PRODUCTION REQUEST TO P ACIFICORP
will actually reduce the total number of homes weatherized under the low-income
weatherization program.
Regarding this contention, please respond to each of the following questions: 1)
does the contention rely on the assumption that PacifiCorp is currently funding 50% of all
DOE approved weatherization measures actually installed on the project? 2) Does this
contention assume that the eastern Idaho community action agencies exhaust all of the
funding provided by PacifiCorp for any given fiscal year?
REQUEST NO.On page 6, lines 19-, of his direct testimony, Company
witness Brian Dickman states that the low-income weatherization program "narrowly
passed the Utility Cost Test under the Integrated Resource Plan ("IRP") Decrement
approach for quantifying the expected benefits.
Regarding this contention, please answer the following questions: 1) Does this
assume that PacifiCorp is actually funding 50% of all project costs? 2) Does this assume
that actual project costs when the study was conducted was the $1 500.00 cap that has
since been eliminated?
REQUEST NO.I0: On page 6, line 23 through page 7 , line 3 , Company witness
Brian Dickman testifies that "(aJn increase in the Company s reimbursement would mean
a larger percentage of program costs would be covered from funds collected through
Schedule 191 and a smaller percentage through federal tax funds.
Please provide all proof, including the production of all documents or other
physical evidence, supporting this contention.
