Re: Case No. IPC-E-05-37
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-E-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 TASCO's Nampa, Twin Falls, and Paul
facilities.
Through tariff changes approved by minute order in accordance with general rate
case Order No. 30508, the Commission authorized the termination of all Uniform Service
Agreements between Idaho Power and its customers effective March 1, 2008. As a result,
it is necessary to amend the Agreement to include the Supplementary Contract Demand
amounts formerly contained in the Uniform Service Agreement.
Enclosed for filing is a letter agreement dated May 22, 2008, in which Idaho Power
and TASCO have agreed to amend the Agreement to reflect the Supplementary Contract
Demand. I would request that you file the Letter Agreement with the Agreement that was
approved in the IPC-E-05-37 case. In addition, I would appreciate it if you would return a
stamped copy of this transmittal letter to me in the enclosed self-addressed stamped
envelope. 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. Of course, if the Commission desires that Idaho Power make a
separate filing to present this amendment, the Company is certainly wiling to do so.
