This Application is based upon the following:
The United States Department of Energy, through its Idaho operations office, operates the
site facilities at the Idaho National Laboratory Site located approximately 50 miles west ofIdaho
APPLICATION - 1
Falls, Idaho. DOE and its predecessors have been customers of Idaho Power for many years.
Idaho Power currently supplies electric service to DOE under a special contract in accordance
with the rates and charges set out in Electric Service Rate Schedule 30 ("Schedule 30") and its
successor schedules.
II.
In its April 5, 2005 decision meeting, the Commission approved a one-year contract
running from May 15, 2005 through May 14, 2006 between Idaho Power and DOE ("2005

Following negotiations, Idaho Power and DOE have agreed to renew the 2005
Agreement with a term of service running from the end of the 2005 Agreement through May 15
2007, (the "2006 Agreement"). The 2006 Agreement gives DOE the option to request up to four
one-year extensions. This extension option is the only change from the terms and conditions of
the 2005 Agreement.The 2006 Agreement provides that service is provided under Rate

energy which DOE may request during the term of this Authorization, up to 45 000 kilowatts
monthly for the operation of its facilities located at the INL site. DOE may increase the maximum
amount of 45 000 kilowatts monthly that Company is obligated to supply by an amount up to, but
not exceeding, 10 000 kilowatts monthly, provided that DOE notifies Company in
writing of such additional power requirements not less than twelve (12) months in advance of the
time for such additional requirements. DOE may also request additional power requirements in

during the remaining term of service of this Authorization. Parties agree that such forecasts will
reflect the most recent information available at the time of preparation and may be subject to
revision. Consistent with Prudent Utility Practice, DOE will provide Company in advance with
information as to conditions affecting DOE's load requirements necessary for Company in load
dispatching and in planning of power system operation including the probable times of substantial
load changes, upward or downward. In addition, DOE shall provide Company with prompt notice

Description of Electric Service. Company shall supply three-phase, 60 Hz alternating
current at nominal 138 000 volts, with a maximum steady state variation of plus or minus five
percent (5%) under normal system conditions. Company will make every effort within the
capability of its existing system to minimize voltage level fluctuations, the normal frequency
variation to be within plus or minus 0.05 Hz on a 60 Hz base.
Metering. All service furnished by Company shall be measured at 138 000 volts and
shall be measured by suitable metering equipment of standard manufacture to be furnished
installed, maintained, calibrated and read by Company. In the event it is determined that an error
exists in the metering or billing thereof, and such error is due to a cause, the date of which can be
reliably established, DOE shall receive a refund or credit in the amount of any overcharge or shall
pay Company the amount of any undercharge resulting thereby computed back to but not beyond
such established date. In the event of an error in metering and where the erroneous metering date
commenced cannot be reliably established, the following shall govern:
1 In the event that a meter is found to be registering more than two percent (2%)
fast, Company shall refund or credit to DOE the amount of any overcharge resulting
therefrom based on corrected meter readings for either the period that the meter was known
to be in error, if discernible, or for a period of six (6) months, whichever is shorter.
2 In the event that a meter is found to be registering more than two percent (2%)
slow, DOE shall pay Company the amount of undercharge resulting therefrom based on
corrected meter readings for either the period the meter was known to be in error, if
discernible, or for the preceding six (6) months, whichever is shorter.
6.3 In the event that any meter is found to be non-registering, Company may bill
DOE, and DOE shall pay, for the estimated power consumed for either the period since the
date the meter was last known to be registering or for the preceding three (3) months
whichever is shorter. Such estimate of power consumed shall be mutually agreed upon and
shall be based upon such factors as DOE's prior or subsequent consumption which was
correctly metered, and the general characteristics of DOE's operations.
6.4 Company, so far as possible, shall read all meters at periodic intervals of
approximately 30 days.
5 Company, at its expense, shall test its metering installations associated with
this Authorization, as necessary. At the written request of the Contracting Officer
Company shall make additional tests of any or all such meters in the presence of DOE
representatives. DOE shall pay to Company the costs associated with such meter tests
requested by DOE if the percentage of error revealed by such tests is not found to be more
than two percent (2%) slow or fast.
6 DOE may install, with prior review and approval of Company, check or
submetering equipment, coordinating such metering installations with Company.
7 The parties agree that daily operating procedures, including scheduling and dispatching,
shall be as mutually agreed by the parties and set forth in a Letter of Standard Operating Practices.

scope and schedule prior to beginning work.
SECTION 6 - CONTRACT CHARGES TO BE PAID TO COMPANY
Electric Service Rate Schedule (Schedule 30 - or its successor), as filed by Company
with the Commission, shall be revised as set forth below. Schedule 30 shall be applicable to
electric power and energy delivered by Company for service to DOE at the Point of Delivery. For
electric service provided by Company, DOE shall pay to Company the monthly charges applied to
the billing demand and kilowatt-hours determined in accordance with this contract and
Authorization. Schedule 30 shall remain under the continuing jurisdiction of the Commission and
subject to revision as set forth in paragraph 6.6 below and Section 12.
6.2 Schedule 30 is for the firm retail service of electric power and energy to DOE for the
operation of Facilities located at the INL site.
3 The Billing Demand shall be the average kilowatts supplied during the 30-minute
period of maximum use during the month.
6.4 When the INL power factor is less than 95% during the 30-minute period of
maximum load for the month, Company may adjust the measured demand to determine the Billing
Demand by multiplying the measured kW of demand by 0.95 and dividing by the actual power
factor. Based on the power factor data collected by the Company, the parties agree that at the end
of or during the first 12 month period of this Authorization, the parties shall review and modify
this paragraph as necessary, to reflect the power factor conditions at INL. At that time, such
modification may include the installation of corrective equipment at DOE's expense or as mutually
agreed by the parties.
5 If during the term of this Authorization, with the prior written approval of DOE
Company incurs any costs associated with the use of facilities owned by Pacificorp, d.a. Utah
Power and Light Company (Utah Power), or its successor, solely to provide service to DOE, such
costs shall be paid by DOE in the same amount, form and manner as those costs are incurred by
Company. The parties agree that these costs shall not be added to DOE's rate for electric service
GSA Contract No. GS-OOP-99-BSD-0124
Authorization No. DE-ADO7-06IDI4683
Page 9 of 12
but will be shown as a separate charge in Company s invoices to DOE as described in Section 7
below.
6 If during the term of this Authorization, DOE or Company files and receives authority
from the Commission for rates that are higher or lower than those in effect hereunder, Company
shall continue to supply electricity to DOE as provided in this Authorization and DOE shall pay
for such electricity at the adjusted higher or lower rate from and after the date when such rates are
made effective by the Commission.
SECTION 7 - PAYMENT OF BILLS/SETTLEMENTS
1 DOE shall pay Company for all services provided under this Authorization. Invoices
for payment for electric services shall be prepared and submitted monthly as specified. All
invoices or bills shall contain such data as may be required by DOE to substantiate the billing,
