CASE NO. GNR-E-ll-03 IDAHO POWER COMPANY DIRECT TESTIMONY OF LISA A. GROW 1 Q.Please state your name and business address. 2 A.My name is Lisa A. Grow and my business 3 address is 1221 West Idaho Street, Boise, Idaho 83702. 4 Q.By whom are you employed and in what capacity? 5 A.I am employed by Idaho Power Company (" Idaho 6 Power" or "Company") as the Senior Vice President of Power 7 Supply. 8 Q.Please describe your educational background 9 and work experience with Idaho Power. 10 A.I graduated from the Uni versi ty of Idaho in 11 1987 with a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical 12 engineering. I received an Executive Masters of Business 13 Administration from Boise State University in 2008. I 14 began my career at Idaho Power after graduating from the 15. University of Idaho in 1987, and have held several 16 engineering positions before moving into management in 17 2005. In 2005, I was named Vice President of Delivery 18 Engineering and Operations. In 2009, I was appointed to my 19 current position as Senior Vice President of Power Supply. 20 My current responsibilities include overseeing the 21 operation and maintenance of Idaho Power's generation 22 fleet, power plant engineering and construction, 23 environmental affairs, water management, power supply 24 planning, and wholesale electricity and gas operations. 25 GROW, DI 1 Idaho Power Company 1 Q.What is the purpose of your testimony in this 2 matter? 3 A.The purpose of my testimony is to present the 4 Company's requests to modify the Idaho Public Utili ties 5 Commission's ("Commission") implementation of the Public 6 Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 ("PURPA") as it is 7 applied in the state of Idaho and more particularly to 8 Idaho Power. I will provide an overview of the Company's 9 case and summarize the maj or points contained in the 10 testimony of the Company' s witnesses. 11 I . INTRODUCTION 12 Q.What has the Commission stated with regard to 13 the purpose and/or scope of the present proceeding? 14 A.In its order maintaining the 100 kilowatt 15 ("kW") published rate eligibility cap for wind and solar 16 Qualified Facilities ("QF"), Case No. GNR-E-11-01, the 17 Commission stated that it was initiating "additional 18 proceedings to allow the parties to investigate and analyze 19 both the SAR Methodology and the IRP Methodology" and that 20 "we (the Commission) encourage a full examination of the 21 application of the IRP Methodology and are open to 22 considering al ternati ves to the current methodologies." 23 Order No. 32262, pp. 8-9. 2 4 Additionally, in its Notice of Review for this 25 matter, Case No. GNR-E-11-03, the Commission further GROW, DI 2 Idaho Power Company 1 directed that this proceeding investigate and review the 2 methodologies for calculating avoided cost rates for QFs 3 pursuant to PURPA. Order No. 32352. With regard to the 4 investigation and scope of this particular proceeding, the 5 Commission further stated that it, "seeks information 6 regarding the appropriateness of both the SAR and IRP-based 7 avoided cost methodologies. Specifically, the calculation 8 of avoided cost rates, for both published and negotiated 9 contracts, is being re-examined." Id., p. 4. 10 Additionally, "the Commission anticipates that the scope of 11 this inquiry will also include (but is not limited to) 12 considerations regarding the dispatchabili ty of varying 13 resources, curtailment options, integration costs, 14 renewable energy credits, delay security and liquidated 15 damages, timing and schedule of negotiations, and contract 16 milestones." Id. 17 Q. Is this matter also referred to as "Phase III" 18 of the PURPA avoided cost rate proceedings that were 19 initiated in November 2010? 20 A.Yes. This is considered Phase III of those 21 proceedings. 22 Q.Could you summarize Phase I and Phase II of 23 these proceedings? 24 A.Yes. Phase I began when Idaho Power, Avista, 25 and Rocky Mountain Power filed a Joint Petition on November GROW, DI 3 Idaho Power Company 1 5, 2010, in Case No. GNR-E-10-04, requesting the Commission 2 ini tiate an investigation to address various avoided cost 3 issues related to the implementation of PURPA in Idaho. 