COMES NOW, Idaho Power Company ("Idaho Power" or "the Company"), and in
response to the Fourth Production Request of the Commission Staff to Idaho Power
Company dated September 10, 2008, herewith submits the following information:
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FOURTH PRODUCTION
REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY - 1
REQUEST NO. 42: Please provide all bil frequency analyses completed or in
progress for the commercial schedlJles. Please provide a description of what each
analysis conveys, what biling determinant it was used for, and how it was utilized in
determining the proposed rate designs.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 42: Please see the tables attached hereto for
the 2007 monthly bil frequency analyses for the Company's Schedule 07, Small
General Service customers. This data was used to evaluate the current summer block
rate and to evaluate data supporting the proposed non-summer block rate. This is the
only bil frequency analysis completed for the commercial schedules.
The response to this Request was prepared by Darlene Nemnich, Senior Pricing
Analyst, Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Barton L. Kline, Lead Counsel,
Idaho Power Company.
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FOURTH PRODUCTION
REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY - 2
REQUEST NO. 43: With regards to the Company's witnesses Nemnich and
Waites, please provide electronic copies of all analyses supporting the commercial and
residential schedules rate design. Please provide a description of what each analysis
conveys, what biling determinant it was used for, and how it was utilized in determining
the proposed rate designs.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 43: The analyses used to drive the design of
the rate components proposed by the Company, for the residential and commercial
schedules, have been provided in Exhibits 72 - 75 and the corresponding workpapers of
witnesses Nemnich and Waites. In addition, Waites' testimony pages 5 through 18 and
Nemnich's testimony pages 6 through 36 have been further described in Idaho Power's
responses to Staffs production requests Nos. 42, 44, 48, 50, 56, and 57.
The response to this Request was prepared by Darlene Nemnich, Senior Pricing
Analyst, and Courtney Waites, Pricing Analyst, Idaho Power Company, in consultation
with Barton L. Kline, Lead Counsel, Idaho Power Company.
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FOURTH PRODUCTION
REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY - 3
REQUEST NO. 44: In testimony by Company witnesses Nemnich and Waites,
several statements are made regarding the strength, weakness, or introductory level of
price signals within rate design. In light of this, please provide electronic copies of all
analyses regarding the evaluation of these signals and the impact on customer behavior
(Le. load shifting, load shedding).
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 44: The overall goal of the Company's rate
design as outlined by Mr. Gale in his testimony is to design cost-based rates that
encourage increased energy effciency. When referring to "strength, weakness or
introductory level," a stronger price signal is one that moves rate levels further toward
this goal. For example, when pursuing a goal of encouraging energy effciency, instead
of applying a uniform average percentage increase to all rate components, a stronger
price signal to conserve would be one that increases one rate component by a larger
percentage in order to provide customers an incentive to shift or shave energy
consumption. This strategy is based on standard economic theory which holds that as
prices rise, customers reduce the quantity demanded, and as prices drop, customers
increase the quantity demanded. All of the Company's analyses are done with the
above goal in mind. See responses to Request Nos. 43 and 45.
The response to this Request was prepared by Darlene Nemnich, Senior Pricing
Analyst and Courtney Waites, Pricing Analyst, Idaho Power Company, in consultation
with Barton L. Kline, Lead Counsel, Idaho Power Company.
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FOURTH PRODUCTION
REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY - 4
REQUEST NO. 45: With regards to Schedule 19, has IPC analyzed the pre
time-of-use biling structure in order to evaluate how the current time-of-use rate
structure has influenced customer consumption behaviors, specifically, how differentials
and time-of-use price signaling has impacted behavior? If so, please provide this to
Staff. If not, please explain why not. (Nemnich Testimony, page 19)
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 45: In May 2007, Idaho Power conducted a
study to examine if there was any shifting of energy usage by Schedule 19 customers
between time blocks during June, July, and August as a result of implementation of
time-of-use rates. The overview and findings of this study is attached hereto. Since the
data set and graphs contain confidential customer information, Idaho Power is providing
this information only to parties that have executed the Protective Agreement.
The response to this Request was prepared by Darlene Nemnich, Senior Pricing
Analyst, Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Barton L. Kline, Lead Counsel,
Idaho Power Company.
