J "i iO riD PUBL UflLlTlES COr'1f~1ISSION Attorneys for Magic Wind LLC, Cassia Wind Farm LLC and Cassia Gulch Wind Park LLC (Magic and Cassia) OR' GI NAL BEFORE THE IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION IN THE MATTER OF THE PETITION OF IDAHO POWER COMPANY FOR AN ORDER TEMPORARILY SUSPENDING IDAHO POWER'S PURPA OBLIGATION TO ENTER INTO CONTRACTS TO PURCHASE ENERGY GENERATED BY WIND- POWERED SMALL POWER PRODUCTION FACILITIES. Case No, IPC-O5- BEFORE THE IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION DIRECT TESTIMONY OF JARED GROVER Please state your name and business address. My name is Jared Grover and my business address is 3635 Kingswood Drive, Boise, Idaho 83704. What is your association with or relation to Cassia Wind Farm LLC and Cassia Gulch Wind Park LLC (collectively Cassia Wind) interveners this case? I am the owner and manager. Please describe your professional and business background. I received my Masters of Accountancy -Taxation from Boise State University. I am a farmer in the Hagerman Idaho area. Because of high power rates in 2004, I could not afford to irrigate, and moved to Boise. With power rates high and not expected to substantially be reduced, I decided I would not be able to afford to irrigate another season and I sold my water rights on my farm. Now, the best use of my farm, and those around me, is to develop wind. I am currently working full-time developing these wind projects. Please describe the wind generation projects Cassia Wind is proposing to develop. Cassia Wind is developing two wind projects in Twin Falls County. One is located on my farm, and the other is on another local farmer s land who has also sold his water rights. The wind projects total capacity will be 18.9MWand 10.5MW. What is the intended date for the project to achieve commercial operation? Grover, Di Magic Wind LLC We intend to have the first project (18.9 MW) operational by year-end 2005. Is there a benefit to achieving commercial operation by year end 2005? Under the current tax legislation, a Production Tax Credit (PTC) is given to new wind projects over the first 10 years of operation. The PTC credit provides an incentive for investors to invest in wind projects and makes the projects economically feasible. The PTC is set to expire at the end of the 2005. Because of the upcoming expiration, investors are putting their money into projects that can be completed before year end. If a project is not likely to be completed before the PTC credits expire, the investors will go elsewhere. Another benefit of completing a project before 2005 is that turbines are scarce and increasing in price. Most manufacturers have filled orders through the middle to 3rd quarter of2006. If a project is postponed, it is difficult to convince the manufacturers to hold the turbines instead of simply selling them to other willing and able buyers. Based on what has happened in the last year, more delay before taking delivery of turbines will mean increased costs. Please describe the activities Cassia Wind has undertaken with a view toward achieving commercial operation by year end 2005. Many activities have been, and are being done to have the project completed in time to be eligible for the PTC's. I have purchased a 50 Meter anemometer tower, and also have a percentage ownership of 4 other Grover, Di Magic Wind LLC anemometers within 10 miles of the project. We have been collecting data from some of the towers for several years. From these anemometers, I have spent significant amounts of time and money compiling and analyzing the data. I have negotiated land lease contracts, and initiated the local permitting process. I have personally invested tens of thousands of dollars into the project. To facilitate achieving commercial operation by year end I traveled in and out of the state to meet with equipment manufacturers and potential investors. Long term financial projections have been created for the projects using the wind data, current turbine prices, financing rates, construction costs, and PURP A rates. Using these projections, private investors and bank loans have been found for financing. The investors are requiring a signed PP A before money is spent on further development such as ground preparation, or paying the large down payment required for delivery of the wind turbines. I have met with Idaho Power Co.s engineers as part of the interconnection study. am currently waiting for a completed interconnection agreement and a power purchase agreement. Has Cassia Wind submitted an Interconnection Applications to Idaho Power Company? Yes. Attached to my testimony as Exhibit No. 602 is a correct copy of our submitted Interconnection Applications. Does submission of an Interconnection Application carry with it a financial commitment? Grover, Di Magic Wind LLC Yes, according to Idaho Power Company procedures, a feasibility analysis fee of $10 000 or $2000, depending on size, for each project must be paid at the time the Application is submitted. Did Cassia Wind pay the required fees? Yes it did. Would Cassia Wind have submitted the Interconnection Applications and paid the analysis fee if it did not seriously intend to complete the project? Absolutely Not. Submission of an Interconnection Application is a substantial milestone in the development process. If the project was not viable we would have abandoned the project at an earlier stage, perhaps even before spending money on additional anemometer towers, meetings and seminars to meet with and work with manufacturers and investors. am working full-time on these projects and I assure you that Cassia Wind is very serious about making these projects a reality. Has Cassia Wind requested to receive Firm Energy Sales Agreement from Idaho Power Company? Yes. I have requested to receive Firm Energy Sales Agreement from Idaho Power but have not yet received one. Upon submittal of my first interconnection study application I followed the instructions outlined on the Generation Interconnection Application. It says "Upon receipt of these items, Idaho Power Company will notify you in writing of the applicable contract application date and begin the process of drafting the appropriate energy sales agreement for your review." (see page 2 of the application Grover, Di Magic Wind LLC instructions) I submitted the items and expected to receive a draft of an energy sales agreement. One application was submitted on 5/26/2005 and the other on 6/15/2005 (accepted by Idaho Power on 6/16/2005). 6/17/2005 I emailed my Idaho Power Contact Randy Alphin and again requested my PP A be started. I later called and left another message to which Randy called me back shortly. He explained that Idaho Power would not be signing any new contracts until the PUC had decided on this issue. Upon my request by email I was sent an email summarizing that part of our conversation. Have you had any other conversations relating to your Power Purchase Agreement? Yes. I talked to Randy Alphin again and asked him if it were possible to negotiate a contract, even considering a lower price because my investors are wanting to continue with the project, or move on to other projects. wanted to know if there was any way that I could get a signed contract. We discussed the possibility of negotiating a contract with a lower Rate in exchange for excluding or substantially reducing the 90/110 rule from the contract. The next day Randy called me and told me Idaho Power has decided to wait until after the PUC has decided on this case. In undertaking the development activities you have described, did Cassia Wind rely on the Commission s policies and procedures being stable and predictable? Grover, Di Magic Wind LLC Yes. Much preparation on my part has been put into getting these projects through the preliminary stages of data collection and economic feasibility. Investors, manufacturers, and contractors have placed good faith in the completion of these projects. All of us rely on the Commission maintaining stable and predictable policies. If the Commission were to grant Idaho Power s requested "temporary suspension" could not Cassia Wind simply temporarily halt its development efforts and then resume after the suspension terminated? No. It is important for the Commission to understand that although the Company s request is phrased in terms of "temporary suspension" it is, in effect, a death sentence for our projects. It would be very difficult to restart these projects. The loss of the investors and turbines on this project would not only leave a bad name on the Cassia Wind projects, but the very economic fundamentals will change substantially. As explained earlier turbine prices continue to rise due to high demand and high steel prices. Investors will be turned off by projects that look risky because it has stopped before, and they will also not be interested it the PTC tax credits are not available. In addition, part of the project financing is planned to be based on bank loans. If interest rates continue to rise, as they are expected , the higher rates will substantially increase the expenses of the project which will also discourage investors. Does this conclude your testimony? Yes it does.
