redundant administrative and processing functions in the following areas: financial, regulatory, legal, executive and governance, human resources, and information technology; as well as economies of scale from a larger customer base such that costs for processing systems like billing, customer care, human resources and financial are spread over a larger group of customers.s Hydro One asserted that geographic contiguity (Hydro One's existing service area being situated immediately adjacent to Orillia Power's service area) allows for economies of scale to be realized at the field or operational level through more efficient scheduling of operational and maintenance work and dispatching of crews over a larger service area. Hydro One also asserted that more efficient utilization of work equipment (e.9. trucks and other tools), leads to lower capital replacement needs over time and more rational and efficient planning and development of the distribution system.e ln the submissions filed, parties questioned Hydro One's submissions. 7 Application, Exh A/T1l51, P.4I Applicatlon, Exh A/T1/S1, pages 2, 11-13 'Application, Exh A/T1lS1, p.10 Decision and Order April 12,2018 Io I O Ontarlo Energy Board EB-2016-0276 Hydro One lnc. Orillia Power Distribution SEC argued that approval for the proposed transaction should be denied, stating that the no harm test will not be met in this case. SEC submitted that Hydro One has shown no credible evidence that it will be able to generate any savings by acquiring Orillia Power and that there will be cost increases for Orillia's customers after the deferral period.10 SEC argued that there were no cost savings for the customers of Norfolk, Haldimand and Woodstock, noting the rates proposed for customers of these previously acquired utilities rise significantly after the end of the deferral period as shown in Hydro One's distribution rate application. SEC submitted that the rates of Orillia's customers are likely to rise in a similar manner. CCC submitted that Hydro One has provided no evidence in this proceeding to support the argument that the transaction meets the no harm test. CCC referenced Hydro One's distribution rate application, stating that Hydro One has proposed a new rate class for Norfolk, Haldimand and Woodstock that has the rates of the customers in those areas rising significantly. CCC submitted that Hydro One has provided no guarantee that when the deferral period ends, the rates for Orillia Power's customers will reflect the costs to serve these customers. CCC submitted that unless Hydro One can convince the OEB that the benefits of this transaction (a 1% rate reduction, a rate freeze and up- front ESM savings) to Orillia Power's customers outweigh the expected rate increases at the end of the deferral period, the transaction should not be approved.ll VECC submitted that it accepts that the application meets the no harm test with respect to price although the benefits to Orillia Power customers are not as significant as claimed. VECC argued that the no harm test with respect to price can only be satisfied if the rates eventually charged to former Orillia Power customers are reflective of Hydro One's cost to serve them and submitted that the OEB should set out this expectation as it has done with other consolidation applications filed by Hydro One.12 OEB staff submitted that the evidence provided by Hydro One supports the claim that the proposed transaction can reasonably be expected to result in overall cost savings and operational efficiencies but that these operational and cost efficiencies may not necessarily translate to lower distribution rates for customers of the acquired entig after the deferred rebasing period has ended. OEB staff observed that the rates proposed for previously acquired utilities in Hydro One's distribution rate application suggest large to SEC Submissions, p. 4,5 It CCC Submissions, p.3 D VECC Submission! o O Decision and Order April 12,2018 I i I I o o Ontario Energy Board EB-2016-0276 Hydro One lnc. Orillia Power Distrlbution Corporation distribution rate increases for some customers of these acquired utilities once the deferred rebasing period elapses. 13 Hydro One responded to VECC's submissions stating that it is Hydro One's intention to apply rates to Orillia Power's customers that reflect the cost of serving those customers at that time. ln response to SEC's assertions, Hydro One stated that it has provided evidence that the proposed transaction results in the lowering of cost structures to operate the existing Orillia Power service territory. ln its reply submissions, Hydro One provided a cost structure analysis for the period 2015-2022 reflecting that the cost structures of Norfolk, Haldimand and Woodstock are lower than they would have been absent the consolidation transactions. Hydro One argued that the evidence provided in its distribution rate application shows that costs have declined consistent with the projections made in the consolidation application for each of the three previously acquired distributors. Hydro One submitted that there is a reasonable expectation, based on underlying cost structures, that the costs to serve acquired Orillia Power customers following the consolidation will be no higher than they otherwise would have been.la Orillia Power argued that the evidence filed in this case supports a finding that efficiencies will be gained and lower costs will be realised as a result of the proposed acquisition and that any reference to Hydro One's rate application is irrelevant to the issues before the OEB in this application. Orillia Power submitted that this acquisition is an illustration of the types of ratepayer benefits envisioned by the Ontario Distribution Sector Review Panel in its report on the benefits of distributor company consolidations. ln Procedural Order No. 7, the OEB ordered Hydro One to file further material, in the form of evidence or submissions on its expectations of the overall cost structures following the deferred rebasing period and the impact on Orillia Power customers. No new evidence was filed. Submissions were filed by Hydro One and Orillia Power. Hydro One submitted that, based on the projected Hydro One cost savings forecasl for the 10 year period following the transaction, Hydro One can definitively state that the overall cost structures to serve the Orillia area will be lower following the deferred rebasing period in comparison to the status quo. Hydro One submitted that at the time of rebasing, Hydro One will adhere to the cost allocation and rate design principles, in !