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FOURTH PRODUCTION
REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY - 5
REQUEST NO. 46: Please provide a list of all Schedule 9 customers who have
moved to another Schedule (e.g. Schedule 19) since January 2005. Please provide the
dates of the transfer, as well as the monthly usage for each customer.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 46: Please see the table attached hereto for a
list of Schedule 9 primary customers who have moved to Schedule 19 primary since
January 2005. There was no movement between Schedule 9 transmission customers
and Schedule 19 transmission customers, nor was there movement between Schedule
9 secondary customers and Schedule 19 secondary customers during that time.
Account numbers and USA numbers have been masked.
The response to this Request was prepared by Darlene Nemnich, Senior Pricing
Analyst, Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Barton L. Kline, Lead Counsel,
Idaho Power Company.
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FOURTH PRODUCTION
REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY - 6
REQUEST NO. 47: When determining the demand charge differentials for
Schedule 9 summer vs. non-summer customers, Company witness Nemnich says in
testimony: "In order to move towards alignment with cost-of-service, my proposal is to
move 25 percent closer to the cost-of-service results." When cost-of-service results
show differentials between summer and non-summer demand to be 62 percent for
Schedule 9 customers, how was 25 percent determined as appropriate? (Nemnich
Testimony, page 22)
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 47: As mentioned in Nemnich's testimony, the
overall goal for setting the seasonal demand charge differential was to move closer to
cost of service numbers, as well as maintain the relationships among schedules and
service levels. Moving 25 percent closer to the cost of service levels for this rate
component was a reasonable step towards this goal, and provided some overall stabilty
in the rate structure.
The response to this Request was prepared by Darlene Nemnich, Senior Pricing
Analyst, Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Barton L. Kline, Lead Counsel,
Idaho Power Company.
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FOURTH PRODUCTION
REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY - 7
REQUEST NO. 48: After Company witness Nemnich describes the time-of-use
differentials associated with Schedule 9, she says "these are not very large but do
provide an introductory level of time differentiated rates. Customers have the
opportunity to become familiar with time variant pricing gradually, see how their usage
patterns impact their bils, and plan accordingly." What range of customer behavior
responses represents "introductory level" differentials? (Nemnich Testimony, page 26)
Please provide all analyses on this "introductory level",
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 48: The concept of introductory levels of price
signals for time-of-use rates was primarily taken from Order No. 29505, issued in May
2004. The Commission, when setting time-of-use rates for Schedule 19 customers,
approved "conservative levels" of differentials and also found the differentials to be a
"reasonable first step" (page 61). Differentials approved in Order No. 29505 for
Schedule 19 customers are similar to those proposed by Idaho Power for Schedule 9
customers in this filing. When designing TOU rates for Schedule 9 customers, the
desire is to provide a reasonable first step or "introductory" step towards providing
customers time variant prices reflects hourly and daily cost changes, similar to when
TOU were first implemented for Schedule 19 customers as mentioned above.
The response to this Request was prepared by Darlene Nemnich, Senior Pricing
Analyst, Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Barton L. Kline, Lead Counsel,
Idaho Power Company.
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FOURTH PRODUCTION
REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY - 8
REQUEST NO. 49: According to Company witness Nemnich "Idaho Power can
avoid the costs of manual bil processing associated with shadow bils that occurred
during the Schedule 19 time-of-use rate implementation." Please provide all the
cost/benefit analyses showing how a shadow bil "phase-in" period for time-of-use rates
wil add more toward administrative expenses than the benefit incrementally added?
(Nemnich Testimony, page 29)
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 49: The additional administrative cost of
providing shadow bils to Schedule 9 customers for six months is estimated to be about
$100,000. The added cost results because there is no automated process to provide
these bils; it is a manual process both in the metering and billng areas. While
providing these shadow bils in 2004 to Schedule 19 customers, Idaho Power found
there was confusion among some customers receiving two bils. And, because the bil
often goes to the accounting department and not to operations personnel, the benefit of
providing this information was diminished,
Instead of providing shadow bils to Schedule 9 customers, Idaho Power believes
this change can be better managed proactively through an education process. As
stated on pages 28 and 29 of Ms. Nemnich's testimony; the Company:
. , . propose(s) implementing a customer communication and
education plan that provides customers with information on
the possible impact of time-of-use rates on their bils,
Examples of energy conservation or load shifting ideas may
be also provided at that time.
