REQUEST NO. 69: What is the average length of a Service Drop for
Irrigation customers?
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 69: Please refer to Idaho Power
Company s Response to Idaho Irrigation Pumpers Association s Second Data Request
Request No. 44(c).
The response to this request was prepared by Maggie Brilz, Director of
Pricing, Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Barton L. Kline, Senior Attorney,
Idaho Power Company.

IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO IDAHO IRRIGATION
PUMPERS ASSOCIATION'S FIFTH DATA REQUEST Page 3
The response to this request was prepared under the direction of Maggie
Brilz , Director of Pricing, Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Barton L. Kline
Senior Attorney, Idaho Power Company.
REQUEST NO. 72: Based upon the meter costs from workpaper 16
provided by Brilz and the number of customers on workpaper 28 provided by Brilz, it
can be calculated that the average cost of a meter for Schedule 24 is $425 while it is
$139 for Schedule 7. Both schedules are metered at secondary voltage and both
schedules basically provide 3-phase service. Why is there such a difference in the
average cost of meters for two rate schedules that are similar?
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 72: The difference between the average
meter cost for a Schedule 7 customer and a Schedule 24 customer is directly related to
the specific type of meter required for the service provided , the phase configuration of
the meter required , and the capacity and voltage requirements of the installed meter.
Type of Meter. Service provided under Schedule 7 does not include a
billing demand. Therefore, there is no requirement to measure kW for Schedule 7
customers. Consequently, a watt-hour meter is the standard meter installation for
Schedule 7 service. Service provided under Schedule 24 does include a billing
demand. Therefore, a meter capable of recording kW in addition to kWh is required for
all Schedule 24 customers (with the exception of single motor installations of 5
horsepower or less). Consequently, a demand meter is the standard meter installation
for Schedule 24 service.
Service Phase . Schedule 7 service is commonly provided at single-
phase. Approximately 77% of the Schedule 7 installations are single-phase service.
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO IDAHO IRRIGATION
PUMPERS ASSOCIATION'S FIFTH DATA REQUEST Page 4
Schedule 24 service, however, is commonly provided at three-phase. Only about 18%
of the Schedule 24 installations are single-phase with the remaining 82% of installations
receiving three-phase service.
Meter Capacity. Schedule 7 is available to customers with energy
consumption of 3 000 kWh or less per month. Because of the low consumption
threshold for Schedule 7 service , meters with significantly less capacity than those
required for Schedule 24 service are typically installed. Approximately 22% of the
irrigation service installations require current transformer (CT) metering in order to
accommodate the higher capacity requirements at the service point. CT metering is
installed for only about 4% of Schedule 7 installations.
Meter Voltaqe . Both Schedule 7 and Schedule 24 service is
provided at what is typically classified as secondary voltage. However, the typical
voltage for a Schedule 7 installation is 120/240 volt single-phase while the typical
voltage for a Schedule 24 installation is 480 volt three-phase.
The response to this request was prepared under the direction of Maggie
Brilz, Director of Pricing, Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Barton L. Kline
Senior Attorney, Idaho Power Company.
REQUEST NO. 73: If the meter types, sizes , and capacity ranges are
different for Schedule 7 and 24 , please list for each rate schedule the number of meters
represented by each type, size, and capacity range.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 73: The requested information is
enclosed with this response.

REQUEST NO. 74: The historical monthly data regarding Account 500
expenses provided in response to Irrigation Request #2 indicates that there was what
would appear to have been correction(s) made in FERC August 2001 where a negative
value is recorded. With respect to the August 2001 entry for Account 500, please break
down the reason for any correction(s) , the amount of any correct(s) and the month(s) for
which the correction(s) is being made.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 74: The credit amount in FERC account
500 in August 2001 results from a credit entry in the amount of ($92,492.64) in account
500002 for the Boardman plant. This entry is not a correction; it is the net effect of the
reversal of the previous month's estimate of operation expenses at Boardman that was
booked to account 500002 offset by the actual charges for the previous month and the
estimate of expenses for the current month. The dollar amounts of these various
entries are: (1) the actual charges for the month of July 2001 in the amount of
$45 107.36 (a debit to account 500002); (2) the reversal of the estimate of July
expenses in the amount of $234 000.00 (a credit to account 500002), and (3) an
estimate of August expenses of $96,400.00 (a debit to account 500002). The process
of estimating and then reversing that estimate in the following mC?nth is described in
detail in the Company s response to Idaho Irrigation Pumpers Association Second Data
Request, Question 21.

