Re: Case No. GNR-E-10-01
In the Matter of the Adjustment of Avoided Cost Rates for New PURPA
Contracts for Avista Corporation, d/b/a Avista Utilities; Idaho Power
Company; and PacifiCorp, d/b/a Rocky Mountain Power
Dear Ms. Jewell:
On March 9, 2010, Idaho Power Company received a letter from the Commission
Staff regarding the above-referenced proceeding. In that March 9 letter, Commission Staff
included sheets showing the results of Staffs recomputation of the Company's avoided
costs rates using the new Northwest Power and Conservation Council gas forecast. This
wil advise the Commission that Idaho Power has reviewed the revised rates provided by
the Commission Staff and has concluded that the revised rates represent an accurate
computation of Idaho Power Company's posted-avoided cost rates consistent with the
methodology previously approved by the Commission. As such, Idaho Power believes that
it would be in the public interest for the Commission to approve the rate sheets provided to
the Company by the Commission Staff.