By working with customers before the rates go into effect,
they can plan and make purchasing decisions and determine
how best to react to the new structure. In turn, by providing
customer support up front, Idaho Power can avoid the costs
of manual bil processing associated with shadow bils that
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FOURTH PRODUCTION
REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY - 9
occurred during the Schedule 19 time-of-use rate
implementation.
The Company believes there may be benefi to providing this information
comprehensively with a look over the previous year's usage pattern instead of month to
month. In this process, the hope is to manage the expectations of customers so they
may better understand the potential impact of time-of-use rates on their bils and
operate accordingly.
The response to this Request was prepared by Darlene Nemnich, Senior Pricing
Analyst, Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Barton L. Kline, Lead Counsel,
Idaho Power Company.
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FOURTH PRODUCTION
REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY - 10
REQUEST NO. 50: When asked if Company witness Nemnich thought the
Schedule 9 and Schedule 19 rate components and differentials were reasonable, she
replied "I reviewed time-of-use rate structures of the other utilities and found that a total
overall differential of 46 percent is within a typical range." What other utilities' time-of-
use rate structures were examined and how was reasonableness assessed? (Nemnich
Testimony, page 34)
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 50: Following is a table showing a list of utilities
and their time-of-use tariffs with estimates of the On-Peak to Off-Peak Energy Charge
differentials that were reviewed. This table shows that the On-Peak to Off-Peak
differential of 46 percent, proposed by Idaho Power, for Schedule 19 TOU rates is within
a range established and used by other electric utilities.
The response to this Request was prepared by Darlene Nemnich, Senior Pricing
Analyst, Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Barton L. Kline, Lead Counsel,
Idaho Power Company,
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FOURTH PRODUCTION
REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY - 11
REQUEST NO. 51: Please provide all the analyses done in determining how the
"Energy Watch Event" rate has affected demand and how IPC arrives at the differential
between the event rate and base rate? (Waites Testimony, page 13)
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 51: Analyses done in determining how the
"Energy Watch Event" rate have affected demand can be found in the Company's
Energy Watch and Time-of-Day Annual Reports filed with the Commission for the years
2005 and 2006. In the 2005 report, please refer to pages 3-4 for a summary of the
program results and pages 19-36 for detailed results. In the 2006 report, a sumrrary
can be found on pages 3-5 and detailed program results are on pages 17-33.
When the event rate and the base rate differentials were first established, a
number of factors were considered. The Company's goal was to find the lowest
possible rate to accomplish price elasticity. The Company used information gathered
from customer focus groups held for our Emmett valley customers. Through these
groups, we learned customers wanted to see savings of at least $10 per month to
participate in a program. In addition, the Company's consultant, RLW, referenced a
successful critical peak pricing program run by Ameren in which their customers paid a
critical peak price of 301f per kWh. In Ameren's critical peak pricing pilot, they combined
critical peak pricing and time-of-use pricing. Their critical peak price of 301f per kWh
was approximately four times the summer mid-peak price. As a result, the Company
found that a rate of 201f per kWh, or about four times the base rate, was a reasonable
event rate,
Based on the demand reductions seen during the pilot program, the Company
has kept the event rate at the 201f per kWh since the beginning of the program.
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FOURTH PRODUCTION
REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY - 12
However, as the base rate has increased over the last few years and is proposed to
increase in 2009, we felt it was reasonable to increase the event rate to 221f per kWh for
two reasons: (1) to attempt to keep the differential between the base rate and the event
rate originally established and (2) to maintain the demand reductions resulting from
participating customers' actions.
The response to this Request was prepared by Courtney Waites, Pricing Analyst,
Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Barton L. Kline, Lead Counsel, Idaho Power
Company.
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FOURTH PRODUCTION
REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY -13
REQUEST NO. 52: Why was 60 percent of the average 2007 residential
customer energy usage used as the benchmark for designing the first block? (Waites
Testimony, page 10)
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 52: Setting the first block of energy at 60
percent of the average 2007 residential customer energy usage, or 600 kWh, was an
attempt to give all customers an incentive to conserve while also allowing for a larger
percentage of basic electric usage (energy usage from lighting, a refrigerator, electric
range, electric oven, a microwave, and a water heater) to be priced at a lower rate. This
level aligned with the basic electric usage studies performed by the Department of
Energy and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, whose results
are provided in Ms Waites' workpapers. A block of 600 kWh fell within the estimated
baseline load for residential customers while stil providing an incentive for conservation.
