most recent month available the following:
A. Customer identification number;
B. Customer rate schedule;
C. Strata to which it belongs and weighting factors of each strata;

each sample);
E. Raw hoùrly usage data modified to reflect losses;
F. On an hourly basis, any additional calibrations that are applied to the Load
Research data before it is applied to develop the allocation factors used in the
Company's cost of service study in ths case.
G. Please provide copies of the formulas (and data) used to expand the Load
Research data up to the population as a whole as used in the class cost of

Previously the Company developed hourly calibrations that calibrated the Load
Research data such that the sumation of the (population expanded) Load
Research data and the Census data equaled the Company's "Operations Stat" or
border loads. The Company may no longer be applying these calibrations to the
Load Research data, but the data is stil of interest. On an hourly basis from
Januar 2007 through the most recent month available, please provide:
A. The "Operations Stat" or border load for the Idaho Jursdiction;
B. The sumation of the (population expanded) Load Research data and the
Census data that would reflect what the Company measured or estimated as its
internal customer load for each rate schedule or customer group;
C. The hourly load for each rate schedule or special contract customer that is
measured or calculated on a: census basis as opposed to using load research
data;
D. Any other load that is contained in "a" above but is not addressed in "c" above

by assuming that there are no curlments/interrptions to Monsanto? If

Response to lIP A Data Request 15
Curlments and/or interrptions of Monsanto's service are added back to data

A. Are all of these values actual? Ifnot, please provide and explanation of how they
were normalized and the workpapers that support the normalization.
B. What level of curlment of Schedule 10 load is reflected on line 23? Is this level
of curlment the same as occured in 2008 and 2009 or is expected to be
incured in 201 O?
C. What is the level of curilment that is reflected in each month on line 26 for the
Irgation load?
Response to lIP A Data Request 16
A. The values presented reflect estimates of forecast class demand levels at the time
of the merged Company system peak. Base year load measurements (census) and
estimates (sample data) are adjusted to match test year energy levels.
B. The level of curailment of Schedule 10 load reflected on line 23 is derived from
the historic five year average (2005-2009) of actu load research sample data
adjusted to test period energy. Because the load curilment program operated
durg most of ths five year period, the load curilment program impact is
reflected in the five year average data. The level of curlment is based on ths
five year average and does not represent any individua year or any specific
curlment amount.
C. No class load data is shown on line 26. Please refer to the Company's response to

According to Còmpany witness Shu, beginng at page 8 line 23: "The addition of
the Populus to Terminal line increases the transmission capacity across Path C
from southeast Idaho to nortern Utah by approximately 780 megawatts. The
additional transmission capacity makes it possible to better utilze the market
price differentials between the east and west sides of the Company's system,
reduces reliance on additional purchases of transmission from third paries, and
improves reliability." Please reru the Company's Net Power Supply Model used

Response to lIP A Data Request 51
The Company does not have any new values for the avoided cost estimates
published in the "Assessment of Long-Term, System-Wide Potential for Demand-
Side and Other Supplemental Resources."
As stated previously, in responding to ths question in 2007, the avoided capacity
costs listed on page 17 and elsewhere in the "Assessment of Long-Term, System-
Wide Potential.for Demand-Side and Other Supplemental Resources" (Potential
Study) were planing estimates used for the completion of the study. The IRP
modeling process determines resource economic potential and provides direction
to the Company as to which resource options to pursue. The values used in the
Potential Study referenced were arbitrar values selected to avoid overly
constrainig resource selections and understating market opportties in advance
of the IRP modeling work.
