Stabilization Act) "lESS", Idaho Code §§ 61-332, et seq., in order to allow Avista to supply
electrc servce to CPC customer Steven A. Henderson (the "Customer").

owned by the Customer.CPC is entitled to provide electric service to a shop being
33 constructed by Customer on the premises which requires three-phase electric services. CPC

1 however, Avista has existing overhead distrbution lines approximately 650 feet from
2 Customer's new shop site. As such, Customer's cost for Avista extending thee-phase
3 electric service to the shop site would be substantially less than Customer's cost for CPC
4 extending such service. Furher, the Paries agree that it would be more convenient for the
5 Customer to receive one biling for electric service at this location.
6 The Company requests that this filing be processed under the Commission's Modified