OEB Findings ln reviewing a proposed transaction, the OEB examines the long term effect of the consolidation on customers. The Handbook clarified the OEB's expectations with respect to price "A simple comparison of current rates between consolidating distributors does not reveal the potential for lower cost service delivery. These entities may have dissimilar service territories, each with a different customer mix resulting in differing rate class structure characteristics. For these reasons, the OEB will assess the underlying cost structures of the consolidating utilities. As distribution rates are based on a distributor's current and projected costs, it is important for the OEB to consider the impact of a transaction on the cost structure of consolidating entities both now and in the future, particularly if there appear to be significant differences in the size or demographics of consolidating distributors. A key expectation of the RRFE is continuous improvement in productivity and cost performance by distributors. The OEB's review of underlying cost structures supports the OEB's role in regulating price for the protection of consumers. Consistent with recent decisions,16 the OEB will not consider temporary rate decreases proposed by applicants, and other such temporary provisions, to be demonstrative of "no harm" as they are not supported by, or reflective of the underlying cost structures of the entities involved and may not be sustainable or beneficial in the long term. ln reviewing a transaction the OEB must consider the long term effect of the consolidation on customers and the financial sustainability of the sector. To demonstrate "no harm", applicants must show that there is a reasonable expectation based on underlying cost structures that the costs to serve It Hydro One Cost Structure Submissions, February 15, 2018, pa8es 2,6 r5 E B-2013-0195/EB-2013-0187/EB-2013-0198 EB-2014-0244 o 11Decision and Order April 12, 2018 o Ontario Energy Board E8.2016-0276 Hydro One lnc. Orillla Power Distrlbution Corporation acquired customers following a consolidation will be no higher than they otherwise would have been. While the rate implications to all customers will be considered, for an acquisition, the primary consideration will be the expected impact on customers of the acquired utility".17 One of the key considerations in the no harm test is protecting customers with respect to the prices they pay for electricity service. Although the Handbook states that "rate setting" following a consolidation will not be considered as part of a section 86 application, that does not mean the OEB will not consider the costs that acquired customers will have to pay following an acquisition (both in the short term. and the long term). lndeed the Handbook is clear that the underlying cost structures and the rate implications of those cost structures will be a key consideration. As stated in the Handbook and confirmed in decisions made on previous Hydro One acquisitionsls, the OEB does not consider temporary rate decreases to be on their own demonstrative of no harm as they are not supported by, or reflective of the underlying cost structures of the entities involved and may not be sustainable or beneficial in the long term. The OEB's primary concern is that there is a reasonable expectation that underlying cost structures for the acquired utility are no higher than they would have been had the consolidation not occurred. Although the OEB accepts that the acquisition will lead to some savings on account of eliminating redundancies, that does not necessarily mean that Hydro One's overall cost structure to serve Orillia's customers will be no higher than Orillia's underlying cost structure would have been absent the proposed acquisition. The experience of the three acquired utilities in Hydro One's current distribution rates case is informative. ln the MAADs proceedings in which Hydro One acquired these utilities, Hydro One pointed to savings that would be realized through the acquisition. Although these savings may well have occurred, they do not appear to have resulted in overall cost structures (and therefore rates) for customers of the acquired utilities that are no higher than they would have been, once the deferral period ended and their rates were adjusted to account for Hydro One's overall costs to serve them. Material filed in the Hydro One current distribution rates case shows that some rate classes are , Handbook, pages 6-7 'r E8.2013-0196/EB-2013-0187/EB-2013-0198 EB-2014-0244 EB-2014-0213 o o 12Decislon and Order April 12,2018 O Ontario Energy Board EB-2016-0276 Hydro One lnc. Orlllia Power Distrlbution Corporatlon expected to experience significant and material increases.le While the OEB has not approved these requested rates, this panel takes notice of the proposed rate increases which Hydro One states are reflective of the costs to service the acquired customers, and are inclusive of the "savings" that Hydro One states were realized. The OEB recognizes that Orillia was not part of Hydro One's distribution rates filing, and that it is not certain that its customers' experiences would be the same. Because of this uncertainty, the OEB provided Hydro One the opportunity to file further evidence on what it expects the overall cost structure to be following the deferral