differences between these two sets of data.

IDAHO IRRIGATION PUMPERS ASSOCIATION INC.'S EIGHTH DATA REQUESTS TO
ACIFICORP -
lists a purchase of $130 per MWH during the 1600 hour. Please explain the differences
between these two sets of data.
c. There are a number of days in the Company s responses to Monsanto 2.50-C where the
maximum price is $95 per MWH during all heavy load hours. What is the entity from
which this purchase is being made?
lIP A 2: For the Irrigation load research samples, what is the size (kW or kWh) cut
off level between strata?
lIP A 3: Regarding the Company s response to lIP A -13 and the Utah Cool
Keeper data, please reconcile the estimated load control on July 28, 2006 of90.2 MW and the
information on page 29 ofthe July 11 2007 "Assessment of Long-Term System-Wide Potential
for Demand-Side and other Supplemental Resources" report that:
a. Currently 89 MW of load curtailment is under contract;
b. Event participation is based on a 50% duty cycling strategy; and
c. There is an expected 92% participation rate during actual events.
lIP A 8-4: The Company supplied individual load research sample data for irrigation
customers in its response to lIP A 1-4. Customers 853040 and 853300 had no data listed after
July 31 , 2006. Customers 853140 and 854210 had no data listed prior to July 1 , 2006.
a. Why did each of these samples not have data for the entire irrigation season?
b. How was the lack of this data treated when developing the weighted strata values for
each month-were they put in as "zeros " or were they completely ignored?
Respectfully submitted this 30th day of August, 2007.
