PAC-E- 1 0-07 IDAHO IRRIGATION PUMPERS ASSOCIATION, INC.'S NINTH DATA REQUEST TO ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER COMPANY IDAHO IRRGATION PUMPERS ASSOCIATION, INC'S NINTH DATA REQUESTS TO ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER COMPANY IDAHO IRRGATION PUMPERS ASSOCIATION, INC. ("IIPA"), by and through its attorneys, hereby submits this Ninth 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: 124. In response to lIP A Request 4 the Company provided hourly border load data for Idaho as well as for all rate schedules (and special contract customers) for 2008 and 2009. Please provide similar information for each of the other jursdictions durng this same timeframe and for all jursdictions (including Idaho) for 2004-2007. 125. Is the border load data supplied in response to IIPA Request 4 at the same "level" as the Metered Load data on pages 10.13 and 10.14 of Company Exhibit 2, or do additional losses need to be added? If additional losses need to be added, what are they? 126. The flowchart provided in response to lIP A Request 104 contains an item near the bottom left that portrays the inclusion/introduction of losses into the sales data. What loss factors were used for each month for each jursdiction? IDAHO IRGATION PUMERS ASSOCIATION, INC.'S EIGHTH DATA REQUEST TO ROCKY MOUNAI POWER COMPAN 1 ,. 127. The response to lIP A Request 5 lists "pricing Kwh" data for each class/rate schedule in Idaho by month for 2009. Please provide similar "pricing Kwh" data for all jurisdictions on a monthly basis from Januar 2004 through December 2009. 128. With respect to Monsanto Request I3-1c, please explain how the losses for each jursdiction were developed and how those values relate to border load and "pricing Kwh". 129. With respect to Monsanto Request I3-Ic, please provide the losses for each jursdiction on a monthly basis for the five years in question. 130. Comparing the total hourly border loads and the hourly sales levels (using energy loss factors to scale the sales values up) found in response to lIP A Request 4 on a monthly basis for 2009, it can be calculated that on an average monthly basis for 10 months (excluding June and August) that the scaled up sales figues are consistently below the border load data. Since the sales figures have been grossed up for losses as well as adjusted for actual monthly sales, this suggests that either the border load data is too high or the loss factors are too low. Please comment on the reason for the general discrepancy that occurs between these two sets of figures on a monthly basis. 131. Comparng the total hourly border loads and the hourly sales levels (using energy loss factors to scale the sales values up) found in response to lIP A Request 4 on a monthly basis for 2009, it can be calculated that on an average monthly basis for June and August that the scaled up sales figures are consistently and significantly above the border load data. Since the sales figures have been grossed up for losses as well as adjusted for actual monthly sales, this suggests that either the border load data is too low or something else is taing place-the variation is so great that loss factors would not have a significant impact. Please comment on the reason for the general discrepancy that occurs between these two sets of figures on a monthly basis. 132. The border load data provided in response to LIP A Request 4 is said to be a compilation of all energy that flows into and out of Idaho as measured at specific locations. Please list for each hour of 2008 and 2009 the name of each border location and the value of energy that either went into the Idaho jurisdiction or left the Idaho jurisdiction as well as all energy that was generated within the jursdiction. 133. Exhibit 2, Tab 1 page 1.3 lists the total Idaho normalized General Business test year revenue at $202,733,163. Exhibit 50 lists the present Idaho revenue at $202,733,000 associated with 3,325,872 MWH. Exhibit 49, Tab 5, page 14, line 10, lists test year sales (cÐsale level) as 3,325,873 MWH which is associated with 3,557,594 MWH on line 14 cÐ Input. By comparson, Exhibit 2, Tab 10, page 10.14 IDAHO IRGATION PUMERS ASSOCIATION, INC.'S EIGHTH DATA REQUEST TO ROCKY MOUNAI POWER COMPAN 2 . uses a load of3,628,130 MWH to allocate costs to Idaho. Please explain why the base Idaho revenue in this case is being based upon 3,557,594 MWH (l Input, while the allocation of jurisdictional costs is based upon 3,628,130 MWH.