period and to explain the impact on Orillia's customers. Hydro One did not file further evidence. Hydro One's submissions simply restated its expectation that based on the projected Hydro One cost savings forecast for the 10 year period following the transaction, the overall cost structures to serve the Orillia area will be lower following the deferred rebasing period in comparison to the status quo. The OEB is of the view that it would have been reasonable to see a forecast of costs to service Orillia customers beyond the ten year period and an explanation of the general methodology of how costs would be allocated to Orillia ratepayers after the deferral period. Hydro One takes the position that this information is not known. The OEB recognizes that any forecast of cost structures and cost allocation 10 years out would include various assumptions and could not be expected to be 100% accurate. However, the OEB has highlighted its concern and its need to better understand the implications of how Orillia customers will be impacted by the consolidation beyond the ten year period. ln the absence of information to address that OEB concern, the OEB cannot reach the conclusion that there will be no harm. As discussed above, the OEB is not satisfied that a list of forecast cost savings from the acquisition automatically results in overall cost structures for the customers of the acquired utility that are no higher than they would be without the consolidation. Hydro One has failed to make the case that the OEB can be assured that the underlying cost structures would be no greater than they would have been absent the acquisition. The OEB is therefore not satisfied that the no harm test has been met, and on this basis the application is denied. re Hydro One Final Argument, Attachmenl 1 o Decision and Order April 12, 2018o 13 Olfice of the Secretary Service Date November 15,1999 o o BBFORE THE IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION IN THE MATTER OF THE JOINT APPLICA- TION AND PETITION OF PACIFICORP AND SCOTTISH POWER PLC FOR A DECLARA.

The amount of the credit shall be $1.6 million per year lbr the years 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003. The total credit in years 2000-2003 will be $6.4 million. The merger credit shall be allocated among PacifiCorp's retail tariff customers on the basis of a percentage of the customer bill, exclusive of taxes. At the end of each year, the aggregate amount of the credit allocated in that year shall be calculated. These calculations shall be available for audit by the Commission Staff. In the event the merger credit does not equal $1.6 million in any of the first three years, the excess or shortfall shall be applied to the amount due in the following year. For each of the years2002 and 2003, ScottishPower and PacifiCorp may reduce or offset the $1.6 million merger credit to the extent that cost reductions related to the merger are reflected in rates. The dates set forth in this Condition assume that the merger trarlsaction closes in 1999. If closing is delayed, ScottishPower and PacifiCorp may adjust the dates so that the merger credit begins as soon as practicable but not later than 30 days after the closing date. In the event that restructuring of the electricity business occurs in Idaho prior to the end of the four years for payments of the merger credit, the Commission shall determine at that time how the outstanding merger credit shall be paid. Any other terms recluirecl to implement this merger credit shall be included in the merger credit tariff for approval by the Commission.a No later than six months after the closing clate of the merger, ScottishPower and PacifiCorp shall provide, in the form of arr inlormational filing, a merger transition plan to the Comnrission.

REGULATION OF PACIFICORP AND SCOTNSHPOWER 21. To assign costs to PacifiCorp and amounts subject to allocation or direct charges, the Commission or its agents may audit the records of ScottishPower which are the basis for charges to PacifiCorp. ScottishPower will cooperate fully with such Cornmission audits.la 22. ScottishPower and PacifiCorp will provide the Commission access to all books of account, as well as all documents, data and records of their affiliated interests, which pertain to any transactions between PacifiCorp and its affiliated interests. 23. PacifiCorp will maintain its own accounting system, separate from ScottishPower's accounting system. All PacifiCorp financial books and records will be kept in Portland, Oregon, and will continue to be available to the Commission upon request at PacifiCorp's offices in Portland, Salt Lake City, Utah, and elsewhere in accordance with current practice. 24. ScottishPower and PacifiCorp will exclude all costs of the transaction from PacifiCorp's utility accounts. 25. PacifiCorp will maintain separate debt, and if outstanding, preferred stock ratings. 26. ScottishPower and PacifiCorp will provide the Commission with unrestricted access to all written information provided to common stock, bond, or bond rating analysts, which directly or indirectly pertains to PacifiCorp. 27. ScottishPower and PacifiCorp agree to comply with all existing Comrnission statutes and regulations regarding affiliated interest transactions, including timely filing of applications and reports. 28.

