Re: Cssc Nos. AVU-E-18-04, IPC-E-18-05, PAC-E-18-02 - Update to Published Avoided
Cost Rates to Rcflect an Updated Natural Gas Price Forecast of the U.S. Energy
Information Administration (EIA)
Pursuart to the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA) and the implementing
regulations of the Federal Energy Regulatory Cornmission (FERC), the Idaho Public Utilities
Commission (Commission) has approved a Surrogate Avoided Resource (SAR) methodology for
calculation of published avoided cost rates paid by Avista, Idaho Power, and PacifiCorp to
PURPA qualifuing cogeneration and small power production facilities ("qualiffing facilities" or
"QFs"). Avoided cost rates are the purchase price paid to QFs for purchases of QF capacity and

energy. The release of a new natural gas price forecast by the U.S. Energy Information
Administration (EIA) triggered an updated calculation of published avoided cost rates under the
SAR methodology.
In accordance with the SAR methodology approved in Order No. 32697, the "reference case"
natural gas price forecast for the Mountain Region's Electric Power sector included in EIA's
Annual Energy Outlook serves as the basis for computing published avoided cost rates. In Order
No. 32697, the Commission also found that the final release of Annual Energy Outlook
automatically triggers a reealculation of the published avoided cost rates. In Order No. 32802,
the Comrnission clarified that an update should occur on June I or within 30 days of the final
release of the Annual Energy Outlook, whichever is later.
EIA released the Annual Energy Outlook 2018 on February 6, 2018. Staff has used this forecast
to compute the new published avoided cost rates. A copy of the relevant natural gas price
forecast is attached.
Also attached are updated published avoided cost rates for all tkee utilities, Please review the
rates and file your respective responses (either written or via e-mail) with the Commission on or
prior to April 19, 2018. The case caption is as follows:
UPDATE TO PUBLISI"IED AVOIDED COST RATES TO REFLECT AN
UPDATED NATURAL GAS PRICE FORECAST OF THE U.S, ENERGY
INI]ORMATION ADMINISTRATION (EIA)
Thank you for your cooperation. Please contact Yao Yin (vao.vil*Bnucj.daho.gov) for an
electronic copy of the most recent SAR model. Please feel free to conlact me or Yao if you have
any questions.
