REqUEST NO. 202: Please provide a breakdown of Capital Expenditures in FERC
accounts 380, 381, 382, 383, 384, and 385 and by existine rate class.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 202:
Please see the CDtile labeled "PR #202 Plant Act Bals YTD Sep 20l6.xlx" Jor the
brealodown of octual accounl balances for January through September 201 6. For the forecasted
months of October- Decentber 2016, please refer toJile "Gas Plant inSen,ice.r/sr" subnitted
in response to Production Request No. 178.
Inlerntounlain's accounling records have never provided thefitnctionality to tack plant
ond accumtrlated depreciation by rale class for FERC accounls 380, 381, iE2, 3E3, i81, and
i85. Since this llpe of direct assignment $'os no! possible, lntermounlain chose to use an
industry occepted praclice lo allocate these occounts to the various customer classes.
Because Inlermounlain can associale ils meters in sentice wilh a a$tomer class, the
Contpany was able to delermine the number of eoch type of meter cutently installedfor each
rale class. Intermounlain lhen valued lhose melers at lhe atnent replacemenl cosl for each
meler. The total currenl cost of the melersfor each class y,as calculated and then overaged by
the nttmber of merers in each class. Thar averoge meter cost was indexed anc! then nutltiplied by
annual cuslomers to creote a veighted cuslomer allocator. The weighted crulomer allocator
v,as splil into Group I and Group 2 categories as oullined in lhe response lo Production Request
No. 200. The calculation of the v,eighted customer allocator vas included in response to
Production Request No. 33, "PR 33 2015 Meter Study - CONFIDENTUL.xIr". These
allocalors nere used to assign the FERC accounls 380-385 to Intermounlain's customer classes.

RESPONSE OF IGC TO NINTH PRODUCTION REQUEST OF COMMISSION STAFF

REQUEST NO. 102: Please provide any workpapers showing the Company's cost
allocation methodology for its intemrptible snow melt schedules, IS-R and IS-C.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 102:
The snow melt schedules provide an operational toolfor Intermounlain to maximize its
syslem eficiency and lo keep cosls low for all cuslomers. Snow melt customers have a very lott
loadfactor and tend to use gas during peak usage pertods. The snow mek tarifs have allowed
customers to contiruE to add this equipment without necessitaling the investment in millions of
dollars af capacity upgrades to serue the snotv melt load under peak day conditions. When the
lar{fs u,ere established, the IS-R (Residential) customers were priced the same as RS-? cuslonters,
and IS-C (Commercial) customers were priced the same as GS-/ customers. Since na incremenlal
infrastructttre has been added lo serve these customers on a peak day, Intermountain believes it is
still appropriate to price lheir usage based on lhe new RS (Residential) or GS-l (Contmercial)
rales. Therefore, lhe IS-R customers ond usage have been included with RS and the lS-C cuslomers
and usage have been included with GS-l for cost allocation purposes.

BEFORE THE IDAIIO PI]BLIC UTILITTES COMMISSION
IN THE MATTER OF TIIE SUSPENSION OF
THE COMMISSION'S GAS SERVICE RULE
1020 IDAPA 31.31.01.102
oRDER NO. 30625
In July 2008, the Commission Staff received an inquiry from Avista Utilities
regarding an apparent conflict between two Commission rules. The issue was brought to
Avista's attention when a Post Falls City building ofEcial asked Avista about the utility's
procedures for inspecting a customer's installation of a natural gas appliance. More specifically,
the City offi.cial was referring to the Commission's Gas Service Rule 102,IDAPA 31.31.01.102.
This nrle states in pertinent part:
The gas corporation shall inspect the customer's installation [of a gas appliance]
before the connection of a meter to ascertain that the installation conforms to the
provisions contained in the National Fuel Gas Code and the Unifomr
Mechanigal Code, as adopted by the Commission
Gas Rule I 02, IDAPA 3 1.3 I .0 l. 1 02 (1993) (emphasis added).
The apparent conflict arises with Subsection .02 of the Commission's Safety Rules 202
and 203, IDAPA 31.11.01.202.02 and203.02. Safety Rules 202 and 203 were most recently
amended in 2008. These two nrles are nearly identical and read in pertinent part:
02. Utility Compliance. All gas corporations subject to the jurisdiction of
this Commission are required to abide by applicable provisions of the
Intemational Mechanical Code [or International Fuel Gas Codel and to
connect for service and light only those installations that:
a. Have been inspected and approved by authorized agencies; or
b. When inspecting agencies do not exis! to require their customers to abide
by applicable provisions of the Intemational Mechanical Code [or Fuel Gas
Codel as a condition of receiving service or continuing to receive service.
Safety Rules 202.02 and203.02, IDAPA 31.11.01.202.02 and203.02 (emphasis added). Safety
Rule 202 adopts the International Fuel Gas Code of 2006 and Safety Rule 203 adopts the

Intemational Mechanical Code of 2006. The International Codes are updated and published
every three years by the Intemational Code Council.
Based upon its review, Staff asserts there are two inconsistencies between Gas
Service Rule 102 and the two Safety Rules. First, in 2006 the Commission adopted the
"lnternational Mechanical Code" and "Intemational Fuel Gas Code" which superseded the
Uniform Mechanical Code and National Fuel Gas Code, respectively. The Commission took this
action after the Legislature adopted the International Mechanical Code and the International Fuel
Gas Code in 2004, Idaho Code $ 54-5001. Second, the new International Codes no longer
require a gas utility to inspect the installation of gas appliances. As the Commission explained in
its 2004 Notice of Rulemaking, the new Intemational Codes establish a new regulatory
framework that employs permits and inspections. Idaho Code $ 54-5016 requires that any
installation of a gas appliance be accomplished pursuant to the issuance of a permit. Idaho Code
$$ 54-5001 and 54-5018 require an inspection for each permit.
For local governments that have adopted the International Codes, the current
regulatory practice is for these jurisdictions to issue permits and conduct subsequent inspections.
For areas of the State that do not have inspection agencies, the State Division of Building Safety
issues permits and performs the inspections, IDAPA 07,07,01.1 In addition, the installation of
gas appliances is generally required to be performed by a licensed installer and the license holder
is required to comply with the International Mechanical Code. Thus, gas utilities are no longer
required to inspect the installation of gas appliances - inspections are the responsibility of other
entities. Consistent with the applicable Intemational Codes, Safety Rules 202.02.b, and
203.02.b. simply compel utilities to "require their customers to abide by applicable provisions of
the [nternational Mechanical [and Fuel Gas] Code[s] as a condition of receiving or continuing to
receive service." IDAPA 3l.l1.01 .202.02.b. and 31.11.01 .203.02.b.
DISCUSSION AND FINDINGS
Based upon our review of the rules in question, we find that Gas Service Rule 102 is
incompatible with the Commission's Safety Rules 202.02 and203.02. In particular, the safety
codes referenced in Gas Rule 102 have been superseded. We further find that Gas Rule 102
compels utilities to perform actions that are no longer required under the International Codes
' Idaho Code $ 54-5002 does list certain exemptions but even if exempted, the installation of gas appliances "shall
comply with" the applicable lnternational Codes.

