BEFORE THE IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION
OF IDAHO POWER COMPANY FOR
AUTHORITY TO INCREASE ITS BASE
RATES AND CHARGES FOR ELECTRIC
SERVICE IN THE STATE OF IDAHO
CASE NO. IPC-05-
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'
RESPONSE TO THE FIFTH
PRODUCTION REQUEST OF
COMMISSION STAFF
COMES NOW, Idaho Power Company ("Idaho Power" or "the Company
and in response to the Fifth Production Request of the Commission Staff to Idaho Power
Company dated January 27 2006, herewith submits the following information:
REQUEST NO. 36: Pengilly pg 19, lines 2 - 6, states "setting the energy
threshold at 2 000 kWh will require an estimated 13 percent of the current Schedule 7
customers , who account for approximately 27 percent of the overall Schedule 7
revenue , to be transferred to Schedule 9." Please provide an analysis of the effect on
cost of service that this move of customers from Schedule 7 to Schedule 9 will have. In
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FIFTH
PRODUCTION REQUEST OF COMMISSION STAFF Page
particular, what is the cost of service revenue requirement for Schedules 7 and 9 after
this move of customers?
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 36: The analysis requested by Staff
would require the complete preparation of a cost-of-service study, including the
manipulation of load research data to determine revised demand and energy allocation
factors. The preparation of such a study is a major undertaking and cannot be
accomplished in the timeframe requested by Staff.
As stated in Mr. Pengilly s direct testimony at page 22 , lines 19-25 and at
page 23 lines 1-, the Company made adjustments to the number of billings , Basic
Load Capacity kilowatts , Demand kilowatts , Energy kilowatt-hours , and associated
revenues for both Schedule 7 and Schedule 9 - Secondary Service Level to account for
the customer movement between these two schedules. These adjustments were made
for rate design purposes and are detailed on Mr. Pengilly s Exhibit No. 50, pages 3
through 6.
The response to this request was prepared by Maggie Brilz, Director of
Pricing, Idaho Power Company, and Peter Pengilly, Senior Pricing Analyst, Idaho
Power Company, in consultation with Barton L. Kline , Senior Attorney, Idaho Power
Company.
REQUEST NO. 37: Please provide the analysis that supports a $17.
in-season service charge for Schedule 24 and an out-of-season service charge of only
$3.00.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 37: Cost justification that supports a
$17.50 in-season service charge for Schedule 24 and an out-of-season service charge
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FIFTH
PRODUCTION REQUEST OF COMMISSION STAFF Page 2
of $3.00 is contained in Ms. Brilz s Exhibit No. 40 , page 6. The monthly customer-
related costs for Schedule 24 customers are found in Column I. Customer-related
costs include meters and other distribution investment required to serve customers as
well as monthly customer-related O&M expenses. A total service charge of $30.71 per
month is supported on line 600. Even though the Company s proposed monthly in-
season service charge of $17.50 is substantially below the monthly average justified in
the analysis , the Company is proposing this amount as a reasonable movement toward
cost -of -se rvice.
On page 3 of Mr. Pengilly s direct testimony he states
, "
My first objective
is to move the individual rate components closer to the costs of providing electric
service by emphasizing increases in the demand and customer components and the
inclusion of fewer non-energy-related costs in the energy charges. This movement
toward more emphasis on the fixed billing components is supported by the results of
the Company ' class cost-of-service study.
There is only a negligible difference in the Company s actual customer-
related expenses between the in-season and the out-of-season months. However, the
current proposed differentiated service charges provide a benefit to both the Company
and its customers. By keeping the irrigation service points energized throughout the
year, the Company avoids making a service call to disconnect the service in the fall and
going back to reenergize the service in the spring. The $3.00 out-of-season Service
Charge provides an economic incentive for customers to keep their service energized
throughout the year. By paying a small $3.00 out-of-season service charge each
month, the customer avoids the requirement to pay a $40 Service Connection Charge
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FIFTH
PRODUCTION REQUEST OF COMMISSION STAFF Page 3
in the spring at a time when many other customers may be vying for the Company
services.
The response to this request was prepared by Peter Pengilly, Senior
Pricing Analyst , Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Barton L. Kline , Senior
Attorney, Idaho Power Company.
REQUEST NO. 38: For Schedule 24 , could the out-of-season service
charge be increased to off-set revenue lost through elimination of the demand charge?
