INTRODUCTION AND QUALIFICATIONS
PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME, OCCUPATION, AND BUSINESS
ADDRESS.
My name is Dennis W. Goins.I operate Potomac Management Group, an
economic and management consulting firm.
Westchester Street, Alexandria, Virginia 22310.
My business address is 5801
PLEASE DESCRIBE YOUR EDUCA TIONAL AND PROFESSIONAL
BACKGROUND.
I received a Ph.D. degree in economics and a Master of Economics degree from
North Carolina State University. I also earned a B.A. degree with honors in
economics from Wake Forest University. From 1974 through 1977 I worked as a
staff economist at the North Carolina Utilities Commission. During my tenure at
the Commission, I testified in numerous cases involving electric, gas, and
telephone utilities on such issues as cost of service, rate design, intercorporate
transactions, and load forecasting. While at the Commission, I also served as a
member of the Ratemaking Task Force in the national Electric Utility Rate

Design Study sponsored by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and the
National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC).
Since 1978 I have worked as an economic and management consultant to firms
and organizations in the private and public sectors. My assignments focus
primarily on market structure, planning, pricing, and policy issues involving firms
that operate in energy markets. For example, I have conducted detailed analyses
of product pricing, cost of service, rate design, and interutility planning,
operations, and pricing; prepared analyses related to utility mergers, transmission
access and pricing, and the emergence of competitive markets; evaluated and
developed regulatory incentive mechanisms applicable to utility operations; and
assisted clients in analyzing and negotiating interchange agreements and power
and fuel supply contracts. I have also assisted clients on electric power market
restructuring issues in Arkansas, New Jersey, New York, South Carolina, Texas
and Virginia.
I have submitted testimony and affidavits in more than 100 proceedings before
state and federal agencies as an expert in cost of service, rate design, utility
planning and operating practices, regulatory policy, and competitive market
Issues. These agencies include the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(FERC), the General Accounting Office, the Circuit Court of Kanawha County,
West Virginia, and regulatory agencies in Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois
Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Jersey,
New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Utah
Vermont, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. A listing of my participation in
regulatory and court proceedings is presented in Appendix A.
ON WHOSE BEHALF ARE YOU APPEARING IN THIS PROCEEDING?

I AM APPEARING ON BEHALF OF THE FEDERAL EXECUTIVE
AGENCIES (FEA), WHICH IS COMPRISED OF ALL FEDERAL FACILITIES
SERVED BY IDAHO POWER COMPANY (IPC). TWO OF THE LARGER
FEA FACILITIES ARE THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY'S IDAHO
NATIONAL ENGINEERING AND ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORY
(DOEIINEEL) AND MOUNTAIN HOME AIR FORCE BASE. IPC SERVES
DOE/INEEL UNDER A SPECIAL CONTRACT, AND SERVES THE BULK
OF MOUNTAIN HOME AFB'S LOAD UNDER SCHEDULE 19 LARGE
POWER SERVICE.
WHAT ASSIGNMENT WERE YOU GIVEN WHEN YOU WERE
RETAINED?
I was asked to undertake two primary tasks:
1. Review IPC's proposed cost-of-service analyses (including pro forma
adjustments) and related rates.
2. Identify any major deficiencies in the cost analyses and proposed rates and
suggest recommended changes.
WHAT SPECIFIC INFO RMA TI 0 N DID YOU REVIEW
CONDUCTING YOUR EVALUATION?
I reviewed IPC's application, testimony, exhibits, and responses to requests for
information related to cost of service, revenue spread, and rate design issues.
CONCLUSIONS
WHAT CONCLUSIONS HAVE YOU REACHED?
On the basis of my review and evaluation, I have concluded the following:
1. Cost-of-Service.IPC has proposed increasing base revenues
approximately $85.6 million (17.7 percent). In developing proposed rates
Case No. IPC-O3-
Dennis W. Goins - DOE-
Page 3
for its retail electric services, IPC first conducted a cost-of-service study
for the test year ending December 31 , 2003. In this cost analysis, IPC
allocated and/or directly assigned its costs to functional segments of its
retail electric business. The return component of IPC's costs reflects a
requested 8.334 percent return on its retail jurisdictional rate base (using
an 11.2 percent return on common equity).