adopted in 2004 by our Legislature in ldaho Code $ 54-5001. Consequently, on our own motion,
we suspend Gas Service Rule l02,IDAPA 31.31.01.102.
We further find that it is appropriate for us to undertake a comprehensive review of
our Gas Service Rules. More specifically, we direct the Staff to meet with the gas utilities and
other interested persons and informally review the Gas Service Rules, IDAPA 31.31.01. This
informal review could be the basis for a negotiated rulemaking to update the Commission's Gas
Service Rules next year.
ORDER
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Gas Service Rule 102, IDAPA 31.31.01.102, be
suspended.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Commission Staff undertake an informal
review of our Gas Service Rules with gas utilities and other interested persons.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Commission Secretary serve this Order upon
our gas utilities.
THIS IS A FINAL ORDER. Any person interested in this Order (or in issues finally
decided by this Order) or in interlocutory Orders previously issued in this Case No. GNR-G-08-
01 may petition for reconsideration within twenty-one (21) days of the service date of this Order
with regard to any mafier decided in this Order or in interlocutory Orders previously issued in
this case. Within seven (7) days after any person has petitioned for reconsideration, any other
person may cross-petition for reconsideration. See ldaho Code $ 6l-626.

accordance with prescrlbed uniform accountlng systems. These systems, such as
the Unlform System of Accounts, classlfy costs according to primary operating
functions. Thus, the functiona'lizatlon of costs ls already done for the cost of
service analyst.
2 Classlflcatlon of Costs
The functionallzatlon of costs ls of llmlted use ln the allocatlon of costs.
Therefore, lt is necessary to further classify costs lnto customer, energy or
commodlty, and demand or capaclty costs.
it. customer cos ts
o
Customer costs are those operatlng capltal costs found
the number of customers served rather than with the amount
supp'lied. They include the expenses of metering, readfng,
and accountlng, as well as those costs associatbd with the
metering equipment and in customers' servlce connectlons.
to vary directly with
of utillty service
bil ling, collecting,
capltal lnvestment ln
A portlon of the costs associated with the distributlon system may be
inc'luded as customer costs. However, the lnclusion of such costs can be contro-
versial. One argument for incluslon of distributlon related items ln the
customer cost c'lasstflcation is the "zero or mlnimum size main theory." This
theory assumes that there ls a zero or mlnlmum size main necessary to connect
the customer to the system and thus affords the customer an opportunlty to take
service if he so deslres.
Under the minlmum size main theory, a1'l distribution malns are prlced out
at the historlc unit cost of the sma'llest main instal]ed in the system, and
assigned as customer costs. The remalnlng book cost of dl stributlon malns ls
ass'igned to demand. The zero-lnch main method would a'llocate the cost of a
o
a
o
.23.
theoretica'l main of zero-inch d'iameter to the customer function, and allocate
the remaining costs associated with mains to demand. A ca'lculatlon of a minlmurn
size main is shown in the illustratlve cost allocation study. The contra
argument to the inclusion of certain distributlon costs as customer costs ls
that mains and services are installed to serve demands of the consumers and
shou'ld be allocated to that function. Under this baslc system theory, only
those facllltles, such as meters, regulators and service taps, are considered to
be customer related, as they vary directly with the number of customers on the
sys tem.
Another controversial item is the lnclusion of sales pronotion expenses ln
the customer cost conponent. Ana'lysts vary in thelr opinions as to the extent of
the inclusion. Some would lnc'lude all, some none, and some a portlon of sales
promo'tion expense in the customer category. l.lith emphasis placed on conser-
vation, many regulatory bodies have prohibited this type of activity, and in
those cases, if cost were incurred, it shou'ld be deleted fron the study based
upon its being a "be1ol the llne" or a stockholder expense.
b. Enerqy or Commod'ity Costs
Energy or commodlty costs are those whlch vary with the quant{ty of gas pro-
duced or purchased. They are largely made up of the commodity portlon of
purchased gas cost and the cost of feedstock, cata'lyst, fuel, and other variable
expenses used in the productlon of gas from a manufactured or synthetlc gas
(SNG) plant. Energy or commodlty costs increase or decrease as more or less gas
i s consumed.
c. Demand or Capacity Costs
Demand or capacity costs vary wlth the quantity or slze of plant and equlp-
ment. They are re'lated to maxlmum system requirements rvhich the system ls
o
o
a
.24-
designed to serve during short intervals and do not dlrectly vary wlth the
number of customers or their annual usage. Included in these costs are: the
capital costs associated wlth productlon, transmission and storage plant and
thelr related expensesi the demand cost of gas; and rmst of the capltal costs
and expenses associated with that part of distrlbution plant not allocated to
customer costs, such as the costs associated $rith distributlon mains ln excess
of the mi nlmum slze.
3. Allocatlon of Costs to Custoner C'las es
After the assignnrent of cog.ls to the custorrer, energy, and demand
categories, each category must.be allocated to the varlous service classlflca-
tions or to their subdivisions; -'
il. Customer Costs
Customer costs may be distrlbuted in proportion to the number of customers
in a class, or a more detailed study may be made whereby certaln ccrnponents of
the customer costs may be dlstributed on a per-customer basis, directly asslgned
or dl strlbuted on a welghted per-customer basis. The latter mthod perrnits
recognition of known or ascertainable customer cost differences such as the fre-
quency of meter readings, complexity ln obtalning readlngs or integrating mter
reading charts, and the indlvfdiual attention which may be given to large custo-
mers, such as separate mter readlng schedules.
As discussed earlier, whlle there may be dlfferences on whether certaln
items of plant should be assigned to customer costs, there are clearly certaln
expenses which are independent of whether a customer consumes gas or not. Slnce
these costs will not be recouped lf little or no gas is consumed, they are
generally inc'luded in a minimum bill or customer service charge. f)ne of the