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 38: As shown on page 13 of Mr.
Pengilly s Exhibit No. 50
, "
Summary of Revenue Impact" for Schedule 24 - Secondary
Irrigation Customers , the proposed base rate energy charge for the in-season is
$0.034516 and for the out-of-season is $0.043937. If the proposed out-of-season
energy charge were replaced with the proposed in-season rate of $0.034516 per kWh
total revenues would decrease by $2 845 073. To offset this decrease in out-of-season
energy revenues would require the out-of-season service charge to be increased by
$24.23 for a total out-of-season service charge of $27.23 per month.
It continues to be the Company s position that both the Company and its
irrigation customers are well served to not disconnect service in the fall. The $3.00 per
month service charge in the out-of-season months has proven to be very successful in
encouraging irrigation customers to continue service throughout the year. Over the
eight out-of-season months , the total service charge is only $24. In contrast, the
Service Connection Charge is $40.
Since the Company has no experience with out-of-season service charges
over $3.00 per month , there is no data to help determine what customers' reaction
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FIFTH
PRODUCTION REQUEST OF COMMISSION STAFF Page 4
would be to a higher service charge in the out-of-season. The current $16 differential
between eight months of out-of-season service charges and the service connection
charge has proven to be effective in keeping customers' service connected throughout
the year. However, it is hard to determine how small the economic incentive can
become before the tipping point is reached where customers do not perceive an
advantage to keeping service connected during all months.
The edge of the tipping point would be no differential at all between eight
months of out-of-season service charges and fees to reconnect service. If out-of-
season service charges were raised to $5 per month , the increase in revenue would
allow the out-of-season energy charge to decrease from the proposed $0.043937 cents
per kWh to $0.043159 cents per kWh. However, if out-of-season service charges were
raised to $5 per month , the customer would have no incentive to stay connected
throughout the year.
The response to this request was prepared by Peter Pengilly, Senior
Pricing Analyst , Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Barton L. Kline , Senior
Attorney, Idaho Power Company.
REQUEST NO. 39: Please explain why Schedule 25 is closed to new
customers.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 39: In its Application for the authority to
institute a two-year pilot program to allow irrigation customers to take electric service at
time-of-use rates (Schedule 25), the Company requested enrollment be limited to 300
metered service points. Also, to participate , the customer had to be enrolled onto the
schedule no later than June 1 , 2001. Even though the Company requested a two-year
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FIFTH
PRODUCTION REQUEST OF COMMISSION STAFF Page 5
pilot, it recognized that some customers might make additional investments in
equipment in order to shift their usage to less expensive time periods. Therefore the
Company requested that the pilot participants be allowed the option of remaining on
TOU rates through October 1 , 2007 to enable them to earn a payback on the
equipment investments they may have made.
In Order No. 28706 dated April 17, 2001 , the Idaho Commission granted
the Company s Application including the requested participation provisions and options.
At the conclusion of the two-year pilot, the Company submitted a Final
Report to the IPUC on February 4, 2003 regarding the operation of the program and its
results. Even though there were power supply cost reductions as a result of load
shifting, there was a mismatch between the customers' bill reductions and the
corresponding reduction in purchased power costs. In aggregate , there were
reductions of $74 651 in power supply costs with a corresponding reduction of
$253 386 in irrigation bills. This disparity indicates that the rate design did not properly
align with the purchased power cost savings.
The Company believes there are several issues that should be considered
before any decision to revamp Schedule 25 or add new participants is made. First, an
evaluation to determine whether encouraging demand during off-peak time periods
could increase overall capacity requirements and therefore overload existing distribution
facilities should be considered. Secondly, all pricing components should be evaluated
including the potential introduction of irrigation on-peak demand charges. Finally, an
evaluation of the potential benefits of TOU pricing for irrigation customers , particularly in
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FIFTH
PRODUCTION REQUEST OF COMMISSION STAFF Page 6
comparison to the benefits derived from the Irrigation Peak Rewards program, should
be considered in order to determine if the benefits of TOU support the costs.
The response to this request was prepared by Peter Pengilly, Senior
Pricing Analyst, Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Barton L. Kline , Senior
Attorney, Idaho Power Company.
