PAC-07-05/Rocky Mountain Power September 13, 2007 lIP A ih Set Data Request 7. lIP A Data Request 7. In the Company s response to Agrium 7 there was weather normalization data supplied for Schedules 1 and 36. Why was there no weather normalization done for most of the months for Schedule 36? Response to liP A Data Request 7. The statistical process the company uses indicates there is no correlation between the summer consumption for Schedule 36 customers and summer temperatures. This corresponds with the need for summer air conditioning primarily during the daytime hours. Schedule 36 customers are on the optional time of day rate and the difference between daytime prices and nighttime prices should be a motivator to have them find alternatives to running space air conditioning equipment during the daytime hours. Also, because of the significant change in temperatures during the night, less air conditioning is expected among these customers because of their likelihood to use the natural cooling associated with lower nighttime temperatures to reduce daytime air conditioning needs.
