DATE: JULY 22, 2002
RE: IDAHO POWER’S REVISION OF ITS ELECTRIC LOAD MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES FOR CURTAILMENT AND INTERRUPTION OF ELECTRICAL SERVICE (RULE J), CASE NO. IPC-E-01-20
On July 11, 2002, Idaho Power filed “housekeeping revisions” to its Rule J procedures. Rule J contains the Company’s load management procedures for the continuity, curtailment and interruption of electrical service. The Company’s updated revisions remove references to curtailing load previously assigned to Astaris in an extreme emergency. As the Commission is aware, Astaris’ former load of 120 MW has been reduced to Schedule 19 levels, i.e., 3-5 MW.
Other revisions made by Idaho Power simply update references to other entities cited in Rule J. For example, references to the old Western Systems Coordinating Council (WSCC) have been changed to the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Given the nature of the Company’s revisions to Rule J, Staff recommends that the Commission accept the revisions to Rule J.
COMMISSION DECISION
Does the Commission wish to accept the revisions to Idaho Power’s load management procedures for continuity, curtailment and interruption of electrical service (Rule J) dated June 2, 2002?