Provisions shall be provided for each of these diversified activities to fully separate accounting functions and to provide full cost allocations. This condition shall not prohibit the holding of diversified businesses and investments by affiliates of PacifiCorp, such as PacifiCorp Group Holdings Company. 34. On June 18, 1999, ScottishPower/PacifiCorp provided the Commission and other jurisdictional state rate regulators a proposed methodology for the allocation of corporate and affiliate investments, expenses, and overheads and a statement of where each of the ScottishPower principal corporate departments will sit in the corporate structure. This document would constitute a draft of what is to be filed regarding cost allocations with the Securities and Exchange Commission. On October 29, 1999, PacifiCorp/ ScottishPower scheduled a conference/meeting with state and other interested regulators to discuss the proposed corporate and affiliate cost allocation methodology. Further conferences/meetings will be scheduled as needed to discuss the cost allocation issue. 35. No later than 90 days after the closing date of the merger, ScottishPower/PacifiCorp shall file its proposed corporate and affiliate cost allocation methodology with the Securities and Exchange Commission, OFFER, and OFWA f. 36. Within 30 days of receiving all state, federal, and foreign regulatory approvals of the final corporate and affuliate cost allocation methodology, a written document setting fbrth the final corporate and affiliate cost methodology shall be submitted to the Commission and the Staff as a compliance filing related to this merger application.

Tr. p. 522. Green/Morris testified that ScottishPower will reduce corporate costs and overheads, where possible, by streamlining support functions and selectively eliminating redundant activities. 1'hey testified that ScottishPower will achieve efficiencies in operational costs by an amount greater than could be achieved by PacifiCorp. Moreover, ScottishPower proposes to increase overall system performance and to enhance customer service, that will, over the long-term, produce efficiencies and lower costs. Tr. p. 523. Green/Morris further testified that because of the merger, "the cost of PacifiCorp's borrowings can be expected to be lower after the transaction." Tr. p.524. This is because, given ScottishPower's financial strength, PacifiCorp should be viewed by risk analysts as being less risky for debt acquisition purposes. 1d Green/Morris contend that PacifiCorp will bear lower corporate costs than is currently the case. PacifiCorp will be assigned a fixed sum of corporate costs that is less than it currently incurs. In fact, by the end of the third year following the merger, ScottishPower expects to achieve approximately $ I 5 million of annual savings in corporate costs which, when offset by $5 million of associated cost increases, will produce a net reduction of $10 million annually in corporate costs. ScottishPower originally committed to reflecting this reduction in PacifiCorp's results of operation and, thus, in rates. 'lr. p.526.20 ScottishPower further commits to providing an analysis of its proposed allocation of corporate costs within three months of completion of the merger transaction.

This is because the costs incurred to transact the merger through closing will be booked "below the line" and customers will not pay these costs. Tr. p. 875. Attached to Carlock's testimony as Exhibit No. l0l are production request responses from ScottishPower assuring that merger costs and penalties paid if standards are not met will be recorded below the line and not paid by customers. Tr. p. 875. Operating efficiencies resulting from improvements implemented by ScottishPower will be reflected in the Company's actual costs. ScottishPower originally guaranteed operating efficiencies of at least $10 million annually on a system basis. If the minimum $10 million annual reduction is not achieved by the end of the third year, an amount equal to the difference between the $10 million and efficiencies actually achieved must be moved below the line to be absorbed by shareholders. Tr. pp.875-876.2t Annual report of efficiencies achieved must be provided to the Commission Staff to verify the savings along with an annual commission basis earnings report. ScottishPower has committed to provide these reports in a format similar to that currently used by the Company in the UK. The actual report format can be modified for additional information following the merger if the Commission so desires. Tr. p. 876. Moreover, Staff will audit the annual commission basis earnings report and file an audit report with the Commission. Thc results of this report can be used to determine if the efficiencies have been achieved. Il'not. the procedure and actual adjusting entries can then be determined. Staff believes that this guarantee and annual review process provide assurance that rates will not increase as a result of'tlre rnerger. 'l'r. p.876. 