The response to this Request was prepared by Courtney Waites, Pricing Analyst,
Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Barton L. Kline, Lead Counsel, Idaho Power
Company.
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FOURTH PRODUCTION
REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY - 14
REQUEST NO. 53: Why was only 2007 used in estimating customer energy
usage? Why wasn't a trend developed to forecast usage? If so, why wasn't an average
used? (Waites Testimony, page 10)
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 53: As part of year end reporting processes,
the Company computes the average monthly normalized energy use for residential
customers. For the years 2003 through 2005, there was very little change in the
average monthly usage, But in the 2006 calculation there was a slight increase in the
monthly usage which appeared to be an anomaly. When we found the same increase
in the 2007 normalized energy use, the Company performed bil frequency analyses on
the 2007 energy usage to more accurately reflect the current snapshot and the best
representation of residential customers' current energy usage. While it is true that
energy usage may trend one way or another, change in the residential customer's
usage in the past has been small and therefore not useful as a benchmark for
establishing customers' average energy usage.
The response to this Request was prepared by Courtney Waites, Pricing Analyst,
Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Barton L. Kline, Lead Counsel, Idaho Power
Company,
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FOURTH PRODUCTION
REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY - 15
REQUEST NO. 54: Please provide monthly customer counts and loads used to
determine that average residential baseline usage was 806 kWh and 838 kWh. Please
provide more detail on how May and October 2007 was selected and describe how daily
usage was normalized. Were different geographic regions considered (e.g. McCall vs.
Boise)? (Waites Testimony, page 10)
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 54: The estimated baseline usage of 806 kWh
and 838 kWh was calculated based on bil frequency analyses for May and October
2007, which provided the total number of customer bils and total kWhs. For May 2007,
there were 390,295 total bils and 314,733,949 total kWhs for an average of 806 kWh
per bilL. For October 2007, there were 393,585 total bils and 329,937,115 total kWhs
for an average of 838 kWh's per bilL. Both May and October 2007 were selected as
months to use to estimate baseline usage because it would be reasonable to assume
that neither an air conditioner nor a heater would be running, or, if running, would have
minimal usage. Daily usage was not normalized to estimate baseline usage nor were
different geographic regions considered. The bil frequency analyses performed were
by rate class as a way to gather a reasonable estimate of baseline usage.
The response to this Request was prepared by Courtney Waites, Pricing Analyst,
Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Barton L. Kline, Lead Counsel, Idaho Power
Company.
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FOURTH PRODUCTION
REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY - 16
REQUEST NO. 55: In regards to the Schedule 19 billng structure, why has IPC
decided to change the differentials between Off-Peak, Mid-Peak, and On-Peak during
the summer and the differential between Off-Peak and Mid-Peak Energy Charges
during non-summer season? How has IPC determined the differentials? (Nemnich
Testimony, pages 30-31)
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 55: With respect to why Idaho Power proposed
to increase Schedule 19 differentials, please see page 35 of Nemnich's testimony. The
overall rate design objectives also apply as described on pages 3 and 4 of Nemnich's
testimony. The process that Idaho Power used to derive Schedule 19 TOU differentials
is found on pages 33 and 34 of Nemnich's testimony.
The response to this Request was prepared by, Darlene Nerrnich,
Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Barton L. Kline, Lead Counsel, Idaho Power
Company.
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FOURTH PRODUCTION
REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY -17
REQUEST NO. 56: When calculating new Off-Peak Energy Charges for the
Schedule 9 summer and non-summer seasons, why were the current rates "increased
by approximately 7.5 percent"? Why does Nemnich go on to say "This is approximately
half of the total overall increase of 15 percent for Schedule 19 customers"? Why
doesn't Off-Peak represent a smaller portion of the relative total Schedule 19 increase
to convey a price signal of conservation? Please provide all analysis on this. (Nemnich
Testimony, page 34)
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 56: The intent of increasing the Off-Peak rate
only 7.5 percent was to keep the rate low in order to encourage customers to shift
energy from On-Peak time block to the Off-Peak time block. Of all Schedule 19
proposed rate components, the Off-Peak Energy Charge has the smallest increase over
current rates, well below the cost of service revenue requirement of 15 percent.