REQUEST NO. 40: Please provide the cost justification for the Company
practice of proration of the service charge in partial monthly bills.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 40: The practice of prorating the service
charge in partial monthly bills is not based on cost of service considerations. In
examining historic tariffs, the Company has been prorating the service charge (then
customer charge) in partial monthly bills since 1960.
As detailed on Ms. Brilz s Exhibit No. 40, the service charge is intended to
recover the customer-related component of distribution plant , such as primary lines
secondary lines , line transformers, service drops, and meters and an allocated portion
of customer-related 0 & M expenses including meter reading, customer accounts
(billing, etc.), and uncollectible expenses. Since the service charge is intended to
recover many of the fixed charges related to providing service to the customer
prorating the Service Charge for a partial billing period of use of the components of the
electrical system necessary to provide service is reasonable.
If the Company were to not prorate the Service Charge for customers
whose accounts are active for less than a normal billing cycle, it could cause problems
with customer relations. For example , if a customer were to move in the middle of a
billing cycle , the customer could have an active account at one premises for part of a
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FIFTH
PRODUCTION REQUEST OF COMMISSION STAFF Page 7
billing cycle and an active account at a second premises for another part of a billing
cycle. In this situation , the customer could have a total of 30 days for the two partial
billing cycles but be charged two full Service Charges. Such a change could be
perceived by customers as unjust , especially in situations where a Service Connection
Charge is also assessed.
The response to this request was prepared by Peter Pengilly, Senior
Pricing Analyst, Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Barton L. Kline , Senior
Attorney, Idaho Power Company.
REQUEST NO. 41: Please provide the cost justification for Schedule 66
No.
, "
off-site meter reading service" monthly charge of $3.65 and $4.40.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 41: The cost justification for Schedule
66 No.
, "
off-site meter reading service" monthly charge of $3.65 and $4.40 is
contained in Advice No. 96-06 filed by Idaho Power with the Commission on September
, 1996. This charge was updated to include a third type of meter through Advice No.
04-02 filed with the Commission on March 9 2004. Copies of Advice No. 96-06 and
Advice No. 04-02 are attached to this response.
The response to this request was prepared by Peter Pengilly, Senior
Pricing Analyst, Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Barton L. Kline, Senior
Attorney, Idaho Power Company.
REQUEST NO. 42: Please provide a bill frequency analysis for Service
Schedules 1 and 7 for each month with incremental blocks of 100 kWh for usage from 0
to 1200 kWh; 1200 to 1500 kWh; 1500 to 2 000 kWh; 2 000 to 2 500 kWh; 2 500 to

The response to this request was prepared by Peter Pengilly, Senior
Pricing Analyst, Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Barton L. Kline, Senior
Attorney, Idaho Power Company
REQUEST NO. 45: On page 32 of IPUC Order No. 29505, the
Commission ordered Idaho Power to increase its LlW A payments to CAP agencies by
$1 million to approximately $1.2 million for each of the next three years , effective
coincident with the rate increases authorized by the Order. The Commission stated
these dollars are to be booked and tracked in a separate balancing sub-
account...unpaid funds shall carry over and be available in the next year." Please
provide the following:
a. The account number of the separate balancing sub-account
referenced in Order No. 29505;
b. The actual amounts paid to the CAP agencies from the sub-account in
2004;
c. The actual amounts paid to the CAP agencies from the sub-account in
2005;
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FIFTH
PRODUCTION REQUEST OF COMMISSION STAFF Page 10
d. The budgeted amounts expected to be paid to the CAP agencies from
the sub-account in 2006 and 2007;
e. The revenue requirement in this Case No. IPC-05-28 associated
with these payments (please show the Company s calculation and
source of information in addition to Exhibit and line references).
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 45a: In order to track the LlW A
expenditures to CAP agencies the Company established a Work Order tracking system
in which each CAP agency is assigned a unique Work Order and Task number
combination. This unique number is attached to each CAP agency payment record
stored within the Company s accounting database. The Work Order tracking system for
LlW A payments to CAP agencies was implemented in the fourth quarter of 2004. Prior
to the implementation of the Work Order tracking system, all LlWA payments to CAP
agencies were identified by a unique vendor code assigned to each agency.
All expenditures associated with LlW A payments to CAP agencies are
booked to FERC Account 908.
