Also enclosed are four (4) confidential disks containing information being produced in response to Exergy's Sixth Production Request. Please handle the enclosed confidential information in accordance with the Protective Agreement executed in this matter. Very truly yours, Jason B. Williams JBW:kkt Enclosures DONOVAN E. WALKER (ISB No. 5921) JASON B. WILLIAMS (ISB No. 8718) Idaho Power Company 1221 West Idaho Street (83702) P.O.

CASE NO. GNR-E-11-03 IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE SIXTH PRODUCTION REQUEST OF EXERGY DEVELOPMENT GROUP OF IDAHO TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY COMES NOW, Idaho Power Company ("Idaho Power" or "Company"), and in response to the Sixth Production Request of Exergy Development Group of Idaho ("Exergy") to Idaho Power Company dated July 6, 2012, herewith submits the following information: IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE SIXTH PRODUCTION REQUEST OF EXERGY DEVELOPMENT GROUP OF IDAHO 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. RESPONSE 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 ("PURPA") Qualifying Facilities ("QF") 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 the 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. Notwithstanding and without waiving Idaho Power's objection to this Request, please see the confidential attachments provided on the confidential CD which include facilities studies going back to 1998 describing the required network transmission system upgrades for PURPA QFs connecting to Idaho Power's electrical system. The confidential CD will be provided to those parties that have signed the Protective Agreement in this proceeding. The response to this Request was prepared by Tessia Park, Director of Load Serving Operations, Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Jason B. Williams, Corporate Counsel, Idaho Power Company. IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE SIXTH PRODUCTION REQUEST OF EXERGY DEVELOPMENT GROUP OF IDAHO TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY -2 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 60: Ms. Parks [sic] then states on page 13 of her rebuttal testimony, in reference to the PURPA caused transmission system upgrades, "Because these system upgrades do not serve any other purpose or need required to provide serve [sic] to Idaho Power's customers, it would be [sic] not be appropriate to require customers to pay for interconnection and transmission system upgrades that are not needed to serve load." (a)Please provide all work papers and supporting documents relied upon by Ms. Parks [sic] supporting the assertion that "these system upgrades do not serve any other purpose." (b)Does Idaho Power grant Us paying for such upgrades the exclusive use for such facilities? RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 60: (a)Idaho Power did not rely on any specific workpapers or supporting documents besides the Company's Integrated Resource Plan ("IRP") which provides the portfolio that Idaho Power utilizes to meet its future expected load. In the IRP, Idaho Power identifies resources and the transmission upgrades required to deliver those resources to load. QF resources are developed outside the IRP process, and as Idaho Power has no control over the dispatch, deliverability, timing, or location at which a QF project delivers energy, additional transmission required to deliver this energy to load is duplicative and customers should not have to pay for the required additional transmission. (b)No. The response to this Request was prepared by Tessia Park, Director of Load Serving Operations, Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Donovan E. Walker, Lead Counsel, Idaho Power Company. IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE SIXTH PRODUCTION REQUEST OF EXERGY DEVELOPMENT GROUP OF IDAHO TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY -3 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 61: At page 6 of Mr. Stokes' rebuttal testimony he states: "historically there has been a significant difference between the prices paid to QF resources on Idaho Power's system and the Mid-C market index." Please explain the relationship, as Mr. Stokes' understands it, between the Mid-C market index and avoided cost rates. Please explain whether Idaho Power can secure a twenty year strip of electricity at Idaho Power's forecasted Mid-C market price index. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 61: The following is taken directly from page 7 of Mr. M. Mark Stokes' rebuttal testimony: "While the Mid-C index does not represent an avoided cost rate, it does highlight the harm done to Idaho Power's customers when Idaho Power has excess QF energy which must be sold into the market at a substantial loss." The differential between QF avoided cost rates and the Mid-C market index indicates Idaho Power could purchase electricity from the market for substantially less than what it is required to pay for QF generation. Idaho Power's merchant trading group indicates that long-term, firm purchase contracts at current forward prices are readily available out to 2020. Longer contract terms, as long as 20 years, could likely be executed or at least hedged, but it would require contacting and negotiating with specific counterparties. The response to this Request was prepared by M. Mark Stokes, Power Supply Planning Manager, Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Donovan E. Walker, Lead Counsel, Idaho Power Company. IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE SIXTH PRODUCTION REQUEST OF EXERGY DEVELOPMENT GROUP OF IDAHO TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY -4 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 62: Please identify the estimated levelized cost approved by the Commission when it issued the order for approval/construction of each resource Idaho Power has built and placed into ratebase since PURPA was first adopted. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 62: The Company is unaware of any time when the Commission has approved an estimated levelized cost in an order issued for approval/construction of any resource the Company has built and placed into rate base since PURPA was first adopted. The response to this Request was prepared by M. Mark Stokes, Power Supply Planning Manager, Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Donovan E. Walker, Lead Counsel, Idaho Power Company. IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE SIXTH PRODUCTION REQUEST OF EXERGY DEVELOPMENT GROUP OF IDAHO TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY -5 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 63: Please reference Mr. Stokes' rebuttal testimony page 19 beginning on line 20 through page 20 end line 29 Mr. Stokes. Please specifically identify what it is in Staff witness Sterling's direct testimony that is being rebutted in this passage. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 63: The referenced passage, extended through page 21 line 8, shows that although Staff is supportive of Idaho Power's proposed Hourly Incremental Cost methodology, they continue to support the use of the Surrogate Avoided Resource ("SAR") model for the calculation of published rates. Idaho Power believes the Hourly Incremental Cost methodology should be used to establish both published and negotiated avoided cost rates. The response to this Request was prepared by M. Mark Stokes, Power Supply Planning Manager, Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Donovan E. Walker, Lead Counsel, Idaho Power Company. IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE SIXTH PRODUCTION REQUEST OF EXERGY DEVELOPMENT GROUP OF IDAHO TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY -6 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 64: At page 23 of his rebuttal testimony, Mr. Stokes states that "if [sic] the capital and fixed costs of an SCCT were used to determine the capacity portion of the avoided cost rate. The energy component would still require using the heat rate and other variable operations and maintenance assumptions appropratiate [sic] for a CCCT." What is the source of the 'requirement' that a CCCT heat rate be used when the SAR is a SCCT. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 64: The quoted testimony states, "The energy component would still require. . . ." (Emphasis added.) The intent of proposing that an SCCT be used in the SAR model would be for the avoided cost of capacity to be based on the capital cost of an SCCT, while the avoided cost of energy would continue to be based on the operating costs of a CCCT. The response to this Request was prepared by M. Mark Stokes, Power Supply Planning Manager, Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Donovan E. Walker, Lead Counsel, Idaho Power Company. IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE SIXTH PRODUCTION REQUEST OF EXERGY DEVELOPMENT GROUP OF IDAHO TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY -7 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 65: At page 39 of his rebuttal testimony, Mr. Stokes makes reference to the IRP Advisory Council. Please provide all documents relating to the selection of the current IRP Advisory Council. Are the council members provided with independent, technical staff? RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 65: No documents exist related to the selection of the IRP Advisory Council ("Council") with the exception of the list of current members listed below that participated in the preparation of the 2011 IRP: Customer ReDresentatives Agricultural Representative.............................. Boise State University..................................... Heinz Frozen Foods....................................... INL.............................................................

Idaho Power strives to maintain a balance on the Council between the interests of all the different stakeholders. In the next few weeks the Company expects to finalize the Council membership for its 2013 IRP which begins with the first Council meeting on August 16, 2012. IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE SIXTH PRODUCTION REQUEST OF EXERGY DEVELOPMENT GROUP OF IDAHO TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY -8 No, the Council members are not provided with independent technical staff. The response to this Request was prepared by M. Mark Stokes, Power Supply Planning Manager, Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Donovan E. Walker, Lead Counsel, Idaho Power Company. IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE SIXTH PRODUCTION REQUEST OF EXERGY DEVELOPMENT GROUP OF IDAHO TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY -9 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 66: On page 46 of his rebuttal testimony Mr. Stokes states that "The Commission has specifically found this [liquidated damages] requirement to be in the public interest and a just and reasonable requirement of the contracting process." Please provide copies of, or citations to, where the Commission "specifically" made those findings. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 66: Please See Idaho Power's Legal Brief filed in this proceeding on July 20, 2012, pp. 27-32. Delay liquidated damages provisions have been included in PURPA FESA contracts approved by the Commission since at least 2007. See, Case No. IPC-E-06- 36. In addition, one of the first Commission approved FESAs to contain terms requiring the project to post liquid security was the FESA for Cassia Gulch Wind Park and Tuana Springs Energy, Case No. IPC-E-09-24. In that case the Commission approved provisions requiring the posting of liquid security in the amount of $20 per kW of project capacity. The Commission considered and approved provisions providing for the posting of liquid security in the amount of $20 per kW of project capacity in at least four other PURPA FESAs. See, Case No. IPC-E-09-18, IPC-E-09-19, IPC-E- 09-20, IPC-E-09-25. The Commission has since analyzed and approved provisions requiring the posting of liquid security in the amount of $45 per kW of nameplate capacity in at least twenty-seven different PURPA FESAs. See, Case No. IPC-E-10-02, IPC-E-10-05, IPC-E-10-15, IPC-E-10-16, IPC-E-1 0-17, IPC-E-10-1 8, IPC-E-1 0-19, IPC-E-1 0-22, IPC- E-1 0-26, IPC-E-1 0-37, IPC-E-1 0-38, IPC-E-1 0-39, IPC-E-1 0- 40, I PC-E-1 0-41, I PC-E-1 0-42, I PC-E-1 0-43, I PC-E-1 0-44, IPC-E-1 0-45, IPC-E-1 0-47, IPC-E-1 0-48, IPC-E-1 0-49, IPC- E-1 0-50, IPC-E-1 1-09, IPC-E-1 1-10, IPC-E-1 1-25, IPC-E-1 1- 26, and IPC-E-11-27. In approving the change in the amount of delay damage security that is acceptable for such contracts from $20 to $45 per kW of nameplate capacity, the Commission specifically found such delay security to be reasonable, necessary, and not to be punitive. Order No. 31034, p. 3-4, Case No. IPC-E-10-02 (2010). Idaho Power's Legal Brief, Case No. GNR-E-1 1-03, pp. 27-28. The response to this Request was prepared by Donovan E. Walker, Lead Counsel, Idaho Power Company. IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE SIXTH PRODUCTION REQUEST OF EXERGY DEVELOPMENT GROUP OF IDAHO TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY -10 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 67: At page 47 of his rebuttal testimony Mr. Stokes, speaking of liquidated damages states that, "In addition to the system operation and planning problems that failure to bring generation units online in a timely manner and when they are scheduled to come on line, there is the substantial value that the QF gets by locking in a price, and a pricing stream with a [sic] contract." Please quantify and specify each system operation and planning problem Mr. Stokes is referring to and please specify and quantify the damage incurred by Idaho Power when a QF locks in a price. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 67: As dictated by Idaho Power's Risk Management Policy, the Company routinely buys and sells electricity as much as 18 months in advance of the month that it is needed (bought) or not needed (sold). The amounts that are bought and sold are based on the overall portfolio position (surplus/deficit) that includes Company-owned resources and QF contracts. When a QF resource fails to come on-line by the Scheduled Operation Date, Idaho Power would replace this energy by making a market purchase, assuming transmission capacity is available to get the energy to Idaho Power's system. Because the transaction is done closer to real time, market prices can be higher than they would have been had Idaho Power been able to execute the transaction earlier in time. There is also the possibility that market prices will be lower than the QF contract price, which is typically the current situation if Idaho Power is able to buy energy from the Mid-C market. If transmission capacity is not available from the Pacific Northwest, the energy must be bought from the east side of the Company's system where market liquidity is an issue and prices are usually higher. IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE SIXTH PRODUCTION REQUEST OF EXERGY DEVELOPMENT GROUP OF IDAHO TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY -11 Regardless of whether market prices are higher or lower than prices contained in a QF contract, Idaho Powers customers end up assuming the risk associated with the uncertainty. There is value associated with reducing or eliminating risk even if the potential positive and negative outcomes are evenly split. A fixed rate QF contract eliminates this risk for the QF developer and pushes it entirely onto Idaho Power's customers. The following is taken from the rebuttal testimony of Mr. Stokes and explains the value or cost associated with this risk: "There are financial instruments that can be purchased that would allow a utility to lock in a 20-year, or long-term, stream of prices, and have the option to not execute on that option at a date certain in the future. Such products are very costly, and could be as much as $5 per MWh of power." Stokes Rebuttal Testimony, p. 47, II. 13-18 (emphasis added). The financial instrument referenced above would be a "put" option. It is important to note the emphasized section of the passage above in that a put option allows a party to not execute on the option if conditions are not favorable for the option holder. PURPA developers have argued that QF contracts provide the benefit of cost certainty for a utility. However, a QF contract clearly does not provide the benefit of an option to the utility as described above as the utility does not have the option to not take and pay for the energy. A QF contract does provide the QF developer the benefit of a guaranteed minimum price for their energy (put option) in a falling price market while providing the utility no price protection in a rising price environment. The value QF developers receive and the cost to customers of providing this option could be as much as $5 per megawatt-hour, as stated in rebuttal testimony. IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE SIXTH PRODUCTION REQUEST OF EXERGY DEVELOPMENT GROUP OF IDAHO TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY -12 Liquidated damages calculated at $45 per kilowatt of nameplate capacity is very small in comparison, but at least provides an agreed upon valuation of an assessment of risk that the customers are bearing associated with whether a QF generator brings its project on-line when it commits that it will. The response to this Request was prepared by M. Mark Stokes, Power Supply Planning Manager, Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Donovan E. Walker, Lead Counsel, Idaho Power Company.