The response to this Request was prepared by Darlene Nemnich, Senior Pricing
Analyst, Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Barton L. Kline, Lead Counsel,
Idaho Power Company.
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FOURTH PRODUCTION
REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY - 18
REQUEST NO. 57: When calculating the new Schedule 19 Mid-Peak Energy
Charges in an "iterative process" resulting in new differentials, what "iterative process"
was used? (Nemnich Testimony, page 34)
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 57: After the new Service, Basic, Demand, and
On-Peak Demand are initially set based on overall rate design goals, these charges are
multiplied by test year billng units to determine overall impact on revenue requirement
targets. The remaining revenue requirement shortall is split up between the On-Peak,
Mid-Peak, and Off-Peak time blocks for both seasons in an iterative process focusing
on the rate design goals for these Energy Charges. The iterative process referred to
here is simply adjusting the specific energy charges until the revenue requirement for
that customer class is met.

IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FOURTH PRODUCTION
REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY - 20
REQUEST NO. 59: Did the Company consider other possible rate tiers for the
residential customers beyond those proposed in this filing? If so, what alternatives were
considered? Why was a two-tier system selected over, for example, a three-tier rate
structure?
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 59: When considering possible rate tiers, the
Company reviewed the rate design of other utilities across the nation who offered a
tiered rate structure to residential customers. The Company discovered a number of
two-tier and three-tier rate structures as well as the block levels for the tiers (see
attached worksheet). Research indicated a two-tiered rate structure was most common
for utilities in the Pacific Northwest area. In addition, at the time of the research, Rocky
Mountain Power had an active filing with the Utah Public Service Commission
requesting to move from a three-tiered structure to a two-tiered structure. Rocky
Mountain Power conducted studies to assess customers' understanding of their
residential rates. Their conclusion was that their three-tier rate structure was not
understood by customers and had a significant impact on consumption decisions.
Because of this, Rocky Mountain Power proposed to simplify their rate structure by
eliminating one of the three blocks. Idaho Power also experienced customer
dissatisfaction with three-tier rates that were implemented in 2001. As a result, the
Company recommends continuance of the current two-tier structure, A two-tier rate
structure is a design that is familiar and easier to understand for customers yet is also
an effective way to send a clear price signaL.
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FOURTH PRODUCTION
REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY - 21
The response to this Request was prepared by Courtney Waites, Pricing Analyst,
Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Barton L. Kline, Lead Counsel, Idaho Power
Company.
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FOURTH PRODUCTION
REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY - 22
REQUEST NO. 60: On page 2 of Company witness Waites' testimony, the
proposed rate design for residential customers is "both cost-based and encourages
increased energy efficiency." Please explain how the two-tier rate structure, with
summer and non-summer differentials, adheres to the 'cost-based' criteria. Specifically,
what resources (costs) are associated with the first rate block (up to 600 kWh) and what
resources are associated with the second block?
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 60: As can be seen in the residential class
cost-of-service study results, Mr. Tatum's Exhibit No. 67 page 1 of 6, line 60, columns
(G) and (H), the unit cost of energy for the residential class is approximately 27 percent
higher in the summer months than it is in the non-summer months, supporting the
proposed seasonalized rates. The unit cost results detailed on Exhibit No. 67 were
produced under the 3CP/12CP cost-of-service study. On pages 19 through 24 of his
testimony, Mr. Tatum describes the 3CP/12CP cost-of-service methodology and how it
was applied to allocate the fixed costs associated with each of the Company's
generation resources, The allocation factors that drive the seasonalization of the fixed
generation costs under the 3CP/12CP method can be found on Exhibit No. 68, pages 1
and 2 of 6. The two-tier rate structure reflects the fact that marginal energy costs
exceed embedded costs and is intended to send that price signal on to customers.

Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Barton L. Kline, Lead Counsel, Idaho Power
Company.
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FOURTH PRODUCTION
REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY - 23
REQUEST NO. 61: Please provide an analysis demonstrating that the cost to
provide the first 600 kWh of energy to residential Schedule 1 customers is higher in the
summer than non-summer months. Specifically address the embedded resources for
each season.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 61: Please refer to Idaho Power's response to
Staffs production request No. 60 for an explanation of the factors that drive
seasonalized rates.

Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Barton L. Kline, Lead Counsel, Idaho Power
Company.
