Re:Case No. I PC-05-
Idaho Power Company Agreement to Provide Standby Electric Service
To The Amalgamated Sugar Company, LLC
Dear Ms. Jewell:
In Order No. 29958 issued on January 26 , 2006 in Case No. IPC-05-37 the
Commission approved a Revised Standby Service Agreement ("Agreement") between
Idaho Power and Amalgamated Sugar Company ("TASCO") dated December 7, 2005.
Under the Agreement Idaho Power supplies standby electric service to TASCO. In Order
No. 29958 the Commission referenced the Uniform Service Agreements under which Idaho
Power provides demand and energy to T ASCO's Nampa, Twin Falls and Paul facilities.
Since the issuance of Order No. 29958, T ASCO has increased the supplemental
contract demand amounts at the Nampa, Paul and Twin Falls facilities. As a result, it is
necessary to amend Section 4.4 of the Agreement to reflect the total contract demand now
requested by TASCO.
Enclosed for filing is a letter agreement dated January 31 , 2007 in which Idaho
Power and T ASCO have agreed to amend the Agreement to reflect the increased total
contract demand now requested by T ASCO. I would request that you file the Letter
Agreement with the Agreement that was approved in the IPC-05-37 case. It is not Idaho
Power Company s intention to file an application with the Commission and open a new
docket for a contract change that is in the nature of a housekeeping matter. I have
discussed this matter with Mr. Woodbury. Of course , if the Commission desires that Idaho
Power make a separate filing to present this amendment, the Company is certainly willing
to do so.

Dear Mr. Chertudi:
The Agreement for Supply of Standby Electric Service between Idaho Power Company ("the
Company ) and The Amalgamated Sugar Company, LLC ("TASCa") dated December 7, 2005 ("the
Agreement") provides up to three megawatts of standby service on a uniform basis to your Nampa
Twin Falls, and Paul facilities in Idaho.
Because TASCa has increased the Supplemental Contract, Demand amounts at the Nampa
Paul , and Twin Falls facilities through the Uniform Service Agreement for each of the facilities, it is
necessary to amend Section 4.4 of the Agreement to provide the Total Contract Demand now
requested by TASCa. Accordingly, the Agreement is to be amended as follows:
Paragraph 4.4 will be amended to read:
Nampa Facility................................................. 13 500 kW
Paul Facility...................................................... 18 000 kW
Twin Falls Facility............................................... 8 500 kW
in lieu of
Nampa Facility................................................. 10 500 kW
Paul Facility...................................................... 13 000 kW
Twin Falls Facility............................................... 7 500 kW
If you approve of the foregoing amendments to the December 7, 2005 Agreement, please
indicate your acceptance in the space provided below, retain one copy of this Letter Agreement and
return a copy for our files.
