COMES NOW, Idaho Power Company ("Company") and supplements its
response to the Commission Staffs Production Request No. 9 to Idaho Power
Company dated January 9, 2013, as follows:
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE TO
THE COMMISSION STAFF'S PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 9-I
REQUEST NO. 9: For each customer taking Net Metering Service, please
provide an annual comparison of bills calculated using the current rates versus the
proposed rates. As part of your response, please include each customer's monthly
energy consumption, demand, generation, and excess energy.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 9: Following the submission
of the Company's response to Staff's Request for Production No. 9, it was discovered
that for certain customers in certain months, excess net energy figures used in the
analysis were inconsistent with kilowatt-hour ("kWh") figures actually credited to
customers and reflected in the Company's Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) mechanism.
These inconsistencies were the result of manual bill overrides that were necessary to
properly bill these customers in these months. The manual overrides associated with
excess net energy were not captured by the report utilized to prepare the analysis in the
Company's initial response to Staffs Request for Production No. 9, resulting in
inconsistencies between certain excess net energy values used in the Company's
analysis and amounts actually credited to customers. To reconcile the analysis
provided in the Company's initial response to Staff's Request for Production No. 9 with
excess net energy credited to customers in 2012, please see the confidential Excel file
provided on the confidential disk. This file lists by customer and month revised kWh
figures that reflect actual excess net energy credited over the 2012 billing year.
Because the Excel file is confidential, it will only be provided to those parties who have
executed the Protective Agreement in place in this matter.
The response to this Request was prepared by Matthew T. Larkin, Regulatory
Analyst II, Idaho Power Company, in consultation with Julia A. Hilton, Corporate
Counsel, Idaho Power Company.
