For each of the Wyoming projects listed in this column that has received indicative prices, please indicate how many times the pricing has been updated.
If Mr. Tourangeau’s recommendations discussed on pages 31-35 of his Direct Testimony are adopted, would the new pricing, contract term, and contracting approach apply to each of the 24 Wyoming projects referenced in this column?

Response to WIEC-VK-TRData Request 3.13
Confirmed. However, a developer with multiple proposals may request indicative pricing that assumes its own requests are signed. For example, a developer with two proposed solar qualifying facilities (QF) can receive prices for the second project that assume the first project has been signed.
Please refer to Attachment WIEC-VK-TR 3.13-1.
