Taking this important first ratemaking step now will position the Company to study this segment of customers, providing the data necessary to understand how this customer segment utilizes the Company's system. The data quantifying the usage of the system will inform what costs (revenue requirement) are appropriately allocated to the newly established customer classes in a future rate proceeding (class cost-of-service process)." a. Please indicate whether you contend that ldaho law requires that customers with on-site generation be designated as a separate rate class before they can be analyzed in a class cost-of-service analysis for a future general rate case. lf so please provide references to the controlling statute(s), regulation(s), and/or case(s). b. Please identify the most recent five (5) instances when a new class was established and, for each such instance, please identify the Commission order approving the new class. c. Please identify the most recent five (5) instances when you proposed to create a new class but the Commission did not approve such proposal and, for each such instance, please identify the Commission order or other decision rejecting the proposal. d. Please identify each instance when you included a proposed class of customers in a cost-of-service study filed with the Commission, prior to the Commission approving the creation of a new class for such customers.