In its cost study, IPC classified steam and hydro production costs as
demand- and energy-related costs. IPC set the energy-related component
of these costs equal to the Idaho jurisdictional load factor (55.26 percent),
with the residual (1 - load factor) classified as demand-related costs. IPC
asserted that the Commission has approved this classification scheme in
prior rate cases. IPC classified transmission costs as demand-related costs
and distribution costs as demand- or customer-related costs.
In allocating demand-related production costs to major customer
classes, IPC used a weighted 12-month coincident peak (WI2CP)
methodology. This methodology develops class allocation factors using
the simple average of seasonal allocators derived from two different
costing approaches-a traditional 12CP methodology and a methodology
that weights class monthly coincident peak demands by IPC's estimated
generation-related marginal cost. IPC claims that its marginal generation
cost is positive (non-zero) only in the five months in which its projects
capacity deficits (June, July, August, November, and December). IPC'
estimated marginal generation cost in all other months is zero. As a result
the marginal cost component of IPC's demand-related generation cost
allocation methodology is effectively a weighted 5CP methodology,
1 Maggie Brilz, direct testimony at pages 8-
Case No. IPC-O3-
Dennis W. Goins - DOE-
Page 4
which, as noted earlier, is averaged with unweighted 12CP allocation
factors to derive the class W12CP factors (that is, the DIO factors).
IPC also used a W12CP methodology to allocate demand-related
transmission costs. However, in developing the marginal cost component
of these allocators, IPC's methodology focused on three months-June
July, and August-in which it projects transmission deficits. IPC'
estimated marginal transmission cost was positive only in these three
months and zero in the remaining nine months. IPC set the transmission
cost class allocation factors (DB factors) equal to the simple average of
the unweighted and weighted class coincident demand components.
IPC allocated energy-related costs using allocation factors (E I 0
factors) reflecting monthly energy use by class weighted by IPC'
estimated monthly marginal energy cost.3 Unlike its estimates of marginal
generation and transmission costs, IPC's estimated marginal energy cost is
positive in each month.Finally, IPC allocated demand-related costs
associated with distribution plant on the basis of coincident group peak
demands, while it allocated customer-related distribution plant costs using
average number of customers.
Revenue Spread. IPC spread its proposed revenue increase among rate
classes using the following 4-step sequential approach:
Identify sales revenue increases (or decreases) necessary to match
total revenue from each class with IPC's estimated cost of serving the
class as determined in IPC's class cost-of-service study (COSS).
Set a 25-percent limit on the rate increase to Schedule 24 Irrigation
Service customers instead of the 67.1 percent increase indicated by
2 IPC developed seasonal D I 0 factors (D I OS and D IONS) to facilitate identifying seasonal cost
responsibility .3 IPC also developed seasonal ElO factors (EIOS and ElONS) to facilitate identifying seasonal cost
responsibility.

the COSS.
Hold revenues from the small unmetered classes (Schedules 4, 7 , and
8) at test-year levels under present rates instead of decreasing
revenues as indicated by the COSS results-that is, give no initial
increase to these schedules.
Spread the revenue shortfall caused by the 25-percent cap on
Schedule 24's rate increase across all other schedules (including the
unmetered classes and Special Contracts).
Two undesirable results occur under IPC's proposed revenue spread.
First, the proposed spread perpetuates a $25 million annual subsidy paid to
Irrigation customers by all other customer classes.That is, test-year
revenue from IPC's proposed Irrigation Schedule 24 is slightly more than
$25 million less than IPC's cost (as determined in its COSS) of serving
this class.IPC makes up this shortfall by overcharging all other
customers. These interclass subsidies are unjustified and should be
eliminated-or at a minimum, mitigated by moving rates for each class
much closer to cost of service than IPC has proposed. Second, IPC'
revenue spread moves rates for Residential (Schedule 1) and Small
General Service (Schedule 7) customers farther from cost of service and
dramatically increases the subsidy these classes pay to Irrigation
customers. This outcome is directly related to IPC's decision to set a 25-
percent limit on the rate increase for Schedule 24 Irrigation customers.
Rate Design: Schedule 19. IPC has proposed major changes for Schedule
19 Large Power Service, which is applicable to customers with average
billing demands of I MW or greater. Under IPC's proposal, Schedule 19
4 As I demonstrate later in my testimony, the subsidy to Irrigation customers under present rates is also
about $25 million.