The response to this request was prepared by James L. Baggs , General
Manager, Strategic Initiatives and Compliance , Idaho Power Company, in consultation
with Barton L. Kline , Senior Attorney, Idaho Power Company.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 45b, 45c, and 45d: Table 1 attached to
this response details the LlW A funding available to CAP agencies, actual payments to
CAP agencies, and any "carry-over" balances for 2004 and 2005 in addition to the
Company s projected payments for 2006 and 2007.
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FIFTH
PRODUCTION REQUEST OF COMMISSION STAFF Page 11
Table 2 attached to this response details the total payments made to each
CAP agency during 2004 and 2005 along with the projected payments to each CAP
agency for 2006 and 2007.
The response to this request was prepared by James L. Baggs , General
Manager, Strategic Initiatives and Compliance , Idaho Power Company, in consultation
with Barton L. Kline , Senior Attorney, Idaho Power Company.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 45e: The revenue requirement
associated with the payments to the agencies included in the current case is
212 534. Page 1 of the attachment to this response details the actual payments to
agencies for the January through June, 2005 time period. Page 2 of the attachment
details the budgeted payments for the July through December, 2005 time period. The
total of these amounts is $1 311 359 ($536 244 + $17 391 + $757 724). An adjustment
of ($98 825), as shown on page 99 of Ms. Schwendiman s workpapers , was made to
reduce the total amount included in the Company s request to $1 212 534, the amount
approved by the Commission through Order No. 29505 issued in the Company s last
general rate case, Case No. IPC-03-13.
The response to this request was prepared by Celeste Schwendiman
Senior Pricing Analyst, Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Barton L. Kline
Senior Attorney, Idaho Power Company.
REQUEST NO. 46: If the amounts provided in response to items b. and
c. in the previous request does not equal the balance in the sub-account as reflected in
the Company s December 2004 and December 2005 ending trial balance, please
provide a detailed reconciliation that describes the dollars and reasons for the
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FIFTH
PRODUCTION REQUEST OF COMMISSION STAFF Page 12
differences between the amounts in the Company s response and that contained in its
accounting records.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 46: The accounting detail included on
the CD labeled "Fifth Production Request of the Commission Staff - Responses
provides each transaction booked to the CAP agency Work Order during 2004 and
2005. However, the Work Order tracking method for LlWA payments to CAP agencies
was not implemented until the fourth quarter of 2004, as described in the Company
Response to Request No. 45a. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2004 the Company tracked
payments to the CAP agencies through a unique vendor identifier for each CAP
agency. The vendor identifier is listed under the heading "VEND" in the accounting
detail. The only exception to this tracking method occurs in 2004 when the Company
made a manual correction to an incorrectly applied CAP agency payment. In October of
2004, a payment of $21 500.19 was booked to the vendor identifier "SOUCENCOAC"
for South Central Community Action Partnership, Inc. This payment included both a
normal CAP agency payment component of $10 965.53 and a "non-profit" component
of $10 534.66. This correction is noted on the accounting detail.
The response to this request was prepared by James L. Baggs, General
Manager , Strategic Initiatives and Compliance, Idaho Power Company, in consultation
with Barton L. Kline , Senior Attorney, Idaho Power Company.
REQUEST NO. 47: Please provide the actual capital structure and actual
cost of debt at December 31 2005 with the detailed information as shown on Idaho
Power Company Exhibit Nos. 11 and 12.

RE:Advice No. 96-06
Off-Site Meter Reading Service
Dear Mrs. Walters:
Endosed are an onginal and three copies of First Revised Sheet No. D-1. Original
Sheet No. 0-2, Second Revised Sheet No. 66-2, and Original Sheet No. 66-3. Following is a brief
description of the revisions to these tariff sheets.
Off-Site Meter ReadinQ Service. Off-Site Meter Reading Service allows a
customer's meter to be read via radio frequency signals, eliminating the need for a meter reader to
enter a customer's property. Over the past year , Idaho Power has received several requests from
customers desiring off-site meter reading service in order to have the additional privacy afforded by
eliminating the need for Company personnel tcroutinely enter their property in order to record
meter usage. Idaho Power proposes to offer Off-Site Meter Reading Service for a monthly charge
to customers desiring the service when the service is not required by the Company and does not
provide the Company with a cost-effective operating benefit. At this time, only kilowatt-hour meters
are capable of being read via radio frequency. Consequently, the Off-Site Meter Reading Service
will be available only to customers taking seNice under Schedule 1 or Schedule 7.
