Re:Case No. IPC-04-
Simplot Electric Service Agreement Supplemental Filing
Dear Ms. Jewell:
On September 2 in Order No. 29576 issued in Case No. IPC-04-, the Idaho
Public Utilities Commission (IPUC) approved an Agreement for Electric Service between
Idaho Power and the J. R. Simplot Company (Simplot) dated June 29 2004 (the 2004
Agreement). The 2004 Agreement replaces the Electric Service Agreement between the
companies that had been in effect since 1973 (the 1973 Agreement).
Pursuant to Commission Order No. 29535, dated June 28 , 2004, the termination date
of the 1973 Agreement was the earlier of either August 29 , 2004 or the date on which the
Commission approved a new service agreement between the parties.
Order No. 29576 approved the 2004 Agreement effective on September 2 , 2004. As
a result, it was necessary for the parties to agree on the rate to be applicable from August
, 2004 until September 2, 2004.
Based upon discussions between the two companies , we have agreed that the 1973
Agreement should be extended through September 1 2004 and the rates, terms and
conditions of the 2004 Agreement should be effective beginning September 2 2004.
The following is a supplemental filing (letter agreement) that memorializes the short-
term agreement between Idaho Power and Simplot. Idaho Power is hereby filing this
agreement with the Commission and requesting approval by minute entry rather than by
means of a formal application. If a formal application is desired by the Commission, Idaho
Power will do so.
Cordially,
~ J!!t(