2t This cost savings grrarflnlee was eventually superseded by the nrerger rate credit proposed by tlte Cornpany. (Merger Approval Conditiorr No. 3)o OITDEI{ NO. 282I3 28 o o Staff is convinced that ScottishPower can achieve the efficiencies it has targeted based upon Staff s review of the Company's due diligence reports, disclosure letters, board meeting minutes, annual reports and statements of regulatory accounts, shareholder circulars, proxy statements and the production request responses in this case which reflect areas where efficiencies may be achieved. Staff believes that cost reductions or elimination of duplicate functions should occur in the areas of investor relations, shareholder services, corporate finance, corporate communications, legal services, corporate strategy, human resources and information technology. Tr. p. 878. 4. Solutia Solutia, which operates an elemental phosphorous plant near the city of Soda Springs and is a special contract customer of PacifiCorp, presented the testimony of Richard Anderson. Anderson testified that "the Applicants' filing fails to show that PacifiCorp ratepayers will gamer economic benefits resulting from proposed actions of ScottishPower." Tr. p. 682. He concludes that the merger violates the criteria of ldaho Code $ 61-328 because it "may have an adverse effect on the economic well-being of ratepayers by increasing economic risk of ratepayers without providing concomitant benefits of equalvalue." Tr. p. 682. Anderson contends that the estimated $10 million in cost savings that ScottishPower expects to achieve in reductions and corporate overhead is insignificant considering the size of the two companies. Tr. p. 687. He further questions the accuracy of the estimated $60 million in performance improventent benefits that ScottishPower expects to achieve. Tr. p. 688. Anderson disputes that ScottishPower will be able to implement the cost reductions at PacifiCorp that it achieved at ManWeb because the two utilities are significantly different. Anderson characterizes the potential fbr cost savings at PacifrCorp as "highly uncertain." "l'r. p.696. Anderson concludes that, if the Cornmission were to approve the merger. it shoulcl insist orr the fbllowing conditions: I . ScottishPower should be willing to back up its clainr ol'cost sarvings through a conrnritnrent to price stability or price reduction ovcr the colrrse of llve years. ScottishPower should be required to insulate the acquired conrpanies fionr the parent corporation. 2 o oRDt-tt NO.282r3 29 O o We find: It appears that, to some extent, the Irrigators and Solutia are operating under the misconception that ldaho law requires that PacifiCorp's rates must decrease as a condition of mergerapproval. As we stated earlier, this is an inaccurate interpretation of the clear letterof the law. PacifiCorp simply has the burden to establish that rates will not increase because of the merger. We find that: (l) even absent the commitment by the Joint Applicants, rates will not increase because of the merger, (Merger Approval Condition No. l), and; (2) absent the proposed rate credit (Merger Approval Condition No. 3), the standard in ldaho Code $ 61-328 pertaining to rates has been satisfied. ScottishPower and PacifiCorp enumerated a variety of means by which the Companies intend to reduce costs and, therefore, rates. This was corroborated by the Commission Staff. While a general fear of rate increases was expressed, there was no verifiable, quantifiable evidence presented that rates would go up due to the merger. Solutia and the Irrigators questioned the magnitude and timing of the estimated cost savings. This does not constitute a showing that rates will increase. We find that the Joint Applicants met their initial burden of proof and were never successfully refuted. Regardless, any doubt that might arguably have existed regarding this issue was definitively put to rest by the filing of the Joint Applicants' Notice of Merger Credit Commitment. As a final and irrefutable measure to ensure that rates will not increase as a result of the merger, we hereby impose the additional condition (Merger Approval Condition No. 2) that following the merger, PacifiCorp shall not seek a general rate increase effective prior to January 1,2002. This literally guarantees that PacifiCorp's customers will see an imnrediate rate reduction lasting at least 2 years through the combination of the merger rate credit and the moratorium on general rate increases imposed herein.22 This rate reductiorr would not have occurred absent tlre merger. There are other aspects of this issue, however, that warrant discr:ssion. l.egitinrate concerns were expressed by Solr-rtia, and others, regarding the need for ensuring that rates do not increase because of the nrerger. that PacifiCorp's customers not be required to pay lbr the merger 22'l-he rate creclit rvill be applied lbr four years. Our Order irnposes tlre additional condition of a rate troratoriunr lbr approxirnately nvo years. PaciliCorp is entitled to seek a rate increase to be ell'ective in year tlrree if it carr prove tltat its revelrue requirement is deflcierrt.o ORDER NO. 282 ri 3l a We find: Not only are PacifiCorp's hydro plants subject to sale or transfer approval