Companv Proposal.During 1995, Idaho Power identified a subset of residential
customers for whom installing off-site meter reading service would result in operating efficiencies for
the Company due to the difficulty in obtaining access to the customers' meter location or the safety
hazard posed by the meter location. Approximately 500 off-site meters were installed at these
restricted access customer locations. It is anticipated that additional sites will be identified as
having restricted access in the future as locked gates, bad dogs. or dangerous conditions create an
impediment to meter access. It is the Company s intention to install an off-site meter at these
restricted access locations at no cost to the customer when installing the meter will result in reduced
overall costs to the Company or eliminate a safety hazard to Company personnel. However, it is the
Company s desire to make the off-site meter reading seNies available to customers taking service
under Schedule 1 or Schedule 7 who want the service solely for their own purposes, such as
increased privacy. In order to avoid an initially overwhelming number of requests for the Off-Site
Meter Reading ServiCe, the Company has priced the service at a slight premium by accelerating the
payback on the investment. The monthly Off-Site Meter Reading Service charge for which
standard metering is utilized is $6.95. The monthly charge for which instrument transformer
metering is utilized is $7.95. By pricing at a slight premium, the Company WIll also ensure that no
other customer or group of customers is negatively impaded by the service. In addition, to
discourage customers from requesting the service be removed shortly after it is installed, a $25
removal fee will be charged if a customer requests the service be removed within 90 days following
installation. Attachment I shows the derivation of the pricing based on a three year payback period
and an overall retum of 9.199%.
HousekeecinQ ChanQes.Rule D language referring to Instrument Transformer
Metering and Meter Tests has been reformatted to make identifying these topics easier. In addition
language on Schedule 66 referring to provisions of the meter tests has been moved to Rule D.
These housekeeping changes do not change any rule or prevision; they simply change the location
andlor format of the language.
In order to respond to customer requests for Off-Site Meter Reading Service in a
timely fashion, Idaho Power requests the Commission consider this request within the 30 day time
frame provided for under Rule 134 of the Rules of Practice and Procedure of the Idaho Public
Utilities Commission. Idaho Power has requested an effective date for these tariff sheets of
Odober 4. 1996.

Off-Site Meter Reading Service
Dear Mrs. Walters:
Enclosed are an original and three copies of First Revised Sheet No. 0-, Original
Sheet No. 0-, Second Revised Sheet No. 66-, and Original Sheet No. 66-3. Following is a brief
description of the revisions to these tariff sheets.
Off-Site Meter Readina Service.Off-Site Meter Reading Service allows a
customer's meter to be read via radio frequency signals , eliminating the need for a meter reader to
enter a customer's property. Over the past year , Idaho Power has received several requests from
customers desiring off-site meter reading service in order to have the additional privacy afforded by
eliminating the need for Company personnel to routinely enter their property in order to record
meter usage. Idaho Power proposes to offer Off-Site Meter Reading Service for a monthly charge
to customers desiring the service when the service is not required by the Company and does not
provide the Company with a cost-effective operating benefit. At this time, only kilowatt-hour meters
are capable of being read via radio frequency. Consequently, the Off-Site Meter Reading Service
will be available only to customers taking service under Schedule 1 or Schedule 7.
Company Proposal.During 1995, Idaho Power identified a subset of residential
customers for whom installing off-site meter reading service would result in operating efficiencies for
the Company due to the difficulty in obtaining access to the customers' meter location or the safety
hazard posed by the meter location. Approximately 500 off-site meters were installed at these
restricted access customer locations. It is anticipated that additional sites will be identified as
having restricted access in the future as locked gates, bad dogs, or dangerous conditions create an
impediment to meter access. It is the Company s intention to install an off-site meter at these
restricted access locations at no cost to the customer when installing the meter will result in reduced
overall costs to the Company or eliminate a safety hazard to Company personnel. However, it is the
Company s desire to make the off-site meter reading service available to customers taking service
under Schedule 1 or Schedule 7 who want the service solely for their own purposes, such as
increased privacy. In order to avoid an initially overwhelming number of requests for the Off-Site
Meter Reading Service, the Company has priced the service at a slight premium by accelerating the
payback on the investment. The monthly Off-Site Meter Reading Service charge for which
standard metering is utilized is $6.95. The monthly charge for which instrument transformer
metering is utilized is $7.95. By pricing at a slight premium, the Company will also ensure that no
other customer or group of customers is negatively impacted by the service. In addition, to
discourage customers from requesting the service be removed shortly after it is installed. a $25
removal fee will be charged if a customer requests the service be removed within 90 days following
installation. Attachment I shows the derivation of the pricing based on a three year payback period
and an overall return of 9.199%.