ToAll lntermountain Gas Company Large Volume Customers
Dear Customer,
As you have already been notified, lntermountain Gas Company filed its first General Rate Case in over
thirty (30) years requesting a rate reduction for lntermountain's firm large volume customers. You also
have been made aware of the Company's proposal to implement a Demand Charge whereby each
large volume customer receiving service through one of lntermountain's firm tariffs would be responsible
for paying a monthly Demand Charge based on the customer's contracted Maximum Daily Firm
Quantity, or MDFQ. Said another way, under this proposed billing mechanism, there will now be both
operational and financial ramifications relative to your contracted MDFQ.
lntermountain Gas Company has now initiated an .Open Season'whereby. irespective of your cunent
contract term, you will now be given the opportunity to change your MDFQ election. Under the

RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO.26:
All of Intermountain's costs are assigned to one of three classi/ications based on the
characteristics of the cost. These classifiers are capacity, customer ond commodity. Both Exhibit
Nos. 2l and 22 show how each account has been assigned to these three dffirent classilications.
Customer costs are costs that are incurued to extend service to a customer, attach the customer lo
the distribution system, meter any gas usage and maintain lhe customer's account. Examples of
costs classiJied os customer related include the Rate base account Distibution Meters and the
O&M account Maintenance of Meters/House Regulators.
Capacity costs are those costs associated with a plant lhat is designed, installed and
operated to meet maximum hourly or daily gasflow requirements. Examples of costs classified as
capacity include Rate base accounl Transmission Mains, and the O&M account Maintenance of
Mains.
Commodity costs are those costs thal vary with the throughput sold to, or transportedfor,
customers. These costs are not addressed in the general rate case, but are ruled on eachyear as
part of Intermountain's PGA Jilings.

The regression equations usedfor weather normalization and described on pages j-5 of Ms.
Blattner's testimonyfollow the methodologt outlined in Intermountain's previous weather
normalization case, U- I 034- I 34.
The data used in developing the models can be.found on the attached CD under the PR 27
folder\Data. The /iles are:
PR 27 RSI data.xlsx
PR 27 RS2 data.xlsx
PR 27 GS data.xlsx
The workpapers used in developing and selecting the tinal models are included in the PR 27
folder\WorlEapers. Thetile "PR 27 Model Test.xlsx" includes notes on the statistical validity of
the models, as well as a review of how the models would have performed under actual weather
conditions measured against actual usage for the previous Jive year period. It is also important to
test the models against data that was not included in the model development. This workbook shows
that test for the /irst four months of 2015. Additionally, the Company reviewed how well the models
normalized data for the first six months of 2016 in preparation for Jiling this case. That analysis is
shown in the /ile "PR 27 lTeather Normalization Reconciliation.xlsx".
The weather normalization models and methodologt are regularly reviewed by Ph.D.
statisticians to ensure that the methods follow accepted statistical practice as well as the process
approved in case U-|034-134, and that they are appropriate for weather normalizalion. The
opinion letter resultingfrom that review was included in the case as Exhibit No. 18. Included here

RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO.28:
The data used to weight the weather data by customers (which is refened to in this response
as " Rate Study") is stored in a clustered SqlServer database. Data is imported and processed by
SqlServerjobs running on the production server. All code used by Rate Study is stored on the
securedproduction server. The code consists ofstoredprocedures,functions andviews.
SqlServer Jobs to collect external data:
Rate Study - Import Actual Temps
Rate Study - lmport Billing Data
The section highlighted by dashed lines in Chart I on the following page represents the
stored procedure that calculates the normalized temperatures. The weighting is calculated through
a series oJ'database views (SQL code) using billing data and normalized temperature data. The
final weighted weather is weighted by the proportion of customers in each weother region and
billing cycle.

Ms. Lorl Blattner

Boise, ldaho 83709
Dear Ms. Blattner,
At the request of Intermountain Gas Company, we have revlewed the methodol,ogy used to develop
staflsdcal models for forecasfing monthly and annual nahrnal gas demand measured in therms for
three different customer dasses (RS"1, RS-2, and G$. ln our opinion, the methods used are
apprupriate and are based on sound statisdcal methodology. The lndlcator variables used ln the
forecastlng models for therm usage are consistent wlth buslness prectlce and the economic theory.
While there are alternatlve staustlcal approaches that could be employed that would be acceptable,
there is no basls for belleving that alternative methods would provide superlor results to thosc that your
method has dellvered. Therefore, w6 are of the opinlon thattha methods used by lntermountaln 6as
Company are an appropriate and adequate basls furweather normalization. Furthermore, the
methodology the company has used is consistent wlth that prcvious[ approved bV the ldaho Publlc
Utilities Commlsslon. Your approach follows the methodology approved by the ldaho Public lJtlliHes
Commlssion ln Case U-103+134.
You tested the forecasting accuracy potendd foi each model. You conducted a baclcward forecast
to see how well the models forecast monthly and annual therm use for the years 2010-2015. You
also ran a "truo forecart" test on the first four months of 2016 whlch were not used in developing
the model. The forecast test results demonstrate the vtahlllty of the selected models.
ln summary based on our analysls, the forecastlng approach thatyou have used ls appropriate and
the process you used to arrive at the preferred models is consistent wtth standard forecasdng
methodology. Thts optaton ls supported by our academlc backgrcunds and e:rperiences. Patriclr