pursuant to Idaho Cotle $ 61-328, but so are the water rights associated with those facilities because they are used in the generation of electric power and are considered real property. Therefore, before PacifiCorp or ScottishPower can sell or transfer water rights or the control thereof, they must request approval from this Commission pursuant lo ldaho Code $ 6l-328. In addition, in 1985 the Idaho Legislature enacted ldaho Code $ 6l-5028 which requires "the gain upon sale of a public utility's water right used for the generation of electricity shall accrue to the benefit of the ratepayers." Subsequent to the technical hearing, ScottishPower and PacifiCorp entered into two separate agreements pertaining to water rights associated with all of PacifiCorp's hydro facilities located in Idaho. The first such agreement, executed on October 5, 1999, pertains to the Company's Bear River/Bear Lake facilities and water rights. The parties to the agreement include ScottishPower, PacifiCorp, the State of Idaho (through the Department of Water Resources), the State of Utah (through the Division of Water Resources) and the State of Wyoming (through the State Engineer). The five page agreement, which we have reviewed and hereby take official notice of pursuant to Rule 263 of the Commission's Rules of Procedure (IDAPA 3 I .01 .01 .263), was executed in recognition of concerns expressed regarding PacifiCorp's water rights and the effect the proposed merger might have on them. Paragraph "B" of the "Recitals" section of the Agreerrient states: The Parties recognize the need lo assLrre the public utility commissions of the states of ldaho, Utah, and Wyonrirrg. and the other public officials and water users of the three States that PacifiCorp's merger with ScottishPower will not affbct tlie operation ol'the Bear River System or PacifiCorp's ownership or exercise ol'its Bear Iliver water rights. The Parties further agree tltat: a. PacifiCorp's water rights arc constrained by the historic practice of not making a delivery call lbr hl,clropower generation; and b. Bear Lake is operated. consistent rvith lorrg-standing historic practice and applicable laws. prinrarilv as a storage reservoir to satisly contracts fbr existing irrigation uses arrcl flood control needs in the three States, with the use ol'water fbr hyclropower generation being incidental to the othcr purposcs lirr which tlre water is being released. o o ORDER NO. 2821 3 -51 o The Parties also agree to 'Jointly negotiate an enforceable Bear River Systern Operations Agreement consistent with the Iforegoing provisions]." On October 22, 1999, ScottishPower and PacifiCorp executed a "Memorandum of Agreement Regarding Ashton-St. Anthony Projects" with the State of Idaho through the Department of Water Resources. Pursuant to Procedural Rule 263, we hereby take official notice of this agreement as well. Like the Bear River Agreement, the Ashton-St. Anthony Memorandum recognizes the public need for stability of water rights. To that end, the Memorandum provides that "the water rights presently owned by PacifiCorp on the North Fork (Henry's Fork) of the Snake River must continue to be used consistent with historical practices." In furtherance of this, PacifiCorp and ScottishPower agree that their water rights on the Snake River are constrained by a Contract executed September 28, 1935 between the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, Fremont-Madison Irrigation Disrict, City of Idaho Falls, and Utah Power and Light Company. PacifiCorp and ScottishPower further agree that PacifiCorp's rights to the use of water for power generation are incidental to the rights to the use of water for other purposes, except for junior water rights for hydropower generation. One need not look far for evidence of the importance that water has to southern Idahoans. This issue, had it not been successfully resolved by the Joint Applicants, could well have been a stumbling block in satisfying the public interest criterion of ldaho Code $61-328. As it is, the Joint Applicants have done a comnrendable job of ensuring that the status quo regarding water riglrts will be maintained and the public interest preserved. The undisputed evidence presented in this case establishes that the merger will not affect the legal stallrs of the water rights currently held by PacifiCorp. ScottishPower will assume ownersliip of those rights (by virtue of its ownership ol'PacifiCorp) sub.iect to all the limitations, conditions, and relative priorities that they now possess. Furthermore. we are legally prohibited liont taking any action involving an electric utility's failure to protect its watcr rights lionr jurrior appropriators. lduho C'orle I 61-539. Tltus, we find that the state agencies chargecl with the responsibility to oversee water rights have adequately protected the interests of'the people of this state. 'l'he Agreenrents cntered into recently by the.loint Applicants enslrre that the public interest. as it pertains to watcr ri-ehts, will not be adversely aflected because of tlic ntcrgcr. o o ORDhll NO. 2821i 52 , Avlata Gorp. 141 1 East Mlssion P.O.