Housekeepina Chanaes.Rule 0 language referring to Instrument Transformer
Metering and Meter Tests has been reformatted to make identifying these topics easier. In addition
language on Schedule 66 referring to provisions of the meter tests has been moved to Rule D.
These housekeeping changes do not change any rule or provision; they simply change the location
and/or format of the language.
In order to respond to customer requests for Off-Site Meter Reading Service in a
timely fashion, Idaho Power requests the Commission consider this request within the 30 day time
frame provided for under Rule 134 of the Rules of Practice and Procedure of the Idaho Public
Utilities Commission. Idaho Power has requested an effective date for these tariff sheets of

Premises, the Company may estimate the meter reading for the month on the basis of the Customer's
previous use, season of the year and use by similar Customers of the same class in that service area. Bills
rendered on estimated readings will be so designated on the bill. The amount of such estimated bill will
be subsequently adjusted, as necessary, when the next actual reading is obtained.

METERING (Continued!
Measurement of EnerQV (Continued)
Should the Company be unable to read a Customer s meter for two consecutive months, the
Company will diligently attempt to contact the Customer by telephone and/or letter to apprise the
Customer of the necessity of a meter reading and to make arrangements to read the meter or request
the Customer to record and return the meter reading on a card provided by the Company. If such
arrangements cannot be made or if the Customer fails to return the meter reading card, the Company
may estimate the meter reading.
3. Failure to Reqister.If the Company s meters fail to register at any time, the service
delivered and energy consumed during such period of failure will be determined by the Company on
the basis of the best available data. If any appliance or wiring connection, or any other device,
found on the Customer s Premises which prevents the meters from accurately recording the total
amount of energy used on the Premises, the Company may at once remove any such wiring
connection or appliance, or device, at the Customer's expense, and will estimate the amount of energy
so consumed and not registered as accurately as it is able so to do, and the Customer will pay for any
such energy within 5 days after being billed, in accordance with such estimate.
4. Meter Tests.The Company will test and inspect its meters from time to time and maintain
their accuracy of registration in accordance with generally accepted practices and the rules and
regulations established by the Idaho Public Utilities Commission. The Company will, without charge, test
the accuracy of registration of a meter upon request of a Customer, provided that the Customer does
not request such a test more frequently than once in a 12-month period. If more than one requested
test is performed within a 12-month period, the Customer will be required to pay in advance the
estimated cost of a special meter test as specified in Schedule 66. The Company will refund the amount
paid by the Customer for the test if the results of the test show the average registration error of the meter
exceeds ::1:2 percent.
5. Transformer Losses: When delivery of service is on the primary side of the Customer's
transformers, the Company may install its meters on the secondary side of the transformers, and, unless
otherwise provided in the schedule, in determining the monthly consumption of power and energy,
transformer losses and other losses occurring between the Point of Delivery and the meters will be
computed and added to the reading of such meters.
6. Meter ReadinQ: Meters will be read to the last kWh registered, normally at intervals of
approximately 30 days. In no case will the meter reading interval exceed 45 days.

OFF-SITE METER READING SERVICE
C2)
At the Commission s direction, Staff met with Idaho Power yesterday to further discuss the charges for a
new off-site meter reading service. The Company agreed to deduct the price of a "regular" meter and
only seek to recover the cost of installation and special metering equipment necessary for remote reading
with a five year payback. The Company still prefers not to charge an installation fee, so two proposals
were prepared for the Commission s consideration.
With a $25.00 installation charge, the monthly rate is:
Class 200 Class 10
$3.$4.40
With no installation charge, the monthly rate is:
Class 200 Class 10
$4.$5.25

RE:IDAHO POWER ADVICE NO. 96-
OFF-SITE METER READING SERVICE
BACKGROUND
Idaho Power is requesting authorization to provide an optional off-site meter reading service that
allows customers' meters to be read by radio frequency. Residential (Schedule I) and small
commercial (Schedule 7) customers who do not want Idaho Power employees on their property
to take monthly meter reading may subscribe to this service. The restriction to Schedules 1 and 7
is due to the fact that only kwh meters are capable of being read via radio frequency. There have
been requests for such a service from several customers in the Hailey area. Reasons for such
requests include concerns about privacy.