The response to this request was prepared by Darrell R. Tomlinson
Finance Team Leader, Financial Research/Support, Idaho Power Company, in
consultation with Barton L. Kline , Senior Attorney, Idaho Power Company.
REQUEST NO. 75: The historical monthly data regarding Account 500
expenses provided in response to Irrigation Request #2 indicates that there was what
would appear to have been correction(s) made in January and February 2001. With
respect to the January and February 2001 entries for FERC Account 500, please break
down the reason for any correction(s), the amount of any correct(s) and the month(s) for
which the correction(s) is being made.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 75: No corrections or entries of an
unusual nature were made in the months of January and February 2001 to FERC
account 500.
The response to this request was prepared by Darrell R. Tomlinson
Finance Team Leader, Financial Research/Support, Idaho Power Company, in
consultation with Barton L. Kline , Senior Attorney, Idaho Power Company.
REQUEST NO. 76: The historical monthly data regarding subaccount
505003 expenses provided in response to Irrigation Request #2 indicates that there was
what would appear to have been correction(s) made in April 2002. With respect to the
April 2002 entry for subaccount 505003 , please break down the reason for any
correction(s), the amount of any correct(s) and the month(s) for which the correction(s)
is being made.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 76: No correction was made in April
2002. The negative entry in account 505003 is the result of allocations of administrative
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO IDAHO IRRIGATION
PUMPERS ASSOCIATION'S FIFTH DATA REQUEST Page 7
and general costs as billed by Sierra Pacific (operator of the Valmy plant) to all of the
operation & maintenance accounts , one of which contained a large correcting entry
affecting all accounts. Without this allocation , the charges to account 505003 would
have been $136 668.18 for the month of April 2002.
The response to this request was prepared by Darrell R. Tomlinson
Finance Team Leader, Financial Research/Support, Idaho Power Company, in
consultation with Barton L. Kline , Senior Attorney, Idaho Power Company.
REQUEST NO. 77: With respect to subaccount 505001 , please explain
why this subaccount was discontinued in 1999 and what happened to the expenses that
would have normally been recorded in that subaccount.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 77: Idaho Power bases its thermal plant
0 & M expense entries on the charges as received from the operating partner of the
thermal plants. The charges to account 505001 are based on the billings received from
PacifiCorp as operator of the Jim Bridger power plant. In late 1998 , PacifiCorp changed
its accounting procedures to discontinue charges to accounts 505 and 511. The
expenses that would have been charged to these accounts are now going to other
operating and maintenance accounts within the 500 - 514 account series.
The response to this request was prepared by Darrell R. Tomlinson
Finance Team Leader, Financial Research/Support, Idaho Power Company, in
consultation with Barton L. Kline, Senior Attorney, Idaho Power Company.
REQUEST NO. 78: From the Company s response to Irrigator Request 2
it can be calculated that Account 510 (Maintenance Supervision) expense for Boardman
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO IDAHO IRRIGATION
PUMPERS ASSOCIATION'S FIFTH DATA REQUEST Page 8
averages about 6 times greater than for Bridger. Please explain why these expenses for
Boardman run so high.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 78: Your assumption of higher
Boardman operating expenses in incorrect. Idaho Power bases its thermal plant 0 & m
expense entries on the charges as received from the operating partner of the thermal
plants. The charges to account 510002 are based on the billings received from
Portland General Electric as operator of the Boardman power plant. In March 1997
Portland General Electric changed its accounting procedures to discontinue charging to
accounts 502 , 505 , 511 , 512 and 513. The expenses that would have been charged to
these accounts are now going to accounts 500 , 506 , 510 and 514. Therefore, the
charges to account 510 for Boardman would be based on the same activities that drive
the charges to accounts 510, 511 , 512 and 513 at the Jim Bridger plant.
The response to this request was prepared by Darrell R. Tomlinson
Finance Team Leader, Financial Research/Support , Idaho Power Company, in
consultation with Barton L. Kline , Senior Attorney, Idaho Power Company.
REQUEST NO. 79: With respect to the Company s response to Irrigator
Request 2 for Account 511 please answer the following:
Why are there no entries for Maintenance of Structures at
Boardman?
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 79(a): Portland General Electric, as
operator of the Boardman plant, no longer reports expenses in account 511. Please
see the response to Irrigator Request 78.

