COMMISSION STAFF
FROM:MICHAEL LOUIS
DATE:JULY 1,2015
SUBJECT:TARIFF ADVICE REGARDING MODIFICATION OF ROCKY
MOUNTAIN POWER’S RULE 6,COMPANY’S INSTALLATION,
SPECIFYING THE SECONDARY SERVICE VOLTAGE OPTIONS
AVAILABLE TO CUSTOMERS
On June 24,2015,Rocky Mountain Power Company filed Tariff Advice No.15-03
requesting authority to modify Rule 6,Company’s Installation.The Company requests these
updates to become effective on August 14,2015.
STAFF ANALYSIS
PacifiCorp publishes an Electric Service Requirements Manual (ESRM)to guide
customers in the installation of new service.The 3”’edition of the ESRM that the Company
intends to release in August of 2015 to be effective on January 1,2016 lists voltage options
available across all states within PacifiCorp’s service territory.1-lowever,there are two voltage
options listed in the ESRM that Rocky Mountain has not previously offered and does not want
introduced into its Idaho service territory.The new ESRIvI will specify that the voltage options
available in each state will be subject to Rule 6—Company’s Installation with a link to each
state’s regulation.The modification to Rule 6 the Company has proposed provides the specific
secondary service voltage options that Rocky Mountain will continue to provide and maintain
within its Idaho service territory.
Staff has reviewed the application and believes this request does not materially change the
current regulation,but provides a benefit by clarifying voltage service options available to Idaho
Customers.
