COMES NOW, Idaho Power Company ("Idaho Powet' or "Company") and, in
accordance with Idaho Code § 61-503 and RP 053, hereby requests that the
Commission issue its Order authorizing the Company to: (1) modify the Irrigation Peak
Rewards Program ("Program") consistent with the terms of the settlement Stipulation
enclosed herewith and (2) to allow the Company to recover the cost of the Program in
its Power Cost Adjustment ("PCA"). This Petition is based on the following:
PETITION -1
1. This Petition is the result of workshops that were held as an outgrowth
from the settlement Stipulation in the Company's last general rate proceeding, Case No.
IPC-E-07-08. The Company hosted a workshop to review the current Program and
explore possible modifications to it. Attendees of the workshop included
representatives of the Idaho Irrigation Pumpers Association, Inc. ("II PA") , Idaho Power
agricultural irrigation customers, Commission Staff, and Company representatives. Two
follow-up phone conference workshops were held where the terms of the present
Stipulation were discussed and agreed upon by IIPA, Commission Staff, and the
Company (the "Parties"). The Parties have agreed to support this Petition to modify the
Program in accordance with the provisions of the settlement Stipulation, which is
enclosed as Attachment NO.1 to this Petition.
2. Filed concurrently with this Petition, is the direct testimony of Idaho Power
witness Timothy Tatum. Mr. Tatum's testimony provides additional detail regarding the
rationale underlying the changes to the Program reflected in the Stipulation. Mr. Tatum
also describes the marketing efforts the Company has committed to undertake in order
to promote the Program.
3. Also filed concurrently with this Petition, is the direct testimony of Idaho
Power witness Gregory W. Said. Mr. Said's testimony provides the Company's
proposal for recovering Program expenses via the Company's Power Cost Adjustment
("PCA") mechanism. Mr. Said proposes that as the next step in promoting cost-effective
demand-side management ("DSM") resources, the Commission should consider funding
sources beyond or in addition to the Rider funding approach. Mr. Said discusses how a
demand response program, such as the one proposed in this matter, provides the
PETITION -2
opportunity to fund specific Demand-Side Management program expenses in a manner
similar to funding a generation-side resource. Based upon that premise, Mr. Said
proposes a method for recovering the Program expenses via the Company's PCA
mechanism.
4. The Parties recommend that the Commission issue its Order approving
the Stipulation in its entirety, without material change or condition, and authorize Idaho
Power to modify the Program in the manner set out in the Stipulation.
5. As noted in paragraph 1 of the Stipulation, all of the Parties agree that the
Stipulation is in the public interest and that all of its terms and conditions are fair, just,
and reasonable.
6. Idaho Power believes that a hearing is not necessary to consider the
issues presented herein and therefore respectfully requests that this Petition be
processed under modified procedure, Le., by written submissions rather than by
hearing. RP 201, et seq. If, however, the Commission determines that a technical
hearing is required, the Company stands ready to present its testimony and support this
Petition at hearing.
NOW, THEREFORE, Idaho Power respectfully requests the Commission issue a
final Order: (1) accepting Attachment NO.1, the Stipulation, in its entirety, without
material change or condition; (2) authorizing the Company to implement the changes to
the Program consistent with the terms of the Stipulation, as shown in the proposed
Tariff Schedule 23; and (3) authorizing the Company to recover Program expenses via
the Company's Power Cost Adjustment ("PCA") mechanism as discussed in the
testimony of Mr. Said.

This stipulation ("Stipulation") is entered into by and among Idaho Power
Company ("Idaho Power" or the "Company"), the Staff of the Idaho Public Utilities
Commission ("Staff), and the Idaho Irrigation Pumpers Association, Inc. ("IIPA"). These
entities are collectively referred to as the "Parties."
I. INTRODUCTION
1. The terms and conditions of this Stipulation are set forth herein. The
Parties agree that this Stipulation represents a fair, just, and reasonable compromise of
STIPULATION - PAGE 1 OF 10
the issues raised in this proceeding and that this Stipulation is in the public interest.