I have enclosed for your review a packet that contains the statisticd output for out top Weather Nofilelizlden ms6elt
for each rate class. I belicve these models have bcen developed using an approach drat is consistent with the mettlodology
approved in Case No. U-1034-134.
Scvcral notable stnrctural shifts have occurred in the data since we began collecting it io 1981. First, new building
codes and efficicncy factols have been implemented. According to the.information I pthered, thc Idaho Residential Energlr
Code was adopted by many cities beginning in 1991. This ncw building standard was desip;ned to improve the encrgy
efficieocy of ncw homes. In addition, efficicncy standards for fumaccs and wate! heaters began to improve during thc latc
1980's. Although these standards only applied to new homes and new purchases, we have seen tremendous Sowth in our
customer base since that drne. Over 60% of our customers ale new since 1990. These customers would be using the new
standards and equipment, and as they become a larger percentage of our customer base, they have had a gradual impact on
our therrn usage per custome!,
Further, price stability has changed dramatically io reccnt years. Until 1999 we went through a period of relatively
stable prices. Beginningwith the prices effective in August 1999, however, we entered a period of extreme price volatility
with a gcnerally increasing pricc trend. ln reviewing ouJ usage pci custome( per degree day cherts for the three rate classes
(see "Usage per Custome/), it appeared that usage per customer may have reached a new equilibrium around 2003,
following the ransition to this ncw price environmenL
Finally, I tcsted sorne models based on a time series beginning on October 2C08, The nation-wide economic
downrurn began to affect Idaho in the fdl of 2006. I wanted to test whether there was a difference in the way customers
used nanrral gas following thc onset of the downturn.
To account for all of these factors, I ran models for three different time series. I fust testcd a 25-yet time-pcriod
(Oct. 1990 - Dec. 2014) to account for the efficiency changes, Next, I tested a 72-yeu time period (Oct. 2003 - Dec. 2014)
to account for changes in usage per customer per degree day, resulting from a more volatile price environrnent, customer
conservation measures and housing market conditions. Finally, I tested a short, 7-year time pcriod (Oct 2008 - Dec. 2014)
to account for the impact of the economic downtum.
I developed a l-ist of variables that i thought might be significant in explarning changes in usage per customer. "I'he
attached 'Variables Tested.pdf' oudines the list of potential variables. I began by running correlations on the variablcs to
tcst for sigdficance. The correlation matrix for each of the three classes is attached (see "Correlations,xls). I then selected
independent variables for regression against the dependent variable, actual usage. Each of the selected models meets
nccepted standards for statistical soundness, including a high R2 e0.99), t-statistjcs for each of the variables that indicatc
they are signiEcant G>0.05), and a Durbin-Watson statistic that has bcen corrected where necessary to fall within an
acceptcd range.

o rGC VEATFTER NORMALTZAI'rON, PAGE | 2
Once I came up with models that were statistically acceptable, I used some comparisons to actual usagc to try to
evaluate which models rvould have performed best under actua.l conditions, I compared the usage these models would have
predicted for the past 6ve years with our ach:al usagc for the same period (2010 through 2014). Additionally, I compared
thc predicted usage to actual usage forJan - Apr 2015. 'lhe end date for data used in the model development was Dec
2014. This provided 4 months that werc not included in the model development dam upon which I could test the models'
performance. I selected thc past five years as the test yeats because we believe they most closely represcnt tlc conditions
we may experience in the near future.
The RS-l models I am sending are M03,4b (data series 2003.10 through 2014.12, with monthly dcgree day variables, a
winter trend, and monthly binary), and M03.4 (data series 2003.10 through 2014.12with monthly degree day variables and a
wintet trencl), r\fter I ran the original M03.4 model, I noticed that it did not perform wcll io the shoulder months (the
months going into and coming out of 'rinter where the relationship between usage and the weather is not as strong). 'I'o
help account for this I tested some monthly binaries. April remained in the model as being significant in helping to further
rc6ne this model.
Thc RS-2 models I am sending include M03,4b (daa series 2003.10 through 2014.12, with monthly dcgree variables, a
winter trcnd, and monthly binaries), and M08.2 (data series 2008,10 through 2014.12, rvith monthly degrec day variablcs and
a winter pricc variable).
The GS models I am sending include M03.4b (data serics 2003.10 through 2014.12, with monthly degree variables, a
winter trcnd, and moothly binary), M03.4 (daa series 2003.10 through 2014.12 with monthly degree day variables and a
winter trcnd).
The modcis I have listed first in cach customcr class are my favorites, I hope that this information rvill be helpfi:l as
you conduct your analysis and that you havc enough background on our project. [f you need any additional information or
backgJound, please let me know.
r\s wc discussed in February, we plan for your review to take the month of June. I vill bc available to answer
qucstions and incorporatc your suggestions into the modcls until we are able to devclop models we are all comfortable with.
tsyJuly ltt, we expect to have e-mail confrmation from you that the final models we decide on through this collaborative
process are acceptable in your opinion. Then, by July 15, 2015 you will provide us with a formal lettcr conveying yout
expert opinion regarding thc validity of thc weather normnlization models.
You can reach me by phr:ne at 208-861-6622 or by c-mail. I look fonvard to working with you on this proiect

IN THE MATTER OF INTERMOI.'NTAIN GAS
COMPANY'S APPLICATION TO CHANGE
ITS RATES AND CHARGES FORNATURAL
GAS SERVICE
Case No. INT-G-16-02
RESPONSE OF INTERMOUNTAIN
GAS COMPANY TO SIXTH
PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE
COMMISSION STAFF
COMES NOW, Intermountain Gas Company, and in response to the Sixth Production
Request of the Commission Staff to Intermountain Gas Company dated October 12,2016, herewith
submis the following information:
REQUEST NO. 120: On page 5 of her testimony, Ms. Blattner explains that she used a test
year using 6 months of actual data and six months of forecasted data. Please provide the
workpapers, assumptions, and supporting data used to create this forecast. Please explain why
forecast, rather than actual weather data was used.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 120:
The forecasted therm usage data was developed in the following steps:
l. Intermountain used data.from October 2003 - December 2014 to create regression
equations that were used both to weather normalize actual months and toforecast usage in
the forecast months. The regression study was submitted in response to Production Requesl
No.27.

