IPC-E-23-11 IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO IDAHO POWER COMPANY COMES NOW, Idaho Power Company (“Idaho Power” or “Company”), and in response to the Third Production Request of the Commission Staff (“Commission” or “Staff”) dated July 5, 2023, herewith submits the following information: IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 2 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 81: Please provide a detailed explanation of the Company's calculation of uncollectible accounts. Please also include workpapers in Excel format with all formulas intact. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 81: The Company calculated a 10-year average (2013 – 2022) of the yearly percentage of uncollectible accounts (or bad debt expense) divided by revenue. The 10-year average of 0.351 percent was then multiplied by the 2023 forecasted revenue amount of $1,641,862,697. The result of $5,770,879 is the forecasted amount of 2023 uncollectible account expense. Please see Excel file “Attachment – Response to Staff Request No. 81” for calculation and formulas. The response to this Request is sponsored by Paula Jeppsen, Forecasting and Planning Manager, Idaho Power Company. IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 3 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 82: Please provide an explanation of the increases in payroll expenses in April 2022 and September 2022 according to the workpaper provided by Company Witness Noe "Payroll Annualizing Adjustments 2023." RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 82: The increase in payroll expense in the months of April and September 2022 was due to three pay periods occurring in those months whereas the other months only had two pay periods. The response to this Request is sponsored by Kelley Noe, Regulatory Consultant, Idaho Power Company. IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 4 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 83: Please explain why December 2022 payroll expenses were annualized multiplying by 13 instead of by 12 in the workpaper provided by Company Witness Noe "Payroll Annualizing Adjustments 2023." RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 83: The December 2022 payroll expense was multiplied by 13 because December had two pay periods and there are 26 pay periods per year. Multiplying by 12 would understate payroll expense. The response to this Request is sponsored by Kelley Noe, Regulatory Consultant Idaho Power Company. IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 5 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 84: Please provide the plan documents for each of the Company's qualified retirement plans. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 84: The requested information is provided in Attachment 1 – Response to Staff Request No. 84 – 401k Plan Document and Attachment 2 – Response to Staff Request No. 84 – Pension Plan Document. The response to this Request is sponsored by Sarah Griffin, VP, Human Resources, Idaho Power Company. IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 6 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 85: Please provide the Summary Plan Description for each of the Company's qualified retirement plans. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 85: The requested information is provided in Confidential Attachment 1 – Response to Staff Request No. 85 and Confidential Attachment 2 – Response to Staff Request No. 85. The response to this Request is sponsored by Sarah Griffin, VP, Human Resources, Idaho Power Company. IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 7 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 86: Please provide statistics regarding employee turnover rate from 2018 through 2022. Please indicate percentages of employees each year who retired, were terminated, or voluntarily resigned. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 86: The chart below provides employee turnover statistics from 2018 through 2022, excluding seasonal employees. Turnover Rate Category 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Retirement Turnover 2.90% 2.90% 3.80% 3.10% 2.90% Voluntary Turnover (excluding retirement) 1.80% 1.60% 2.10% 2.90% 3.30% Overall Voluntary Turnover 4.70% 4.40% 5.80% 6.00% 6.20% Involuntary Turnover 1.30% 1.30% 0.70% 0.80% 1.00% Overall Turnover 6.00% 5.70% 6.60% 6.80% 7.20% The response to this Request is sponsored by Sarah Griffin, VP, Human Resources, Idaho Power Company. IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 8 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 87: Has the Company conducted any comparative analyses of employee retention rates for companies offering defined benefit plans vs. companies offering defined contribution plans. If yes, please provide the analysis. If not, why not. