BEFORE THE IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION )OF IDAHO POWER COMPANY TO )CASE NO.IPC-E-01-fdAMENDSCHEDULE86--)COGENERATION AND SMALL POWER )PRODUCTION --NON-FIRM ENERGY.)APPLICATION
COMES NOW,IDAHO POWER COMPANY ("Idaho Power"or the
"Company"),and in accordance with RP 52 hereby applies for a Commission order
approvingamendments to the Company'sexistingrate Schedule 86 --Coqeneration
and Small Power Production -Non-Firm Enerqy.This Application is based on the
following:
I.
BACKGROUND
On January 22,1997,the Commission issued Order No.26750 approving
the current Schedule 86.On May 3,1999 the Commission issued Order No.28033
approving the current methodologyfor computing the purchase price,or Avoided
APPLICATION,Page 1
Energy Cost,for non-firm purchases under Schedule 86.The Purchase Price section of
Schedule 86 currently provides two options under which Qualifying Facilities can sell
non-firm energy to the Company.Under the first option,Option A,the purchase price is
an amount equal to the monthlyweightedaverage cost per kilowatt hour of the daily on-
peak and off-peak Dow Jones Mid-Columbia Electricity Price Index prices for non-firm
energy published in the Wall Street Journal ("Mid-C Index")minus $0.004 per kilowatt
hour.The second option,Option B,provides what has come to be known as a "Net
Metering"option.In an Application filed concurrently with this Application,Idaho Power
has requested that the Commission approve a new Schedule 84 --Net Meterinq,which
would take the place of OptionB under this Schedule 86.The rationale for deleting
Option B in Schedule 86 and substitutingSchedule 84 is discussed in greater detail in
the Company's Application for approvalof Schedule 84.Idaho Power requests that the
Commission take administrative notice of the Company'sApplication for approvalof
Schedule 84 in considering the changes to Schedule 86 proposed in Attachment 1.
II.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED CHANGES
In addition to removing the OptionB portion of the Purchase Price section
of Schedule 86 as described above,Idaho Power is requesting that the Commission
make two other changes to Schedule 86.The first change is to limit the applicability of
Schedule 86 to Qualifying Facilities with nameplateratings less than one megawatt.
This change will bring Schedule 86 into conformity with the Commission's current policy
concerning Qualifying Facility purchase arrangements.For the past several years,the
Commission has followed a policy that acknowledgesthe practical differences between
APPLICATION,Page 2
larger and smaller Qualifying Facilities.For example,Qualifying Facilities smaller than
one megawattare entitled to Commission established published rates,but Qualifying
Facilities larger than one megawattare required to negotiate contracts with Idaho Power
and to negotiateappropriate power purchase prices as a part of that contracting
process.Limiting Schedule 86 to QF's smaller than one megawattas proposed by the
Company would bring Schedule 86 into compliance with the Commission policy
previously described.
Second,the proposed Schedule 86 would set the purchase price at an
amount equal to eighty-five percent (85%)of the monthlyweightedaverage Mid-C
Index,consistent with several purchase and sales agreementsthe Company has
recently entered into with various sellers.By establishingthe purchase price as a
percentage discount from the Mid-C Index,Idaho Power's customers can be confident
that non-firm energy Idaho Power is obligated to purchase under Schedule 86 can be
resold in the wholesale market at a price that will recover Idaho Power's purchase cost
plus transmission costs.Conversely,when Idaho Power desires to retain the non-firm
energy delivered by a seller under Schedule 86,Idaho Power can be assured that the
purchase price will be at least as beneficial as a wholesale non-firm market purchase.

TARIFFS
Attached to this Application as Attachment 1 are revised Sheet Nos.86-1
through 86-5.Also included in Attachment 1 are the proposed tariff sheets in legislative

PROCEDURE
Concurrent with the filing of this Application,Idaho Power has filed an
Application asking the Commission to approve new rate Schedule 84 --Net Meterinq.
In addition,Idaho Power has also filed an Applicationasking the Commission to
approve certain amendments to Schedule 72 --Interconnection to Non-Utility
Generation.Schedule 72 is the Company'sservice schedule which provides for
interconnection to non-utility generation.Because these three Applicationsare so
interrelated,Idaho Power believes that it would be appropriate for the Commission to
consolidate its consideration of these three Applications.Idaho Power also believes
that these three Applicationsare good candidates for consideration by the Commission
under modified procedure.
WHEREFORE,Idaho Power respectfully requests that the Commission
issue its Order amendingSchedule 86 as proposed by the Company in Attachment 1.
