PAC-E-10-07 IDAHO IRRIGATION PUMPERS ASSOCIATION, INC.'S THIRD DATA REQUEST TO ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER COMPANY IDAHO IRRIGATION PUMPERS ASSOCIATION, INC'S THIRD DATA REQUESTS TO ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER COMPANY IDAHO IRRGATION PUMPERS ASSOCIATION, INC. ("IIPA"), by and though its attorneys, hereby submits this Third Data Requests to Rocky Mountain Power Company ("RMPC"), pursuant to Rule 225 of the Idaho Public Utility Commission's Rules of Procedure, IDAPA 31.01.01, as follows: 67. Given the levelized cost for the Residential direct load control program of $93 per kW that was found in the July 11,2007 Quantec report for Rocky Mountain Power and given the fact that the Company's IRP suggests a supply side resource cost that is well below this value, please explain the Company's reasons for continuing to offer the Residential Direct Load Control Program. 68. Based upon the Response to lIP A Request 1 e, the Irrgators take this to mean that the adjustments on page 10.13 through 10.18 on Exhibit 2 for jurisdictional allocations are not cared through to the class cost of service study in Exhibit 49. Is this meaning/interpretation correct? 69. Regarding the attachment to the Response to lIP A Request 2d, under tab "To_Actual 2009" in row 4 are listed values for "ID RES 01". Please answer the following: IDAHO IRGATION PUMPERS ASSOCIATION, INC.'S THI DATA REQUEST TO ROCKY MOUNAI POWER COMPAN 1 .. a. Is the data in row 4 the result of the load research data? How is this data derived from the load research data (please specify all calculations and adjustments that are incorporated to take the raw load research data and produce the values listed on row 4)? b. Is this calendar data, billng data, or some other fonntimeframe? If anything other than calendar data, please specify how it was derived. c. The data in row 5 is labeled as "Pricing Kwh". Is this calendar data, biling data, or some other fonntimeframe? If anything other than biling data, please specify how it was derived. d. If the data on row 4 is based upon a different time frame than the data on row 5, do the adjustments in row 6 capture the difference is usage because of the different timeframes (calendar vs. billng) as well as any calibration that is needed to align the sample load research data with the usage data of the population? 70. With respect to the other rate schedules listed on the Response to LIP A Request 2d, under tab "To_Actual 2009", would the response be the same as that contained in 69 above. 7 1. Given the Response to lIP A Requests 2f and 16b, it is assumed that the values for the Irrigation coincident peak loads found on Exhibit 49, tab 5, page 7 were derived by taking the 5-year average results (demand at time of system peaks) of the "actual" load research data and combining this with the actual load research energy usages to develop ratios that are applied to the test year monthly energy usages in order to develop the peak values that are presented. If there is anything wrong with these assumptions, please explain how the Irrgation coincident peak values are developed. 72. Tab "id8760" to Attachment 8a to the Response to IIPA Request 8 contains hourly information by rate schedule. Please provide all supporting and/or interim data that was used to develop each of these values. We are seeking the entire data throughout the flow of the calculations that resulted in these values. 73. Please provide for each ofthe years 2000-2009 the value ofthe "SG" allocation factor that was assigned and/or calculated for Idaho in either rate case filings or other general filings made by the Company for any of its jurisdictions durng that timeframe. 74. With respect to the Company's response to iiPA Request 21c, please supply the last 13 years of usage per customer data for Schedule 1 and Schedule 36 on a monthly basis. If available, please supply the data on a calendar as well as biling month basis. 75. With respect to the Company's response to IIPA Request 21d, please supply the same data on a monthly basis. IDAHO IRGATION PUMERS ASSOCIATION, INC.'S TIß DATA REQUEST TO ROCKY MOUNAI POWER COMPAN 2 .. 76. With respect to the Company's response to IIPA Request 21f, please supply the last 13 years ofHDD and CDD data on a monthly basis. 77. With respect to the Company's response to IIPA Request 21g, please supply the same data on a monthly basis. 78. With respect to the Company's response to IIPA Request 21h, please supply the same data on a monthly basis. 79. Tab "id8760" to Attachment 8a to the Response to IIPA Request 8 indicates that the data listed is hourly demands by rate schedule "tied to test year 2010 energy". Does this mean that this data in this Response is based only on 2009 load research data and then ratioed up or down, depending upon the difference between 2010 monthly/anual energy levels? How does the fact that, according to the response to lIP A Request 2, multiple years of data have been utilized to develop some allocation factors reconcile with this Response?
