BEFORE THE IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION
OF IDAHO POWER COMPANY FOR
AUTHORITY TO IMPLEMENT POWER COST
ADJUSTMENT (PCA) RATES FOR ELECTRIC)
SERVICE FROM JUNE 1 , 2005 THROUGH
MAY 31 2006
CASE NO. IPC-05- i5'
APPLICATION
In accordance with RP 052, Application is hereby made to the Idaho Public
Utilities Commission (the "Commission ) by Idaho Power Company ("Idaho Power" or
Company ) for an order either: (1) approving a Schedule 55 containing an increase in the
Company s Power Cost Adjustment ("PC A") rate currently in effect and approving related
tariffs incorporating the increased PCA rate for all customer classes and special contracts
during the period June 1 , 2005 through May 31 , 2006; !lI (2) directing the Company to
maintain the total of current PCA rates without an increase (except for the expiration of
one-year, class-specific credits) for the period June 1 2005 through May 31 2006.
APPLICATION , Page
In support of this Application , Idaho Power represents as follows:
Idaho Power is an Idaho Corporation , whose principal place of business is
1221 West Idaho Street , Boise , Idaho 83702.
II.
Idaho Power operates a public utility supplying retail electric service in
Southern Idaho and Eastern Oregon. Idaho Power is subject to the jurisdiction of this
Commission in Idaho and to the jurisdiction of the Oregon Public Utility Commission in
Oregon. Idaho Power is also subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (the "FERC"
III.
On March 29 , 1993, by Order No. 24806 issued in Case No. IPC-92-25,
the Commission approved the implementation of an annual Power Cost Adjustment
procedure.
IV.
Idaho Power describes two alternative outcomes in this Application.
support of the first alternative, Idaho Power has filed the testimony and exhibits of witness
Celeste M. Schwendiman. Ms. Schwendiman s testimony describes a PCA rate to be
effective June 1 2005 that would increase existing rates by 4.75 percent. This 4.
percent increase would be implemented by an equal 0.2296 cents per kWh increase
applied to the PCA energy rate component for all customer classes and special contracts
for one year.
APPLICATION , Page 2
In support of the second alternative, which the Company proposes the
Commission approve, the Company has filed the testimony and exhibits of witness John
R. Gale. Mr. Gale s testimony supports the Company s proposal that the overall PCA rate
not be increased on June 1 2005. Instead the Company proposes that recovery of the
increased PCA expenses described in Ms. Schwendiman s testimony be postponed for
one year and that the postponed amount, together with interest at the PCA interest rate
be recovered in the PCA rates to be in effect during the period from June 1 , 2006 through
May 31 2007. While Idaho Power believes that this case should be processed under
modified procedure, RP 201 et. seq.Idaho Power stands ready for immediate
consideration of this Application, if it is the Commission s determination that a hearing
should be held.
.Eir.st.A1terr1
In compliance with Commission Orders Nos. 24806 and 29334, the PCA
consists of three components: (1) the projected power cost component under which 90
percent of the difference between projected power cost and the Commission s approved
base power cost is credited to or recovered from customers; (2) the true-up of power
costs component where the unrecovered balance of the power cost deferral from the prior
year is credited or collected; and (3) the true-up of the true-up component under which
any unrecovered balance of the true-up deferral from the prior year is credited or
collected. As described in Ms. Schwendiman s testimony, the first component, projected
power cost, was computed in compliance with Order No. 24806 by inserting the National
Weather Service Northwest River Forecast Center s projection of 2.18 million acre feet
APPLICATION , Page 3
April through July Brownlee streamflow runoff into the Commission-adopted equation for
projecting PCA expenses. The resulting projected power cost of $155,390 795 equates
to a cost of 1.2080 cents per kWh. This 1.2080 cents per kWh is 0.4765 cents per kWh
higher than the Commission-approved base power cost of 0.7315 cents per kWh. In
accordance with Commission Order No. 25880 , the Company is authorized to adjust
rates by 90 percent of the 0.4765 cents per kWh difference resulting in 0.4288 cents per
kWh for the projected power cost component.
VI.
As described in Ms. Schwendiman s testimony, the true-up component of
the PCA is 0.3996 cents per kWh reflecting actual net PCA expenses above last year
forecast. The true-up component in this case also includes several additional items
previously approved by the Commission. These additional items include the customer
benefits associated with settlement of the Valmy outage replacement power matter
expense, growth rate adjustment, non-recurring tax credit issues and the Bonneville
Power Administration water option agreement. The true-up also includes cloud seeding
program expenses incurred in the winter of 2004/2005. Recovery of these expenses in
the true-up was authorized by the Commission in Order No. 29670. The final additional
item in the true-up is the amount for recovery of lost revenues which the Commission
authorized the Company to collect in Order No. 29669. The total true-up including these
items results in an additional $49 768 794 to be collected through the PCA true-up
component.
VII.
The third component is the true-up of the true-up. During the June 1 , 2004
APPLICATION , Page 4
to May 31 , 2005 period, the Company collected all but $635 653 of the $44 841 982
2004/2005 PCA true-up balance. This results in a true-up of the true-up rate of 0.0051
cents per kWh.
VIII.