Case No. IPC-O3-

will become a mandatory time-of-use rate with seasonal demand charges
an on-peak demand charge applicable in summer months (June-August),
and energy charges differentiated both seasonally and diurnally. The
proposed rate retains its Basic Charge (at an increased level), and
effective November I , 2004, increases the power factor (going from 85
percent to 90 percent) at which the Power Factor Adjustment is triggered.
RECOMMENDATIONS
WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND ON THE BASIS OF THESE
CONCLUSIONS?
I recommend that the Commission:
Approve IPC's weighted 12CP methodology to allocate demand-related
production and transmission costs, and its weighted energy-related cost
allocation methodology. Although the methodologies are not widely used
they appear to yield reasonable results.
Reject IPC's classification of hydro and steam production plant costs as
demand- and energy-related costs. Instead all hydro and steam
production plant costs should be classified as demand-related costs. IPC'
proposed classification scheme suffers from at least two defects. First, the
scheme arbitrarily assumes that higher load factor customers receive a
disproportionate share of the cheap energy benefits of baseload and
intermediate capacity without paying a proportionate share of the higher
capital costs of such capacity-particularly if demand-related capacity
costs are allocated on the basis of peak demands.Second, the
classification scheme arbitrarily assumes that IPC's system load factor
somehow identifies the portion of generation plant costs that are
Case No. IPC-O3-
Dennis W. Goins - DOE-
Page 7
supposedly energy-related costs.Neither assumption is intuitively
obvious or empirically supported in this case.
Reject IPC's proposed revenue spread. As I noted earlier , under IPC'
proposal, Irrigation customers receive approximately $25 million in
interclass revenue subsidies from other classes (especially Residential
customers). The Commission should require IPC to spread the allowed
revenue increase such that rates for Schedule 24 customers are increased
by twice the average system rate increase. For example, iflPC receives its
requested 17.68-percent increase in base revenues, the Irrigation class
should get a 35.36-percent increase instead of the 25-percent increase that
IPC proposed. The revenue shortfall after accounting for Schedule 24
revenues should be spread using the sequential step approach proposed by
IPC and adopted by me. Details of how to implement this revenue spread
approach are presented later in my testimony.
4. Adopt IPC's proposed Schedule 19 subject to the following condition.
Specifically, the Commission should require IPC to prepare and file
semiannual reports for the first year in which the rate is in effect
concerning the implementation of the new TOU rate. At a minimum
these reports should include not only analyses of how well customers
understand and respond to the new rate, but also detailed customer billing
analyses that would enable the Commission to evaluate whether the rate is
creating unanticipated and unacceptable hardship on some customers.
COST OF SERVICE
DID IPC ESTIMATE ITS COST OF SERVING DIFFERENT CUSTOMER
CLASSES?
Case No. IPC-O3-
Dennis W. Goins - DOE-
Page 8
YES. IPC CONDUCTED A DETAILED COST-OF-SERVICE STUDY USING
DATA (ADJUSTED IN MANY CASES) FOR THE TEST YEAR ENDING
DECEMBER 31 , 2003. IN THIS COST ANALYSIS, IPC CLASSIFIED AND
THEN ALLOCATED AND/OR DIRECTL Y ASSIGNED ITS COSTS TO
FUNCTIONAL SEGMENTS OF ITS RETAIL ELECTRIC BUSINESS. THE
RETURN COMPONENT OF IPC'S COSTS REFLECTS A REQUESTED 8.334
PERCENT RETURN ON ITS IDAHO RETAIL JURISDICTIONAL RATE
BASE (USING AN 11.2 PERCENT RETURN ON COMMON EQUITY).
DID IPC FOLLOW REASONABLE GUIDELINES IN CONDUCTING ITS
COST STUDY?
Yes. The cost study basically follows guidelines set in the NARUC Electric
Utility Cost Allocation Manual.
WHY IS THE REASONABLENESS OF A COST-OF-SERVICE
METHODOLOGY IMPORTANT?
Cost of service identifies and assigns cost responsibility to customer classes.
Specific rates can then be developed to recover each class' cost-based revenue
requirement, resulting in prices that recover the utility's cost of service in an
equitable and efficient manner. If the cost-of-service methodology does not
allocate and assign cost responsibility in a reasonable manner, then interclass
revenue subsidies are created and specific class rates are either over- or under-
priced-thereby causing customers to make inefficient electricity investment and
consumption decisions.