Why was the January 2003 entry over 10 times the average
monthly expense experience for the 40 preceding months?
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 79(c): The January 2003 costs consist
of several charges, averaging $16 000 each , at the Valmy plant for work done by
outside contractors engaged in maintenance of the power plant building and grounds in
December 2002. These expenses were included in the plant's annual budget for 2002.
Rather than occurring over a period of months , the majority of this work was charged in
December.

IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO IDAHO IRRIGATION
PUMPERS ASSOCIATION'S FIFTH DATA REQUEST Page 14
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 82(a): There were entries made in each
of the months from March 1998 through April 2000 for account 514002 - Miscellaneous
Steam Plant -Boardman.
The response to this request was prepared by Darrell R. Tomlinson
Finance Team Leader, Financial Research/Support, Idaho Power Company, in
consultation with Barton L. Kline, Senior Attorney, Idaho Power Company.
It appears that correction(s) were made in February, March, April
and May 1999 , December 2000, and June 2003 where a negative value is recorded for
subaccount 514001. Please break down the reason(s) for any correction(s), the amount
of any correct(s) and the month(s) for which the correction(s) is being made.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 82(b): The negative amounts in account
514001 for the months of February, March , April , and May 1999 reflect the activity as
billed by PacifiCorp for the months of January through April 1999. In each of these
months , PacifiCorp reported a negative amount in account 514. The negative amount
in account 514001 for the month of December 2000 reflects the activity as billed by
PacifiCorp for the month of November 2000. Again, PacifiCorp reported a negative
amount in account 514. The negative amount in account 514001 for the month of June
2003 results from the true-up to actual of the estimate made in the prior month as
discussed in Idaho Power s response to Irrigation Pumpers request 21.

IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO IDAHO IRRIGATION
PUMPERS ASSOCIATION'S FIFTH DATA REQUEST Page 15
Why was the average monthly expense for the 200 1-2003
timeframe over 4 times the average monthly expense for the 3 previous years (1998
through 2000)?
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 82(c): The average monthly expenses
for account 514 are greater in the months following December 2000. This is due to a
change in the accounting practices by PacifiCorp for the Jim Bridger plant. This change
caused a shift of charges from other accounts - primarily account 506001 - to account
514001. For the years 1998 - 2000, account 506 averaged $838 329 per month. In the
period following the accounting change by PacifiCorp, 2001 through September 2003
account 506 averaged $391 154 per month. The change in the average monthly
amount for account 506 is a decrease of $447 175 per month, compared to the 529 687
increase in the average monthly expense for account 514.
The response to this request was prepared by Darrell R. Tomlinson
Finance Team Leader, Financial Research/Support, Idaho Power Company, in
consultation with Barton L. Kline , Senior Attorney, Idaho Power Company.
REQUEST NO. 83: With respect to the Company s response to Irrigator
Request 2 for Account 538 please answer the following:
It appears that correction(s) were made in September 2001 where
a negative value is recorded. Please break down the reason(s) for any correction(s), the
amount of any correct(s) and the month(s) for which the correction(s) is being made.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 83(a): Payments of $87 000 and
$25 375 were incorrectly charged to account 538 in July 2001 and were corrected to
account 548 in September 2001. These payments were made on the contract with

