I, Randy Allphin, do declare the following and if called to testify, would and could
competently testify thereto:
AFFIDAVIT OF RANDY ALLPHIN IN SUPPORT OF
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S MEMORANDUM ON REMAND - 1
1. I am over the age of eighteen and I am the Senior Energy Contract
Coordinator at Idaho Power Company ("Idaho Powet' or "Company"). I have been
employed by Idaho Power for approximately 30 years, and dealing with Public Utilty
Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 ("PURPA") power purchases for 26 of those years.
2. My primary responsibilties include daily administration of existing and the
negotiation of new PURPA and other renewable energy contracts.
3. I negotiated the Power Purchase Agreements with Grouse Creek Wind
Park, LLC, and Grouse Creek Wind Park II, LLC ("Grouse Creek" or "Project") with the
project developer, Wasatch Wind, for its proposed PURPA qualifying facilities ("QF").
4. Attached hereto as Attachment NO.1 is a listing of many of the e-mail
communications and some letters that were exchanged between Idaho Power and
representatives of Wasatch Wind. This list does not include the phone calls and other
conversations that took place with regard to Wasatch Wind and its proposed PURPA
projects.
5. Wasatch Wind first contacted Idaho Power inquiring as to a potential
PURPA project ranging from 10 average megawatts ("aMW") to 80 megawatts ("MW")
on February 26, 2010, by Christine MikelL. Attached hereto as Attachment NO.2 are
several of the initial e-mail exchanges between myself and Ms. Mikell from February 26
through March 3, 2010, regarding this initial inquiry and Idaho Powets initial response.
The Project was informed at this time that, among other things, because it was an off-
system QF, sufficient information regarding delivery of its output to Idaho Powets
system would need to be provided.

IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S MEMORANDUM ON REMAND - 2
6. Attached hereto as Attachment No. 3 are several communications from
April and May 2010, again between myself and Ms. MikelL. These communications
show that the Project continued to change its configuration, inquiring as to a 60 MW
project. As the proposed project was over 10 aMW, pricing was to be calculated
pursuant to the Integrated Resource Plan ("IRP") methodology. As such, Idaho Power
needed one yeats worth of hourly generation data from the Project in order to calculate
pricing in the IRP modeL. Some of these communications concerned the data to be
submitted by the Project, and notification that the data from the Project appeared to
contain errors.
7. Attached hereto as Attachment NO.4 are several communications from
the month of June 2010. Many of these communications relate to the letter of
understanding and transmission questionnaire that is required to enable Idaho Powets
merchant business unit to make a transmission service request ("TSR") to the
Company's transmission business unit to establish sufficient transmission capacity on
Idaho Powets system to designate the Project's output as a network resource to serve
load on Idaho Powets system. Also included is a June 2 communication where Idaho
Power forwarded initial indicative pricing to the Project based upon the run of the IRP
avoided cost methodology. On June 24, the Project provided a Bonnevile Power
Administration ("BPA") feasibilty study for a 150 MW project, and advised that it was
having complications with golden eagle nests near the Project site, and wished to now
change configurations and discuss a single 10 aMW project, and possibly another at a
later date. There are some follow-up communications from Idaho Power providing
information on the published rate process.

IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S MEMORANDUM ON REMAND - 3
8. Attached hereto as Attachment No. 5 are several communications
between Idaho and the Project from the month of July 2010. The Project submitted
information regarding various configurations, turbines, and transmission arrangements.
Idaho Power continued to try and clarify information from the Project with respect to the
TSR.
9. Attached hereto as Attachment NO.6 are communications from the month
of August showing further dialogue regarding clarification as to the project configuration,
the number of proposed projects, accuracy of the data, and the requirements of 10
aMW and one-mile separation.
10. Attached hereto as Attachment No. 7 are two letters from Peter
Richardson, counsel for the Project, dated October 1, 2010, for Grouse Creek Wind and
Grouse Creek Wind II, respectively. These letters request PPAs, provides information,
objects to the posting of security required by the contracts, changes the project from 30
MW to 21 MW, and requests revision of the TSR from 30 MW to 21 MW, among other
things.
11. Attached hereto as Attachment No. 8 are November 1 letters from Idaho
Power to Mr. Richardson, responding to his October 1 letter and pointing out several of
the open items remaining with the various proposed projects. Also forwarded with these
letters were copies of: Network Resource Integration Study Agreements, Transmission
Capacity Application Questionnaires, and Draft Firm Energy Sales Agreements.
12. Attached hereto as Attachment NO.9 is a November 4 e-mail from myself
to Mr. Richardson advising that the submitted TSRs were rejected because the
information provided by the Project did not sync up with the Project's transmission
AFFIDAVIT OF RANDY ALLPHIN IN SUPPORT OF
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S MEMORANDUM ON REMAND - 4
requests on BPA's system. The communication asks for updated transmission
information from the Project that was needed to proceed with the TSRs, and advised of
the need for ancilary services. Also included in Attachment No. 9 is a November 24
letter from Donovan Walker to Mr. Richardson confirming a prior letter and meeting
between the Project and Idaho Power, and summarizing the current status of
negotiations as to some of the previously contested terms and conditions. Also
attached in Attachment No. 9 is a November 29 e-mail from Mr. Richardson to Kris
Sasser, counsel for the Idaho Public Utilties Commission ("Commission") Staff
regarding Grouse Creek's Complaints.
13. Attached hereto as Attachment No. 10 is a December 2 letter from Mr.
Richardson forwarding Draft Firm Energy Sales Agreements ("FESA") containing the
Projects' mark-up and provision of Project information into the Draft FESA.
14. On December 6, Idaho Power received a revised Transmission
Questionnaire from the Projects containing corrected information for re-submission of
the TSRs, which was forwarded to Idaho Power transmission on the same day.
15. Attached hereto as Attachment No. 11 is a December 7, 1 :50 p.m. e-mail
and letter from me to Mr. Richardson acknowledging receipt of the December 2 mark-up
of the Draft FESA from the Project, the December 6 updated transmission information,
and reviewing/confirming the negotiations and status of moving the Projects towards
final agreements.
16. Attached hereto as Attachment No. 12 is a December 7, 7:49 p.m. e-mail
communication to Mr. Richardson forwarding updated Draft FESAs for the Projects,
incorporating the information provided by the Projects, and working toward executable
AFFIDAVIT OF RANDY ALLPHIN IN SUPPORT OF
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S MEMORANDUM ON REMAND - 5
versions of the FESAs. This communication also notifies the Projects of missing
information from the Projects necessary to confirm the required one-mile separation
between the Projects and necessary to complete the Draft FESAs. Also on December
7, Idaho Power began the internal review process on the Draft FESAs, even though
they were not yet complete, nor accepted by the Projects, so as not to unduly impede
the ultimate execution of the FESAs once accepted by the Projects, since the
December 14, 2010, date previously set by the Commission as the effective date for the
reduction in the published rate eligibilty cap to 100 kilowatts was drawing near. Also
attached in Attachment No. 12 is a December 9 e-mail from Mr. Richardson confirming
the Projects' agreement to the security provisions of the contract and requesting a
change in the Scheduled First Energy Dates as well as the Scheduled Operation Dates.
17. Attached hereto as Attachment No. 13 is a December 14 e-mail from
Idaho Power to Mr. Richardson requesting that the Projects provide missing necessary
information required for completion of the Draft FESAs. This information included
naming the proper transmission entity, as previous communication had indicated at
different times both BPA and PacifiCorp, and requested again that the Project provide a
complete location designation, which is necessary to establish the proper one-mile
separation and legal description of the Projects' location.
18. Attached hereto as Attachment No. 14 is a December 15 e-mail from
Idaho Power to Mr. Richardson confirming Idaho Powets receipt and acceptance of the
Projects' revised First Energy and Scheduled Operation dates, and indicating the same
would be incorporated into the final Draft FESAs. This communication also reiterates
Idaho Power's December 14 request from the previous day for additional required
AFFIDAVIT OF RANDY ALLPHIN IN SUPPORT OF
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S MEMORANDUM ON REMAND - 6
information regarding the Transmitting Entity and completion of the location description
for the Projects. The Projects were informed that this information was required to
continue processing the proposed agreements. Also attached in Attachment No. 14 is a
December 15 response from Mr. Richardson's office responding to Idaho Powets
requests for completed information.
19. Attached hereto as Attachment No. 15 is an e-mail communication
between Idaho Power and Greg Adams from Mr. Richardson's offce. This
communication contains a December 15 request from Idaho Power to confirm that the
Schedule First Energy and Scheduled Operation Dates, as well as the location
description for the Projects, were correct. This information was confirmed on December
16, at 8:19 a.m. by Mr. Adams. Also included in Attachment No. 15 is a December 16,
9:53 a.m. communication from Idaho Power that final Draft FESAs are completed, and
ready for the Projects' review. The e-mail asks if they prefer to pick up the hard copies
at Idaho Power, or if they wish for the Draft FESAs to be placed in the maiL. Mr. Adams
responded that he would pick up the Agreements.
20. After the Projects picked up final Draft FESAs for their review on
December 16, 2010, the Projects signed the FESAs on December 21, thereby
committing the Projects to sell their output to Idaho Power pursuant -to.t~e negotiated
terms and conditions contained in those Agreements. The Projects sigMdthe:~ESAs

