SEVENTH PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF
Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Gregory P. Wyatt
REQUEST NO. 157:
Please explain how the United Water Idaho facilities shown in the EnerNOC-Idaho Power
Demand Response Program Sales and Services Agreement were selected for the program.
RESPONSE NO. 157:
Using the United Water Idaho staff knowledge of production and distribution system
capabilities, the United Water Idaho facilities selected for the ENERNOC program were based
on location, size and relative impact on customers.
The 10cation of the selected facilities was optimal for preventing sudden changes in the supply of
pressure or volume to the distribution system during a potential curailment period. This was due
to the proximity oflarge, on-line, gravity reservoir storage.
The size of the electrical power demand at a selected facility had to be large enough to be viable,
meaning facilities that have large horsepower (::250 HP) motors. The size ofthe electrical
power demand at each facility selected is important because EnerNOC had to install expensive
electrcal demand monitoring equipment at each facility enrolled in the program. EnerNOC's
program focused on larger facilities in order to meet their contracted demand response
curtailment levels, and at the same time keep their front-end costs under control. EnerNOC was
unwiling to contract for facilities that they considered to be too small in electrical demand.
The ability to curtail use of the selected facilities without impacting service to customers was of
primary importance. Pressure, service and water quality to customers had to remain unaffected
by a potential curtailment. The facilities selected had no direct pressure contribution to the
distribution system that was not mitigated by the aforementioned reservoir storage.

REQUEST NO. 15':
In response to PrOduction Request No. 83, the Company ilustrates how the benefit of the
EnerNOC Demand Response Program was estimated to determine the Total Pro Forma
Purhased Power Expense. Why were the "Energy Payments" shown in section 3, par d of the
agreement Or the "True-Up Payment" shown in section 3, par e of the agreement not included. as
a benefit ofthê program?
RESPONSE NO. 159:
At the time that the curent rate filing was being prepared for submission to the Commission the
"EnergyPayment'~and "True-up Payment" vaIues were not mown an measurable. Theonly
known value was in the nominated capacity and payments associated with this capacity.. That
value was il1cludedin the fiihg.
On Tuesd.ay, Deceml1~r 8, 2009 the Company leared that EnerNOC reduced the number ofthe
Company' i;facilitiesenrolled. in the Demand ResponseProgram and that they revised the
Company's enrlled. monthly capacity nOmination downward to 1,548 kW for 2009 and the
remaining years ofthe Program. Ths new lower nomination capacity forms the basis for alJ
payments by E:rerNOC to the Company under the Program.
To date the CompanY has received only one payment from EnerNOC .in the amount of $ 174,
which represents the Company's nominated. capacity payment for June 2009, based øn the
revised 1,548 kW leveL. Based On this new.level of nominated capacity theCompany can expect
a total of $ 1 8,23 1 anually for the three months of the Program ($6,077 per month) incapacity
payments.