and manuals , and other initial plant operational activities.
The response to this request was prepared by Darrell R. Tomlinson
Finance Team Leader, Financial Research/Support, Idaho Power Company, in
consultation with Barton L. Kline, Senior Attorney, Idaho Power Company.
Why was the Acct. 538 expense for December 2002 lower than the
average during that timeframe while it was higher than the average in January 2003.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 83(b): In December 2002 , a correction
of $(38 625.84) was posted to account 538 reversing Danskin related charges made
earlier in 2002 and reclassifying them to account 548. January 2003 increases are
payroll related and result from more employee hours being dedicated to routine plant
operation activities since many capital projects finished up at year-end 2002.
The response to this request was prepared by Darrell R. Tomlinson
Finance Team Leader, Financial Research/Support, Idaho Power Company, in
consultation with Barton L. Kline , Senior Attorney, Idaho Power Company.
REQUEST NO. 84: With respect to the Company s response to Irrigator
Request 2 for Account 543, it appears that correction(s) were made in February 1999
December 2000 , January 2001 , and June 2001 where a negative value is recorded for
account 543. Please break down the reason(s) for any correction(s), the amount of any
correct(s) and the month(s) for which the correction(s) is being made.

rods that were incorrectly priced when issued in January 1999 and then reissuing them
at the correct unit price.
The Decemb~r 2000, January 2001 , and June 2001 negative amounts
$(175 000), $(175 000), and $(153 832) respectively, are not corrections. They are
insurance settlements received for the damaged Brownlee spill gate #4.
The response to this request was prepared by Darrell R. Tomlinson
Finance Team Leader, Financial Research/Support, Idaho Power Company, in
consultation with Barton L. Kline , Senior Attorney, Idaho Power Company.
REQUEST NO. 85: With respect to the Company s response to Irrigator
Request 2 for Account 565 please answer the following:
It appears that correction(s) were made in February and October
1999 , January, April and July 2000 and September 2002 where a negative value is
recorded. Please break down the reason(s) for any correction(s), the amount of any
correct(s) and the month(s) for which the correction(s) is being made.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 85(a): During the years 1999 and 2000
our scheduling and accounting system was not sufficiently robust to account for
transmission reservations. Transmission costs were estimated monthly and trued up
after receiving invoices and verifying the reservations. As a result, most months
contained several corrections for prior months. March 1999 , Idaho Power began
removing the trading (non-operating) piece of transmission from account 565. There
were monthly adjustments made for trading, some with prior months' adjustments
included , which caused negative monthly entries.

February 1999 contained a correction for November 1998 for
($216 661.58) correcting an estimated transmission charge.
October 1999 contained corrections for the months of June, July, August
and September 1999 amounting to $242 530.48.

September 2002 contained a correction for August 2002 for
($1 356 800.29). The price was initially recorded improperly and corrected the following
month.
The response to this request was prepared under the direction of Gregory
W. Said , Director of Revenue Requirement, Idaho Power Company, in consultation with
Barton L. Kline, Senior Attorney, Idaho Power Company.
Why was the Acct. 565 expense for the months of November 1999
March and June 2000, and August 2002 so much higher than the average during that
timeframe?
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO IDAHO IRRIGATION
PUMPERS ASSOCIATION'S FIFTH DATA REQUEST Page 19
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 85(b): November 1999 contained
adjustments for August, September and October 1999.
March and June 2000 see (a).
August 2002 was recorded incorrectly and adjusted in September 2002:
The response to this request was prepared under the direction of Gregory
W. Said, Director of Revenue Requirement, Idaho Power Company, in consultation with
Barton L. Kline , Senior Attorney, Idaho Power Company.
Why were the average expenses for June through September 2003
on the order of 7 times greater than the average expense for the three previous years?
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 85(c): Charges to account 565 changed
during the 2000 through 2002 period based on a Commission-approved change in
Idaho Power s energy procurement process.
In 2000, Idaho Power and IDACORP Energy (IE) entered into a contract
under which IE provided all-inclusive energy supply services to Idaho Power. Under
this contract, energy purchased or sold was generally bundled with transmission in
computing the energy transfer price. Only a few third-party transmission
reservations/contracts made by IE on Idaho Power s behalf were separately recorded in
account 565. This practice was followed in 2000 , 2001 , and the first half of 2002.
The agreement between Idaho Power and IE was terminated in mid-2002.
At that point, Idaho Power re-established its in-house wholesale energy transaction
function and the Company thereafter made all third-party transmission
reservations/contracts on an unbundled basis, recording them in account 565.