4 The utili ties were experiencing numerous requests for PURPA 5 contracts from large, utility-scale proj ects that were 6 being disaggregated in order to take advantage of the 7 published rates only available to smaller proj~cts. The 8 utilities requested that the Commission immediately lower 9 the eligibility cap from 10 average megawatts to 100 kW 10 during the investigation. 11 On December 3, 2010, the Commission declined to 12 lower the eligibility cap immediately and set a schedule to 13 process the Joint Petition through Modified Procedure and 14 oral arguments. Order No. 32131. The Commission also 15 directed that if a decision to lower the cap was made, it 16 would be effective as of December 14, 2010. 17 In Order No. 32176, issued on February 7, 2011, the 18 Commission granted part of the request by lowering the 19 eligibility cap for wind and solar projects to 100 kW, but 20 the cap for other resource types remained unchanged. The 21 order also directed the parties to meet within 10 days to 22 establish a schedule for Phase II which would address the 23 disaggregation issue. 24 Commission Order No. 32195 established a schedule 25 for Phase II, in Case No. GNR-E-11-01, which culminated GROW, DI 4 Idaho Power Company 1 with a Technical Hearing the week of May 9, 2011. The 2 Commission also directed the parties to provide information 3 regarding how small wind and solar QFs could continue to 4 have access to published avoided cost rates without 5 allowing large QFs to obtain a rate that does not 6 accurately reflect a utility's avoided cost. In Order No. 7 32262, issued on June 8, 2011, the Commission determined 8 that the published rate eligibility cap for wind and solar 9 QFs would remain at 100 kW, and the Commission would 10 undertake a more detailed examination of the methodologies 11 used to set avoided cost rates. Order No. 32262 also 12 directed the parties to meet to establish an issues list 13 and a schedule for Phase III, which is this present case, 14 GNR-E-11-03. 15 II. CAE STRUCTUR AN WITNSS SUMY 16 Q. Could you please provide an overview of Idaho 17 Power's case and summarize the testimony of the Company's 18 witnesses? 19 A.Yes. The next witness for the Company is M. 20 Mark Stokes, Manager of Power Supply Planning. Mr. Stokes 21 describes the current status of PURPA QF proj ects on Idaho 22 Power's system, as well as the current implementation of 23 both the Surrogate Avoided Resource- ("SAR") and Integrated 24 Resource Plan- ("IRP") based avoided cost methodologies in 25 Idaho. He also addresses issues related to risk and harm GROW, DI 5 Idaho Power Company 1 to Idaho Power customers, contract term, contracting 2 process, and presents the Company's proposal to utilize the 3 IRP-based methodology for establishing the avoided cost for 4 all PURPA QF proj ects, and for both published and 5 negotiated rates. 6 Q.Does the Company present any testimony 7 regarding utility operations? 8 A.Yes.Tessia Park, Load Serving Operations 9 Director, presents testimony regarding utility operations 10 with regard to PURPA QFs and the Company's requirements to 11 reliably serve load. Ms. Park provides testimony regarding 12 the economic dispatch of Idaho Power's resources, and how 13 economic dispatch decisions come in to play when 14 incorporating PURPA QF generation into Idaho Power's 15 system. Ms. Park discusses the requirements of federal 16 regulations, particularly 18 C.F.R. § 292.304, and how they 17 interact with certain light load operational situations on 18 the Company's system. Ms. Park explains and presents the 19 Company's proposed new Tariff Schedule 74 which sets forth 20 an authorized curtailment policy and procedure for PURPA QF 21 generation pursuant to 18 C.F.R. § 292.304(f). 22 Q.Does the Company have any other witnesses? 23 A.Yes. The Company engaged an outside 24 consulting firm, Charles Rivers & Associates, to evaluate 25 Idaho Power's system, the current implementation of PURPA GROW, DI 6 Idaho Power Company 1 QF requirements in the state of Idaho, the current avoided 2 cost methodologies employed by the Commission, and other 3 PURPA related issues relevant to this proceeding. Mr. 4 William Hieronymus from Charles Rivers & Associates 5 discusses the history and origins of PURPA requirements and 6 the implementation of those requirements in various 7 jurisdictions. Mr. Hieronymus also presents various 8 methods that have been utilized across the country to 9 calculate and establish avoided cost rates and prices 10 pursuant to PURPA. He also discusses issues related to the 11 allocation of risk in PURPA QF transactions such as pricing 12 and contract term. Finally, Mr. Hieronymus discusses the 13 avoided cost methodology employed in the state of Idaho and 14 discusses Idaho Power's proposed revisions to the 15 methodology presented in this case. 16 Q.Does Idaho Power propose any changes to the 17 avoided cost methodologies? 