Monsanto lst Set Data Request L2
Monsanto Data Request 1.2
In the previous II,CAM filing, Case No. PAC-E-17-02, RMP presented the results
of calculated ECAM rates under two scenarios: (i) without making a contribution
to the depreciation balance (Exhibit No. 3), and (ii) under the alternative rate plan
which provided $4 million towards the amortization of the deferred depreciation
balance (Exhibit No. 5). Please provide similar exhibits for this ECAM filing
under the two scenarios, that is, with and without making a $4 million
contribution to the depreciation balance,
Response to Monsanto Data Request 1.2

Monsanto Data Request 1.3
In the previous ECAM filing, Case No. PAC-E-17-02, RMP offered an
"altemative rate plan", however, it appears in this filing that RMP is not offering
an "alternative", but instead desires to maintain last year's "alternative rate plano'
in place for another year. Is it RMP's belief that the20lT "altemative rate plan"
agreed to by the parties and ordered by Commission was for more than a single
year? Please fully explain your responsc.
Response to Monsanto Data Request 1.3
It is the Company's position that the incremental $4 million referenced in the
"alternative rate plan" should be used to amortize the depreciation balance until
that balance is recovered. Llowever, as part of &e l'ax Reform stipulation parties
agreed to apply $3.5 million of tax savings to offset the estimated balance as of
May 31, 2018, which would enable a52.2 million reduction to the energy cost
adjustment mechanism (ECAM) rate with $1.8 million of the $4 million
continuing to be recovered through the ECAM to offset the ongoing depreciation
deferral.