Power filed the executed FESAs with the Commission for its review.
AFFIDAVIT OF RANDY ALLPHIN IN SUPPORT OF
IDAHO POWER COMPANY'S MEMORANDUM ON REMAND - 7
21. Idaho Power negotiated in good faith with Grouse Creek, dilgently
responded to the Projects' requests, and made every effort to work in good faith with the
Projects through several different iterations of the Projects' own development and
configurations. Idaho Power not only did not delay the Projects but actually went to
extra efforts seeking necessary information from the Projects in an attempt to move the
draft agreements forward prior to December 14, 2010. It was the Projects' own failure
to provide complete and accurate information that delayed their own review of the
Agreements unti after the December 14,2010, date had passed. Grouse Creek did not
commit itself to sell its output to Idaho Power until December 21, 2010, after it reviewed
the final draft Agreements and executed them.
I declare under penalty of perjury of the laws of the state of Idaho that the
foregoing is true and correct.
DATED this 6th day of February 2012.

Yes, there is a deduction from the avoided cost for wind projects as well as the price in seasonalized and adjusted for
Heavy load and light load hours.
If you follow this link to the Idaho Public Utilty Commission website" it Isa wind contract that was flied and approved in
2009. This wil provide you the general concepts that would be In a potential cOntract for your project.
The prices, wil need to be adjusted to prices approved by the IPUC at the time an agreemerit is e)(ecuted as well as any

Subjec: sample PPA, interconnecin and trnsmission capacity proces
Christine - copied below Is the generic language that I put in letters to potential PURPA projects that are wanting
contracts with Idaho Power. As your project is off of the Idaho Power system~ added steps to deal with the
interconnection and transmission provider(s) arrangements would need to be added to this letter for your specific
project.
In thinking through the process, I envision that at the point you provide confirmation of the IA and BPA transmission l
would put an official letter together for you with this information, requests and requirements.
This e-mail isfergenericil1formation purposes only, it is not 21 commitment by IdahO' Power
to purchase energy from this project, or is it to be con$idered to be offcial notification of a
specifie process.

xxxxxxx,
Summarized below is a brief outline of the purchase power agreement, interconnection procéSS and
transmission capacity requirements for your proposed generation project.
Purchase Power Agreement
The project you have described appears to be eligible for a purchase power agreement under the guidelines for
a Qualifying Facilty as defined by the Public Utilties Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA). At the time you are
ready to proceed with a purchase power agreement for this project, Idaho Power wil prepare a purchase power
agreement that complies with the current rules and regulations that govern these PURPA agreements, any draft
purchase pOwer agreements previously provided to you for review must be updated to include current rules arld
regulations.
PrIor to Idaho POWer executing a purchase power agreement it wil be required thatyo,- have;
1.) Provided documentation thatsubstantiates that the project has fied for interconnection and IS in
compliance with any payments and/orother requirements specified in the Interconnection process
for this project and;

Case Nos. IPC-E-10-61 & IPC-E-10-62
Allphin Affdavit, IPC
Page 2 of 10
2.) Receivedaild accepted an interconnection feasibilty study for this project and;
3.) Returned a signed copy of this letter Of understanding and all of the required infOrmation to enable
Idaho Power to file an application requesting transmission capacity for this project. Co.mpletion of the
enclosed Transmìssion Capatity Application Questionnaire wil provide the majority of thìs
information and;
4.) Confirmation that the results of the initial transmission capacity application are known and the
project accepts these results and intends tlJ continue with the development of t~e prlJject inc:luding.
if applicable, execution of a Network Resource integration StudY Agreement in the formendosed
herein.
Interconnection and Transmission Capacity
Your project wil be responsible for all costs of physically interconnecting the project to the Idaho Power
electrical system and any costs associated withacquìring adeqUate firm transmission capacity on the Idaho Power
transmision system to enable the project's energy to be delivered to Idaho Power c:ustomers.
Interconnection
Your project wil be required to complete the interconnection process and execute a Generation
Interconnection Agreement (tiGIAN).
TransmissIon Qipacity
To sell your projects energy to Idaho Power, your project must be designated as a Netwrk
ResourCe ("DNRN).
In order for this project to achieve DNR status, Idaho POWer is required to make a request (complete
and file an appUcation) and be granted firm transmission capacity from the Idaho Power delivery
business unit (tiDelivery") to move your projects energy from the physical interc:onnection point to
Idaho Power customers. In accordance with various rules and regulations, the project must be granted
DNR status no later than 60 days prior to the project delivering any energy to Idaho Power.
IdahO Power wil begin this firm transmission capacity application process only after the project has
returned a signed copy of this letter of understanding and aU of the information reqUired for Idaho
Power to file this application (see attached Transmission Capacity Application Questi.onnaire).
After filng a complete firm transmission capacity application with Delivery, Idaho Power wil receive
notification back from Delivery Within 30 days that: (a) ade.quate transmissìoneapacity is available for
this project without the need to construct upgrades; or (b) a transmission capacity system impact study
is required to determine the available transmission capacity and/or required upgrades; .or (c) a
statement of the required transmission upgrades and the associated costs. Idaho Power wil notify the
project of this response to the transmissi.on c!'pacity application in a timely manner after the response
is received from Delivery.
If the response from Delivery is as specified in item (a) (transmission capacity is avatlable), the
project wil be required to execute a purchase power agreement with Idaho POwer Within 30 days in
order to retain this transmission capacity reservation.
If the response from Delivery is, as specified in items (b) or (c) (stUdies reqUired and/or Upgrades
required), the project wil be required to execute a Network Resurce Integration Study Agreement
(sample copy attached for your information) and submit all required deposit or fees within 15 days
after receiving notification of this requirement in order for Idaho Power to continue the transmission
capacity request. This Network Resource integration Study Agreement wil specify that the project wil

Case Nos. IPC-E-10-61 & IPC-E-10-62
Allphin Affidavit, IPC
Page 3 of 10

be responsible for costs incurred by Idaho Power to perform any required studies. If, after the studies
are concluded the project wishes to continue the pursuit of transmission capacit, the project wil also
be responsible for all transmission system upgrade costs identified within the studies. The fees and
costs will be in the form of both initial deposits as well as actual costs. If at any time after executing
the Network Resource Integration Study Agreement the project does not pay any required fees, or
elects to stop the transmission study or upgrade process, the project shall be responsible for all costs
incurred by Idaho Power in performing the studies or upgrades up to the point of termination of the
Network Resource Integration Study Agreement.
Upon successful completion of the above described transmission capacitY upgrade process, a
transmission capacity reservation wil exist for this project. However, in order to. finalize this
transmission caPacitY reservation, a purchase power agreement with Idaho Power must be executed
no later than30 days after the transmission capacity upgrades are completed. If the purchase poWer
agreement is not executed by this deadline, the transmission capacitY reservation wil be released aM
this process wil have to be repeated jfthe projed later requests transmission capacitY.
As noted earlier, this tran.smission capacitY acquisitioriand assoc.lated Network Resource
designation must be comp.leted, at the minimumi 60 days prior to the project delivering any energy to
Idaho Power. In addition, the project must provide routine updates to Idaho Power of the expected
online date of the generation project to ensure Idaho Power is capable of accepting the energy from
the project on the actual date the project comes online.