IPC has employed a reasonable cost-of-service methodology in this case
allocate and assign its costs to customer classes. However, as I discuss in more
detail later, IPC deviated from the results of its cost study in assigning its
Case No. IPC-O3-
Dennis W. Goins - DOE-
Page 9
simple average of the unweighted and weighted class coincident demand
components.
IS IPC'S WEIGHTED 12CP METHODOLOGY REASONABLE?
Yes. Although the methodology is not widely used, it appears to yield reasonable
results. For example, I compared allocation factors derived under the W12CP
methodology with allocation factors derived using three other methodologies-a
weighted 5CP methodology (using coincident peak demands only in IPC's five
capacity deficit months), an unweighted 12CP methodology, and an unweighted
5CP methodology. As shown in Exhibit DWG-, class allocation factors under
the W12CP are reasonably similar to allocation factors under the W5CP, 12CP
and 5CP methodologies for all classes except the Irrigation class.
SHOULD THE COMMISSION ADOPT IPC'S W12CP ALLOCATION
METHODOLOGY?
Yes.
HOW DID IPC ALLOCATE ITS ENERGY-RELATED COSTS?
IPC used allocation factors (EIO factors) based on class monthly energy use
weighted by IPC's estimated monthly marginal energy cost to allocate its energy-
related costs.6 Unlike its estimates of marginal generation and transmission costs
IPC's estimated marginal energy cost is positive in each month.
IS THIS ALLOCATION METHODOLOGY CONSISTENT WITH THE
W12CP METHODOLOGY IPC USED TO ALLOCATE DEMAND-
RELATED PRODUCTION AND TRANSMISSION COSTS?
Yes. Both methodologies weight selected customer usage measures (peak
demands and energy consumption) by relevant marginal costs. This approach
reflects a reasonable attempt to introduce a dynamic costing element to IPC'
6 As I noted earlier, IPC developed seasonal EIO factors (ElOS and ElONS) to facilitate identifying
seasonal cost responsibility.
Case No. IPC-O3-

Page 11
analysis of historical embedded costs. I recommend that the Commission approve
IPC's proposed energy cost allocation methodology.
HOW DID IPC CLASSIFY ITS HYDRO AND STEAM PRODUCTION
PLANT COSTS?
In its cost study, IPC classified hydro and steam production costs as demand- and
energy-related costs. IPC set the energy-related component of these costs equal
to the Idaho jurisdictional load factor (55.26 percent), with the residual (1 - load
factor) classified as demand-related costs.
WHY DID IPC CHOOSE THIS CLASSIFICATION SCHEME?
IPC asserted that the Commission has approved this classification scheme in prior
rate cases.
DO YOU AGREE WITH IPC'S CLASSIFICATION OF HYDRO AND
STEAM PRODUCTION PLANT COSTS?
No. IPC's classification scheme rests on questionable assumptions, the validity
of which is neither intuitively obvious nor empirically demonstrated in this case.
Proponents of classifying production plant costs as energy-related costs typically
rely on two key-but arbitrary-assumptions:
I. Higher load factor customers receive a disproportionate share of the
cheaper energy benefits of baseload and intermediate capacity without
paying a proportionate share of the higher capital costs of such capacity-
particularly if demand-related capacity costs are allocated on the basis of
peak demands.
IPC's system load factor somehow identifies the portion of generation
plant costs that are supposedly energy-related costs.
Regarding the first assumption, baseload and intermediate plants are planned
7 For example, see Idaho Public Utilities Commission, Case No. IPC-94-, Order No. 25880 at page 26.
Case No. IPC-O3-
Dennis W. Goins - DOE-
Page 12
and designed to operate during more than peak demand periods, and higher load
factor customers use energy from such plants in non-peak periods. However
whether higher load factor customers benefit disproportionately from cheaper
baseload and intermediate plant energy is an empirical question that IPC has not
addressed in this case. Moreover, in addressing this question, the method used to
allocate energy-related costs must be considered. For example, if production
plant costs are classified as energy-related costs and all energy costs are allocated
on the basis of average energy use, then low load factor customers will likely
receive the benefits of cheaper baseload and intermediate energy without paying a
fair share of the capital costs for these plants.
