CASE NO. GNR-E-11-03 IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S OBJECTION TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 59 OF EXERGY DEVELOPMENT GROUP OF IDAHO'S SIXTH PRODUCTION REQUEST TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY COMES NOW, Idaho Power Company ("Idaho Power') and objects to Request for Production No. 59 of Exergy Development Group of Idaho's Sixth Production Request to Idaho Power Company dated July 6, 2012, as follows: IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S OBJECTION TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 59 OF EXERGY DEVELOPMENT GROUP OF IDAHO'S SIXTH PRODUCTION REQUEST TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY -1 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 59: At page 13 of her rebuttal testimony, Ms. Parks [sic] states, "As a result of the large amount of PURPA requests on Idaho Power's system, the Company has to complete interconnection and transmission system upgrades that it otherwise would not need to serve load." Please identify all network transmission system upgrades paid for, in full or in part, by PURPA QFs on Idaho Power's transmission system. Please provide maps and studies and all work papers and supporting documents used preparing your response. OBJECTION TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 59: Idaho Power objects to this Request on the grounds of relevance. The network transmission upgrades paid for, in full or in part, by Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 Qualifying Facilities on Idaho Power's transmission system bears no relevance on the issues presented in this case and therefore are irrelevant in this proceeding. Idaho Power also objects to this Request on grounds that the requested material is overly broad and unduly burdensome. Idaho Power further objects to this Request on the grounds that some of the material sought is or may be privileged and protected by the attorney-client privilege and/or the attorney work-product doctrine. The response to this Request was prepared by Jason B. Williams, Corporate Counsel, Idaho Power Company. DATED at Boise, Idaho, this 20th day of July 2012. JASJJ B.
