BEFORE THE IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
IN THE MATTER OF THE
APPLICATION OF IDAHO POWER
COMPANY FOR AUTHORITY TO
IMPLEMENT AN IRRIGATION PEAK
CLIPPING PROGRAM
APPLICATION
CASE NO. IPC-O4-
On February 5, 2004, Idaho Power Company ("Idaho Power" or "the
Company ) filed an Application with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission ("PUC" or the
Commission ) requesting authorization to institute the Irrigation Peak Clipping Pilot
Program ("Pilot Program
).
On April 2 , 2004 , the Commission issued Order No. 29462
granting the Company s request (reference Case No. IPC-04-3). Under the
provisions of the optional , voluntary Pilot Program , agricultural irrigation Customers in
selected areas within the Company s service territory permitted the Company to turn off
the power to specified irrigation equipment between the hours of 4:00 P.M. and 8:00
M. on either one , two or three days per week during the months of June, July and
APPLICATION , Page
August in order to reduce the Company s system summer peak. The Pilot Program
expired on October 1 , 2004. However, based on the success of the Pilot Program and
on the selected portfolio in the Company s most recent Integrated Resource Plan
I RP"
) ,
Idaho Power herewith applies to the Commission for authority to implement
throughout its service territory the Irrigation Peak Clipping Program (the "Program ) by
modifying Tariff Schedule 23 ("Tariff" or "Schedule 23"). In support of the Application
Idaho Power submits the following:
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the proposed Program is to turn off power to selected
irrigation pumps during peak weekday hours ("Interruption ) in the summer months in
order to produce a decrease in the Company s system summer peak. The proposed
Program would be an optional , supplemental service that would permit the Company
irrigation Customers to allow the Company to turn off the power to all specified irrigation
equipment behind a Customer s metered service point ("Metered Service Point") on a
regular basis with the use of an electric switch ("Timer ). In exchange for allowing the
Company to turn off power to the specified irrigation equipment, participating Customers
would receive a monthly monetary incentive ("Demand Credit") paid on the basis of the
kilowatt ("kW") reduction as measured by the Customer s monthly Billing Demand.
The Company would like to begin enrolling Customers into the Program in
early 2005 in order to meet Program capacity targets for the 2005 irrigation season.
Idaho Power is making this tariff filing with the Commission because the method under
APPLICATION , Page 2
which the Company presently provides electrical service would change for those
irrigation Customers participating in the Program.
The 2004 RP identified the rrigation Peak Clipping Program as a cost-
effective capacity resource and included the Program in its final diversified resource
portfolio. The RP expects that the Program will provide approximately 30 MW of
capacity during the summer peak. The irrigation summer load is a major portion of the
Company s summer peak demand and , as a result, this Program has been identified to
provide load reduction during that critical period.
The Company plans to operate the Program during the calendar months
of June, July, and August. The Customers targeted for participation in the Program are
those who determine they can have power turned off to specified irrigation equipment
for four hours per day for periods of one, two or three times per week without impacting
crop yield, the choice of crop planted or the design of the irrigation system. Idaho
Power has taken the hot , dry climate of the Company s service territory into
consideration in the design of the Program by limiting the number of hours of
interruption per weekday and limiting the number of weekly Interruptions to three.
Based on input received from various Customers , four hours of interruption per week
appears to be a reasonable amount of interruption that can be accommodated without
necessitating a change in the type of crop planted , altering the crop yield or requiring a
redesign of the irrigation system. Some Customers have determined that due to their
existing system configuration and/or crop type , they are able to accommodate two or up
to three service interruptions per week.
APPLICATION , Page 3
In proposing the Program , the Company does not wish to create an
incentive for irrigators to oversize their systems in order to better manage a multi-hour
load reduction. Over-sizing irrigation systems to compensate for the reduction of water
applied during the load reduction period would result in a higher peak demand on the
irrigator s system during all other periods and would negate the benefits of the Program.
II.
PILOT PROGRAM FINDINGS
The Company successfully operated the Irrigation Peak Clipping Pilot
Program over the months of June , July and August during the 2004 irrigation season.
The Pilot Program provided valuable information that contributed to the design of the
proposed Program.