Regarding the second assumption, using IPC's system load factor to identify
the portion of production plant costs to classify as energy-related costs is totally
arbitrary. For example, in IPC's last general rate case, the system load factor
used to classify these costs was 67.57 percent 8 versus a system load factor of
55.26 percent in this case. System load factor is an indicator of the relative use of
supply resources (production plant) over time, and does not provide an economic
or engineering rationale for classifying production plant costs.
IF THE COMMISSION REJECTS YOUR RECOMMENDATION, HOW
SHOULD THE ENERGY-RELATED COMPONENT OF PRODUCTION
PLANT COSTS BE IDENTIFIED?
Let me reiterate-in my opinion, all production plant costs should be classified as
demand-related costs.9 Nonetheless, if part of IPC's production plant costs is
classified as energy-related costs, I recommend setting the percentage of such
plant costs classified as energy-related costs equal to the ratio of IPC's weighted
energy allocators in non-capacity deficit months-that , all months other than
8 Idaho Public Utilities Commission, Case No. IPC-94-, Order No. 25880 at page 26.9 However, I have not conducted an empirical analysis to determine whether higher load factor customers
benefit disproportionately from the cheaper energy of base load and intermediate capacity.
Case No. IPC-O3-

Page 13
June, July, August, November, and December-to the weighted 12-month
allocator. This approach provides at least some intuitive linkage between the
energy cost of production plant and high load factor energy use.
WHAT IS THE RESULT OF USING THIS APPROACH?
Under this approach, 49.82 percent of IPC's hydro and steam production plant
costs would be classified as energy-related costs. This percentage is derived as
follows:
In IPC's Exhibit No. 40, page 5 , sum the weighted retail jurisdiction
energy factors for the seven non-capacity deficit months-that is, all
months other than June, July, August, November, and December.
This value is 223 894 387.
Divide 223 894 387 by 449,420 534-the sum of weighted retail
jurisdiction energy use for all 12 months. The resulting value is 49.
percent.
REVENUE SPREAD
WHAT ARE INTERCLASS REVENUE SUBSIDIES?
Interclass subsidies reflect the amount by which revenue from a customer class
exceeds or falls short of the class ' cost responsibility, which is determined in
IPC's class cost-of-service study. In general, a class receives (pays) an interclass
subsidy if its rate revenue is less than (greater than) its assigned cost of service at
the system average rate of return. The existence of large class rate of return
differentials often indicates the presence of large interclass revenue subsidies.
ARE RATE OF RETURN DIFFERENTIALS AND INTERCLASS
REVENUE SUBSIDIES SIGNIFICANT UNDER PRESENT RATES?
Yes. Present rates for all classes except Irrigation customers are around $25
Case No. IPC-O3-
Dennis W. Goins - DOE-
Page 14
million above cost of service. (See Table 1 below and Exhibit DWG-, page 1.)
The rate of return (ROR) indexes for these above-cost classes range from 101 to
1,404. In contrast, rates for the Irrigation class (ROR index of minus 12) are
more than $25 million higher than IPC's cost of service. Around 27 percent of
the subsidy to Irrigation customers is currently paid by Residential customers.
Since IPC's present rates have been in effect for about 10 years, a reasonable
assumption is that the subsidy . paid to Irrigation customers in that period may
exceed $250 million.

Q. How did IPC spread the proposed revenue increase among customer classes?
IPC used a 4-step sequential approach to spread its proposed $85.6 million
revenue increase (17.7 percent) among rate classes. More specifically, IPC:
1. Identified sales revenue increases (or decreases) that were necessary to
match class revenues and cost of service as determined in IPC's class
COSS. (See Exhibit DWG-, page 2, and IPC Exhibit No. 61 , page 2.
2. Set a 25-percent limit on the rate increase to Schedule 24 Irrigation
Service customers instead of the 67.1 percent increase indicated by the
COSS. (See Exhibit DWG-, page 3, and IPC Exhibit No. 61 , page 3.
3. Held revenues from the small unmetered classes (Schedules 4, 7, and 8) at
test-year levels under present rates instead of decreasing revenues as
indicated by the COSS results-that is, IPC gave give no initial increase
to these schedules. (See Exhibit DWG-, page 3 , and IPC Exhibit No. 61
page 3.