2. The Company then applied the regression equations to normal heating degree days and
forecast trend to arive at usage per customer. The /ile " PR I20 Usage Calculation.r/sx "
provides an tllustration of how the regressionformulas were applied. The resulting usage
forecast can be found in the Jile "PR 120 Usage per Customer.xlsx" in Excel columns A-G.
3. The regression study is based upon aEage per customer data. To calculate usage per
customer, the Company took the total billed usage for the month divided by customers
actually using natural gas to arrive at usage per customer. Customers receiving billing
adjustments and customers that had zero usage for the month were excludedfrom the
divisor. Because the regression equalions are used to establish a relationship between
natural gas usage, wealher, and other explanatory variables, the Company believed it was
appropriate to removefrom the customer total those customers that did nol use any natural
gas. As would be expected, during the sttmmer months of June through October, the many
RS-l and GS customers who use natural gas for heating purposes only were removedfrom
the divisor because their usage during those months u'as zero.
Since these cuslomers are paying a customer charge year round, however, they are included
in the customer count in Exhibit No. l5 in order to accurately reJlecl the revenue generated
from the customer charge. To eliminate the confusion of having a customer count to apply to
usage and a separote cuslomer count to apply to the customer charge, Intermountain chose lo
adjust the usage in the June through October period to accountfor these zero usage customers
in the RS- I and GS closses. That calculation is included in this response in the file " PR I 20
Usage per Customer.xlsx" on the "RS-I Adj" and "GS Adj" tabs. The resulting usage per
customer that was applied to Exhibit No. l5 forecast customers to generote forecast usage is
listed in Excel columns I through O of thefile "PR 120 Usage per Customer.xlsx".

RESPONSE OF IGC TO SIXTH PRODUCTION REQUEST OF COMMISSION STAFF Page2
o
o Forecast, or Normal degree days were used to calculate usage in the.forecast months of July
through December 2016, becouse actuol weatherfor those months had not yet occurredwhen the
case was /iled. The processfor weather normalizing the months of January through June 2016 is
explained in Production Request No. 121.

Sponsor/Preparer:Lori Blattner, 208-3 77-6000
REQUEST NO. 121: Please provide the workpapers, assumptionsn and supporting data
used to determine the Company's weather normalized consumption as summarized in Table B.1 of
Ms. Blattner's direct testimony, and used by Company witness Darrington.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. I21:
The process ofweather normalizing actual consumption also begins with the regression
equations provided in response to Production Request No. 27. As illustrated in thefile "PR l2l
ll'eather Normalization Adjustment.xlsx", the actaal degreesfor the month are subtractedfrom the
normal degree days for the month. The heating degree day regre.ssion coefficient for the
appropriate month is applied to the change in degree days to calculate the change in usage
resultingJiom the dffirence in heating degree daysfrom normal. Finally, that adjustment is
applied to customers to arrive al the total change in usage for the class. The actual therm usage for
lhe RS-[, RS-2 and G,Sc/asses was westher normalized in this mannen

I The better policy option is to use inclining block rates, charging customers more - not
2 less - per therm as they use more energy. Inclining rates send a strong price signal to customers
3 that they should invest in energy efficiency, significantly reducing the payback time for these
4 investments. If inclining block rates are not feasible, a flat per therm rate would achieve greater
5 conservation impact than declining rates.

PIPELINE'S RATE INCREASE
EFFECTTVE DECEMBER. I, 1985
CASE NO. U-103'+-139
oRDER NO. 20966
On October 31, 1986, tie ldaho Public Utilities Commission (Commission)
recelved an application (U-1034-13?; -137) from Intermountain Gas Company [GC;
Conpany; Appllcant) requesting autlrortty to revise its residential service (RS-l), nulttple
use residential service (RS-z), general senrice (G$1), large volurne firm seMce (LV-l;
LV-IA) and traruportation service (I-1) rate sctredules, based upon lts rate structure and
destgt studies, to beome effective December I, 1985. The Commission detenmined that
implementatlon would not occur urtil after public hearing and order of the Commission.
(liltln CodB S6l-522; Ofier No. 20853.)
IGC as part of its -137 application seeks to incorforate deferred revenue
reductions resultiug from two decreases in its cost of purchased gas frorn Northwest
Plpellne Corporation (Northwest) (tracker application, Case Nos. U-1034-136 (-136);
U-1034-f32 (-132). The total arurualized decrease under the -135 and -132 trackers
totals $8,890,241, The Company pnoposes that the decrease be spread among the classes
on a uniform cents per therm basis, Additionally, the Company perceives the LV-l
industrial class to be subsidizing residential (RS-l; RS-2) and commerclal (GS-l) classes.
It therefore seeks to eliminate the cross'+ubsidies and reallocate revenue responsibility
between the classes based on a cost-of-service analysis.

oOn November 20, 1986, the Commission received a second application
(U-103,[-139; -139) from IGC rquesting authority to temporarily defer submission and
implementation of new rate schedules reflectlng an increase in its cost of purchased gas
from Northwest. IGC, utilizing a l2-month test period ending April 30, 1985, adusted for
known and meagurable changes, indicates that it will e:rpenience on an annuallzed basis a
permanent increase of 1.1420 per therm in Northwestrs ODL-1 and SGS-I comrnodity
charges or $2,819,841. Under the Company's proposed allocation, the entire increase
would be allocated to the GS-l commercial class.
The Commission in Order No. 20895 joined -139 with -137 for purpose of public

A post-hearlrE matter to be addrecsed at the concluslon of this Order is the
Decernben 18, 1985 Application of Northwest Irdustrlal Gas Usens (NWIGU)for lntervenor
furding.
THE -I37 CASE
Intermountain Gas Cornpany ln tts -13? Application seeks to elimlnate the
cross-suboidy odsting between tts scheduled rate classes, narrow its competitive
disadvantage wlth alternative firels ard temper the ttrreat of bypass. Additionally, the
Conpany wishes to use this case as a vehlcle for tracking through the revenue effect of
decreases in lts cost of purchased gas. We dlscuss these topics in tr.rn.
COST{F-SERVIG,
The primary ttlrust of the Company's Aplicatton ls to secure an adJrstment to
rates that will provide it the opportunity or enable it to retaln its high-load factor
industrial or LV-l customer class and prevent further loss or deterioration of load within
that class to alternatlve fuels. The Company perceives that the LV-l class is subsidizing
the residential and commercial classes. It seeks to eliminate this cross-subsidy by
reallocatlng revenue responsibility between its customer classes pursuant to
coet-of-service analysis.
Cost of service is the standard that is most often used for gas utilities as a
measune of geneiral rate levels. The Comrnission has always etpressed a preference for
multiple cost-of-service studies for prrrpose of analysts and establishing the parameters
forcost allocation. Reducing any dynarnic systern to a static one for pupose of study has
llmitations. The results of studies vary according to the subJective assumptions
underlying the objective arlthmetic.