The response to this request was prepared under the direction of Gregory
W. Said, Director of Revenue Requirement, Idaho Power Company, in consultation with
Barton L. Kline , Senior Attorney, Idaho Power Company.
How long into the future is whatever caused the June through
September values to be so high , expected to continue into the future?
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 85(d): The current methodology (as
described in Response to Request No. 85(c) above) of recording transmission
reservations/contracts in account 565 will continue into the foreseeable future.
The response to this request was prepared under the direction of Gregory
W. Said, Director of Revenue Requirement, Idaho Power Company, in consultation with
Barton L. Kline, Senior Attorney, Idaho Power Company.
What was the purpose of subaccount 565001 and why was it
discontinued?
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 85(e): Account 565001 was set up to
account for transmission reserved by IDACORP Energy for Idaho Power Company.
described in Response to Request No. 85(c) above, Idaho Power is now making its own
third-party transmission reservations so there is no longer a need for account 565001.
The response to this request was prepared under the direction of Gregory
W. Said , Director of Revenue Requirement, Idaho Power Company, in consultation with
Barton L. Kline, Senior Attorney, Idaho Power Company.
REQUEST NO. 86: The Company s response to Irrigator Request
contains the following statement:
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO IDAHO IRRIGATION
PUMPERS ASSOCIATION'S FIFTH DATA REQUEST Page 21
For accounting purposes , we estimate O&M expenditures for the month
and then adjust those estimates to the actual amounts in the following month when the
actual amounts are known. For simplicity, only a few accounts are used for estimating
purposes; Account 502 is one of those accounts.
Please answer the following:
What are the "few accounts" used for estimating purposes?
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 86(a): The accounts that contain
estimates are as follows:
Plant Fuel Operations Maintenance Maintenance
Handlin2
Bridger (Prior to 2002)501 502 512
Bridger (After 2002)501 502 512 514
Boardman N/a 500 510
Valmy 501 502 512
The response to this request was prepared by Darrell R. Tomlinson
Finance Team Leader, Financial Research/Support, Idaho Power Company, in
consultation with Barton L. Kline , Senior Attorney, Idaho Power Company.
Are the expense accounts not listed in "" above estimated, and if
estimated , how are they estimated?
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 86(b): No. Accounts not listed above do
not contain estimates.
The response to this request was prepared by Darrell R. Tomlinson
Finance Team Leader, Financial Research/Support, Idaho Power Company, in
consultation with Barton L. Kline, Senior Attorney, Idaho Power Company.
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO IDAHO IRRIGATION
PUMPERS ASSOCIATION'S FIFTH DATA REQUEST Page 22
For accounting purposes, why do some accounts consist-of
estimated values plus corrections, while other accounts apparently do not?
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 86(c): The purpose of estimating
expenses is to comply with good accounting practices. Because actual monthly data is
not available, estimated data is used to offset the revenue received from the sales of the
electricity generated at the plant during the month with an expense (matching principal).
The accounts that were selected for estimating purposes were accounts that generally
received the majority of the expense within the operations and maintenance categories.
At the time that the thermal plants were built, the majority of the costs were going to
accounts 501 - Operation Expense - Fuel, account 502 - Operation Expense - Steam
Expense , and account 512 - Maintenance Expense - Maintenance of Boiler Plant. Due
to changes in the accounting practices of the operating partner, we have changed the
accounts used for estimating somewhat, but the philosophy has remained the same.

