The Staff of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission, by and through its attorney of record,
Kristine A. Sasser, Deputy Attorney General, requests that Idaho Power Company (Company)
provide the following documents and information AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BUT NO LATER
THAN THURSDAY, DECEMBER llo 2014.
This Production Request is to be considered as continuing, and Idaho Power Company is
requested to provide, by way of supplementary responses, additional documents that it or any person
acting on its behalf may later obtain that will augment the documents produced.
Please provide answers to each question and any supporting workpapers that provide detail or
are the source of information used in calculations. The Company is reminded that responses pursuant
to Commission Rules of Procedure must include the name and phone number of the person preparing
the document, and the name, location and phone number of the record holder and, if different, the

SECOND PRODUCTION REQUEST
TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY NOVEMBER20,2Ol4
In addition to the written copies provided as response to the questions, please provide all
Excel and electronic files on CD with formulas activated.
REQUEST NO.3: Idaho Power's application states under Paragraph 15 that "[c]onsistent
and material deviations from the hourly energy estimates in the generation profile will be considered
by Idaho Power to be a material breach of the agreement--meaning that the entire pricing is
fundamentally flawed as a result of an inaccurate generation profile". Please discuss how consistent
and material the deviations need to be before the entire pricing can be considered fundamentally
flawed, and before Idaho Power would consider this to be a material breach of the agreement.
REQUEST NO. 4: If the entire pricing is considered fundamentally flawed, what actions
would Idaho Power take?