18 A.The Company's final witness to provide direct 19 testimony is Karl Bokenkamp, Power Supply's Director of 20 Operations Strategy. He provides testimony setting forth 21 the Company's proposed changes, or modifications, that 22 Idaho Power requests for the implementation of the IRP 23 methodology. 24 25 GROW, DI 7 Idaho Power Company 1 III. CAE SUMY 2 Q.What are Idaho Power's maj or concerns in this 3 case? 4 A.Idaho Power is deeply concerned about the 5 negative economic impact caused by the implementation of 6 PURPA and its requirements, as well as the detrimental 7 effect that the accumulated and continuing addition of 8 PURPA QF generation is having on Idaho Power's system and 9 operations. The economic ramifications are extremely 10 harmful to customers. Idaho Power is very concerned that 11 the avoided cost methodologies approved by the Commission 12 have become disconnected from federal requirements and the 13 definition of avoided cost. This has resulted in an 14 environment that has fostered rapid and uncontrolled 15 development of QF generation proj ects that are causing 16 substantial harm to Idaho Power customers by greatly 17 inflating power supply costs while at the same time 18 degrading the reliability of the system. 19 Idaho Power's main concern is that the Company is 20 obligated to take a very large amount of generation that it 21 does not need and is not valuable to its operations, while 22 at the same time paying more for it than other generation 23 or market purchases that are available to serve load. The 24 Company is also very concerned about the very large and 25 dramatic increase in power supply costs that must be borne GROW, DI 8 Idaho Power Company 1 by customers because of the mandatory QF purchases that 2 cost more than the Company's own generation or al ternati ve 3 purchases. Idaho Power desires that the requirements of 4 PURPA continue to be met, but also wants to ensure that 5 Idaho Power's requirements of providing safe, reliable, and 6 low cost power to its customers is not undermined in doing 7 so. 8 Q.What does Idaho Power see as problems with the 9 current implementation of PURPA? 10 A.Several things: (1) The continuing and 11 unchecked requirement for the Company to acquire QF 12 generation, pursuant to avoided cost rates, with no regard 13 for the Company's need for additional generation on its 14 system, nor the availability of other lower cost resources, 15 and in a manner inconsistent with the federal definition of 16 avoided cost; (2) Circumvention of the Company's required 17 IRP planning process and a continuing requirement to 18 acquire generation outside of that established process that 19 inflates customers' power supply costs; (3) System 20 reliabili ty and other operational issues caused by a rapid 21 and large scale increase in intermittent and unreliable 22 generation sources; and (4) Most importantly, a dramatic 23 increase in the price that Idaho Power's customers must pay 24 for their energy needs as a direct result of the large 25 quanti ties of additional QF generation at prices in excess GROW, DI 9 Idaho Power Company 1 of the Company's avoided cost, and beyond that which would 2 otherwise be considered prudent. 3 These items are discussed in more detail in the 4 direct testimony of Mr. Stokes. 5 Q.How does the large increase in PURPA 6 generation affect Idaho Power's customers? 7 A.Customers pay 100 percent of PURPA power 8 supply costs in the annual Power Cost Adjustment ("PCA"). 