Subjec: RE: QF contract reuest
Hi Randy,
Thanks for your quick response. As a follow-up (I also left you a VM), if we were to pursue a 60 MW OJ project, how is
the pricing determined? I~ it based on n.atural gas or coal avoided cost? Is there a range that you have been dealing with
I,ately. The CFO and I have been going back and forth about this-l think that the Q,F pricing would be north of $71/MW
and he thinks it is significan.tly less.
Also, the pricing, is it leveUzed and is there a component of time of day pricing?

They advised that they are required to provide an inftial response to an application within 30 days of r'Eèeivng the
"complete" application (if information is missing, etc the 30 days does not start until all required information is
subriitted). This initial response wil be in the form that transmission capacity is available or that it is not available and
additional studies are required. The applicant then has 15 days to act on the response received from the transmission

Subjec: RE: QF contract request
Christine, i am around all day today (Wednesday).
Idaho Power transmission - we can get the application flied within a couple weeks of when you supply all of the
required information and confirmation of the IA and BPA transmission. As far as how long i,t takes to get a response
back from our transmission group, they have some strict FERC guidelines they must adhere to and I believe they have 60
days to respond to the application. There response to the application may very well be that they must perform system
impact studies to determine if there is transmission. If this is the case, then more time is needed to get transmission
answers.
I wil double check on these time lines and get bacho you this morning.
Project size - if it is determined that you are simply splitting up a single larger project into two smaller projects to take
advantage of the 10 average MW pricing, Idaho Power wil most likely not agree to sign these agreements as We believe
this is truly not the intent of this 10 average MW designation and is actually "gaming" the process. You wil be weltome
to take your case to the commission and we would then both abide by their ruling.

Christine,
Thanks for thIs information, some details (clarification) i need before I can start sorting out where we go from
here-
No question, the fact that your project is not in the Idaho Power serviçe territory creates a lot of complications,
5 Attachment No. 2
Case Nos. IPC-E-10-61 & IPC-E-10-62
Allphin Affidavit, IPC
Page 5 of 10
1. Raft River interconnection - you do have a completed interconnection ,agreement with Raft RiVer or with
SPA? No. bUt it is something we cán get in the next two weeks. If so what Is the nameplate rating contained
within that liiterconnectionagreement? We are grappling between one 10 Average MW project or two 20
MW project with a mile separation What is the estimated construction schedule etc of the
interconnection? Online date would be 1st quarter 2011
2. BPA transmission - you have not yet actually filed a transmission request with BPA? No Does the BPA
process require a non refundable deposit right from the start? I am verifying
3. Project size - utilmately, Idaho Power Power supply will need to request transmission capacitY for your
project from the Idaho Power transmission group (If you wish to sell your energ to Idaho P'Ower). To do this
we wil need to know the exact nameplate capacity of your planned project.
a. Back tQ' the chicken and egg. I know from past experience thi:t the Idaho Power transmlssion group
(FERC requìrements) wil require in the application for transmission cclpacity on the Idaho Power
system informcltion that the project has secured interconnection from the hQst utility (Raft river)
and that the project has verified with the transmitting entity(s) (BPA) that firm transmission for the
full nameplate rating is available to the Idaho Power interconnection point before they wil even
accept an applicøtion requesting review of available transmissfon capacity on the Idaho Power
system,
4. PPA -Idaho Power wil not execute a PPA until the project is able to demonstrate that all three of the atrve
issues are resolved. That is the project does have an interconnection agreement and firm transmission
capacity is available and reserved on both the BPA and Idaho Power transmission sYstem to get the energy
from the project to Idaho POwer customer I.oads.
a. One of the key items in any PPA Idaho Power wil sign wil be thc1t the project is required to post
security of approximately $4$ per KW (nameplate -10 IVW nameplate would equal $450,000) at
the time the contract is signed and if the project does not begin deliveries of .energy to Idaho Power
within 90 days of the estimated online date, the project will forfeit dami:ges tQ Idaho Power equal to
the $45 per KW, Delays in interconnection. unavailabilty of finn transmission,. etc are not relief
from performance within the agreement, Therefore as you can see, even if Idaho Power were able
to sign a PPA prior to having the interconnection and transmission capae:ity seciired, there is
tremendous fil'ancial risk your project would be e)(posed to ifthe interconnection and transmission
capacity is nOt resolved prior to signing a PPA,
b. Energy price and potential chi:nges -I haVe also heard rumors thc1t the cQmmission may possibly be
changing the PURPA published c1voided cost rates. Idaho PQwer wil have no choiceb.ut to adhere
to any new orders issueci by the commission at the time the orders become effective.
No black and white answers. and I realize the answers to my questions may be in your letter. but I want to be absolutely
sure of the answers to these questions before I continue working these issues over with the appropriate experts.

Dear Mr. Allphin,
Wasatch Wind Int.ermountain would like to request that Idaho Power commence Power Purchase Agreement
negotiations with oUr subsidiary, Grouse Creek Wind Park, LLC for .elther a 10 Average MW or something less
than 80 MW Qualifying Facilty under PURPA. We believe we have completed the necessary due dilgence to
move forward with Idaho Power.
The project, in Northwestern Utah on private land, is unique in that we interconnect to a Raft River Electric
line that is leased to Bonnevile Power Adminlstration. We recently signed the faciltY study agreement with
BPA and expect to have an executed interconnection agreement with Raft River Electric by June. We (Jre
currently working with Idaho Power to determine its requirements because they are the balancing authority.
Due to the project's location on private land, there is no requirement for a NEPA analysis. However.. WWI has
conducted two years of wildlife surveys. We have had two met towers up for about two years. We hold the
land lease with the private landowner where the wind farm is located and we are in final negotiations with the
landowner where the transmission line wil be routed. The miltary has supported the project as long as the
intertie line is under 100 feet.
Having said all this, we understand that in order for you to view our project as serious and tender the Power
Purchase Agreement and to make the necessary Network Service request for this Qualifying Facility, Idaho
Power needs to be sure that we have the necessary transmission rights secured. BPA has maintained we wm
be able to make that transmission service request sometime next week. However, as you probably know,
when a deposit is made to secure firm point to point transmission and the request is approved, the
transmission is binding to WWI through the take or pay contract provision. Per your suggestion, WWI went
ahead and confirmed on OASIS to the best of our abilty that there is capacity from Minidoka Substation to
Treasure. Valley for Idaho Power to obtain the Network Service on behalf of our Qualifying Facilty. If there
truly is available ATC between these two points, we wil make our transmission service request.
We find ourselves in a chicken and egg dilemma by which, if we are wrong and there is no available ATt, we
have firm stranded transmission with no buyer. Here we sit, knowing that the pricing will change downwardly
by the end of March and we are desperate to know about the available ATC. We must act quickly, but at the
same time we must be prudent. Has this situation occurred during your time In this position? Do you see
that Idaho Power would move forward on a network service request on our behalf? Or is the only solution that
we make a TSR to Idaho Power between these two points and then if there is capacity, somehow withdraw
our request before it Is binding?
Any thoughts that you may have would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,

situation occurred during your time in this position? 00 you see that Idaho Power woliid
move forward on a network service request on our behalf?
Any thoughts that you may have would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,

Thanks for the information, I wil get a letter turned around to you.
Last we spoke you were not sure of the project size, if you are settling in on the 57 - 65 mW project I wil need to
develop energy prices for this project. The published prices apply to only projects that are 10 average MW or smaller.
To enable me to start running the pricing models we wil need at minimum estimated monthly energy shape from your
project (daily or hourly is even better).