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FOURTH PRODUCTION
REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY - 24
REQUEST NO. 62: What effect on residential energy consumption does the
Company expect from implementation of its Tiered Rate Proposal? Please provide any
analysis used to support that expectation.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 62: The Company did not incorporate any
possible price elasticity into our studies or analyses as a result of the tiered rate
proposals.

IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S RESPONSE TO THE FOURTH PRODUCTION
REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY - 25
REQUEST NO. 63: Please provide an analysis for the residential customer
classes that show the percentage of fixed costs included in energy rates by proposed
rate block for both summer and non-summer months. Does the Company believe that
the proposed changes to rate design wil affect the recovery of fixed costs during the
remainder of the FCA pilot program? Why or why not?
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 63: The only analysis performed regarding the
portion of the fixed costs included in the energy rates can be found on Mr. Tatum's
Exhibit No. 71 page 3 of 3, column (L). This calculation is the derivation of the portion
of the residential energy rate that recovers fixed costs. The Company has not
performed an analysis on the impact of the proposed rate design on the FCA.

SUBJECT: Time-of-Use analysis for Idaho Power's Schedule 19 customers
In Order No, 29505 dated May 25, 2004, the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (I PUC) approved
Idaho Power's request to implement mandatory time-of-use rates (TOU) for Schedule 19 customers, The
rates include on-peak, mid-peak, and off-peak energy prices to be in effect during June, July and August.
During the other nine months, mid-peak and off-peak energy rates are in effect. The intent of this rate
design is to more closely align prices with costs and thus provide the economic signal that energy is more
costly during both the peak hours of the day and the peak months of the year. In May, 2007, an analysis
was completed to evaluate any impact of the implementation of TOU pricing for Idaho Power's Schedule
19 customers, Described below is a summary of the analysis.
Time-of-Use Analvsis
The purpose of the analysis was to evaluate what impact, if any, TOU rates may have had on
customers' usage patterns during our high demand periods of June, July and August. Hourly data was
retrieved for all Schedule 19 customers during these months in the years 2004, 2005, and 2006, This
data was then grouped by on-peak, mid-peak, and off-peak hours separately for each year and for each
customer. Once the data was grouped, the customers were then sorted into seven customer categories:
manufacturing, food processing, education, city/county/state, medical, offce building, and other, The
categories were created to lump customers with similar end-use energy usage together for comparison.
The data for these seven customer classes within Schedule 19 was then graphed, comparing the percent
of energy consumed during each of the TOU periods in 2004, 2005, and 2006, Separately, all the
Schedule 19 customers were sorted by total energy consumed and a line graph was prepared for each of
the top five customers, comparing their energy use for each of the three years,
Findings
When looking at the data groups described above, the following two conclusions can be made: 1)
almost all customers use the majority of their energy during the mid-peak hours, the least during the on-
peak-hours, and the off peak hour usage falls in between, and 2) customer usage patterns do not appear
to be influenced by TOU rates, The only customer category that varies slightly from the trend is the offce
building category; those customers consume the most energy during the mid-peak hours like the rest, but
the least energy is consumed during the off-peak hours.
The TOU rates were phased-in in 2004 at the direction of the Commission. Between June 1 and
December 1, 2004 Schedule 19 customers were given two bils: the actual bil to be paid and a second
bil showing the charges had the TOU rates been in effect. Actual bils began reflecting the TOU rates
effective December 1, 2004. The goal was to give customers time to prepare to operate cost-effectively
under the new rates, However, over the course of the three years, Schedule 19 customers showed no
noticeable shifting of energy use between the on-peak, mid-peak, and off-peak hours,
Recommendations
In its Order, the Commission recommended establishing the summer peak energy differentials
conservatively because this was the first time the Company had implemented mandatory TOU rates, It is
possible that because the differentials are on the conservative side, no incentive for load shifting is
provided, However, it is important to note some rate activities during the course of the TOU rates, During
this time, we came off of six consecutive bad water years for one good water year resulting in a PCA
credit for customers rather than a charge and we had a small base rate increase. In light of the various
rate activities during this time, it is diffcult to determine any definitive conclusions from the usage
patterns. It is my recommendation we continue to analyze TOU pricing as we are implementing
additional rate activities which may incent customers to shift energy usage, The Company wil continue to
send price signals as a more appropriate cost recovery mechanism,