Finance Team Leader, Financial Research/Support, Idaho Power Company, in
consultation with Barton L. Kline, Senior Attorney, Idaho Power Company.
REQUEST NO. 87: On Exhibit 43 page 11 line 1 there is listed a total "in-
season" bills of 43 907 for the Schedule 24. Please provide a description of how this
figure is developed as well as all supporting data a workpapers that went into its
development.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 87: The "in-season" number of bills of
907 for Schedule 24 shown on Exhibit No. 43 , page 11 , line 1 was developed by 1)
computing the ratio between the number of active customers and the number of bills for
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO IDAHO IRRIGATION
PUMPERS ASSOCIATION'S FIFTH DATA REQUEST Page 23
each of the four "in-season" billing periods of June, July, August, and September 2002
2) multiplying the estimated number of active customers for the "in-season" billing
periods of June , July, August, and September 2003 by the computed ratio, and 3)
summing the calculated number of bills for each of the four "in-season" billing periods to
derive the total estimated "in-season" number of bills for the 2003 test year.
While preparing the response to this request it was discovered that the
spreadsheet used to compute the number of "in-season" bills contained an error. The
number of "in-season" bills for June 2002 of 13 523.8 was erroneously entered into the
spreadsheet as an "out-of-season" bill. The correct number of "in-season" bills should
be 57 726.6 not 43 907 as included on Exhibit No. 43 , page 11 , line 1.
Please refer to the enclosed workpaper for the details of the original and
corrected computations. Included on the CD labeled "Fifth Production Request of
Irrigation Pumpers" included with this response is the detailed spreadsheet which
develops the estimated billing components for June through December 2003 for all
customer classes.
The response to this request was prepared by Maggie Brilz, Director of
Pricing, Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Barton L. Kline , Senior Attorney,
Idaho Power Company.
REQUEST NO. 88: On Exhibit 43 page 11 line 4 there is listed a total "in-
season" demand of 3 040 024 for the Schedule 24. Please provide a description of how
this figure is developed as well as all supporting data a workpapers that went into its
development.
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO IDAHO IRRIGATION
PUMPERS ASSOCIATION'S FIFTH DATA REQUEST Page 24
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 88: The "in-season" demand of
040 024 for Schedule 24 shown on Exhibit No. 43 , page 11 , line 4 was developed by
1) computing the monthly load factor for each of the four "in-season" billing periods of
June, July, August, and September 2002 utilizing the normalized energy usage and the
actual billing demand and assuming 720 hours in each month, 2) dividing the estimated
normalized energy usage for the "in-season" billing periods of June , July, August, and
September 2003 by 720 and then by the computed load factor ratio, and 3) summing
the calculated billing demands for each of the four billing periods to derive the total
estimated "in-season" billing demand for the 2003 test year.
Please refer to the spreadsheet included on the enclosed CD for the
details of the computation.
The response to this request was prepared by Maggie Brilz , Director of
Pricing, Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Barton L. Kline , Senior Attorney,
Idaho Power Company.
REQUEST NO. 89: On Exhibit 43 page 11 line 10 there is listed a
Customer Adj.- 392 596 for the Schedule 24. Please provide a description of how
this figure is developed as well as all supporting data and workpapers that went into its
development.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 89: On a monthly basis for each
customer class, the Company reconciles the revenue recorded in the Company
financial ledger to the revenue computed by multiplying the reported billing units by the
current rates. Any difference between the two values is referred to as a "Customer
Adjustment". Differences between the two values generally arise when adjustments are
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO IDAHO IRRIGATION
PUMPERS ASSOCIATION'S FIFTH DATA REQUEST Page 25
made to prior year billings by either crediting or debiting an account for the dollar value
of the adjustment. The total "Customer Adjustment" calculated through this process on
an actual basis is carried forward for the computation of the normalized revenues.
Since estimated usage is utilized for the months of June through December 2003, the
Customer Adjustment" values for June through December 2002 are used for the
corresponding months within the test year. The "Customer Adjustment" of ($392 596)
for Schedule 24 shown on Exhibit No. 43 , page 11 , line 10 is the sum of the monthly
adjustments on an actual basis for January through May 2003 and for June through
December 31 2002.
The workpapers supporting the development of the "Customer
Adjustment" of ($392 596) are included with Idaho Power Company s Response to
Idaho Irrigation Pumpers Association s Sixth Data Request, Request No. 95.
The response to this request was prepared by Maggie Brilz , Director of
Pricing, Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Barton L. Kline , Senior Attorney,
Idaho Power Company.
REQUEST NO. 90: Please provide similar billing data as found on Exhibit
43 page 11 column 1 for 2002.