The Company will provide a detailed report of the Pilot Program findings
as specified in Order No. 29462. The report will include a Pilot Program evaluation of
the load reduction impacts of the Pilot Program , the results of a participant survey, and
a cost-effectiveness analysis of the proposed Program based upon Pilot Program
results. The Company plans to provide the final Pilot Program report to the Commission
by December 1 , 2005.
The Company contracted with Summit Blue Consulting, LLC (Summit
Blue) to evaluate the potential load reduction impacts associated with the operation of
the Pilot Program. The evaluation showed that the Interruptions resulted in observable
load reduction impacts over the three-month summer period. Furthermore , the
evaluation provided the Company with an estimate of the average percentage of the
Customer s monthly Billing Demand that can be quantified as a reduction in system load
APPLICATION , Page 4
in the form of a "Realization Rate." The evaluation also confirmed the Company
original assumption that under its proposed design, the Program does not result in a net
effect on energy consumption for participating Customers. The Summit Blue evaluation
served as the basis for the cost-effectiveness analysis and ultimately the overall
program design.
The Realization Rate developed by Summit Blue is simply the percentage
of the participant's monthly non-coincident peak demand , as measure by the
Customer s monthly Billing Demand that can be expected or "realized" during an
Interruption event. Summit Blue provided Realization Rates segmented into two-week
increments for the months of June , July and August. They also provided average
Realization Rates for the entire three-month period segmented by region. Summit Blue
also calculated a single, average Realization Rate for the Pilot Program participants as
a whole.
The Realization Rate discounts the Customer s non-coincident peak
demand to account for free riders, weather, and other behavioral factors that may affect
the Customer s monthly load factor. The Realization Rate provides a quantifiable way to
predict the load reduction impact of an average Customer and ultimately the Program
as a whole. The overall Realization Rate experienced for the Pilot Program was
approximately 50 percent , compared to the 80 percent factor that was assumed in the
design of the Pilot Program. As a result, the actual load reduction provided per
Customer was less than expected. For example , a Customer with a monthly Billing
Demand of 100 kW was assumed to provide 80 kW of load reduction during the Pilot
APPLICATION , Page 5
Program. Based on the results of the Pilot Program , 50 kW is the actual load reduction
that can be expected for a Customer with a monthly Billing Demand of 100 kW.
The results of the Pilot Program were used to determine the daily load reduction
which can reasonably be expected to result from the Program. The expected daily load
reduction was calculated using a four-step process that assumes the average Billing
Demand per Customer to be approximately 175 kW and an annual Program
participation level of 1 ,100 total Customers. First, the 1 100 Customers were segmented
into each of the four regions included in the Pilot Program which are classified as
Eastern, Southern , Central and Western according to the following Pilot Program
participant distribution:
Easte rn 350
Southern 35 %
Central 150
Western 150
Next, a weighted average Billing Demand was calculated based on the distribution of
Customers within each weekly Interruption option. The Pilot Program findings identified
the following distribution:
Option 1 (one interruption per week)700
Option 2 (two interruptions per week)200
Option 3 (three interruptions per week)1 00
The weighted average Billing Demand was then multiplied by the Realization Rate
associ~ted with each region to produce a net realizable kW reduction by region. Finally,
the net realizable kW reduction by region was multiplied by the number of expected
APPLICATION , Page 6
participants by region. The regional kW amounts were then summed and multiplied by
1/5 to get the total expected daily load reduction of the Program. This calculation
yielded an expected seasonal load reduction of 26,600 kW at the meter level and
058 kW after accounting for peak line losses of 13 percent.
III.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Irrigation Peak Clipping Program would be a voluntary program for
irrigation Customers that would enable Idaho Power Company to directly address
summer peaking requirements by reducing some of the irrigation load which contributes
to Idaho Power s summer peak. The Company would install a Timer or Timers on the
Customer s electrical panel(s) in order to turn off service to all irrigation pumps at that
Metered Service Point. The Company would program the Timers to interrupt electrical
service to the irrigation pump(s) on one , two or three regularly scheduled weekdays per
week for a four-hour period between 4 P.M. and 8 P.M. These are the hours in which
the daily summer peak demand normally occurs. The load reduction provided by each
participant will be deemed to equal the Billing Demand for the enrolled Metered Service
Point for the applicable billing period.
