#2 (5,500 kW). Does each powerhouse have its own meter to measure the output
ofeach powerhouse?
Response to IPUC Data Request 12
No. The point of maering is the same for both powerhouses, located at
PacifiCorp pole # 3l -07 -W 290900 (meter M7 8462).

The 1984 contract used levelized rates for the Fixed Energy Rates and Appendix
C of the contract states that "the payment Buyer makes to Seller for power
generated is based on Seller's performance during the full term of this
Agreement". However, Powerhouse #1 has not operated since 2006. Please
answer the following questions:
(a) Due to the nature of levelized rates, did the parties adjust payment to refund
the exfia payment as a result of ending operations of Powerhouse #l earlier
than expiration date?
(b) If so, please illustrate how refund was calculated. If not, please explain why.
Response to IPUC Data Request 13
(a) No.
(b) The adjustment referenced above from the 1984 contract, Appendix C
(Adjustment of Payments in the Event of Termination), is in relation to a
termination of the contract; such a termination did not take place.

Page No. 3 of the Application states that "the Seller has demonstrated to the
Company's reasonable satisfaction that (l) the facility's net energy will equal the
energy delivery schedules for the full term of this Agreement; and (2) the
likelihood that the facility, under average design conditions, will generate at no
more than 2.5 aMW in any calendar month". However, the Energy Delivery
Schedule section on Page 16 of the contract shows that the months of April, May,
June, and July exceed the 2.5 aMW. Please reconcile the statement in the
Application and the monthly estimates under the Energy Delivery Schedule
section of the contract.
Response to IPUC Data Request 14
The 2.5 average megawatt (aMW) figure in the application was stated in error,
this figure should have reflected 3.5 aMW (rounding to the nearest 500 kilowatts
(kW) figure).