4. Spread the revenue shortfall caused by the 25-percent cap on the increase
to Schedule 24 across all other schedules (including the unmetered classes
and Special Contracts). (See Exhibit DWG-, page 4, and IPC Exhibit
No. 61 , page 4.
DOES THIS INTERCLASS SUBSIDY SITUATION IMPROVE UNDER
IPC'S PROPOSED REVENUE SPREAD?
No. IPC's proposed revenue spread perpetuates the $25 million annual subsidy
currently paid to Irrigation customers by all other customer classes. That is
revenue under IPC's proposed Irrigation Schedule 24 is slightly more than $25
million less than IPC's cost of serving this class (as determined in its COSS). IPC
makes up this shortfall by overcharging all other customers. These interclass
Case No. IPC-O3-

Page 16
subsidies are unjustified and should be eliminated-or at a minimum, mitigated
by moving rates for each class much closer to cost of service than IPC has
proposed. In addition, IPC's revenue spread moves rates for Residential
(Schedule 1) and Small General Service (Schedule 7) customers farther from cost
of service and dramatically increases the subsidy these classes pay to Irrigation
customers. (See Table 2 below and Exhibit DWG-, page 4.) For example, the
subsidy that Residential customers pay under present rates increases from $6.
million to $12.1 million under IPC's proposed rates. This outcome is directly
related to IPC's decision to set a 25-percent limit on the rate increase for Schedule
24 Irrigation customers.

DOES YOUR RECOMMENDED REVENUE SPREAD ELIMINATE
INTERCLASS SUBSIDIES?
No. My recommended revenue spread only reduces the subsidies by about 25
percent. As shown in Table 3 above, Irrigation customers would still receive a
subsidy of more than $19 million. Under my proposed spread, Residential
customers would pay a subsidy of about $8.9 million, compared to $12.1 million

under IPC' s proposal.
IF THE COMMISSION ALLOWS LESS THAN IPC'S REQUESTED
SALES REVENUE INCREASE, HOW SHOULD THE APPROVED
INCREASE BE SPREAD?
If IPC's retail base revenue increase is below 17.68 percent, I recommend using
the same 4-step sequential approach that I used to develop the FEA revenue
spread shown in Exhibit DWG-
RATE DESIGN: SCHEDULE 19
HAS IPC PROPOSED A MAJOR REDESIGN OF SCHEDULE 19?
Yes. IPC has proposed major changes for Schedule 19 Large Power Service
which is applicable to customers with average billing demands of 1 MW or
greater. Under IPC's proposal, Schedule 19 will become a mandatory time-of-use
rate with seasonal demand charges, an on-peak demand charge applicable in
summer months (June-August), and energy charges differentiated both seasonally
and diurnally. The proposed rate retains its Basic Charge (at an increased level),
and, effective November 1 , 2004, increases the power factor (going from 85
percent to 90 percent) at which the Power Factor Adjustment is triggered.
DO YOU HAVE ANY MAJOR CONCERN WITH THE PROPOSAL TO
MAKE SCHEDULE 19 A TIME-OF-USE RATE?
Yes. While I do not object to the manner in which IPC designed the rate, I am
concerned about the law of unintended consequences. IPC claims that the new
rate design is revenue neutral.lO However, if IPC's large commercial and
industrial customers are not prepared to operate cost-effectively under the new
rate, they may incur unexpected and unacceptably high bills for their energy use.
In other words, customers will likely have to move up a learning curve to ensure
10 See IPC's response to Industrial Customers data request 1.2.
Case No. IPC-03-
Dennis W. Goins - DOE-
Page 20
that they manage their electricity-intensive operations cost-effectively under the
new rate. In my opinion, both IPC and the Commission should closely monitor
how energy costs and consumption are affected by the new Schedule 19.
SHOULD THE COMMISSION APPROVE IPC'S RECOMMENDED
SCHEDULE 19?
Yes. The Commission should adopt IPC's proposed Schedule 19 subject to the
following condition. Specifically, the Commission should require IPC to prepare
and file semiannual reports for the first year in which the rate is in effect
concerning the implementation of the new TOU rate. At a minimum, these
reports should include not only analyses of how well customers understand and
respond to the new rate, but also detailed customer billing analyses that would
enable the Commission to evaluate whether the rate is creating unanticipated and
unacceptable hardship on some customers.
DOES THIS COMPLETE YOUR DIRECT TESTIMONY?
Yes.
