PAC-E-22-12 / Rocky Mountain Power January 20, 2023 IPUC Data Request 13 - 1st Revised
IPUC Data Request 13 The Company's 2019 DSM Annual Report indicates that SEICAA purchased $15,750 of energy savings kits using program year 2019 and 2020 Low Income
Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) funding. 2019 Annual Report at 24.
In the 2020 Annual Report, the Company reports no expenditures for the SEICAA agency and a positive balance of the full $9,000 allocation from the Company's annual funding. Please reconcile the outstanding SEICAA expenditures used in
2019 to purchase energy savings kits from the 2020 LIHEAP funding, as
described in the 2019 Annual Report. 1st Revised Response to IPUC Data Request 13 Further to the Company’s response to IPUC Data Request 13 dated December 14,
2022, the Company provides the following 1st Revised response to include a full
reconciliation which accounts for the $675 in the 2019 ending balance and onward which was shown in the table in the Company’s original response (“Update received 12/08/2022 – Ending Balance after Admin costs for
preparation of kits shipment).
Please refer to the table below which provides an updated reconciliation of the Southeastern Idaho Community Action Agency Inc.’s (SEICAA) kit expenditures and balance from 2018-2022, and which includes the most granular accounting available that SEICAA is able to provide to the Company. The $2,250 ending
balance from 2019 was inadvertently not carried over to subsequent years in the
Company’s original response to IPUC Data Request 13, and was also not accounted for in Table 1 of the Company’s 2020 and 2021 Annual Reports, resulting in incorrect ending balances for SEICAA. The correct ending balances
for SEICAA in 2020 and 2021 should have been reported as $11,250 and
$20,250, respectively, instead of the reported $9,000 and $18,000 amounts that excluded the $2,250 carry over balance from 2019. The $675 amount provided in the Company’s original response to IPUC Data Request 13 has since been determined to be erroneous. SIECAA’s initial data
reflected this amount, but upon further review this amount has been withdrawn by
SEICAA as being incorrectly included due to internal oversight from SEICAA’s recent personnel changes. Accordingly, the $675 amount has been removed from the updated reconciliation table provided below:

PAC-E-22-12 / Rocky Mountain Power January 20, 2023 IPUC Data Request 15 - 1st Supplemental
IPUC Data Request 15 Please describe the Company's practices regarding the use of IRP avoided cost data to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of its programs for a given year and for
program planning for the next year (i.e., use the avoided costs available at
program planning for evaluating the cost-effectiveness for that given year, use the most current avoided costs at the time of evaluation, etc.).
1st Supplemental Response to IPUC Data Request 15
Further to the Company’s response to IPUC Data Request 15 dated December 14, 2022, the Company provides the following supplemental response: The Company uses the most current data available when evaluating or planning
programs and cost effectiveness. For example, if the Company were planning
something in January 2019, PacifiCorp’s 2017 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) would be used because PacifiCorp’s 2019 IRP would not have been filed yet. However, when the time came to evaluate the 2019 program year in 2020, the
Company would have used the 2019 IRP as the most current information
available. The Company does not make adjustments to account for time passed since IRP publication. Recordholder: Alesha Mander
