DESCRIPTION OF FACILITY
The seller s Facility is described as one (1) hydro driven synchronous
generator wi th a namepl ate rati ng of 200-KW, 2400-vol t, three-phase, 60
hertz.
LOCATION OF FACILITY
The Faci 1 i ty is located on warm creek (north of Twi n
the NW 1/4 of secti on 19, Townshi p 9 South, Range 17
Meri di an, Jerome county, Idaho.
Fall s, Idaho) i

POINT OF DELIVERY
Energy will be delivered to Idaho power at 12.47-, three-phase, 60-Hz.
The point of Delivery of energy from the seller to Idaho power will be at
Idaho power s pol e-mounted di sconnect swi tch (Di sconnect Devi ce) located
between the Idaho Power provided primary meter and the seller provided 15-
kv rated pole-mounted recloser.
Esti mated Fi rst Enerqy Date
Idaho power and the sell er have agreed upon an Estimated Fi rst Energy
Date as of May 1 , 2003. Both Idaho power and the Seller will have all
necessary equi pment in pl ace no 1 ater then 60 days after the esti mated
First Energy Date to enable the Facility to deliver energy to the Idaho
power system.

The demand component of the stati on use shall not exceed 30 Kw and the
annual station usage (Kwh) shall not exceed 5% of the energy delivered
by this Facility to the point of delivery.
LOSSES
AS the cu r rent poi nt of Deli ve ry is the same poi nt as the actual mete ri ng
poi nt, there are no Kwh losses. In the event, the actual meteri ng poi nt
is electrically located at a different point then the point of Delivery,
kwh losses will be calculated in the following manner: Losses shall be set
at 2.00% of the metered energy delivered. when seller has supplied Idaho
power wi th data needed to properly analyze the Losses associ ated wi th the
Facility, Idaho power and seller will review that data and reset the loss
factor for the Facility. If the parties are unable to agree, they will
submit the dispute to the Commission for resolution. Any adjustment will
be retroacti ve to the Fi rst Energy Date.