RE: Wind generation data
Grouse Creek 12X242010.-..4_22IDPCO 2010..ß_13.xlsx
Hi Randy,
Attached is the 12X24 matrix with the total for all turbines. i am not sure how to address your concern about having
hours of the days with no winds. We simply took the data from our met towers, correlated it to historical wind data and
that 12X24 matrix came out. You wil see that in the summer months in some ofthe hours there is significantly little
winds, but at no time over the course of those hours in a month are they zero. I would be happy to walk you through
this should you have any questions.
Thanks,
Christine

Subjec: Wind generation data
Christine,
As we work through the model to create pricing for your project we have found that the data you previously
supplied does not get us the information we need to be able to run the pricing modeL.
In order to run our model, we need estimated hourly energy deliveries to Idaho Power for each day of at least
on full year and for the entire facilty. The data you previously supplied appears to be just data for one turbine and also
it indicates that the turbine wil generate every hour of every day. This does not seem realistic as I assume there wil be
hours when the wind is not blowing.
If you could please Itreply to all" to this e-mail your response and data wil also be routed to our team members
that are running the model so they can get working on things as soon as it is received
Thanks Randy

update
Hi Randy,
It may take us another week to get you the signed document for Grouse Creek, we need to hone in on a better COD date
and get with our consultants to help fill in the paperwork. I hope that is okay. When do you anticipate having the pricing
given the fact that we just got you, hopefully, the right data.
On another note, we are preparing to submit an interconnection application to ipea at a Wyoming wind project of ours
to the Jim Bridger Power Plant. I would assume we could work with you on a QF project in Wyoming that interconnects
directly into your system and save some of the hassles we have had with our Grouse Creek project? Also, do you believe
that ID Power wil be putting out any RFP's any time soon for wind? Here is a crazy question, I imagine that you won't
be backing down the Jim Bridger plant anytime soon!
Look forward to your answers.
Thanks.

RE: update
Numbers are crunching on the pricing, hope to have something early next week.
Wyoming - yes we own a share of Jim Bridger and the Bridger transmission lines. However, delivery of energy to Jim
Bridger is not considered delivery to our system. Mayor may not be easier, but we can work our way through things.
I am not aware of any immediate RFPs.
Does not make a lot of sense to back down a clean, base load, inexpensive coal plant. No question we have to consider
long term carbon issues, but at least no plans for immediate back downs.

RE: Proposed Grouse Creek Win Project
Ms. Mikll,
As we have been discussing, there ar stil some key transmission and interconnection issues
that your project wil nee to work through prior to Idaho Power being able to accept energy from
your proposed PURA project. i have provided you with a Letter of Understanding and associated
infonntion that must be completed to enable us to begin the transmission capacity request process.
In addition, a purchase power agreement wil nee to be agreed to, executed and approved by
the Idaho Public Utilities Commssion prior to Idaho Power purchasing any energy frm your
proposed project.
Proposed Energy pricing -
The Idaho Public Utilities Comnssion has established a ver specific process tht Idaho
Power is required to use to devlop a potential energy price to be paid to PUR A proj ects that are
larger than 10 average MW, Ths process requir that we input the estimated hourly energy from
your proposed projec into our economic system model (AURORA) to deterne the energy pricing
that can be offered to your specific project.
In reviewing the generation data you have provided we are fmding tht the capacity factor
appears to be much higher than what we have typically seen for this area. However at ths point we

Attchment No. 4
Case Nos. IPC-E-10-61 & IPC-E-10-62
Allphin Affdavit, IPC
Page 3 of 38
have input the data you have provided into our economic dispatch model (AURORA) and calculated
energy prices that would be available for your proposd wind project based on the generation data
you provided. Prior to formulizing these energy prices, we wil need to do additional review of the
estimated generation data you have provided.
The proposed energy pricing is contained in the attached pricing schedule.
Examples of how to read this schedule:
Energy delivered to Idaho Power in March of 2011 -
The price paid for energy delivered during Heavy load hours would be $34.21 per MWh
The price paid for energy delivered duing light load hours would be $28.86 per MWh.
Ener delivered to Idaho Power in July of2011 -
The price paid for energy deliverd during Heavy load hours would be $55.85 per MW
The price paid for energy delivered during light load hour would be $47.11 per MWh.
Ths letter is not a binding commtment from Idaho Power to purchase energy from your
project, only after aU interconnection an transmission capacity processes have been completed, a
purhase power agreeent has been executed by both parties and the agrent has been approved
by the Idaho Public Utilties Commssion wil an effective and binding commtment exist.
After your review of this data" if you wish to continue to pursue a PUR A purchase power
agrent with Idaho Power, please retu the previously provided Letter ofUndertimding and the
infonnation reuired so that we can bein the trnsmssion capacity review proes. It wil be
requir that prior to additional work being done on a potential purchase power agreement the
trnsmission capacity availabilty and/or required network upgrades be identifed and widerstood.
Please contact me at your convenience with any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Ae~'

Hey Randy,
I am just filling in the last of the information on the form you send June 2nd and anticipate scanning it tomorrow and
sending it to you with a hard copy to follow on Friday. Are you around to chat tomorrow? Also, i wonder if it would
make sense to meet you in person sometime.
Are you around in a couple of weeks?
Thanks!

RE: Letter of Undertanding
Proposed Grouse Creek Wind Project
Chrsti,
In our conversations and e.mals we have bee discussing your proposed Gruse Cree Wind
projec an the process to sell energy to Idaho Power under a PURA agrent. The latest
discusions have been around the BPA trasmission requireients. as it appears we now have a pretty
good unerstanding of the interconnection status and potential BP A solutions we need to put into
motion the process of documting the various reuirments, detemning Idaho Power transssion
system capacity and ultimately begin negotiations of a PURA purchse power agrmet. Much of
the process identified in this letter we have already discussed and/or has bee provided to you via e-
mail.

A$ your proposed Grouse Creek Wind Project is: a) not within the Idaho Power service
terrtory an b) it wil be physically internnecting to a utility other than Idaho Power ("host utilty")
and c) wil need to arrange for transmission of the project's energy to Idaho Power across the other
utiities syste and the BPA trnsmission system ("transmitting entities" creates additiona steps and
complexities in orde for the project to sell ener to Idaho Power under a PUR A agrement.
Summrized below is a brief outline of the purhase power agreement, inteconnection process
and transmission capacity requirements that are applicable to your proposed generation project. This
summary is intended to provide geeral infurntion and steps required to enable this pi"Oject to
potentially be able to deliver energy to Idaho Power under a potential PURA agreement. Prior to
Idaho Power accepting any energy from tms project a PUR A agreement must be agreed to and
executed by both parties and also the Idalio Public Utilities Commission (IPUC) must approve any
PURA agreemet executed betwee U1e parties prior to it being binding and effective.
Purchase Power Agreement
The projec you have described appers to be eligible for a purchase power agremnt under the
gudelines for a QualifYing Facilty as defned by the Public Utilities Reguatory Policies Act of 1978
(PURA). At the time you ar ready 10 preed WiU1 a purcha power agent for ths project,
an U1e prject has completed the requiemets specified below Idaho Power wil prepare a drft
purchase power agreement that complies with U1e current rules and reglations that gover these
PURA agreeents, any draft purhase power agreements previously provided to you for review
must be update to include cUlTent rules and regulations.
As we have discused, as your propoed project is greater than 10 iiverage MW. the published
avoided cost energy pricing is not applicable to your project. Instead. there are specific IPUC rules
and order that specify that Idao Power must calculate a specific energy price for your proposed
project by usin an economic system dispatch model (AURORA) that Idaho Power uses in its
resur plann proces. You have preiously provided th basic energy shape from your project
and we are populatig the model with this energy sha and runnng U1e model to determie U1e
approriate energy price.
Prior to Idaho Power executing a purchase power agrement it wil be reuired that you have:
1.) Provided documentation that substantiates that the project has filed for intetconnection
wiU1 the bost utilty and is in compliace wiU1 any payments and/or other
requiremnts speified in the internnection proces for this project and;
2.) Received and accepted an interonnection feasibilty study for tl projec an;
3.) Retrned a signed copy of this letter of understanding and all of tbe reuire
informtion to enable Idaho Power to tie an application requesting trnsmission
capacity on the Idaho Power electrical system for this project. Completion of the
enclosed Transnussion Capacity Application Questionnaire wil provide the majority
of this infonnation and;
4.) Confintion that tlie results of the initial trasmission capacity application are known
and the projec accepts these reslts and intes to contiue with the deveJopment of
the project including. if applicable, execution of a Network Resour Inegration
Study Agrement in the fonn enclosed herein.

