6. Mr. Tatum's testimony (beginning on page 10, line 16) describes the manner in which
the net benefit of Langley Gulch to the Company's power supply costs was
developed. The testimony goes on to state that the Company used the "net power
supply expense, which was based on a 2010 test year." Regarding that base case,
please provide the following:
a.What was the monthly generation level load (Idaho Retail, Oregon Retail, and
Wholesale) that was used for each month of that 2010 test period?
b.What were the monthly sales level loads for each Idaho rate schedule and Special
Contract customer?
c.What were the monthly sales level loads for each Oregon rate schedule customer?
d.What were the price(s) of natural gas that were used in this base case?
7. Mr. Tatum's testimony (beginning on page 10, line 19) describes the manner in which
the net benefit of Langley Gulch to the Company's power supply costs was calculated
"with the original 2010 load and resource inputs" by calculating a "revised base level
net power supply expense". Please answer the following:
a. Is it correct that the loads used in the "revised" power supply expense calculation
are the same as those listed in the response to "6 a-c" above? If not, please supply

DATA REQUESTS TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY
values similar to those requested in "6 a-c" above, except for the "revised"
calculation.
b.Is it correct that the natural gas prices used in the "revised" power supply expense
calculation are the same as those listed in the response to "6 d" above? If not,
please supply values similar to those requested in "6 d" above, except for the
"revised" calculation.
c.Why did the Company choose to perform these calculations on the basis of the
original 2010 load and resource inputs as opposed to the 2011 test year loads used
in Case No. IPC-E-1 1-08 or the June 1, 2012 through May 31, 2013 test year
loads used in Case Nos. IPC-E-12-08 and IPC-E-12-13?
8.Please rerun the "revised" power supply expense calculation as discussed on page 10,
line 19 of Mr. Tatum's testimony with loads based upon Company Exhibit 2 in Case
No. IPC-E-12-13 and with whatever natural gas prices the Company believes to be
"current". Please supply in electronic format the Company's Power Supply cost for
each of the 81 years examined in a manner similar to Company Exhibit 1 in Case No.
IPC-E- 10-01.
9.Please provide actual monthly sales and customer count data for each customer
grouping in Oregon and Idaho from January 2005 through the most recent month
available. Please supply monthly wholesale sales data as well.
10.Please supply in electronic format for each month since January 2008 the billing
month normalized billing determents (and associated revenue) of each of the rate
categories in the Idaho jurisdiction.