D2017.9.71 ORDER NO. 7577a FINAL ORDER PROCEDURAL HISTORY L On Septernber 14,2017, Avista Corporation and Hydro One Limited ("Applicants") filed an application with thc Montana hrblic Service Comrnission ("Commission") for authorization of the proposed sale and transfer of Avista Corporation ("Application"). 2. On September27,2017, the Commission issued a Notice of Application and lntervention Deadline, establishing October 19,2017, as the deadline to intervene with the Application. On November 9, 2017, the Commission issued a Notice of Staff Action granting intervention to the Montana Consumer Counsel (*MCC"). 3 . On Novemb er 27 ,2017, the Comrnission issued Procedural Order 7577, which established a variety of deadlines for this docket, including a deadline for the Commission to identiS additional issues. On April 21,2018, the Commission issued a Notice of Additional Issues which required the Applicants to supplement their Application with infonnation on whether the transaction, the potential regulatory conditions associated with it, or the finalized depreciation study regarding Avista's Colstrip generation assets will detrimentally irnpact Montana-sited resources. The Comrnission provided a further opportunity for parties to intervene regarding the additionalissues, and on March 19,2018, the Commission granted intervention to the Montana AFL-CIO and the City of Colstrip ("Colstrip'). 4. On May 15,2018, the Commission received a Notice of Settlement from the Applicants and the City of Colstrip ("Settlement"). Under the tenns of the Settlement, Avista has o o o O DOCKET NO. D2017.9.71, ORDER NO. 7577a 2 agreed, among other things, to provide Colstrip with an additional $1.5 million to the $3 million already committed to the Applicant's Montana Comrnunity Transition Fund. Mem. of Agreement by and among City of Colstrip, Avista Corp. and Hydro One Limited (May 15, 20r 8). 5. The Comnrission held a public hearing on May 17,2018, to receive evidence on the Application and the Settlenrent. 'fhe Comrnission received a comment of support for the Application frorn the Montana Charnber of Commerce on May 18, 2018. 6. During a regularly scheduled work session on June 12,2018, the Cornmission approved the Application, as discussed below. LEGAL STANDARD 7. In evaluating sale and transfer applications, the Comrnission has historically used three standards: the public interest standard, the no-harm to consumers standard, and the net- benefits standard. In re Babcock & Brou'n Infrastructure Ltd., Docket D2006.6.82, Order 6754c 1[35 (Aug, 1,2007).ln examining these standards, the Comrnission has stated: It may be impossible to enunciate a general standard that is applicable in all cases. For example, if the Commission were faced with the sale of a public utility that was not providing adequate service, it would be appropriate for the Commission to apply a net benellt standard that assured customers would receive adequate service. In another case, a utility may be providing adequate service but just rates for the potential acquirer may be higher than cumently charged. In such a situation, it would be appropriate for the Commission to apply a no-harm to consumers standard. td 8. The Cornmission has recently applied all three standards in sale and transfer dockets. ln re Gas Natural, /nc,, Docket D2016.11.91, Order 7534e 'l[20 (Jul. 20,2017); In re Cur Bank Gos Co., Docket D2008.3.27, Order 6907b 't[20 [NIov. 2,2009). The Montana Consumer Counsel has requested the Cornmissior, again apply all three standards in this proceeding. Hr'g Tr.19:14-21 ("1 would simply urge the commission to once again articulate all three ofthese standards in its final order in this case, and to recognize again that any or all of these standards could be applied in future merger and acquisition proceedings."). 9. The Comrnission acknowledges this Application presents different concenrs from a typical sale and transfer application. See , e.g., In re Mounlain llqter Co., Docket D2016.2.15, Order 7475ifln29-38,48 (May 31,2016) (for Montana's largest regulated water utility, the I a DOCKET NO. D2017.9.71, ORDER NO. 7577a o Commission imposed a lower cost of debt within the utility's revenue requirement due to the new upstream owners' lower cost of debt); In re Babcock & Broy'n Infi'astructure Ltd,,llfl l4+ 152 (for Montana's largest regulated utility, the Commission denied Babcock & Brown's application to purchase NorthWestern, in part, over concerns of the proposed acquisition premium and how Babcock & Brown would recover these costs): In re Gas Natural, Inc.,\ 12 (for a utility with a history of debt management difficulties, the Commission approved the application finding the ultimate acquircr, BlackRock Inc., is "a financially strong enterprise with more than $5 trillion of assets under management" and "is the largest utility investor in the U.S., with substantial knowledge grading utility operations and regulation and a reputation for supporting sound r.rtility management and financing.") 10. In contrast, Avista has only 32 retail electric customers and Avista rarely comes before the Commission with any applications, including rate increases, due to its srnall Montana- jurisdictional customer base. See In re Avista, Docket D2010.11107, Order 7130a(Apr.27, 201 l) (Avista's last late case before this Commission, who prior to then had not been before the Commission since 1986). As a result, a traditional examination of this sale and transfer is not appropriate.' Instead, the Commission examines this transaction under the public interest standard focusing on the potential impacts on electric generation as a whole in Montana. Sea, e.g., In re Cheyenne Light Fuel and Pov,er Cb,, Consolidated Dockets 20003-EA-04-75 and 30005-GA-04-97,2004 Wyo. PUC LEXIS 292,*43 (Aug. 26, 2004) (after finding, in par1, that there "is no evidence befbre us that any other utility or its customers in Wyoming would be I The record, as presented to the Commission, likely fails to satisff the net benefits and no-harn to customers standards. The economies of scale and synergies of managemcnt which the Applicants argue support approval are neither identified nor quantified. SeeApplication ll 25. The only potentially tangible economy of scale identified- Hydro One's S40 rnillion Move-to-Mobile technology-is not supported by evidence that it can, in fact, be shared with Avista. Hr'g Tr. 87. Additionally, the benefit to Monlana customers is de ninimis. This transaction will not provide Montana customers with short-term rate reduction benefits, as the Applicatrts state it is cost-prohibitive to comnrit a total proportional rate credit of $190 for Montana customers. Appl. App. 8, Commitnrent 18, Hr'g. Tr. 202. Neither will this Transaction significantly affect the services received by Montana customers, as the Applicants repeatedly state that services rvill remain essentiallythe same post-closing. See generally Appl.T l8 ("All olthese features together with other provisions embedded within the Merger Agreement are designed to ensure that Avista's customers will continue to receive the service they have come to expect from a company that has been a Pacific Nonhwest presence for rnore than I 00 years."). Regardless, the intervening parties did not contest these issues and the Cornnrission did not raise these issues through the additional issue process. The Commission accordingly applies the public interest standard to this case and declines to thoroughly examine the no harnr to custotners and net benefits test in this case. ln luture sale and h'ansfer applications, the Cornmission may continue to apply all three standards.