Intercnnon and Transs§ion CapacitY
Your project wil be responsible for all costs of physically intercolUiecting the projec to the host
utilty and the Idaho Power electrical syste and any costs associated with acquirin adequate fin
traiiion capacty on the Idaho Power trai:misson system to enble the projects energy to be
delive to Idaho Power customes.
Inte~sciion
Your project will be reuir to complete the interconnecion proces and execute an
appropriate interconntion agreeent with the host utilty. This interconnectioii
agreement wil nee to be in substantially the same foim as Idaho Power's Generation
Internnection Ageement ("GIN').
Tragsion Capacit)(
To sell your prjec's enrgy to Idaho Power, your project must be designated as a
Netork Resource (CCDNR").
In order for tls project to achieve DNR status,
a.) The project must acquire fiim trnsmission frm aU transmitting entities required
to deliver the projects maximum capacity rating to a specifc physical point of
delivery on the Idaho Power electrical system for the full ten of the purchase
power agrement an;
b.) Idaho Power is required to make a request (complete and fie an application) and
be grnted finn transmission capacity on the Idaho Power transmission system
&on1 the Idaho Power delivery business unt ("Delivery") to move your project's
ener from the physical point of delive to Idaho Power customers an;
c.) In accordance with various 111es and regulations, the projec must be grnted
DNR stas no later thn 60 days prior to the project delivering any energy to
Idaho Power.
Idah Power wil begin ths Idaho Power fiim trnsmission capacity application
process only after the project ha return a sign copy of this letter of undertanding
and all of the information require for Idaho Power to fie this application requesting
fiim transssion capacity on the Idaho Power electrcal system (see attached
Trasmission Capacity Application Questionnair).
Afer fiing a complete fir transmission capacity application wit Deliver, Idaho
Power wil reeive notification back from Delivery within 30 days tht: (a) adequat
transmission capacity is available for ths project without the nee to constrct upgrdes;
or (b) a trnsmission capacity system impact study is requir to determine the available
Ida Power transmission capacity and/or required upgrades; or (0) a statemnt of the

RE: Proposed Grouse Creek Wind Project
Christine,
Thanks for this information, I have been looking it over and making our preparations to make the transmission capacity
request on the Idaho Power system. I expect that the transmission group will not accept our request without more
detail and/or assurance that the BPA transmission is available from your project to the point of delivery on the Idaho
Power system.
I know we have discussed this quite a bit - but could you send me a write up in regards to the availabilty of the BPA
transmission capacity. If possible, include as much reference to your actual filngs in the BPA process and status. Clearly
the best solution would be to be able to state that BPA transmission capacity is available and the project has rights to it.
Another note - on the interconnection section you state that the Facility study is due the end of June. i would assume
then that a Feasibilty study is already complete and you have accepted the results of that study - could you send me
your answer to this also in written form (basically an answer to item F of on the transmission questionnaire)
Thanks Randy

RE: Proposed Grouse Creek Wind Project
BPA Feasibility study. pdf
Hi Randyi
I just left you a message. In short, we have three golden eagle nests within about .5 miles from some of our turbines.
After meeting with USFW service recently, it looks like to mitigate impacts to golden eagle populations we wil have to
have greater setbacks between golden eagles and the turbines, Le. drop turbines because the land is constrained. Based
on this, it appears that we wil need to discuss with you changing our initial request to a 10 MWA request. Is this
something that is easy for you to rerun, or do you anticipate that it wil result in the same answer? I know that when we
spoke some time ago that you suggested that the new natural gas pricing would mean the 10 MWA and less than 80
MW PPA prices would be about the same. I think you had guessed that the pricing would be about $70/MWh. Since the
pricing is at $55/MWh for the larger QF, I thought perhaps there was stil that price disparity.
We would like to discuss with you the option to build one 10 MWA QF and possibly another 21 MW's at a later date. We
plan to make a transmission service request to BPA for 30 MW's and possibly another 21 MW's. Based on our
interconnect studies and conversations that we have had with BPA (not to mention the analysis that we presented to
you that BPA gave us), there are 93 MW's available on that line to the Minnidoka substation.
The feasibilty study is completed and attached and yes we acknowledged/accepted the results of that study.

Christine,
Thanks for this information, I have been looking it over and making our preparations to make the transmission capacity
request on the Idaho Power system. I expect that the transmission group wil not accept our request without more
detail and/or assurance that the SPA transmission is available from your project to the point of delivery on the Idaho
Power system.
I know we have discussed this quite a bit - but could you send me a write up in regards to the availabilty of the BPA
transmission capacity. If possible, include as much reference to your actual filngs in the SPA process and status. Clearly
the best solution would be to be able to state that BPA transmission capacity is available and the project has rights to it.
Another note - on the interconnection section you state that the Facilty study is due the end of June. I would assume
then that a Feasibilty study is already complete and you have accepted the results of that study - could you send me
your answer to this also in written form (basically an answer to item F of on the transmission questionnaire)
Thanks Randy

i. Introduction
This report is the Generation Interconnection FeasibiliLy Study (IFES) addressing local
interconnection requirements for the GroU$ Creek Wind Project (Project). This project is being
developed by Wasatch Wind LLC. The Projce is listed as requcst No. G0326 in the Bonncvi1c
Power Administration Transmission Services' (BPA-TS) OASIS queue for interconnection of
generation.
The Project as proposed is alSO MW wind genertion facilty. whìth wiUbc built in twophase.
The first phase wìH consist of 100 MW with an enc . tion datp.~llc 20 to, an the seeond
phase wil consist of 50 MW with an encrgi of ~ir 20 i O. This Feasibilty
Study is performed to address the follo~ìdg ,': 'p"
"~, "t-
a) IdentHy facilities reqiiiièd O:lliitlie'nPA system for the proposed interconnection;
i. ",.
b) Provide non-bi!?,!iri'gi'gÓ~d-faith estimated cost ofBPA required facilities; and
c) Provide a non-binding good- fàith estimated schedule for implementation of BPA
required facilities.
The Points Of Interconnection (POI) addressed in this study include BPA-TS's Bridge I 38-kV
Substation and a new switch station looped into the Bridge-West Wendover I 38-kV transmission
line, just south oflynn, Utah.
The tecbnical study results includ ~ tli~tl~a~l\ie for interconnection only.
Technical studies for trans niee .fOl deH'very of output beyond the point of
interconnection are not includ ~~ísñiission servce for delivery beyond the point of
iutercounection mnst be requ~ 1índ arrnged for separately.
',\,f;
These studies were C6fiâ'bèted using the best available information at the time of the study.
Findings and recommendations are based on assumptions, which could cbange. Bonnevile
reserves the right to modify the conteiit in this report as necessary with pertinent
justification.
2. Conclusions and Recommendations
The JFES study supports the interconnection of up to 33 MW of generation, with a protective
remedial action scheme, into the Bridge 138 kV Substation as indicated on the Preliminary
Sketch in Attachment A. This capacity is based 011 existing and planned facilities in the arca.
including generation interconnection requests preceding the Grouse Creek Wind Project in BPA-
TS's OASIS interconnection queue. The generation that can be supported by the system in the
area is limited by the potential for overloads during all lines in-service conditions on the
Minidoka PH-Bridge 138 kV, which serves as the only transmission path for generation south of
Minidoka. Single line outages in the area could potentially reduce the available capacity further

to 3 MW. This limitation can be mitigated by installng a Remedial Action Scheme to trip
Grouse Creek Wind. The capacity ofthc system is subject to Generation Interconnection
requests 00245, G0246, G0247, and 00248, and could increase if these projects were withdrawn
from the interconnection queue. In this scenario, up to 93 MW of generation could be
interconnected.
The study also supports the proposed interconnection of up to 33 MW onto the Bridge-West
Wendover 18.kV transmission line. The system capacity for this interconnection option wil be
subject to summertime limitations and generation resources preceding the Wasatch Wind Project
in BPA-TS's Interconnection Queue in the samc way as the Bridge 138-kV interconnection. Thc
BPA-TS recommendcd plan of service is to build a p.ew 3-brcakcr l38-kV substation as
indicated on the Preliminary Sketch in Attaehinentß. '." ,,;", \'1. ...$;~Y'