The Parties maintain that this Stipulation and its acceptance by the Idaho Public Utilities
Commission ("IPUC" or the "Commission") represents a reasonable resolution of
multiple issues identified in this matter. The Parties, therefore, recommend that the
Commission, in accordance with RP 274, approve the Stipulation and all of its terms
and conditions without material change or condition.
II. BACKGROUND
2. In the settlement Stipulation for Idaho Power's 2007 general rate case, the
Parties agreed that a working group would meet to review the current Irrigation Peak
Rewards Program ("Program") and explore possible modifications to it. Case No. IPC-
E-07 -08, Stipulation at p. 5-6, See also, Order No. 30508 at p. 8. Pursuant to the rate
case Stipulation, and the Commission's Order adopting the same on June 11, 2008, the
Company hosted a workshop at its Mini-Cassia office in Heyburn, Idaho, to explore
potential modifications to the Program. Attendees of the workshop included
representatives of IIPA, Idaho Power agricultural irrigation customers, Commission
Staff, and Company representatives. The Parties held two follow-up phone conference
workshops where the terms of the present Stipulation were discussed and agreed upon.
3. Based upon the workshop and discussions, the Parties agree to the
following terms:
II. TERMS OF THE STIPULATION
4. The Parties agree to modify the Program as set forth in the revised Tariff
Schedule 23, Irrigation Peak Rewards Program (Optional), attached hereto as Exhibit A.
A red-lined version of this Tariff, showing the proposed changes to the currently
STIPULATION - PAGE 2 OF 10
approved Tariff Schedule 23, is attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Parties agree to
maintain the currently offered timer-based load control devices as an option under the
revised Program, and to institute new dispatchable one-way and two-way
communication load control options. Service under the Program permits the Company
to turn off specified irrigation pumps for a limited number of hours during the period of
June 15 through July 31 ("Program Season"). The Company wil utilize either
dispatchable or timer-based load control devices to turn off specific irrigation pumps
during load control events. In limited applications, eligible customers wil be permitted
to manually interrupt electric service to participating irrigation pumps during load control
events. In exchange for allowing the Company to interrupt service to specified irrigation
pumps, participating customers wil receive a financial incentive in the form of a bil
credit applied to the monthly bils during June and July for each metered service point
enrolled in the Program.
5. Dispatchable Interruption Option. The Parties agree that under the
Dispatchable Interruption Option, the Company wil dispatch service interruptions
remotely to specified irrigation pumps any weekday during the Program Season
between the hours of 2:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time ("MDT"),
excluding July 4. Service interruptions may last up to 4 hours per day and wil not
exceed 15 hours per calendar week and 60 hours per Program Season. The Company
will provide to participating customers notice of pending service interruption by 4:00
p.m. MDT on the day prior to each load control event. The Company wil provide
subsequent notice of a pending service interruption 30 minutes prior to the start of all
load control events and once again prior to the end of all load control events. If prior
STIPULATION - PAGE 3 OF 10
notice of a pending load control event has been sent, the Company may choose to
revoke the load control event and wil provide notice to Customers by 1 :30 p.m. MDT on
the day of the scheduled load control event. The Company wil provide notice of a load
control event via telephone, e-mail, and/or text message. The Parties also agree that
first year participation in the dispatchable interruption options wil be limited to 1,000
metered service points.
6. Customers who elect to participate in the Program under a Dispatchable
Option may be eligible for one of the following Dispatchable Options: (1) A dispatchable
one-way communication load control device connected to the customer's irrigation
pump electrical panel(s) that wil give the Company the ability to send a signal to
interrupt or not allow the associated irrigation pumps to operate during dispatched load
control events, (2) a dispatchable two-way load control device connected to the
customer's irrigation pump electrical panel(s) that wil give the Company and the
customer remote control and monitoring of the pump(s) at a service location, and (3) a
Large Service Location option for service points with more than one pump and at least
1,000 horsepower where customers have the choice of dispatchable two-way
communication devices, as in option 2, or they can choose to manually control their
pumps during load control events.