9 These costs, while never insignificant, were relatively 10 small and stable from 1982, when the first QF projects were 11 connected to the Company's system, until about 2003. Since 12 2004, PURPA expense has grown dramatically, and customers 13 will see very significant annual rate increases out to 2026 14 based upon the current QF proj ects that are currently 15 generating, and those that have approved power sales 16 agreements to date. As shown in more detail in the 17 testimony of Mr. Stokes, annual PURPA power supply expenses 18 in 2004 were approximately $40 million. It took more than 19 20 years of accumulation of annual PURPA expense to amount 20 to the 2004 one-year magnitude of cost. Just five years 21 later, by 2009, that amount grew by 50 percent to 22 approximately $ 60 million. Just another three years after 23 that, in 2012, that $60 million will double to $120 million 24 of annual PURPA power supply costs. That number increases 25 to $167 million by 2014, and by 2026, will be $186 million GROW, DI 10 Idaho Power Company 1 annually, an approximate 465 percent increase in costs from 2 2004. This will result in dramatic annual rate increases 3 for all of Idaho Power's customers. 4 Q.Please summarize the Company's requested 5 relief in this case. 6 A.The Company has conducted a comprehensive 7 examination of the process by which the Commission 8 implements the requirements of PURPA and PURPA's 9 corresponding Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 10 regulations. Idaho Power's testimony summarizes the 11 current procedures and methodologies that are in place, and 12 requests changes in several areas. The Company 13 demonstrates through testimony how its proposed changes 14 both comply with the federal requirements o~ PURPA, and 15 address severe problems with the current implementation of 16 PURPA. If left unaddressed, the current problems 17 associated with the implementation of PURPA will continue 18 to unnecessarily inflate the power supply costs of its 19 customers and to degrade the reliability of Idaho Power's 20 system. 21 To address the current and potential economic harm 22 to Idaho Power customers as a result of continuing to add 23 large amounts of unneeded generation to its system at a 24 high cost, Idaho Power requests first, that all PURPA QF 25 avoided costs be calculated using an IRP-based avoided cost GROW, DI 11 Idaho Power Company 1 methodology. This is a large step in the right direction 2 to more closely estimate Idaho Power's avoided cost - the 3 incremental cost that the utility would incur, either by 4 generating the power itself or purchasing it from another 5 source, but for the purchase from the QF. This is also a 6 step in the right direction to better ensure that Idaho 7 Power customers remain neutral as to whether the power was 8 purchased from a QF or otherwise acquired by the utility, 9 as is required by federal law. It also starts to bring 10 some aspects of utility need into the determination of 11 avoided cost prices. 12 Second, the Company requests approval and 13 implementation of a standard contracting and negotiation 14 process by which PURPA QFs can obtain a Power Purchase 15 Agreement ("PPA") with Idaho Power in a completely 16 transparent process that provides certainty to both 1 7 parties, better defines the parties' obligations, and 18 addresses issues frequently brought before the Commission 19 in the form of "grandfathering" requests. 20 Third, to mitigate and reduce the risk born entirely 21 by Idaho Power customers associated with long-term power 22 purchase commitments at a fixed price or rate, Idaho Power 23 requests a reduction in the maximum authorized PPA contract 24 term from its present term of 20 years to a maximum of five 25 years. GROW, DI 12 Idaho Power Company 1 To ensure that customers are not harmed by the 2 purchase of power from the QF, and that the Company's lower 3 cost base load resources are being optimized and used to 4 cost-effectively serve customers when available, the 5 Company requests approval of a new Tariff Schedule 74. 6 This Tariff Schedule sets forth the authorized curtailment 7 policy and procedure for PURPA QF generation pursuant to 18 8 C.F.R. §292.304(f). 9 Lastly, the Company seeks certain modifications to 10 the currently approved IRP-based avoided cost pricing 11 methodology in order to better estimate Idaho Power's 12 avoided cost, and to align the methodology with the 13 definition of avoided cost from federal law. This request 14 is essentially a modification to the present implementation 15 of the IRP-based methodology that better aligns the 16 methodology with the definition of avoided cost from 17 federal regulations. 