Wasatch Wind will coordinate wíth the Bureau of Reclamation to ensure that the breakers and
other statìon equipment at Minidoka are adequate to support the new generation on the Minidoka
PH-Bridge line.
Non-binding good faith estimated costs have been developed for fqF different interconnection
options. These costs are based on similar projccls, ;4~d include high voltage
equipment, controls, meter. and comml,i:l / rhead costs. The cost for
interconnection at the Bridgc i ¥,SU requests 00245, G0246. G0247. and
00248 interconnect into the 'M'p inc is $3.3M. If these projects are withdrawn
the cost for interconnection at th i¡t38 kY substation is $4M. The cost for
interconnection 011 the Bri Wendover 138 kV line assuming requests G0245. G0246.
G0247, and G0248 into the Minidoka PH-Bridge lìne is $13.2M. Ifthese projects
arc withdrawn the interconnection on the Bridge-West Wendover line is $14.6M. The
estimated ti11clinc for completion of this project is 18-24 months following NEPA clearance.
3. Interconnection General
This feasibilty study report addresses two possible points of interconnection. The first is at
Bridge 138- kV Substation, the second is a new substation along thc Bridge-West Wendover
I 38-kV transmission linc. Existing and planned facilties as well as interconnection requcsts
preceding this project in BPA-TS's OASIS queue were included in the study. Two projects that
have an impact on this project are U.S Geothem1al, and Generation Request numbers 00245,
G0246, 00247, and G0248 (G0245-G0248). u.s, Geothennal is an existing 36 MW resource
interconnected to BPA-TS's Bridge Substatl0n. G0245.G0248 arc for four 20 MW wind
resources (for a total of 80 MW) that have requested interconnection at the Idahome Substation,

This project lies within the Idaho Power Company Control Area. As such it is the responsibilty
of thc developer to make agreements with Idaho Power regarding thcir network and AGe
(Automatic Generation Control) requirement... Additional hardware and communications
functions may be required over and above those requirements stated in this study.
3.1 Interconnection at the Bridge Substation
The first alternative interconnection. Option IA. to the aPA~rS system ìs at Bridge 138 kV
Substation. The pOint of intercoMectioii wiJinclude a new i 38-kV temlJntl at Bridge
Substation, The work at the terminal includes a cireuit breker. three switches and asiat~
relaying and controls. A more detailed analysis of the substation work wil be çoinlete in the
hitercoMectÎOn Facilty Study. At this time, the MinidokaPH-Bridgc 138 leV ininsmisliotl line

Wasatch Wind wil be responsible for installing a 36 fiber, fiber-optic cable between the 138 kV
generation project step-up substation (Collector Substation) and Bridge Substation. BPA-TS
requires the exclusive use of 12 fibers. The Collector Substation shall include space in the
control building for all BPA-TS equipment, for options that require it. in addition to Wasatch

affected transmission systems.
3.2 Interconnection on Bridge-West Wendover 138.kV Line
The second alternative, Option 2A, point of interconnection is along the Bridge-West Wendover
i 38-kV Line. The point ofinterCOllnectÍon would be approximately 36 miles Oiit from the
Bridge Substation towards West Wendover. The work at the New POI Substation (ncar Lynn,
Utah) includes a 3-breaker ring bus. associated relaying and controls, control house. and
communications equipment. A more detailed analysis of the substation work will be completed
in the Interconnection Facilty Study. It is assumea klh . 'Wil be responsible for

A variation on the interconnection at the New POI Substation, Option 2B, occurs in the event
that the G0245-G0248 do not interconnect into Idahome Substation. The maximum peak level
of generation at Grouse Creek Wind Project in this scenario would be limited to 93 MW. which
is less than the requested iso MW, and subject to the same remedial aq~on schemes as described
for the Option 2A 33 MW peak generation leveL. Iit. ,rHon to ,\i~lirements for Option 2A,

use of 12 fibers, Wasatcp,,'l'¡Ôdshall include space in the control building at Grouse Creek
Wind Collector Substatid'ìl for all BPA- TS equipment in Option 2B, in addition to Wasatch
Wind's needs. Also as mentioned in section 3,1 above, the Minidoka Powerhouse Substati()!,,
owned by the Bureau, is an old substation and it is likely that breakers and other station
equipment may need to be upgraded to support uic new generation.
For Options 2A and 2B, Wasatch Wind needs to contact ipe sinee the gciicration is located in
IPe's load control area and they are one of the affected transmission systems.
3.3 Network Resource Interconnection Service
The LGIP defines Network Resource Interconnection Service as Interconnection Service that
allows the lnterconnection Customer to integrate its large Gcnerating Facility with the
Transmission Provider's transmission system in a manner comparble to that in which the
Transmission Provider would integrate new generating facilities to serve nntive load customers.OFFICIAL USE ONLY .)

FERC has stated that the Interconnection Customer may designate their large Generating Facility
as a Network Resource any time before the Commercial Operation Date (COD). Further. the
LGIP states that Network Resource In,terconncction Servic~ does not convey in iud of itslf
transmission service. A new or existing Network Customer of the TransmissIon Provider must
fie a Transmission Service Request to designate the Large Generating facilty as a Network
Resource. Once the interconnection Customer has obtained Network Reurce Interconntion
Service, requests for network Integration Transmission Service from the Generating Facility to
points inside the Transmission Provider's transmission system will not require additional
interconnection studies or additional upgrades. However. requests for delivery service inside the
Transmission Provider's transmission system may require additional studies and upgrades if they
are necessary to reduce congestion to acccptablt¡ levels.

6.4 Interconnection at Bridge
With all other generation sources operating at peak Icvel including requests covered by 00245.
00246.00247. and 00248, dlling summertime low load hours, the introduction of more than 33
MW (Option lA) of generation interconnected at the Bridge I 38-kV Substation causes
overloading on the Minidoka Powerhouse-Bridge 138-kV transmission line. This ovcrload is
exacerbated by the loss of either the Brídge-Curlew or Bridge-Wendover I 38-kV lines.
However. even during the worst coiitingency, the line would be able to SUppoit up to 3 MW
interconnected at Bridge. In order to safely interconnect 33 MW of generation. a remcdial action
scheme (RAS) will need to be implemented to drop excess generation in case the line overloads.
In the event that the requests in the queue, 00245, 00246, 00247, and 00248, ahead of Wasatch
Wind's request were withdrawn for some reason, tlewerconl1 ø;cßould accommodate up to
93 MW of generation composed of two incrc~Wtrt MW (Option 1 B). During
summertime low load hours, the inir()d,~cti9n \1 nio~~ MW of generation interconnected
at the Bridge J 38-kV Substation,~~esÔvc hitn the Minidoka Powerhouse-Bridge 138-
kV transmission line. This overldád is .~, d by the loss of either the Bridge-Curlew or
Bridge-Wendover i 38-kV lines. ~Wevcr, even during the worst contingency, the line would be
able to support up to 63 I'vl,¥.iriærconnected at Bridge. In order to sa.fèly interconnect 93 MW of
generation, a remcdiahnêtióri scheme (RAS) will need to be implemented to drop excess
generation in case the line overloads.

level including requests eovered by 00245, 00246, 47, and ~S, (Option 2A) during

RE: Proposed Grouse Creek Wind Project
Christine,
I am buried today and traveling Monday.
Lets break this down into two parts-
PPA - if you are less then 10 average MW, the project wil qualify for the published avoided cost rates contained in IPUC
order 31025. No pricing runs on my part required. There are some seasonality and HL and LL factors that are applied to
the prices within that order. In addition, the contract is pretty standard, very little negotiation by either part as the
contract is pretty well established by numerous commission orders.
Transmission - my process to file for the transmission capacity request is no different whether you are 10 MW or 69
MW. However, the application we file wil contain a single maximum capacity number. Currently the information you
provided me was for 69 MW, please send me a new information page with your new size.
The feasibilty information is exactly what I needed for that piece.
BPA capacity - sorry if I overlooked the previous information you sent, but could you resend the information
with a summary cover letter.
Future projects - we could not agree to anything today, have to deal with future projects at the time you propose them.
Thanks Randy

Hi Randy,
i just left you a message. In short, we have three golden eagle nests within about .5 miles from some of our turbines.
After meeting with USFW service recently, it looks like to mitigate impacts to golden eagle populations we wil have to
have greater setbacks between golden eagles and the turbines, i.e. drop turbines because the land is constrained. Based
on this, it appears that we wil need to discuss with you changing our initial request to a 10 MWA request. Is this
something that is easy for you to rerun, or do you anticipate that it wil result in the same answer? i know that when we
spoke some time ago that you suggested that the new natural gas pricing would mean the 10 MWA and less than 80
MW PPA prices would be about the same. I think you had guessed that the pricing would be about $70!MWh. Since the
pricing is at $55!MWh for the larger QF, i thought perhaps there was stil that price disparity.
We would like to discuss with you the option to build one 10 MWA QF and possibly another 21 MW's at a later date. We
plan to make a transmission service request to BPA for 30 MW's and possibly another 21 MW's. Based on our
interconnect studies and conversations that we have had with BPA (not to mention the analysis that we presented to
you that BPA gave us), there are 93 MW's available on that line to the Minnidoka substation.1 ~~~~~4Case Nos. IPC-E-10-61 & IPC-E-10-62

Christine,
Thanks for this information, I have been looking it over and making our preparations to make the transmission capacity
request on the Idaho Power system. I expect that the transmission group wil not accept our request without more
detail and/or assurance that the BPA transmission is available from your project to the point of delivery on the Idaho
Power system.
I know we have discussed this quite a bit- but could you send me a write up in regards to the availability of the BPA
transmission capacity. If possible, include as much reference to your actual filngs in the BPA process and status. Clearly
the best solution would be to be able to state that BPA transmission capacity is available and the project has rights to it.
Another note - on the interconnection section you state that the Facilty study is due the end of June. I would assume
then that a Feasibilty study is already complete and you have accepted the results of that study - could you send me
your answer to this also in written form (basically an answer to item F of on the transmission questionnaire)

RE: 10 MW PPA--update
Christine, no I have not yet been able to submit the TSR. Been getting buy in from various people, looks like I wil
probably be filng the TSR sometime next week.
I am not sure what process you are referencing in your e-mail.
This is transmission capacity we are asking for not interconnection. The way it wil work we file the Transmission service
request (TSR) if there is transmission capacity available, we will get a response back saying so and any associated costs.
If there is not transmission capacity available we wil get a response back saying so and if we want to move forward they
wil begin a transmission study that requires a $10,000 deposit to start. Then once this study is started, I assume they
have various meetings etc to work in the right direction. As a PURPA project you wil be responsible for all of the costs
($10,000 deposit etc).
So at least to start with, once I get approval to file the TSR, it is paperwork we have to fil out with your information and
then wait for the transmission groups response.
Hope this helps

Hi Randy,
i just wanted to check to see if you had gotten the approval to make the TSR for our Grouse Creek projects? If memory

We have started some expensive eagle studies and we would hate to get too far into it and find out there isn't any

Hi Randy,
Great news that you wil be able to file something maybe next week. Based on your response below, is it 30 days from
when you submit the TSR before you get your answer regarding transmission capacity and whether you need a
feasibility study?

21 or 30 MW?
Christine, I am making some progress on the transmission requests, however the first questions I encountered was if the
project would be 21 or 30 MW. As you included both applications in your package I had assumed you were not sure at
time you submitted this information. Do you have any updated information?
If you are stil unsure, probably be best to submit for the 30 MW, if this is available would be logical that 21 MW would
be available.

RE:210r30MW?
Christine -I guess I read things wrong - this information is now suggesting is two separate projects (20 MW and a 31
MW) for a total of 51 MW?
You are suggesting they are two separate 10 average MW projects. In prior information you have suggested a capacity
factor over 40%, if this is the case the 30 MW would not qualify for a 10 MW average project and even the 21 MW
project would be questionable, based on the previous data you provided.
Do the projects qualify as separate facilties? Individual QF certificates from FERC? At least physically a mile apart?
Unfortunately this size and number of projects continues to cause delays and complications in the transmission capacity
request-
If they are truly separate projects - which one do you want me to file for first? (there may be room for one but not the
other)
If we get approval for one and/or both as separate projects, but then find out they must be combined into one project
we will have to re file for transmission as the two filings cannot be combined into one at a later time.
To do this right the first time, we need to determine if they are separate projects. Even if they are separate projects do
they qualify for the 10 average MW contract?
Based on the information you have provided, it appears they are the same project (same project location, same
interconnection, same BPA capacity reservation etc). If this is the case, then I need to file one 51 MW transmission
request and we wil need to rerun the pricing models to determine the energy pricing.

RE: 21 or 30 MW ?
Based on the previous production data you provided, the 31 MW project does not qualify for the 10 average MW
contract, and the 20 MW project is questionable?
Was the previously provided production data accurate - if so we need to rerun pricing models, the price wil most likely
be similar to the previous pricing I provided are the projects viable at those prices?
If the previously provided data was not accurate, the previous provided pricing may not be accurate.
If they are viable, which transmission request should 1 submit first?

You are suggesting they are two separate 10 average MW projects. In prior information you have suggested a capacity
factor over 40%, if this is the case the 30 MW would not qualify for a 10 MW average project and even the 21 MW
project would be questionable, based on the previous data you provided.
Do the projects qualify as separate facilties? Individual QF certificates from FERC? At least physically a mile apart?
Unfortunately this size and number of projects continues to cause delays and complications in the transmission capacity
request-
If they are truly separate projects - which one do you want me to file for first? (there may be room for one but not the
other)
If we get approval for one and/or both as separate projects, but then find out they must be combined into one project
we wil have to re file for transmission as the two filngs cannot be combined into one at a later time.

To do this right the first time, we need to determine if they are separate projects. Even if they are separate projects do
they qualify for the 10 average MW contract?
Based on the information you have provided, it appears they are the same project (same project location, same
interconnection, same BPA capacity reservation etc). If this is the case, then I need to file one 51 MW transmission
request and we wil need to rerun the pricing models to determine the energy pricing.

Christine, I am making some progress on the transmission requests, however the first questions I encountered was if the
project would be 21 or 30 MW. As you included both applications in your package I had assumed you were not sure at
time you submitted this information. Do you have any updated information?
If you are stil unsure, probably be best to submit for the 30 MW, if this is available would be logical that 21 MW would
be available.

Was the previously provided production data accurate - if so we need to rerun pricing models, the price wil most likely
be similar to the previous pricing I provided are the projects viable at those prices?

Christine - I guess I read things wrong - this information is now suggesting is two separate projects (20 MW and a 31

You are suggesting they are two separate 10 average MW projects. In prior information you have suggested a capacity
factor over 40%, if this is the case the 30 MW would not qualify for a 10 MW average project and even the 21 MW
project would be questionable, based on the previous data you provided.
Do the projects qualify as separate facilities? Individual QF certificates from FERC? At least physically a mile apart?