Stmply stated, a cost-of-servlce study for a Eas utllity is a three-part process
of functionalization, classification and allocation. Costs are first assigned to functional
categories (i.e., distribution, storage, transmission, genenal plant, etc.). Costs are then
classified into coot categories of capacity or demand, commodity, and crstomer. The
final step involves allocation of the costs to the customer classes. This determines
revenue responsibility for cost-based rates. The results of allocation will vary based on
whatever factor or mettndolory is used
The demand allocation factors or rnethodologies of stgnificance utillzed tn -137
are (l) Peak and Average demand (P/A), (2) Average and Excess demand (AED), (3)
Coincident Peak (CP), 8nd (4) Non-coincident Peak (NCP). An addittonal study was
presented by the Courpany allocatlng demand related costs on the basis of Commodity.
Cornmodity allocatlon is allocation of c[sts on the basis of relative annual usage.
The Cornpany's preferred mettrodolory for demand allocation is the Peak and O
Average rnethod, a modification or reflnement of the Average and Excess method. Under
the P/A methodolory demand costs are assigrred on the basis of a two-part formula which
recognizes (1) avenage use of capacity ard (2) responsibility for the total capacity
required to meet the maxinum system demands, This differs frpm AED which in the
second part recognizes responsibiltty for only the "additional capacity'r required to meet
the maxlmum slatem demands.
Coincident Peak is based upon the demands of the various classes of service at
the time of the system or sub-sSrstem peak. It assumes the cost associated with the
maximum load should be divlded among the customers causlng such peak load, regardless
of the magnitude of their demands at any other time.

*Compaay' B Preferred lGthod
Although the potential results of costd-senlce strdies are as unbourded as the
imaglnatlon, we accept the results of these sfidies as defintng the parameters of our
analysis in this proceeding.
The preferred methodolory adopted W the Company for demand allocatlon in
this case departs from the methodolory utlllzed ln Case No. U-1034-122 (-L22), a
tradltional Average arud Excess demand study (AED). The Company has utilized the

Althongh IGC characterizes lts p'referred methodolory in -137 as Peak and Aveirage (P/A),
it is not a true P/A. In reality, the Company's stud5r is essentially an NCP study, as the
majonity of plant is allocated on NCP. The Company asserts that the NCP and the CP are
identicial. Therefore, IGC's study approaches the higtr end of the spectrum, the CP
mettlodolory supported by NVYIGU.
The alteirnative -122 stldy (AED) as depicted in tle Comparison of
Cost-of-Service chart and as presented W Staff also shows that an imbalance exists.
Unfortunately, the -122 ard -137 cost-of+ervice studles Ganrpt be directly compared.
The -122 AED methodology utilizes the functionalization and classificatlon of plant and
e)eense items as deterniroed appropriate in -122. The -13? methodologies, as presented
by the Company, on the other hand, have implemented some changes in firnctionalization
and classification. Several items alleged by the Company to be improperly classified or
allocated are the following: O
(1) Revenue fiom transportation of gas
o -122 allocated revenue to all classes, although related plant and
e)eenses assigred only to LV-l
o -137 allocatedrevenue solely to LV-l class
(2) Admlnistratlon and General E;penses
o -12275% allocated based upon var{able gas supply
costs
25% allocated to plant lnvestment costs
o -137 50% allocated based on O&M costs
5006 allocated based on plant-in-service co6tg
(3) Meter investrnent and e:(penses
o -122 allocated part customer and part demand

Wtdle these refinements arguably may have merit because of changed
conditions, the Company's proposal ls flawed in that it fails to present
studies allocating all or a greater pnoportlon of dernand costs under a
refined -122 AED rnethodolory or under a true P/A methodology.
In attemptlng to speorlate what a true P/A methodology would
require by way of revenue shift, we look at Staff Exhtbit 101, Schedule A.
This is a Company cost-of-service nrn using its prefenred P/A methodolory
and using P/A for both storage and transmission. The effect of using P/A on
the small amount of storage plant owned by the Company ($3,650,235)
rather than CP reduces the revenue reduction required for equal rate of
refinn to the LV-l class by $18?,533, frorn $4,520,7q6 to $4,333,213. We
would erqpect that if distribution ($51,496,225) was allocated in a similar
manner, P/A rather than NCP, that the requlred change in.revenue would be
furtheir decreased.
We flnd that no cost{f-serice study presented in thls case
accurately defines IGC's csts of senrrlng its customers. This ls not to say,
however, that the studies are without value. An awareness of the
llmitations pernits reasoned analysis of the results.
In the studies presented the colncident ard non-coincident peaks
were identical, occurring as they did on a sirgle day, December 12, 1984.
This collapsiug results in simllar demand allocation under either CP or NCP
methodologies. An occurrence of this nature on its face would seem to
indicate that there is an absence of diversity throughout the system.
Diversity is the ratio of the sum of non-coincident maximum demands of a
systemfs clrstomers to the maximum demand on the whole system. It is
oRDER NO. 20965
Exhibit