The combination of the three PCA components - the adjustment for the
2005/2006 projected power cost of serving firm loads, the 2004/2005 true-up, including
the items described in Paragraph VI above, and the true-up of the 2003/2004 true-up
results in a new PCA rate for the 2005/2006 PCA year of 0.8335 cents per kWh. The
existing PCA rate is 0.6039 cents per kWh. Attachment 1 to this Application is a copy of
an Electric Rate Schedule, IPUC No. 27, Tariff No.1 01 , Schedule 55, showing the new
PCA rate of 0.8335 cents per kWh. Attachment 2 is a copy of an Electric Rate Schedule
IPUC No. 27, Tariff No. 101 , showing the application of the increased Schedule 55 PCA
rate to each customer class schedule and special contract. As explained below, the
Company is not proposing adoption of Attachment or but is furnishing the attachments
for the Commission s information.
IX.
As noted in the direct testimony of Company witness John R. Gale, Idaho
Power is proposing that the Commission not implement the 0.8335 cents per kWh
increase in the PCA rate described in Ms. Schwendiman s testimony. Instead the
Company is proposing that the Commission order the Company to maintain the current
overall PCA rate of 0.6039 cents per kWh. This will result in an estimated under-recovery
of the Company s PCA expenses by $28.6 million during the June 1 , 2005 through
APPLICATION , Page 5
May 31 , 2006 period. Idaho Power proposes that this estimated under-recovery be
reflected in the June 1 2005 through May 31 2006 PCA true-up of the true-up
computation that should typically reduce to zero, but under the Company s proposal
would reduce to $28.6 million plus carrying charges at the PCA rate of 2 percent.
essence , the Company s proposal postpones recovery of the $28.6 million for an
additional year. Two percent interest on $28.6 million for one year amounts to $572 000.
In his testimony, Mr. Gale enumerates several reasons why the Company believes that
there are rate-mitigating circumstances that will leave Idaho Power customers better
situated to address the postponed expense in the 2006/2007 PCA.
This Application is not subject to RP 122 because it qualifies for the
exception for power cost adjustments described in RP 122.02. As noted in 122., power
cost adjustment filings are not subject to requirements of RP 122. If the Commission
chooses Alternative 1 , pursuant to RP 123 and Idaho Code 9 61-307, the tariff filing
implementing the PCA rates set out in Attachment 2 would become effective June 1
2005.
XI.
This Application has been and will be brought to the attention of Idaho
Power s affected customers by means of press releases to the news media in the area
served by Idaho Power, by a direct mailing to customers, and in some instances by
means of personal contact with some customers. In addition , the proposed electric rate
schedules , together with this Application and the testimony and exhibits of witnesses
Celeste M. Schwendiman and John R. Gale , will be open for public inspection at Idaho
APPLICATION , Page 6
Power s offices in the State of Idaho. The above procedures are deemed by Idaho Power
to satisfy the Rules of Practice and Procedure of this Commission. Idaho Power will, in
the alternative, bring said Application to the attention of Idaho Power s affected customers
through any other means directed by the Commission.

WHEREFORE, Idaho Power Company respectfully requests that the
Commission issue its Order implementing one of the two alternatives described herein:
These alternatives are: (1) implementation of Power Cost Adjustment rates as proposed
in Attachment 2 effective June 1 , 2005 through May 31 , 2006; !lI, in the alternative
(2) maintaining the monthly Power Cost Adjustment applied to the energy rate of all
metered schedules and special contracts at the current level of 0.6039 cents per kWh
from June 1 2005 through May 31 2006, and directing the Company to reflect the
estimated under-recovery of $28.6 million plus interest at 2 percent in the June 1 , 2005
through May 31 , 2006 true-up of the true-up balance.
Idaho Power also respectfully suggests that when the Commission makes
its final determinations in Case No. IPC-05-10 (Bennett Mountain), IPC-05-
APPLICATION , Page 7
(Income Tax), and this case that the Commission direct the Company to file new tariffs
reflecting the cumulative impact of all three cases.

SCHEDULE 55
POWER COST ADJUSTMENT
APPLICABILITY
This schedule is applicable to the electric energy delivered to all Idaho retail Customers served
under the Company s schedules and Special Contracts. These loads are referred to as "firm" load for
purposes of this schedule.
BASE POWER COST
The Base Power Cost of the Company s rates is computed by dividing the Company s power
cost components by firm kWh load. The power cost components are the sum of fuel expense and
purchased power expense (including purchases from cogeneration and small power producers), less
the sum of off-system surplus sales revenue. The Base Power Cost is 0.7315 cents per kWh.
PROJECTED POWER COST
The Projected Power Cost is the Company estimate, expressed in cents per kWh, of the power
cost components for the forecasted time period beginning April 1 each year and ending the following
March 31. The Projected Power Cost is 1.2080 cents per kWh.
TRUE-UP AND TRUE-UP OF THE TRUE-
The True-up is based upon the difference between the previous Projected Power Cost and the
power costs actually incurred. The True-up of the True-up is the difference between the previous years
approved True-Up revenues and actual revenues collected. The total True-up is 0.4047 cents per kWh.
POWER COST ADJUSTMENT
The Power Cost Adjustment is 90 percent of the difference between the Projected Power Cost
and the Base Power Cost plus the True-ups.
The monthly Power Cost Adjustment applied to the Energy rate of all metered schedules and
Special Contracts is 0.8335 cents per kWh. The monthly Power Cost Adjustment applied to the per unit
charges of the nonmetered schedules is the monthly estimated usage times 0.8335 cents per kWh.
EXPIRATION
The Power Cost Adjustment included on this schedule will expire May 31 , 2006.
