Re: Case No. !PC-E-07-02, Order No. 30274
Exemption from the Company's Rule C Provisions Regarding Aggregated Meter Reading
Dear Ms. Jewell:
Pursuant to Order No. 30274 in Case No. IPC-E-07-02,ldaho Power Company ('Compan/)
hereby requests to add an additional customer to the list of customerc exempt from Rule C's
aggregated meter reading provisions. As outlined in the abbreviated procedure approved by the
ldaho Public Utilities Commission ('Commission') in Order No. 30274, the Company is providing the
custome/s name, city location, and an explanation of why aggregation is appropriate for review prior
to aggregating meter readings. The Commission envisioned that the Commission Staff would notiff
the Commission if it has an objection to the customer proposed for aggregation. (Order No. 30274,
p.3.)
The Simplot facility in Caldwell was previously served from a single 28.5 MVA transformer,
and the output of the transformer was metered with one meter serving multiple feeders dedicated to
Simplot. ln response to plans for increased load that will qualify for a Specia! Contract, Idaho Power
installed an additional2S.S MVA transformer at the dedicated substation. Because each transformer
requires a separate meter to facilitate independent operation, which is the standard substation
configuration, the optimal solution is to aggregate the meter readings.
lf the Simplot facility in Caldwell is granted an exemption, the Company will submit an updated
list of Customers exempt from Rule C's aggregated meter reading provisions.
lf you have any questions regarding this request, please contact Connie Aschenbrenner at
388-5994 or [e-mail].