Participants would receive a Demand Credit for each month they
successfully participate in the Program. The monthly Demand Credit would be
calculated by multiplying the monthly Billing Demand for the Metered Service Point that
is enrolled in the Program by the per kW Demand Credit according to the following
schedule:
APPLICATION , Page 7
tion Demand Credit
1. One weekday, 4:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.$2.01 per kW of Demand
2. Two weekdays, 4:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.$2.51 per kW of Demand
3. Three weekdays, 4:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.$2.76 per kW of Demand
The Incentive may be prorated for the months of June, July and August depending on
the irrigation Customer s billing cycle.
Based on a survey of Pilot Program participants , the Demand Credit was
identified as being the most important component influencing participation. The
Demand Credit amounts proposed under each of the three options for the Program are
greater than those in place for the Pilot Program. In addition to the flat monetary
increase in the Demand Credits for each option , the differential in the Demand Credits
between options has been increased from the Pilot Program level. The increase in the
Demand Credit differential between options was designed to provide a greater
incentive for Customers to select the multiple day interruption options. The proposed
Demand Credit amount still increases at a decreasing rate between options as in the
Pilot Program in order to discourage a decreased crop yield or the over-sizing of
irrigation equipment. This proposed Demand Credit schedule was also developed to
maintain cost-effectiveness for the Program.
Service under the proposed Schedule 23 would be available on an
optional basis to the Company s irrigation Customers with a Metered Service Point or
Points receiving service under Idaho Power s Schedule 24 where the Metered Service
Point serves a water pumping or water delivery system used to irrigate agricultural
crops or pasturage. If a Metered Service Point provides electricity to more than one
irrigation pump, each pump will be scheduled for interruption on the same weekday
APPLICATION , Page 8
cycle. The Company would retain the sole right to select the load reduction Schedule
for each Metered Service Point. Metered Service Points eligible for this Program must
provide electric service to irrigation pumps with at least 100 cumulative horsepower.
The Company will make this optional service available to all Idaho
Customers taking service under Schedule 24 within the Company s interconnected
system. Each eligible Customer who chooses to participate in this optional Program
would be required to enter into an annual Uniform Irrigation Peak Clipping Service
Application / Agreement ("Agreement") with the Company prior to being accepted into
this Program. By entering into the Agreement, the Customer would agree, with prior
notice , to grant the Company or its representative permission to enter the Customer
property to install a Timer or Timers on the electrical panel servicing the irrigation
equipment that is associated with the Metered Service Point that is enrolled in the
Program. The Customer must also allow Idaho Power or its representative reasonable
access to the Timer following its installation.
Idaho Power would send potential participants an Agreement and a
worksheet listing a Customer s eligible Metered Service Points. Customers interested in
the Program would sign and return an Agreement specifying the Metered Service
Point(s) to be enrolled in the Program. Customer participation would be at the
Company s sole discretion.
If a Customer is selected for participation in the Program , the Company
will return a signed Agreement to the Customer specifying which Metered Service
Point(s) are accepted into the Program.

Accounting
The annual cost of the Program as currently designed will be approximately
540 000. Program costs are expected to be incurred according to the following
percentages:
Administration and Promotion
Capital Equipment and Installation 31 %
ncentives Paid to Customers 620
The rrigation Peak Clipping Program was reviewed with the Energy Efficiency Advisory
Group (EEAG) at its October 20 meeting. In general, the EEAG supported the
implementation of the Program. The Company intends to use Energy Efficiency Rider
funds, collected under Idaho Power Schedule 91 , to finance this Program.
Cost-Effectiveness Analysis
The Company conducted an analysis of the cost-effectiveness of the Program
based on the Pilot Program findings. The analysis yielded a benefit-cost ratio of 1.
for the first year of operation and a ratio of 1.39 over a 30-year operation period. These
ratios were calculated using the Utility Cost Test perspective. According to these ratios
the Program benefits are expected to exceed program costs in all years of operation.
The Program benefit in this analysis was based on the avoided supply cost of a
simple-cycle combustion turbine. The estimated program load reduction (calculated
using the Realization Rates) was applied to the avoided supply costs on a per kW basis
to calculate the Program benefit. The Program benefit and costs were discounted by the
APPLICATION , Page 10
Company s weighted-average cost of capital used for resource acquisition analysis to
create the ratios stated above. This analysis method is the same as that utilized in
evaluating this Program for inclusion in the 2004 IRP.
