IPUC Staff Production Data Request 3
Please provide the Company s expected monthly payout for each customer class
to reconcile the surplus existing in the Idaho balancing account through the 2007-
2011 Agreement.
Response to IPUC Staff Production Data Request 3
Attachment IPUC Production 3 on the enclosed CD provides an analysis of the
expected monthly payout assuming that payments received from BP A remain the
same from October 2006 through 2011 , that customer usage data is unchanged
from the test period data, and that credits to customers remain the same as the
proposed credits shown in Attachment IPUC I , which include an incremental
amount for drawing down the balancing account surplus. The analysis shows a
surplus of approximately $3 million in the balancing account at the end of 2011.

IPUC Staff Production Data Request 4
The Company is proposing to include qualifying long-tenn care facilities in its
allocation of REP benefits. How many qualifying care facilities has the company
identified that would receive benefits? Please provide the Company s analysis of
the impact the proposed inclusion would have on the distribution of payments to
all customers.
Response to IPUC Staff Production Data Request 4
The requested infonnation is contained in revised Exhibits 1 and 2. In preparing
this response, it was discovered that 28 MWh were inadvertently excluded from
the analysis of long-term care facilities that will be moving from Schedule 23 to
23A. Revised copies of these Exhibits are included as Attachment IPUC
Production 4 on the enclosed CD. This undercount results in an estimated $461
annually in additional BP A credits that will be paid to customers.
In Attachment IPUC Production 4, revised Exhibit 1 , Line 6, titled Moving from
to 6A shows the 10 long-tenn care facilities currently served on Schedule 6 that
will move to 6A and begin receiving the BP A credit. Line 13 , titled Movingfrom
23 to 23A shows the 7 long-tenn care facilities currently served on Schedule 23
that will move to 23A and begin receiving the BP A credit. The number of
customers is shown in column 4, and the amount of the proposedBPA credit is
shown in Column 10. Revised Exhibit 2 shows the combined totals on line 13
titled Newly Eligible Customers. The Company estimates that these 17 customers
will receive approximately $91 000 in annual benefits that would have otherwise
been passed on to the remaining qualifying customers. The impact of this change
on all other customers currently receiving the BP A credit is negligible.
