THE UPPER LIMIT OF POWER
REQUIREMENTS FOR LARGE LOAD
CUSTOMERS.
CASE NO. IPC-E-IO-23
I DAHO POWER COMPANY
DIRECT TESTIMONY
OF
MICHAEL J. YOUNGBLOOD
1 Q.Please state your name and business address.
2 A.My name is Michael J. Youngblood. My
3 business address is 1221 West Idaho Street, Boise, Idaho.
4 Q.By whom are you employed and in what
5 capacity?
6 A.I am employed by Idaho Power Company ("Idaho
7 Power" or "Company") as the Manager of Rate Design in the
8 Regulatory Affairs Department.
9 Q.Please describe your educational background.
10 A.In May of 1977, I received a Bachelor of
11 Science Degree in Mathematics and Computer Science from the
12 University of Idaho. From 1994 through 1996, I was a
13 graduate student in the Executive MBA program of Colorado
14 State Uni versi ty. Over the years, I have attended numerous
15 industry conferences and training sessions, including
16 Edison Electric Institute's "Electric Rates Advanced
17 Course. "
18 Q.Please describe your work experience with
19 Idaho Power.
20 A.I began my employment with Idaho Power in
21 1977. During my career, I have worked in several
22 departments and subsidiaries of the Company, including
23 Systems Development, Demand Planning, Strategic Planning,
24 and IDACORP Solutions. Most relevant to this testimony
YOUNGBLOOD, DI 1
Idaho Power Company
1 though is my experience wi thin the Regulatory Affairs
2 Department. From 1981 to 1988, I worked as a Rate Analyst
3 in the Rates and Planning Department where I was
4 responsible for the preparation of electric rate design
5 studies and bill frequency analyses. I was also
6 responsible for the validation and analysis of the load
7 research data used for cost-of-service allocations.
8 From 1988 through 1991, I worked in Demand Planning
9 and was responsible for the load research and load
10 forecasting functions of the Company, including sample
11 design, implementation, data retrieval, analysis, and
12 reporting. I was responsible for the preparation of the
13 fi ve-year and twenty-year load forecasts used in revenue
14 proj ections and resource plans as well as the presentation
15 of these forecasts to the public and regulatory
16 commissions.
17 In 2001, I returned to the Regulatory Affairs
18 Department and have worked on special proj ects related to
19 deregulation, the Company's Integrated Resource Plan, and
20 filings with both the Idaho Public Utilities Commission
21 ("IPUC") and the Oregon Public Utility Commission ("OPUC").
22 Specifically in Oregon, I have provided testimony to the
23 Commission in Docket Nos. UE 123/UE 131, UM 1198, UM 1261,
24 and UE 195.
YOUNGBLOOD, DI 2
Idaho Power Company
1 In 2008, I was promoted to my current position of
2 Manager of Rate Design for Idaho Power. It is in this
3 posi tion that I am currently responsible for the management
4 of the rate design strategies of the Company as well as the
5 oversight of all tariff administration.
6 Q.What is the purpose of your testimony in
7 this case?
8 A.My testimony will provide the Company's
9 rationale for changing the eligibility requirements for
10 service under Schedule 19, Large Power Service, and
11 Schedule 24, Agricultural Irrigation Service, and the Point
12 of Delivery Service requirement in Rule C, Service and
13 Limitations.
14 Q.What change in the eligibility requirements
15 for Schedule 19 and Schedule 24 is the Company proposing?
16 A.Currently, if the aggregate power
17 requirement of a customer who receives service at one or
18 more points of delivery on the same premise exceeds 25,000
19 kW, the customer is required to make special contract
20 arrangements with the Company. Idaho Power is proposing
21 that the level at which a customer is required to make
22 special contract arrangements with the Company be lowered
23 to 20,000 kW.
24 Q.When was the level of 25,000 kW established?
YOUNGBLOOD, DI 3
Idaho Power Company
1 A.Prior to October 1, 1981, the loads
2 applicable to Schedule 19 were from 750 kW to 15,000 kW in
3 size. Then, pursuant to Commission Order No. 16688, issued
4 in Case No. U-1006-159, Schedule 19 became available for
5 loads from 750 kW to 25,000 kW. Loads above 25,000 kW were
6 subj ect to special contract agreement.
7 Q.Why does Idaho Power now want to reduce the
8 upper limit of power requirement for Large Power Service
9 and Agricultural Irrigation Service from 25,000 kW to
10 20,000 kW?
11 A.For many years, Idaho Power had excess
12 generation and transmission capacity that could be
13 available for new large loads. In recent years, excess
14 capaci ty has diminished to the point that new large loads
15 will often drive the need to add new generation and/or new
16 transmission. In order to assist the Company in its
17 planning and management of new generation and/or new
18 transmission to serve new large loads, and also to provide
19 more protection to other retail customers from the system
20 impacts large loads may impose on system costs, Idaho Power
21 is proposing to lower the upper limit of eligibility for
22 large power supply and agricultural customers. At a time
23 when the ability of the Company's system to serve existing
24 loads is constrained, the sheer size and operating
YOUNGBLOOD, DI 4
Idaho Power Company
1 characteristics of the new large load customers can be
2 expensi ve to serve. By reducing the upper limit of
3 eligibility for additional large loads to be served under a
4 tariff schedule, Idaho Power can address these incremental
5 costs wi thin the terms of a special contract. This allows
6 for specific cost-of-service information to be determined
7 and reviewed during regulatory proceedings. It also allows
8 for the unique characteristics of customers of this size to
9 be captured wi thin the terms of a contractual agreement.