7. Timer Option. The Parties agree to maintain the currently available timer
program as an additional option under the new Program, with the only change being
different incentive amounts, and the Program Season. Under the Timer Option, the
Company or its representative will install a timer-based load control device on the
customer's electrical panel controllng the irrigation pumps at the metered service point
STIPULATION - PAGE 4 OF 10
enrolled in the Program. The Company or its representative wil set the timer or timers
to interrupt specified irrigation pumps on a designated weekday or designated
weekdays selected by the customer. The Company wil set each timer to interrupt
service during the weekday hours of 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. MDT. Each metered service
point's timer wil be set to interrupt service on one, two, or three regularly scheduled
weekdays per week for each week during the Program Season. The Company retains
the sole right to select the load reduction weekday(s) for each metered service point.
8. Incentive Structure. The Parties agree that in exchange for allowing the
Company to turn off specified irrigation pumps, participating customers wil receive a

additional material conditions on approval of this Stipulation, each Party reserves the
right, upon written notice to the Commission and the other Parties to this proceeding,
within 14 days of the date of such action by the Commission, to withdraw from this
Stipulation. In such case, no Part shall be bound or prejudiced by the terms of this
Stipulation, and each Part shall be entitled to seek reconsideration of the
Commission's order, file testimony as it chooses, cross-examine witnesses, and do all
other things necessary to put on such case as it deems appropriate. In such case, the
Parties immediately will request the prompt reconvening of a prehearing conference for
purposes of establishing a procedural schedule for the completion of the case. The
Parties agree to cooperate in development of a schedule that concludes the proceeding
on the earliest possible date, taking into account the needs of the Parties in participating
in hearings and preparing briefs.

PROGRAM
(OPTIONAL)
PURPOSE
The Irrigation Peak Rewards Program (the Program) is an optional, supplemental service that
permits participating agricultural irrigation Customers taking service under Schedule 24 to allow the
Company to turn off specific irrigation pumps with the use of one or more Load Control Devices. In
exchange for allowing the Company to turn off specified irrigation pumps, participating Customers wil
receive a financial incentive in the form of a Bil Credit applied to the monthly bils for June and July for
each metered service point (Metered Service Point) enrolled in the Program.
AVAILABILITY
Service under this schedule is available on an optional basis to Customers with a Metered
Service Point or Points receiving service under Schedule 24 where the Metered Service Point serves a
water pumping or water delivery system used to irrigate agricultural crops or pasturage.
The Company shall have the right to select and reject Program participants at its sole discretion
based on criteria the Company considers necessary to ensure the effective operation of the Program.
Selection criteria may include, but will not be limited to, Billng Demand, location, pump horsepower,
pumping system configuration, or electric system configuration. Past participation does not ensure
selection into the Program in future years. Participation may be limited based upon the availability of
Program equipment and funding.
Each eligible Customer who chooses to take service under this optional schedule is required to
enter into a Uniform Irrigation Peak Rewards Service Application/Agreement (Agreement) with the
Company prior to being served under this schedule. The Agreement wil grant the Company or its
representative permission, on reasonable notice, to enter the Customer's property to install one or more
Load Control Devices on the electrical panel servicing the irrigation equipment associated with the
Metered Service Points that are enrolled in this Program and to allow the Company or its representative
reasonable access to the Load Control Device(s) following the installation. By entering into the
Agreement, each Customer also agrees to not increase for the sole purpose of participating in the
Program the capacity, horsepower (HP) or size of the irrigation system served by the Company.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Service under this optional, supplementary Program permits the Company to turn off specified
irrigation pumps for a limited number of hours during the period of June 15 through July 31 (Program
Season). The Company will utilize either dispatchable or timer-based Load Control Devices to turn off
specific irrigation pumps during load control events. In limited applications, a select group of eligible
Customers will be permitted to manually interrupt electric service to participating irrigation pumps during
load control events (See Dispatchable Option 3). In exchange for allowing the Company to interrupt
service to specified irrigation pumps, participating Customers wil receive a financial incentive in the
