FROM:MICHAEL LOUIS
DATE:AUGUST 17,2015
SUBJECT:TARIFF ADVICE REGARDING MODIFICATION OF IDAHO POWER’S
RULE M,FACILITIES CHARGE SERVICE AND SCHEDULE 66,
MISCELLANEOUS CHARGES
On August 7,2015,Idaho Power Company filed Tariff Advice No.15-09 requesting
authority to modify Rule M,Facilities Charge Service and Schedule 66,Miscellaneous Charges.
Rule M applies to customers taking Primary or Transmission Service using Company-owned and
operated facilities beyond the point of delivery and charged rates outlined through Schedule 66,
Miscellaneous Charges.The Company requests these updates to become effective on September
7,2015.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The purpose of the Company’s Application is to add language regarding Rule M’s
applicability to special contracts where the special contract does not specifically include facility
charge provisions and to add the recently approved special contract,Schedule 32 (Electric Service
Rate for J.R.Simplot Company,Caldwell,Idaho,dated April 8,2015)to Schedule 66,
Miscellaneous Charges.
Staff has reviewed the Application and believes this request does not materially change the
current regulations under Rule M while appropriately adding the newly approved special contract
(Schedule 32)to Schedule 66 so that the customer can be charged currently approved monthly
facility charge rates.