10 Q.Other than current special contract
11 customers, does Idaho Power currently have any retail
12 tariff customer in its Idaho jurisdiction whose power
13 requirement is greater than 20,000 kW?
14 A.No. In fact, upon review of the highest
15 monthly kW demand of Idaho Power's largest ten retail
16 tariff customers, other than special contract customers,
17 wi thin the Idaho jurisdiction for the previous five years,
18 the largest customer's maximum monthly billing demand was
19 just over 16,000 kW. Exhibit No.1 shows the annual
20 maximum billing demand for the ten largest Idaho retail
21 customers, other than special contract customers, from 2005
22 to 2009.
YOUNGBLOOD, DI 5
Idaho Power Company
1 Q.Is the Company proposing any additional
2 changes for customers whose power requirement exceeds
3 20,000 kW?
4 A.No. Any future customer who applies for
5 service over 20,000 kW of aggregate load would adhere to
6 the same interconnection procedures as currently required
7 for new customers with total aggregate load over 25,000 kW.
8 Q.If the Company's proposal is adopted, what
9 will happen to any existing customer whose power
10 requirement grows to exceed 20,000 kW?
11 A.Any existing customer whose power
12 requirements grow and exceed a new cap of 20,000 kW will no
13 longer be eligible for service under Schedule 19 or
14 Schedule 24. They would be required to make special
15 contract arrangements with the Company, just as is
16 currently required if a customer's power requirements
17 exceed 25,000 kW.
18 Q.Will the reduction in the upper limit of the
19 power demanded as an eligibility requirement for Schedules
20 19 and 24 improve the Company's ability to effectively
21 manage the impacts of new large load customers?
22 A.Yes. The ability to evaluate the additional
23 costs of serving specific large loads and capture those
24 costs in the provisions of a special contract as a result
YOUNGBLOOD, DI 6
Idaho Power Company
1 of the reduction in the power requirement eligibility limit
2 is consistent with Idaho Power's regulatory goals for large
3 load service. These goals, which are the same goals
4 previously stated in Company witness Ric Gale's direct
5 testimony in the Hoku Materials special contract case, Case
6 No. IPC-E-08-21, are:
7 1. Provide requested service consistent
8 with system capability and the reliability needs of
9 existing customers;
10 2.Provide options to the customer when
11 the Company is unable to provide service as requested;
12 3.Mitigate the rate impact on existing
13 customers by developing a rate structure that includes a
14 marginal price component for an initial term of the service
15 agreement;
16 4.Require upfront contributions to
17 capi tal expenditures associated with facilities that
18 specifically serve the large load customer; and
19 5.Provide a means to quantify known and
20 measurable amounts of additional load for Integrated
21 Resource Planning.
22 Q.How does reducing the power requirement
23 limit to 20,000 kW help mitigate the rate impact of
24 potential new large load customers on existing customers?
YOUNGBLOOD, DI 7
Idaho Power Company
1 A.Because the new load will be required to
2 make special contract arrangements with the Company, Idaho
3 Power can more accurately price the new load based on its
4 unique characteristics. This will enable the Company to
5 more accurately assign the costs of servicing new large
6 load customers, thus mitigating the impact on existing
7 customers. For example, under a special contract, the
8 parties can negotiate a price that reflects a blend of
9 marginal and embedded costs, or the flexibility to offer
10 the new customer pass through access to market rates,
11 depending on the resources required to serve the new load.
12 Or, the parties could agree to allow the Company to shape
13 the load or service requirements in response to resource
14 limi tat ions or transmission constraints during system
15 peaks.
16 Q.Does Idaho Power have a similar tariff
1 7 eligibility provision in its Oregon jurisdiction?
18 A.Yes. As part of the 2009 Oregon General
19 Rate Case, UE 213, Idaho Power proposed to lower the
20 special contract eligibility requirement from 25,000 kW to
21 20,000 kW, as is being proposed in this filing for the
22 Idaho jurisdiction. There were no obj ections to this
23 proposal in the settlement among parties in the case and
YOUNGBLOOD, DI 8
Idaho Power Company
1 the provision was adopted in Oregon Public Utility
2 Commission Order No. 10-064 and Advice No. 10-06.
3 Q.Have you prepared proposed tariff sheets
4 that reflect the proposed changes you recommend?
5 A.Yes. The changes required to reduce the
6 eligibility requirement for Large Power Service from 25,000
7 kW to 20,000 kW have been made to Schedule 19, Schedule 24,
8 and Rule C. These proposed changes are shown in Exhibit
9 Nos. 2 and 3, final and legislative format, respectively.
10 Q.Does this conclude your direct testimony in
11 this case?
12 A.Yes, it does.
