Power Company dated February 1,2017 , as follows:
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S SUPPLEi'ENTAL RESPONSE
TO MICRON TECHNOLOGY, INC.'S DATA REQUEST NO. 1-4 - 1
REQUEST NO. 14: Please quantify the dollar revenue requirement difference
between the Company's proposal to accelerate Valmy depreciation rates, and leaving
the currently-approved depreciation rates in place (i.e., no acceleration), regardless of
the actual retirement dates for Valmy 1 and Valmy 2 under each of the following
scenarios:
a. lncluding full recovery of the forecasted capital additions and
decommissioning costs described in Exhibit 2 of Mr. Larkin's testimony; and
b. Without including recovery of the forecasted capital additions and
decommissioning costs. (ln other words, including only the plant investment through
12-31-16).
SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 14: To perform the above-
requested analysis, ldaho Power assumed a 2035 depreciable life for all Valmy
investments and assumed the same capital addition forecast included in Exhibit No. 2 to
Mr. Larkin's testimony. Please see the Excel file provided electronically with this
response for the workpapers that support the analysis.
a. The Valmy incremental annual levelized revenue requirement under a
2035 depreciable life includinq lull recovery of forecasted capital additions and
decommissioning costs would be $8,830,210 on an ldaho jurisdictional basis compared
to the $28,497,934 presented in Exhibit No. 2.
b. The Valmy incremental annual levelized revenue requirement under a
2035 depreciable life excludino full recovery of forecasted capital additions and
decommissioning costs would be $6,364,611 on an ldaho jurisdictional basis compared
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE