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 87: Idaho Power monitors turnover data at peer companies through the Company’s industry associations and did a turnover survey for 2022 in early 2023 with the Human Resource leader group at Western Energy Institute (“WEI”). There were 20 respondents, including Idaho Power. The Company researched whether these companies had open defined benefit pension plans and compared turnover rates of those with and without. Of note, three of the companies reported anonymously, so the number analyzed was reduced to 17, 12 of which had open defined benefit pension plans in 2022. The average turnover rate of those companies with defined benefit pension plans was 5.25 percent compared to 6.14 percent at companies without. While this information supports the notion that retention rates tend to be lower for companies with a defined benefit pension plan, it is important to recognize several of the responding companies have closed pension plans with active employees who are still under the closed pension plan. That said, one could reasonably assume the difference in retention rates could be even greater than the attached analysis suggests. The Company has provided additional information on the WEI turnover study and the Company’s pension analysis; please see Confidential Attachment 1 – Response to Staff Request No. 87 and Confidential Attachment 2 – Response to Staff Request No. 87. The response to this Request is sponsored by Sarah Griffin, VP, Human Resources, Idaho Power Company. IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 9 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 88: Please provide statistics regarding the percentage of employees who participate in the defined contribution plan. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 88: As of plan year end 2022, 94.6 percent of employees were participating in the defined contribution plan. The response to this Request is sponsored by Sarah Griffin, VP, Human Resources, Idaho Power Company. IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 10 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 89: Please outline the incentive criteria for non-executive employees and provide copies of any incentive plans or policies. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 89: The annual Employee Incentive Plan has a target payout of six percent of base pay and includes three equally weighted components: operational, customer service, and profit-sharing. As described on page 27 of Ms. Griffin’s direct testimony the only components that are included in the test year are the components directly related to identifiable customer benefits, which in this case are network reliability and customer satisfaction. These components are included in the test year at the 2 percent target (medium) incentive level. Operational and Customer Service Goals: The operational and customer service goals include the customer satisfaction goal and the network reliability goal, and the profit- sharing opportunity is based on qualified annual earnings. The customer satisfaction goal will be based on the 12-month average of the customer relationship index (“CRI”). As described in more detail on pages 9-13 of Mr. Hanchey’s direct testimony, the CRI measures the Company’s performance from the perspective of the customer and is based on a rolling 12-month average for the period beginning January 1 through December 31. The index consists of five specific questions asked of Idaho Power’s customers by an independent survey company and addresses issues, such as overall satisfaction, quality, value, advocacy, and loyalty. The CRI goal for each year is published in the Employee Incentive Plan Goals document. The network reliability goal considers the frequency and duration of customer outages. It is measured using the number of interruptions longer than five minutes IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 11 experienced during the year by customers. The annual network reliability goal is published in the Employee Incentive Plan Goals document. Profit-Sharing Goal: Profit-sharing payment is based on IDACORP’s achievement against predetermined financial targets. The annual net income target percentage payouts are published in the Employee Incentive Plan Goals document. Any performance payout between the levels published in the Employee Incentive Plan document will be prorated. While the Profit-Sharing component is included in the market evaluation of compensation, it is not included in the Company’s revenue requirement, and therefore not funded by customers. Plan details on participation eligibility, payment of awards, and the effect of termination on potential awards can be found in the Employee Incentive Plan documents, which are provided as Attachment 1 – Response to Staff Request No. 89 and Confidential Attachment 2 – Response to Staff Request No. 89. The response to this Request is sponsored by Sarah Griffin, VP, Human Resources, Idaho Power Company. IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 12 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 90: Please provide details regarding any occurrence where severance pay was issued in years 2018 through 2022, if applicable. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 90: The Company does not maintain a formal severance program, but there are circumstances when terminated employees are offered severance in exchange for signing an agreement broadly releasing claims. The Company may offer severance related to organizational restructuring or when an employee has been unsuccessful in their job despite coaching and performance management and the employee’s best efforts, combined with other complicating risk factors. However, the Company most frequently offers severance as a cost-mitigation tool to reduce the likelihood of unnecessary expenditure in defending frivolous claims when the Company believes the claims or potential claims can be resolved for a more reasonable cost in the form of a severance payment. The circumstances surrounding these severance payments are highly confidential personnel matters, and the discussions related to these payments are attorney-client privileged. Therefore, only dates and payment amounts are available for on-site review. The response to this Request is sponsored by Sarah Griffin, VP, Human Resources, Idaho Power Company. IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 13 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 91: Please provide job descriptions and salaries for all executive officers and members of the board of directors. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 91: Please see Confidential Attachment 1 – Response to Staff Request No. 91. The response to this Request is sponsored by Sarah Griffin, VP, Human Resources, Idaho Power Company. IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 14 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 92: The Company released a Mobile Application ("App") "...due to the increasing shift in customers' preferences toward accessing their account and service-related information on the go." Hanchey Direct at 15. Please respond to the following about the App: a. Please provide any surveys, focus group, or other supporting documentation used to inform the Company of customer preferences of accessing information on the go. In the response, please include the results of any surveys conducted including population size, how the survey was distributed, and response rate by distribution method; b. Please provide a supporting worksheet that details the actual amount spent on development, implementation, maintenance, and advertisement of the App by year since the development of the App to date; c. Please provide a brief description and a supporting worksheet that breaks down forecasted spend by year for 2023-2025 for the App; d. Please explain if the Company conducted a cost benefit analysis for its App. If yes, please provide the cost benefit analysis. If not, please explain why not; e. Please explain how the Company promotes its App to customers. Please provide supporting documentation; f. Since it launched, please provide a worksheet detailing the number of customers who have downloaded the App by month, the number of customers who use the App on a monthly basis, the number of customers who pay their bills monthly through the App, the number of customers who signed up for push notifications by month through the App; and IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 15 g. Please provide an example of how a customer's bill displays through the App. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 92: a. J.D. Power Customer Satisfaction Studies have shown a positive correlation between Idaho Power’s customer satisfaction and the use of My Account. With 97 percent of Americans owning a mobile phone1 and 37 percent of individuals typically using their mobile phone to access the internet,2 the implementation of a mobile application was a logical next step for the Company. Additionally, according to the results of a 2019 Chartwell Survey, which is included as Attachment 1 – Response to Staff Request No. 92a, 53 percent of responding utilities already offered an option for customers to pay via mobile application, and another 24 percent of responding utilities were considering offering a mobile application within the next two years. A 2018 Customer Satisfaction Survey by Chartwell also reported notable increases in customer satisfaction for utilities offering digital self-service options. On average, customers who were aware that their utility offered a mobile application experienced an overall positive increase in customer satisfaction of 8 percent, and for customers within the 35-65 age bracket, the positive increase in customer satisfaction was higher at 11 percent. This survey also noted that for respondents who had downloaded and used their utility’s mobile application to view and pay their bills, these respondents, on average, rated their utility more favorably in regard to ease of doing business and customer loyalty. A copy of this survey is included as Attachment 2 – Response to Staff Request No. 92a. 1 Pew Research Center, Mobile fact sheet, April 7, 2021. 2 Pew Research Center, Mobile Technology and Home Broadband 2019, June 13, 2019. IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 16 Similarly, in recent quarterly customer relationship surveys conducted by Burke, customers reported an increasing use of their mobile phones to access My Account (an increase from 16 percent in mid-2019 to approximately 27 percent in mid-2023); a summary of these results is included as Attachment 3 – Response to Staff Request No. 92a. Burke conducts its quarterly customer relationship surveys using phone and online methodologies, and the annual number of interviews conducted is detailed below. 1. 942 in 2019 2. 947 in 2020 3. 955 in 2021 4. 949 in 2022 b. Please see Attachment 1 – Response to Staff Request No. 92b and note that the maintenance costs do not include internal labor costs related to supporting the mobile application, as the Company does not currently track the number of support hours dedicated to its mobile application. c. Please see Attachment 1 – Response to Staff Request No. 92c. d. Yes, Idaho Power did conduct a cost benefit analysis for the mobile application, which has been provided as Attachment 1 – Response to Staff Request No. 92d. This cost benefit analysis only included quantifiable costs and benefits, and therefore does not account for the non-quantifiable benefits associated with increased customer satisfaction, which was the primary driver for implementing the technology. IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 17 e. Research shows that customers between the ages of 18 and 45, and who live in more urban areas, are more likely to download a mobile application. Most of the Company’s marketing for its mobile application is digital and targets residential customers, with a few select advertising channels focusing more heavily on residents within Treasure Valley and the aforementioned age demographic. A few of the Company’s mobile application advertisements have also focused on targeting business and agricultural customers. A some of the marketing tactics used for the Company’s mobile application include, but are not limited to: 1. App store prioritization through keywords and advertisements 2. Paid search (bringing the app to the top of a customer’s Google search for related information) 3. Digital advertisements during two separate campaign months 4. Bill inserts In addition to the marketing tactics mentioned above, Idaho Power also employs many organic and no-to-low-cost advertising tactics such as, but not limited to: 1. Mobile application-related flyers and signage for public events 2. Digital advertising on Company-owned channels such as its website, within My Account, and using social medial and email platforms 3. IVR hold messages 4. Public presentations 5. Word-of-mouth from customer-facing employees The Company’s mobile application is also mentioned in many different types of customer communications, examples of which are included as Attachment 1 – IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 18 Response to Staff Request No. 92e. f. Please see Attachment 1 – Response to Staff Request No. 92f. g. Please see Attachment 1 – Response to Staff Request No. 92g. The response to this Request is sponsored by Bo Hanchey, VP Customer Operations, Idaho Power Company. IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 19 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 93: For My Account information accessed via desktop computers and by the mobile website, please provide a worksheet separated by desktop computer and mobile website access detailing the number of customers who access their information monthly, the number of customers who pay their bills monthly through My Account, and the number of customers who have signed up for text notifications by month. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 93: Please see Attachment 1 – Response to Staff Request No. 93. Aside from mobile application-specific analytics, the Company does not currently track whether payments or enrollment in text notifications occurs on a desktop computer or mobile device. However, analytics of My Account indicate that approximately 53 percent of users access the website using a desktop and approximately 47 percent access the website using via mobile device. The response to this Request is sponsored by Bo Hanchey, VP of Customer Operations, Idaho Power Company. IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 20 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 94: Hanchey Direct at 29-30 describes a reduction in annual call volumes is likely from various self-serve features implemented by the Company. Please explain if the App and My Account has created any savings in labor due to the reduction in calls to the Customer Service Center. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 94: As more customers sign up for My Account and utilize the Company’s mobile application and other self-service options, the Company anticipates that the number of customers needing to call the Company’s Customer Service Center and interact with Customer Service Representatives will decrease in the future. Because there are multiple factors that drive the number of customer interactions up and down over time, including customer growth, the Company is unable to isolate the impact of any individual factor. The response to this Request is sponsored by Bo Hanchey, VP Of Customer Operations, Idaho Power Company. IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 21 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 95: On page 24 of Hackett's Direct testimony, Hackett states "[t]he Company is requesting in this case to include $146.8 million for 120 MW of battery capacity plus an additional $28 million investment to account for performance degradation over time that will ensure the batteries maintain the 120 MW of capacity." Please respond to the following: a. Please explain how the additional $28 million will be utilized to preserve the batteries' capacity. Please provide supporting workpapers that detail how $28 million would be spent; and b. Please explain if battery preservation costs were included in the least-cost least- risk analysis in Case No. IPC-E-22-13. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 95: a. The Company’s initial investment included the purchase and installation of sufficient battery capacity to eliminate additional battery augmentation to maintain the 120 MW nameplate rating for at least five years. That beginning of life investment is made up of $146.8 million for the 120 MW nameplate capacity plus the $28 million investment in additional investment to mitigate performance degradation. The total investment of $174.8 million included in the Company’s request in this case accounts for the performance degradation guarantees that Powin, LLC must contractually meet the nameplate energy and capacity performance measures over time. Please see Confidential Attachment 1 – Response to Staff Request No. 95 and Confidential Attachment 2 – Response to Staff Request No. 95 for the Battery Energy Supply Agreements between Idaho Power and Powin, LLC for both the Hemingway 80 MW battery energy storage IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 22 system (“BESS”) and Black Mesa 40 MW BESS, respectively. Exhibit E to each Battery Energy Supply Agreement details the contract price associated with the initial battery storage investments necessary to maintain the 120 MW nameplate rating. The remaining costs associated with the total $174.8 million investment were related to the balance of plant activities. Furthermore, Exhibit F to each Battery Energy Supply Agreement details the performance guarantee over time. b. Yes. The investment to account for performance degradation over time was a component of the levelized cost of the resource evaluated as part of the evaluation of all project submittals discussed in Case No. IPC-E-22-13. The response to this Request is sponsored by Eric Hackett, Projects and Design Senior Manager, Idaho Power Company. IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 23 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 96: Please provide the 2023 Integrated Resource Plan ("IRP") analysis and workpapers used to support the Company's rationale to expand the summer season to the end of September. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 96: Idaho Power initially identified the first half of the month of September as a high-risk period in the sensitivity analyses conducted for Case No. IPC-E-21-32 (Application, Table 3), to assess the Company’s Demand Response Programs parameters based on the 2023 load and resource year. The 2023 IRP preliminary analysis utilized to develop the highest-risk hours for defining proposed time-of-use (“TOU”) periods is provided in the Excel file labeled “Attachment – Response to Staff’s Request No. 96.” The “LOLP” tab includes the hourly Loss of Load Probabilities (“LOLP”) and resulting monthly Loss of Load Expectations (“LOLE”) based on the 2025 load and resource year. The chart below shows the monthly LOLE values as a percentage of the annual average for the summer season. IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 24 This chart shows that 47 percent of the risk in the 2025 load and resource year resides in the month of July. As seen, this analysis shows that there is more risk in the month of September than there is in the month of June (by ~1 percent), supporting the decision to include September in the summer season. The response to this Request is sponsored by Jared Ellsworth, Transmission, Distribution, and Resource Planning Director. IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 25 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 97: Please provide the analysis performed by the power supply planning team for the 2023 IRP used to identify highest risks hours for all schedules containing time-of-use ("TOU") components. Aschenbrenner Direct at 21. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 97: Please see the Excel file labeled “Attachment – Response to Staff’s Request No. 96” for the analysis to identify the highest-risk hours for defining proposed TOU periods. The “TOU_Results” tab includes a summary by season of (1) the highest-risk hours and (2) the highest-risk consecutive block. In preparing this response, the Company found that the analysis used to develop the TOU definitions for its residential TOU periods varied slightly from the analysis used to develop TOU for Schedules 9 and 19. In a previous version of this analysis, the highest- risk consecutive block defined the winter/non-summer season’s highest-risk hours as 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. These hours were used to develop the Company’s residential rate design proposal. As provided in the file “Attachment – Response to Staff’s Request No. 96,” the highest-risk consecutive block defined the winter/non-summer highest risk hours as 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. These hours were used for developing the Company’s large commercial and industrial rate design proposals. The Company would recommend updating the definition of on-peak hours for residential TOU to align with the updated analysis, which would align the definitions of on-peak for all schedules containing TOU energy charges. IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 26 The response to this Request is sponsored by Connie Aschenbrenner, Rate Design Senior Manager, Idaho Power Company. IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 27 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 98: Please explain why the proposed expanded summer season for customers consuming energy is different than the proposed summer season in the Company's concurrent export credit rate filing, Case No. IPC-E-23-14. Please provide supporting workpapers. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 98: The proposed expanded summer season for customers consuming energy is June 1 – September 30, and the summer season for the export credit rate in Case No. IPC-E-23-14 is June 15 – September 15. The dates identified for the export credit rate align with the highest risk hours as initially identified in Case No. IPC-E-21-32 (Application, Table 3). The Company’s class cost-of-service study allocates costs on a monthly basis; therefore, the tariff schedule includes summer and non-summer months defined on a monthly basis. The response to this Request is sponsored by Grant T. Anderson, Regulatory Consultant, Idaho Power Company. IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 28 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 99: Please respond to the following questions about the Company's proposed shift of Demand Side Management ("DSM") labor costs from the energy efficiency rider to base rates. a. Under the proposed adjustment, would the Company include labor cost in its cost effectiveness calculations? i. If not, why not? ii. If yes, please explain how the Company would calculate cost effectiveness of its DSM offerings while factoring in labor cost and provide example workpapers demonstrating the calculations in Excel format with equations intact and enabled. b. Please provide the annual DSM labor expenses from 2017 to 2022; c. Please include all calculations used to apply the 2% wage increase year-to-year from 2017 to date; d. For the proposed Schedule 91 Energy Efficiency Rider rate, please provide a forecast for the beginning balance as of January 1, 2024, revenues, expenditures by category (i.e., incentive, marketing, evaluations, etc.), expenditures by programs, and ending balance by month for 2024, 2025, and 2026 in Excel format with all equations intact and enabled. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 99: a. Yes. The Company will continue to use all costs associated with its programs when calculating cost-effectiveness regardless of funding source. IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 29 i. N/A ii. As shown in Appendix 2 of the DSM Annual Reports, expenses for all DSM activity is made up of Idaho Rider, Oregon Rider, and Non-Rider funds. These Non-Rider funds include, but aren’t limited to, O&M expenses. The expenditures for each program and DSM activity are tracked using a work order number. Idaho Power staff working on a DSM program will continue to track labor expenses using the work order system but the account information will be updated to use a non-Rider O&M account rather than the Idaho Rider account. An example of this can be seen in the Irrigation Efficiency Rewards program. Since the inception of the Irrigation Efficiency Rewards program, the program has been supported by a variety of staff including a program specialist, engineer, and agricultural representatives. Many of the positions that support the program existed prior to the implementation of the Rider and as such, only incremental time over and above time from historical positions has been charged to the Rider. In the DSM 2022 Annual Report Supplement 1: Cost-Effectiveness, a detailed breakdown of expenses is found in Table 2. The labor and administrative expenses account for $374,951 of the $2,080,027 total expenses in the Irrigation Efficiency Rewards program. Of those labor and administrative expenses, $55,284 was charged to a non-Rider O&M account. As shown on page 55 of Supplement 1: Cost-Effectiveness, the total expenses of $2,080,027 (which includes Rider and non-Rider funding) are included in the cost-effectiveness IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 30 analysis. See Attachment 1 – Response to Staff Request No. 99 for the cost-effectiveness work paper. When possible, employees charge their time directly to the program work orders they are directly working on as is the case with the Agricultural Representatives. However, if an employee works on several programs, they may charge to an overhead work order. An example would be a Residential and Commercial Energy Advisor speaking to a commercial customer about New Construction, Retrofits, and Custom Projects. These expenses are tracked and included in the portfolio cost-effectiveness. To summarize, incorporating labor costs associated with different funding sources is already built into the Company’s process when calculating cost-effectiveness. Therefore, moving the labor costs to be funded by base rates, and accounting for those costs in the cost- effectiveness calculations, will not materially change the Company’s current process. b.

IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 31 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 100: Please respond to the following regarding the Company's Schedule 5 on-peak/off-peak price differential. a. Please provide the Brattle study and accompanying workpapers referenced in Anderson Direct at 19; and b. Please provide an analysis, in Excel format with formulas enabled and intact, of how the Schedule 5 summer 4.0x and non-summer 1.5x align with actual Company expenditures during those times. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 100: Please see the following responses regarding the Company’s Schedule 5, Time-of-Use service: a. Please see the PDF file labeled “Attachment – Response to Staff’s Request No. 100” for the Brattle study referred to in Anderson Direct at 19. b. The Company’s proposed Schedule 5, Residential Time-of-Use on- and off-peak price ratios are not aligned with actual Company expenditures. Rather, the proposed TOU price ratios were intended to promote a behavioral response for customers to shift usage from the on-peak to off-peak time period. The Company recognizes this design is not cost based and accordingly has proposed a modified, time-differentiated, Fixed Cost Adjustment. The response to this Request is sponsored by Grant T. Anderson, Regulatory Consultant, Idaho Power Company. IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 32 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 101: Please provide a complete list of the tools the Company's Field Observers have available in wildfire risk zones. a. Please provide a supporting worksheet that includes the tool name, total quantity of tools, purchase date, and cost. Please separate the Mobile Weather Kits purchased in 2022 from the other tools; b. Please discuss tangible or intangible benefits that the Mobile Weather Kits have provided; and c. Please explain if the Company plans to purchase additional Mobile Weather Kits in 2023 through 2025. If so, please provide number of kits and expected costs by year. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 101: a. The requested information is included in the attachment to this request. b. Based on the inherently disruptive nature of power outages, Public Safety Power Shutoff (“PSPS”) events are carefully evaluated by a Company assessment team to balance wildfire risk with potential impacts on customers and communities. The Company only plans to use PSPS as a last resort and relies on data from fixed weather stations and Field Observers (“FOB”) to help inform de-energization decisions. FOBs use mobile weather kits—weather instrumentation that includes a handheld wind meter and compass—to help ensure consistent weather and wind observations are made and to supplement information from fixed weather stations. In 2022, a PSPS was anticipated for approximately 643 customers in the Pocatello area and FOBs were deployed to provide real-time information for the weather event. The feedback of wind speeds and observations of moisture from an IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 33 approaching thunderstorm was instrumental in helping the assessment team determine that de-energization was not necessary and, as a result, the event was cancelled. c. Consistent with the Company’s most recent wildfire mitigation cost deferral filing, the Company envisioned spending $10,000 (purchasing approximately 33 weather kits) in 2023 and no additional spending on mobile weather kits in 2024 and 2025.3 The Company will continue to train Idaho Power employees to serve as FOBs in the coming years.

IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 34 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 102: Please explain the expected increase in the incremental costs for Weather Forecasting Personnel from Version 4 of the Wildfire Mitigation Plan ("WMP") to Version 5 for the years 2023 through 2025. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 102: Please see the Company’s response to Staff’s Request for Production No. 72. The response to this Request is sponsored by Alison Williams, Regulatory Policy and Strategy Leader, Idaho Power Company. IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 35 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 103: The Company requests to continue deferring only incremental vegetation management Operation and Maintenance ("O&M") expenses. Tatum Direct at 7. Does the Company expect to defer any incremental costs for the other components of the WMP? a. If no, please explain why the Company expects no incremental costs; and b. Please provide estimated cost of incremental cost of vegetation management O&M by year for 2023-2025. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 103: In this case, the Company is requesting to continue to defer incremental vegetation management and insurance costs from new baseline levels, as noted in Tatum Direct at 7. a. Beyond the request in this case, the Company has not yet assessed the need for deferral of other WMP costs. b. Please see the table below for the Company’s forecast of incremental vegetation management expenses for 2023-2025. Also please note that the 2023 incremental amount is calculated using the 2019 base, as authorized under the most recent authorized WMP deferral in Docket No. IPC-E-22-27 (Order No. 35717), and the 2024 and 2025 incremental amounts are calculated using the updated base, as proposed in this Company’s Application in this case. Incremental Costs ($000s) 2023 2024* 2025* Vegetation Management 15,658 10,551 14,091 *2024 and 2025 incremental amounts measured from the new proposed baseline in this case While the values in the table reflect the Company’s current forecast of future incremental vegetation management costs, Idaho Power will continue to look for IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 36 ways to minimize this cost category going forward without compromising its vegetation management targets and wildfire risk mitigation objectives. The response to this Request is sponsored by Paula Jeppsen, Forecasting and Planning Director, Idaho Power Company. IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 37 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 104: Please respond to the following about the Emergency Outage Notification System tool described in Hanchey Direct Testimony at 17: a. Please explain how the Emergency Outage Notification System identifies customers in affected areas of planned and unplanned outages; b. Please explain if the Company can automatically enroll certain customers into outage notifications for this tool; c. Please explain what kind of load shed events are notified by this tool; d. Please explain if the Company can use this tool to identify and notify critical customers in the public safety power shutoffs areas; and e. Please provide the cost to implement and maintain this tool. Please provide supporting workpapers. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 104: The Company acknowledges it created confusion by incorrectly referring to EONS as the Emergency Outage Notification System. This was an error; there is only one EONS and it stands for Enterprise Omni-Channel Notification System. Please see the Company’s response to Staff’s Production Request No. 105 for the requested information about the EONS system. The response to this Request is sponsored by Bo Hanchey, VP of Customer Operations, Idaho Power Company. IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 38 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 105: Please respond to the following about Enterprise Omnichannel Notification System ("EONS") tool: a. Please explain how the EONS tool identifies customers in affected areas of planned and unplanned outages; b. Please explain if the Company can automatically enroll certain customers into outage notifications for this tool; c. Please explain what kind of load shed events, if any, are notified by this tool; d. Please explain if the Company can use this tool to identify and notify critical customers in the public safety power shutoffs; and e. Please provide the cost to implement and maintain this tool. Please provide supporting workpapers. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 105: a. Idaho Power has two methods of identifying customers for communications using EONS. For planned and unplanned outages, the most common method is to upload a comma-separated values (.csv) file of impacted customers provided by Idaho Power’s dispatch. Additionally, Idaho Power sends a customer list to the EONS tool daily with the following information: service point, city, state, zip, region, rate category, customer type, contact (email address or phone number), contact type, Standard Industrial Classification code, a critical facility indicator, device, feeder and Public Safety Power Shutoff (“PSPS”) zone. Idaho Power can filter customers within EONS on any of these fields to create a list of customers to contact. This method was developed for PSPS and load shed events to ensure that events and contact lists can easily be broken down by feeder or PSPS zone. IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 39 b. EONS is an internal communication and alert management tool, in which customers do not enroll. Rather, EONS is used primarily to communicate about ad hoc and unplanned outages, which are often of an urgent nature with urgent communication needs. c. No load shed events have occurred to date since the implementation of EONS. If a load shed event were to occur, the Company anticipates using EONS to send customers as much information and notification as possible. Customers would receive any EONS notifications in addition to any outage alerts (text, email, or push notifications) they are enrolled in. d. Idaho Power identifies critical facilities in the daily file that is uploaded into EONS. Critical facilities have not received targeted notifications through EONS, but they are included in all PSPS notifications. Additionally, Idaho Power’s Energy Advisors or Regional Customer Relations Managers (“RCRM”) work one-on-one with critical facilities throughout a PSPS event. Key customers (outside of critical facilities) are not identified in EONS. However, Energy Advisors or RCRMs reach out to these customers via phone. e. Please see Attachment 1 – Response to Staff Request No 105. The response to this Request is sponsored by Bo Hanchey, VP of Customer Operations, Idaho Power Company. IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 40 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 106: In Company Witness Hanchey's Direct testimony, he described the Emergency Outage Notification System. Hanchey Direct at 17. Please answer the following: a. Please explain the difference between the Emergency Outage Notification System tool and the EONS tool used for the Wildfire Mitigation program; b. Please provide a worksheet that details date of use, the use of the tool for outages/load shed events other than wildfire outages/load shed events, number of customers impacted per event, how customers were notified (i.e., text or voice messaging), yearly cost to use tool, FERC account booked; c. Please explain how the Company uses its different outage notification systems; and d. Please provide supporting worksheet that includes the functions of each notification system. RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 106: a. As noted in the Company’s response to Staff’s Production Request No. 104, the reference to an Emergency Outage Notification System was an error. EONS stands for Enterprise Omni-Channel Notification System, and this is the tool the Company uses for Public Safety Power Shutoff (“PSPS”) alerts. b. For a worksheet with details of EONS use, please see Attachment 1 – Response to Staff Request No. 106. For costs, please refer to Attachment 1 – Response to Staff Request No. 105. EONS is booked to FERC account 921000. c. EONS is primarily used for ad hoc outage event information sent to customers impacted by outages, before, during, and after the event occurs. The Company IDAHO POWER COMPANY’S RESPONSE TO THE THIRD PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 41 has also used EONS for PSPS “campaigns” sent to customers in PSPS zones regarding the upcoming fire season and outage preparedness. Last year, the Company used EONS to contact customers in a PSPS zone for an actual PSPS event; however, the event was cancelled prior to de-energization. EONS serves a particular purpose among Idaho Power’s different notification tools—it allows for rapid, targeted, and/or repeat communications. Additionally, whereas the Company’s other alert tools are limited to a certain number of communications per hour and/or a character limit on communication length, EONS allows for frequent and sufficient communication for those situations in which explanation, education, and outage information are necessary—making the tool ideal for PSPS communications. The Company uses an automated dialer system as the main form of communication before a planned outage. Through this system, an automated voice call is sent to all customers impacted by the outage (for whom the Company has a phone number). This is used in addition to any personalized outreach to customers conducted via Idaho Power’s Energy Advisors. Additionally, customers can enroll in text, email, and/or push notifications to be notified of outages at any of the addresses on their account. Notifications are sent when the power goes out, when an estimated time of restoration (“ETR”) is added or changed, and when power is restored to most customers. Lastly, customers can enroll in text notifications for a particular outage through the Company’s outage map. Notifications are sent for ETR updates and when power is restored to most customers.