Washington St. Boise, Idaho 83702 Re: Case Nos. AVU-E-17-09 and AVU-G-17-05 Dear Commissioners, I am writing to update you regarding discussions between the ldaho Department of Water Resources (*IDWR") and Avista Corporation ("Avista"). Since early 2018, IDWR and Avista have been discussing Avista's water right claims in the Coeur d'Alene-Spokane River Basin Adjudication ('tSRBA"). The main focus of our discussions has been Avista's hydropower water rights at the three dams and power plant at Post Falls ("Post Falls dam"). The State of ldaho has a history of disputes over hydropower water rights. The Swan Falls controversy of the early 1980s involving Idaho Power's hydropower water rights at Swan Falls dam led to the commencement of the Snake River Basin Adjudication ('SRBA") in 19E7. Litigation in the SRBA related to ldaho Power's Swan Falls water rights did not conclude until 2012. A main reason for engaging with Avista early in the CSRBA was to avoid extended litigation over Avista's hydropower water rights, especially over the issue of subordination to existing and future water rights. In July of 201 8, IDWR was notified of rhe Joint Application for an Order Authorizing Proposed Transaction ("Joint Application") filed with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission ('PUC") by Avista and Hydro One Limited ("Hydro One"). The Joint Application sought the PUC's approval of a planned merger between Avista and Hydro One pursuant to Idaho Code $ 6l-328. Immediately, IDWR was concerned the merger would disrupt the adjudication claim discussions and might impede or prevent resolution of the issues. Furthermore, IDWR was concerned the merger could result in a change in the use of water authorized by Avista's hydropower water rights. To ensure that the public interest, as it pertains to Avisk's use of water under its hydropower water rights, would not be adversely affected, IDWR moved to intervene in the PUC proceeding. The PUC subsequently granted IDWR's petition to intervene. While IDWR's petition to intervene was pending before the PUC, IDWR and Avista continued discussing Avista's hydropower water rights at Post Falls dam. We are pleased to inform you that IDWR and Avista reached an agreement that addresses IDWR's concerns. Specifrcally, IDWR and Avista have lD\ n Exhibil No. 901 Case Nos. AVU-E-1 7-09/AVU-G-1 7-05 S.

IDWR and Avista have agreed that Avista's water right claim nos. 954518, 95-91 15, and 95-91 l9 shall be recommended in the CSRBA with the following subordination language: The use of waler confirmed in this right shall be junior and subordinale to permits, licenses, or decrees for all uses within the State of ldaho with a priority date of, or earlier than, July 25, 2018, diverted upstream from all three points of diversion for this right. The use of water confirmed in this right shall be junior and subordinate to permits, licenses, or decrees for all uses, except for permits. licenses, or decrees for irrigation storage or power purposes, within the State of ldaho with a priority date later than July 25,2018, diverted upstream from all three points of diversion for this right. The use of water confirmed in this right shall not be subordinate to permits. license, or decrees within the State of ldaho diverted downstream from all three points of diversion for this right. The agreement ensures thrt the public interest, as it relates to Avista's water use pumuant to its water rights, will not be adversely affected by the proposed transrction between Avistr and Hydro One. The agreement safeguards existing and future water users from changes in historical operations, helps protect the summer lake level of Coeur d'Alene Lake, and supports the ongoing operations of Post Falls dam in a manner consistent with prior agreements and the ldaho Department of Environmental Quality 40 I Certification. A copy of the agreement between IDWR and Avista is attached to this letter. To ensure documentation of the agreement before the PUC, IDWR requests that if the PUC approves the pending transaction between Avista and Hydro One, the PUC include the agreement as an attachment or exhibit to any such order so that the resolution ofthis issue is documented in the order.
