Klamath. Klamath. On page 2l of his direct testimony, RMP witness Steven R.
McDougal testifies that RMP will seek recovery of Idaho's share of actual
Klamath Hydro decommissioning costs in a future general rate case or other
regulatory proceeding. Mr. McDougal further testifies that the Idaho share of
estimated Klamath decommissioning costs have been removed from this case.
(a) Please identiff the amounts already recovered from California and Oregon
ratepayers for Klamath Hydro decommissioning, as well as the financial
commitments from the states of California and Oregon to recover these costs.
(b) In light of the commitments from Califomia and Oregon sources to recover
the costs associated with Klamath Hydro decommissioning costs, please
clarifr what amount of actual Klamath decommissioning costs RMP would
seek to recover from Idaho customers. Please use the latest Klamath dam total
decommissioning and removal costs to derive and demonstate the estimated
Idaho share of decommissioning costs.
Response to Bayer Data Request 109
(a) The funding collected under the Klamath surcharges from Oregon (Docket
UE-219), and California customers in Decision (D)11-05-002 as modified by
D.l7-ll-019 total $187.8 million. Net eamings on those surcharges collected
from Oregon and Califomia customers total $16.5 million, bringing total
contributions from Oregon and Califomia customers to $204.3 million. The
State of Califomia is also contributing $249,500,000 to Klamath dam removal
pursuant to the Klamath Hydroelectric Sefflement Agreement (KHSA) and as
funded by the California Proposition I bond passed in20l4.
(b) PacifiCorp may seek cost recovery for environmental remediation costs and
other costs associated with asset/property disposition at the Klamath
Hydroelectric Project in a future general rate case (GRC) or other regulatory
proceeding. The amounts of these costs are yet to be determined.
