RE:IDAHO POWER COMPANY TARIFF ADVICE NO.15-03 REVISIONS
TO SCHEDULE 66,MISCELLANEOUS CHARGES
On March 27,2015,Idaho Power submitted Tariff Advice 15-03 to revise Idaho Power’s
Electric Service Schedule No.66 (Miscellaneous Charges),consistent with Commission Order
No 33229 in Case No.GNR-U-14-01.The Company proposes a new reconnection charge for its
customers with a remote connect/disconnect meter be set at $13 during all hours and days.The
Company requests that the proposed revisions become effective Mayl,2015,which corresponds
to the effective date of the Order.
BACKGROUND
On September 30,2014,Avista Corporation.Idaho Power Company,and PacificCorp
dba Rocky Mountain Power,petitioned the Commission for an Order exempting them from
Customer Relations Rule (UCRR)311.04 and .05 (IDAPA 31.21.01.11.04 and .05).Bdetly,
subsection (4)requires the utility to attempt to meet customers at their home or businesses before
disconnecting their service for non-payment to provide an opportunity for the customer to pay
their bill and avoid disconnection.Subsection (5)requires the utility to inform customers how
they can have service restored if payment is not made at the time of disconnection.
In the petition,Idaho Power proposed a reconnect charge of $13 for customers with a
remote connect/disconnect meter regardless of when a request for reconnection is received.This
amount is less than current charges for reconnection,as shown on the attached Sheet No.66-3.
On February 17,2015,the Commission issued OrderNo.33229 granting the utilities’request to
DECISION MEMORANDUM -1-APRIL 10,2015

Commission found it reasonable and in the public interest for Idaho Power to reduce its
reconnection charge as proposed.Tariff Advice No.15-03 was submitted to comply with
Order No.33229.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of Idaho Power’s proposed changes to Schedule 66 to
establish a reconnection charge ofSl3 for customers with remote connect/disconnect meters.