, The company currently installs off-site meters without charge to customers if such an installation
benefits the company. such as in situations where gaining access to the meter is difficult or
hazardous for the meter reader. The company intends to continue this practice in the future.
However, if a customer wants an off-site meter to be installed in situations where there is no
company benefit, then the company wants to assess a charge.
As proposed, the monthly charge for standard off-site metering is $6.95; instrument transfonner
metering is $7.95. No installation fee is proposed, but a $25.00 fee applies if a customer
requests removal within 90 days following installation. Installed meter cost is $155 for standard
off-site metering and $177 for instrument transfonner off-site metering. In contrast to the typical
30 year recovery period for regular meters, the proposed monthly rate is designed to recover the
investment in three years.
. .
The company is also proposing to make some housekeeping changes to Rule D and Schedule 66.
Statements were relocated, but no substantive changes were made other than those discussed
above.
ST AFF ANALYSIS'
Staff supports the offering of this service, which meets the needs of certain customers. Staff
agrees with the company that because this service requires the installation of a special type of
meter, customers requesting the service should pay for it. The company states that it has "priced
the service at a slight premium by accelerating the payback on its investment....By pricing at a
slight premium, the Company will also ensure that no other customer or-group of customers is
negatively impacted by the service." In discussions with Staff, the company has also indicated
that it anticipates the existing meters to become obsolete as technology improves. However, there
is no evidence to suggest that the meters will be routinely replaced at the end of the three year
cost recovery period, and it is likely the company will recover more than its initial investment.
Due to the limited number of available meters and interested customers at this time. the overall
impact on revenue is not significant.
Staff believes that requiring customers to pay a non-refundable fee to cover the cost of
installation with no additional monthly charge would be a more straight-forward approach to cost
recovery. A possible alternative might be to charge an installation fee and a reduced monthly
rate. However, the company has considered those alternatives and prefers its proposed monthly
rate. As an optional service priced at a premium, existing customers will not be harmed. If
potential purchasers of the service find the rate unacceptable , the company will probably
reexamine its pricing strategy and propose changes.
The proposed effective date of this advice is October 4 , 1996. The Company (Maggie Brilz)
orally agreed to suspend the effective date pending the Commission s decision.
COMMISSION DECISION
Does the Commission. wish to approve the advice as proposed? Should the Staff continue to
negotiate with the company to establish a one-time non-refundable installation fee? An
installation fee combined with a monthly charge? Something else?

Ms. Jean Jewell, Secretary
Idaho Public Utilities Commission
P. O. Box 83720
Boise, 10 83720-0074
RE:Advice No. 04-
Off-Site Meter Reading Service
Dear Ms. Jewell:
Idaho Power Company herewith transmits for filing Sixth Revised Sheet No. 66-2. This
proposed revision adds a class of meter that allows the off-site meter reading service to be available to
customers with 200 to 400 amp service who have standard metering. Also transmitted is a copy of Sheet
No. 66-2 in legislative format.
In September 1996 Idaho Power Company filed an application requesting authorization to
establish the optional Off-Site Meter Reading Service. The request was approved by the Commission in
October 1996. Off-Site Meter Reading Service allows a customer s meter to be read via radio frequency
signals, eliminating the need for a meter reader to enter the customer's property.
The Company currently offers two classes of off-site meter. The Class 200 meter is
applicable to customers with up to 200 amp service and standard metering. The Class 10 meter is
applicable to customers with 200 amp or greater service and instrument transformer metering. Over the
past several months the Company has received requests for the Off-Site Meter Reading Service from
customers with 200 to 400 amp service and standard metering. In order to accommodate these requests
the Company proposes to add an additional meter model to those already available under Schedule 66.
The additional meter model, Class 320 R300, costs approximately the same as the
existing Class 10 R300 model. The Company therefore proposes to add the additional model with the
same monthly charge of $4.40 per month as is currently approved for the Class 10 R300 model.
The Company respectfully requests the submitted tariff sheet become effective April 9
2004. If you have any questions regarding this Advice, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,m~d
Maggie Brilz