18 Q.You stated earlier that the Commission 19 mentioned renewable energy credits ("RECs") in a list of 20 possible issues in Order No. 32352. Does the Company have 21 a proposal as part of this case regarding RECs? 22 A.Issues related to PURPA QFs and RECs are 23 currently being litigated by the Company before the 24 Commission in Case No. IPC-E-11-15. The Commission has had 25 proceedings in the past regarding issues related to the GROW, DI 13 Idaho Power Company 1 . ownership of RECs between PURPA QFs and the purchasing 2 utility, but the issue of ownership of RECs in the state of 3 Idaho remains an unsettled issue.Idaho Power understands 4 that the Idaho Legislature, which is currently in session, 5 may be considering proposed legislation that would address 6 the ownership of RECs from PURPA QF projects, and thus the 7 Company has no specific request of the Commission in this 8 regard at this time. 9 Q.Please detail the specific approval the 10 Company is requesting from the Commission. 11 A.The Company requests specific Commission 12 approval of the following: 13 1.The use of an IRP-based methodology for 14 establishing avoided cost rates for all PURPA QF proj ects; 15 2.Establishment of a Commission- 16 authorized negotiation process and procedure by which a 17 PURPA QF can obtain a PPA with Idaho Power; 18 3.A reduction in the maximum term for 19 PURPA QF PPAs from 20 years to five years; 20 4.The Company's proposed Tariff Schedule 21 74 setting forth the Company's authorized curtailment 22 policy and procedure for PURPA QF generation pursuant to 18 23 C.F.R. § 292.304(f); and 24 5.The Company's proposed modifications to 25 the previously approved IRP-based avoided cost methodology. GROW, DI 14 Idaho Power Company 1 The Company believes that these determinations can 2 reasonably be made based upon the full and detailed 3 testimony provided by the Company in this case. 4 Q.Is it your opinion that the granting of the 5 requested relief proposed by the Company is in the public 6 interest? 7 A.Yes. The great advantages that Idaho Power 8 customers, its service terri tory, and its region enj oy from 9 consistently having among the very lowest electricity 10 prices in the nation are being eroded by a flood of QF 11 generation that we all are paying too much for. Idaho 12 Power is forced to purchase this power with no regard to 13 whether it is needed on its system, with no regard to 14 whether it is called for in the Company's IRP process, and 15 with no regard to whether there are other lower cost 16 al ternati ves for its customers . Additionally, the Company 17 is forced to deal with the difficult tasks and problems 18 associated with integrating large amounts of intermittent 19 and variable renewable generation into its system, once 20 again with customers paying the resulting price. In most 21 instances, customers do not even get the "benefits" derived 22 from the renewable attributes of that generation in the 23 form of RECs, nor is the Company even able to "claim" or 24 get credit for the existence of that renewable energy on 25 its system. GROW, DI 15 Idaho Power Company 1 In this proceeding we have the unique opportunity to 2 re-examine the appropriateness of the methodologies used to 3 set avoided cost, and to re-examine the way that the state 4 of Idaho implements the federal requirements of PURPA. 5 Idaho Power is deeply affected by these determinations, as 6 are its customers, and has proposed reasoned and rational 7 solutions to both ensure that the requirements of PURPA 8 continue to be met, but also that Idaho Power's 9 requirements of providing safe, reliable, and low cost 10 power to its customers is not undermined in doing so. The 11 Company's proposals are in the public interest, comply with 12 federal requirements, and the Company respectfully asks the 13 Commission to implement the same. 14 Q.Does that conclude your testimony? 15 A.Yes, it does. 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 GROW, DI 16 Idaho Power Company CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE I HEREBY CERTIFY that on the 31st day of January 2012 I served a true and correct copy of the DIRECT TESTIMONY OF LISA A.