REQUEST NO. 91: On Exhibit 43 page 13 line 1 there is listed a total "in-
season" bills of 817.6 for the Schedule 25. Please provide a description of how this
figure is developed as well as all supporting data and workpapers that went into its
development.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 91: The "in-season" number of bills of
817.6 for Schedule 25 shown on Exhibit No. 43, page 13 , line 1 was developed by 1)
computing the ratio between the number of active customers and the number of "in-
season" bills for the period of June 1 through September, 30 2002, 2) multiplying the
estimated number of active customers for the applicable months of 2003 by the
computed ratio, and 3) summing the calculated number of "in-season" bills.
While preparing the response to this request it was discovered that the
spreadsheet used to compute the number of "in-season" bills contained an error. The
summation of the total "in-season" bills erroneously excluded the number of bills for
June 2003. The correct number of "in-season" bills should be 942.5 not 817.6 as
included on Exhibit No. 43, page 13, line 1.
Please refer to the enclosed workpaper for the details of the original and
corrected computation. Also, please refer to the detailed spreadsheet included on the
CD enclosed with this response.

this figure is developed as well as all supporting data a workpapers that went into its
development.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 92: The "in-season" demand of 164 121
for Schedule 25 shown on Exhibit No. 43 , page 13 , line 5 was developed by 1)
computing the monthly load factor for each of the four "in-season" calendar months of
June , July, August , and September 2002 utilizing the normalized energy usage and the
actual billing demand and assuming 720 hours in each month , 2) dividing the estimated
normalized energy usage for the "in-season" calendar months of June , July, August
and September 2003 by 720 and then by the computed load factor ratio, and 3)
summing the calculated billing demands for each of the four billing periods to derive the
total estimated "in-season" billing demand for the 2003 test year.
Please refer to the spreadsheet included on the enclosed CD for the
details of the computation.
The response to this request was prepared by Maggie Brilz, Director of
Pricing, Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Barton L. Kline , Senior Attorney,
Idaho Power Company.
REQUEST NO. 93: On Exhibit 43 page 11 lines 8-11 there is listed
various energy billing units for the Schedule 25. Please provide a description of how
this figure is developed as well as all supporting data and workpapers that went into its
development.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 93: The energy usage for each of the
four time-of-use blocks - on-peak, mid-peak, off-peak, and out-of-season - shown on
Exhibit No. 43, page 13 , lines 8 - 11 is the sum of the actual normalized energy usage
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO IDAHO IRRIGATION
PUMPERS ASSOCIATION'S FIFTH DATA REQUEST Page 28
for January through May 2003 and the estimated normalized energy usage for June
through December 2003. The estimated normalized usages for each block were
derived by 1) computing the ratio of usage in each block to the total usage for each of
the months June through December 2002 , 2) multiplying the 2003 estimated normalized
energy usage for each of the months of June through December 2003 by the computed
ratios , and 3) summing the calculated energy usage for each block for the months of
June through December 2003 to derive the total estimated energy for each block.