o

that characteristic of variety of loads whereby the irdividual maximum
demands of a qTstem's customers usually occur at dfferent tines. While it
might be true that there is little diversity between the classes, certainly
there is diversity within the classes. We remind the Company that its
system plant was built not only to provide sendce on a single December
peak day but also for the remafuring 364 days of the year. That IGC
customers do not use gas. in different emounts and at different times belies
reason. It is because of this diversity that we prefer a methodology that
recognizes averate usage over one that recognlzes only peak usage.
AE stated above, the coincldent peak rnethod for demand
allocation allocates demand related cost only to those customens who use
seMce at the time of systen or subsystem peak. we flnd that a pure peak
methodolory is inappropriate in a system that is unconstrained. IGC has
neither comnodity nor capacity constraints.
Mr. Harold Cook for NWIGU crlticized the Conpany's utilization
of Peak Average rnetMolory for allocation of transmission as
discrirninatlng against htgh load factor customers by ndouble counting." The
error factor attributed to this "double counting" was calculated by the
Company to be erilremely negligible or insignlficant (less than 0.0990).
NWIGU proposes that transmission be allocated on the basis of Coincident
Peak. For reasons already discussed we reject this pno,posal. Under
NMGU's proposal entire plant would be allocatd under either Coincident
Peak or Non-Coincident Peak. We find this lnappropriate.

The AED method is argued to be inapFopriate in a $Btem with no
interruptibte qstomers. It ls stated that the method collapses to the CP
denand method, that the average demand element is lost and that enerBr
usate is not being consldened. UnUke an NCP collapstng lnto a CP, the
mathematics of thls collapse is difflcult to track. The dispartty and maryin
of dlfference ln required dollar spread to achleve parity.between classes is
of such a magnitude that it would appear that AED continues to have
validlty for purpoee of allocation anal5rsis.
The Commission believes there to be slgniflcant merit to the Peak
and Average methodology as presented by the Company. It regretc that IGC
chose not to present the Commission wlth a cost-of-service study which
allocated all or nore of the demand related costs on ttrc basis of P/A. What
the Company has presented is a melded appnoach incorporating a blending of
NCP, CP and PIA rnethodologies. For thls reaoon we find ourselves
constrained to reJect its preferred methodology.
In reverting to the Average and Excess methodology we are
endorsing a method that takes into account both average usage and system
peak. We continue to find that demand related plant is constructed to rneet
not only a slngle peak day demand but also the average rse throughout the
year. Even though AED has been subJect to critlcism, the Company has not
provided this Comruission with a reasonable middle ground.
It was the consensus of two tntervenons, NWIGU and Northwest,
that elimlnation of the cross-subsidies between classes was the single most
important step in retentlon of industrial load. The elimination of cross
substdies is also a stated obiective of the Company and of this

Commission. We do not, howorer, accept these parties' quantlficatlons of
the cross-subsides.
In light of the foregoing discussion we find it appropriate, Just ard
reasonable that cost-of-service reallocation be in conformance with the
presented -122 AED methodolory as set out in Attachment 1 to this Order.
We reject the proposed shifttng of revenue responsibillty between classes as
per the Conpany cost-of-reMce anal)6is. Because of its slrnllarity we also
relect the coot-of-senvlce allocation propoaed by NMGU.
-132 and -136 TRACKER DECREASES
IGC propooed an allocation and flow-through to the customer
classes of recent pipeline reductions in cost of gas to IGC qn 3 nnlforn
cents per therm basis. The total decrease under the -135 and -132 trackers
totals $8,890,241. Staff and Intervenors agreed wlth the Companyrs
prryosed method of adJrrstment. We find it appropriate, iust and reasonable
that the proposed -132 and -136 decreases be tracked through on a uniform
cents/therm basis.
-I39 TRACKER INCRENE
The Company pnoposes allocating the entire -139 increase totalllng $2,819,841
to the commercial GS-l class, This is a departure from cost-of-service based rates which
favors allocation on a unlform cents per therm basis to all classes. The net effect to the
GS-l class would increase the cost per therm by 4.4930 (increase revenue $2,797,322).

In departing from ncost-of-seMce" as a basis for price diffenentiation and
allocatlon IGC prqo,ses that this Commisslon adopt a rtvalueof-service* or demand
related aproach and inplement competitively structured rates.
The 'Value of servlcen argument of IGC is a proposed allocatton based on
perceived market conditions and competition that threaten loes of load within the LV-1
class. The Company argues that crose-subcldy should be allowed in redestgn to the ertent
that the value of seMce must be temporarily met to maintain customer load; and that it
should then be allowed only to the ortent that the substdtzed class is elastic enough to
requlre tbe ehift of cost brrdens to the remalning classes, i.e., the captive core market.
The Compary has based its declslon on an assessment that the GS-l class has a marginally
greater competltlve advantage in the tariffprice of natural gas over other fuels than any
other senrrice class. In the residential class IGC sees natural gas as being only marginally
competltive with wood, oil, coal and some electric heat punps. It views any firther
allocation tn -139 to thls class under its proposal as erodlng this marginally competitive
posture.
A collateral matten that bears mentlonlng is ttre concem e:pressed by IGC that
it is presently r:nable to Justify the advance of cmstrrrction costs related to further
extension of residential setvice glven its present nentension policytt tariff requiring a
lZ.Solo return on rate base prlor to free extension. The Company indicated that it would
be economically feasible to hook-up addltlonal customers lf lt were able to recover the
construction ard qther assoclated costs wtthin six months. lVe anticipate that the revenue
reallocation occasioned by this Order will help justify further o<tenslon wlthout further
charge. If the situation persists however, the Conpany should conslder requesting an
appropriate tariff change and implementing a shift in rnarketing stratery. Any frrther

extension of service is of benefit to the entire customer class.
Hce differentiation ln a ncost-of-service" approach is generally based on
differences in time of use, load factor or amount of use (average load elpressed as a
percentage of peak load). In this case it would be a reasonable form of discrimination
based upon attempts to estimate long-term or short-terrn iqts to the system of serving a
static or slowly changtng load. Price diffenentlation in a \alue of service'r or demard
approach is rate discrinination also. In this case lts justification would be an attempt to
quantify the benefits of retaining certaln customers on the system. The controlling factor
dictating the proposed allocation is an assessment of "what the traffic will bear" or the
elastlcity of the resp€ctive classes.
A discussion of IGCrs proposed allocatlon of the -139 tracker would not b€
cornplete wlthout touching upon its competltive postrre vrs-a-vis alternative fuels and
the pencelved ttrreat of bypass. O
The dual fuel capability of the indusfial or LV-l class rnakes the Cornpany
htghly susceptlble to signiflcant load loss to alternative fuels, elther oil or coal. This loss
may be temporary or short-term when the alternative fuel is oil because most facilities
that burn either oil or gas are designed with minor rnodification to burn the other as well.
Thts capability permits the customer to easlly come on and go off the rystem. The loss of
load may be long-term or permanent if the tndustrtal customer invests ln plant to use coal
because the same faciltties carupt use both coal aruC gas. The market price of natural gas
is rpt remotely competltlve to coal. If there is a switch to coal the likelihood of
recapturi$ the customer is small.
The immediate thneat comes not from cpal but from oil. Nattnal gas is the fuel
of choice for many tndustrial applications because of the increased associated costs of
rnaterlals handling for oil. It therefore carrles a premium of perhaps l-3$/therm
depending on the custorner and the tllpe of oil. This premium, however, is not O

large enough to bridge the gap between the present market price of natural gas and the
prtcing of No. 5 and No. 2 fuel oils. The Company adnittedly is not oompetitlve wlth No.
5 oil. It only hopes to be somewhat competltive wlth No. 2 oil. Reportedly No. 5 oll is
fes€ntly pniced at 20-23$ltherm equlvalent in southeast ldaho. No. 2 oil is priced at
approxlmately a zTQlthero equivalent. The current average prtce undpr the LV-l tariff is
329/therm. This is equivalent to $20 per barrel oil.
The rnarket indicators provtde a basis for at best guarded speculation. The
Cornpany projects that the contlnued decline ln Northwest Pipeline rates is at or near the
end. The rnost recent -139 tracker increase following a serlee of decreases would seem to
srpport the Companyrs projection in the short term. The Company also projects that
world oil pnices may decllne even frrrther. This Commlsglon caDtrot ignore recent
posturiq by the Organization of Petroleum Exporttng Countries (OPEC) and the resultant
ramifications in the markeplace that would seem to lndlcate an qmoslte trend-
IGC has charactenized its aplicatlon as a defensive mfurg. It foresees any
future competitive edge enabling it to retain the hlgh load factor LV-l class as tled to
"q)en accessil becorning a reality. Northwest Plpeline is awalting FERC action on its -435
Blanket Certificate Application for open access transpor'tatiom, CP 8G578. lntertm open
acoess meanwhile has been shut down by the pipeline. The harsh realtty volced by Reed
Pennirg for the Company is that: "we & not really know what wtll happen or when tt wtll
happen." The Comparprrs assegsment is not wtthout basls. A resolutlon of the Northwest
Pipeline open access problem at FERC is probably of greater moment to the LV-l class
and the Company than the decislon we make here today.
The threat of b1ryass, the dlrect sale of natural gas by Northwest to an LV-l
end-user, becomes possible only with the availability of open access. Northwest states
that it "will not passlvely observe a switch to alternate fuels or the closing of factlities

oby an end-user resulting from lack of competitively4rtced natural gas.n It futher states
that tt "would blryass a local distribution company (LDC) in orden to presene and maintaln
load." Northwest's concsn is real. It has e:rperienced a rystem-wide decrease ln annual
load from 450 billion cubic feet (bcfl to 1986 estimate of 185 to 190 bcf (tncludtttg
ffansportation would pull total market up to the range of 240 to 250 bcf). Extension of an
interconnect service line together wlth taps & meters connecting the pipeline directly to
an er$+ser rnust be preceded by an application for Federal Enerry Regulatory
Commission (FERC) authority. The atterdant co6ts for interconnect and dupllcation of
facilities, ostenslbly to be borne by the erd-rser, may in many lnstances prove to be
pnohibttive. David Hawk for Simplot stat$ tbat ilthe option of blDa*s mnst be avallable

rather to lnsure falr treatment." The rrfair treatnentrr requested ln this instance is
prefenential pnicins and a substdy to the LV-l class O
L. C. Randolph for Northwest speculates that "loss of customers by (tGC) to
either alternate fuels or blpass wlll create what some have called the ndeath spiral"".
Jnst the name itself is erough to engender fear. Under suctr a scenario as prlce increases
more ostomers leave the system necessitatlng further increas€s tn pnice ... a viclous
cycle. The elasticlty of the LV-l,clasg and its dual fuel capability and consequent
sporadic consumption patterns contribute to its volatile and unstable character. It is such
characteristics that prompted Staff to conclude that the LV-l class was riskier than the
core market residential and commercial classes. To realistically evaluate the tlreat
facing the Company one must assess the e)posure to the Company of a total loss of the
LV-l load. This was attempted by Cornrnission Staff. Its analysls although tntrtguing

does not form a basts for our declslon. It estimated that 5.40/therm was a realistlc
representation of the actual increase to the captlve core market residentlal and
commerclal classes resulting fiom the conseq,renttal shifting of fixed costs away from the
LV-l class. Staffrs estirnate assumes open access and that the load would not be lost
tnstantaneously, but rathen over at least a three-year pertod.
Staff and intervenor, NLGU, have recommended allocation of -139 on a
urlform cents/therm basis although perhaps for different reasons. This approach is
reasonable given the aparent disparity or margin of dlffenence ln the price of natunal gas
ard No. 2 ard No. 5 otls. There is little jrrstiflcation fq the dirgcriminatory propoeed
allocatlon advocated by the Company tf the deslred end, a competitiveness with No. 2 oil,
canrpt reasonably be accomplished. Such a potential was only marginally obtalnable if
the Commission were to adopt the Company's preferred cost-of-servlce study. For
reasons already stated we rejected that strdy. The natural g3s industry is a volatlle one.
Changirtg market conditions may provide the adjustment needed by the Company in
malntatnlng or reassurning a competltive posture vis-a-ds oil. We anticipate that the
reallgnment of revenue responsibility attendant to the cost-of-servlce as set out herein
will significantly aid the Company in closing the competltlve gap.