Unfortunately this size and number of projects continues to cause delays and complications in the transmission capacity
request-
If they are truly separate projects - which one do you want me to file for first? (there may be room for one but not the
other)
If we get approval for one and/or both as separate projects, but then find out they must be combined into one project
we wil have to re file for transmission as the two filings cannot be combined into one at a later time.
To do this right the first time, we need to determine if they are separate projects. Even if they are separate projects do
they qualify for the 10 average MW contract?
Based on the information you have provided, it appears they are the same project (same project location, same
interconnection, same BPA capacity reservation etc). If this is the case, then i need to fie one 51 MW transmission
request and we wil need to rerun the pricing models to determine the energy pricing.

If you are stil unsure, probably be best to submit for the 30 MW, if this is available would be logical that 21 MW would

GrouseCreekQF1 indicpric_201 OJ _14.pdf; GrouseCreekQF2indicpric_2010_7 _14.pdf
Dear Randy,
I thought it would be helpful to provide you with an overview of our plans so that we can make progress toward
getting the 30 MW Grouse Creek Wind Park I and the 21 MW Grouse Creek Wind Park II up and running. My apologies
if our e-mail communications have been less than clear.
First please consider this a formal request for two separate, standard, non-Ievelized, under-ten-average-
monthly-megawatt, twenty year power purchase agreements. The projects wil be located in Northern Utah and wil
interconnect with Raft River Rural Electric Cooperative. Bonnevile Power Administration wil deliver the output to an
interconnection with your system at the Minidoka Substation in Southern Idaho.
The output from the two projects wil by physically limited such that neither project wil be capable of
generating more than ten average megawatts in any given month.
i understand that Idaho Power has a new process whereby a project must be designated as a network resource
prior to obtaining a power purchase agreement. i have enclosed a completed "Transmission Capacity Application
Questionnaire" to start Idaho Power's internal process to designate the two projects as network resources. I also
understand that this project may be located on a part of the Idaho Power system that requires upgrades to the
backbone transmission. Therefore I anticipate that there wil have to be a study to determine what upgrades our
projects will be responsible for. That said, i do not believe the study process should delay the submission of execution
ready power purchase agreements. With the substantial delay security being required in recent Idaho Power PPAs, the
risk of our project's failng to come on line due to transmission constraints is completely mitigated.
The expected on line date for the two projects is December 31, 2012.
Randy, I hope this is helpfuL. We are looking forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship with Idaho
Power Company.
Sincerely yours

Re: Wasatch Wind - Grouse Creek Wind Park
Dear Randy:
I write on behalf of my client, Wasatch Wind, regarding its request for a power purchase agreement
(PPA) for a quaifYing facilty (QF) under the Public Utilties Regulatory Policy Act of 1978
(PURP A) - the 21 megawat (MW) Grouse Creek Wind Park. As you know, Wasatch Wind has
been in contact with you and has provided Idaho Power with substatial amounts of informaton
regarding this PURP A project in its efforts to secure a PPA over the past few months. Furer, you
and I discussed issues related to interconnection and trsmission for this project on August 30,
2010.
As descrbed in more detail below, the project is in Northern Uta and will interconnect with the
Raf River Rural Electrc Cooperative. Wasatch Wind is aranging for an agreement to have
Bonneville Power Administation (BPA) deliver the output to Idaho Power's system at the
Minidoka substation. This QF project is, and has been, ready willng and able to obligate itself to a
PURP A PP A with Idao Power containing the standad rates, ter, and conditions approved by the
Idaho Public Utilities Commssion (Commission) to projects that will deliver under 10 average
monthly megawatts (aMW). Those terms include the daily and seasonality load shape pnce
adjustments (Order No. 30415), as well as the wind integration charge, mechaical availabilty
guantee, and wind forecasting and cost sharg provisions (Order No. 30488). The most reently
approved PURPA wind PPA contaning the applicable provisions is the Idaho Winds LLC PP A,
which is on file at the Commission in Case No. IPC-E-09-25, and could be used as a template.
I wrte this letter to clarfy Wasatch Wind's position on some issues of contention, or perhaps
simply misunderstanding, regarding this project, and to provide you with all the project specifc
inormation you should ne to complete a standar PURP A PP A under one cover.

Interconnectionlramission Request Processin
First, I need to address the trsmssion and interconnection application process. As we discusse
on Augut 30, 2010, Wasatch Wind has another nearby wind QF -the Grous Creek Wind Park 11-
that it plan to bring online in parlel with the Grouse Creek Wind Park. Thes projects will be at
leat one mile apar, will be separate QFs, and will be owned and operated by separate limited
liabilty companes (the Grouse Creek Wind Park LLC and the Grouse Creek Wind Park II LLC).
Wasatch Wind's position is that it is entitled to request separte PPAs and separate interconnection
argements for each project simultaneously, and to have the processes to obtan PPAs and
interconnection arangements for each project progress in parallel. You appeared to indicate that
Wasatch Wind may only submit, and/or Idaho Power will only process, one project's
interconnection application at a time. In other words, iff understood you correctly, Idaho Power
would have Wastch Wind submit a single interconnection/tranmission reuest for one project, and
then wait the six to nie months it may tae for completion of processing of tht request, pror to
even submitting/processin the request for the secnd project.
There is no basis in fact or law for imposing such a requirement on Wasatch Wind. Both projects
should proced though the interconnection/tranmission stdy process simultaeously, as Wasatch
Wind has requested. These are two separate QFs, sepaated by at least one mie, and, for power sale
and interconnection/transmission request purses, should be trated as two separte entities. If
those simultaneous studies reveal a transmission constraint, the project placed in the trmission
queue second wil then have to decide whether it will pay for any necessar upgrade, or make
another argement base on its poition at that time. It is simply unair to completely stal
progrss of one project whle studying transmission availabilty for the other project.
Wasatch Wind has submitted a trsmission capacity application for the Grouse Creek Wind Park
and Grouse Creek Wind Park II on August 19, 2010, in an effort to become a network resoW'e, and
hereby fonnally reiterates its reuest that the application be processed in parallel with the
application for the Grouse Creek Wind Park n. Failur to do SO would prejudice the rights of
Wasatch Wind and its affiliates of obtaining separate PPAs for these separate QFs.
It necessary to point out tht Idaho Power's unjustified actions have already delayed progress of
these two QF developments' efforts to arrange to wheel their output over BPA's system. This
year, BPA initiated a network open season (NOS) so that BPA could improve transmission
availabilty on its system for customers and relieve a backlog of requests. Wasatch Wind made
an NOS request in June 2010 in order to resere space for its Grouse Creek Wind Park and
Grouse Creek Wind Park II projects. This is around the same time that Wasatch Wind contacted
Idaho Power, and requested PPAs and transmission on Idaho Power's system. BPA's NOS
process included a requirement that Wasatch Wind post a perfonnance assurance amount of
$794,376 for these two QFs by August 18,2010. Wasatch Wind hope that by making the BPA
request concurently with its request to Idaho Power for PP As and trasmission that it would
obtain some sort of assurance from Idaho Power by August i 8 that its requests were being
processed. But because Idaho Power refused to make the trasmission request, Wasatch Wind
could not risk losing that large sum of money required for BPA's NOS, and had to pull out of
Attachment No. 7
Case Nos. IPC-E-10-61 & IPC-E-10-62
Allphin Affdavit, IPC
Page 3 of16
Mr. Allphin

Page 3
BPA's NOS. Subsequent to that, Wasatch Wind submitted two new Transmission Service
Requests to Idaho Power, as of August i 8, and has renewed its efforts with BPA.
Delay Default Liquidated Damages Security Provision
The other item that I need to raise at this time is that of a delay default liquidated damages
security provision. Wasatch Wind understads that Idao Power has recently begun requiring
delay default liquidated damages securty provisions in PURP A PPAs whereby the QF must post
a delay securty of $45/kw of nameplate capacity for the project, which sum Idaho Power would
retain as liquidated damages in the event the QF fails to achieve the PPA's online date. For this
21 MW project, such a provision would require the QF to post $945,000.
In Order No. 30608, the Commission stated that delay default liquidated damages security must
be a "fair and reasonable offset of a regulated utility's estimated increase in power supply costs
attributable to the PURPA supplier's failure to meet its contractually scheduled operation date."
The Commission's statement is consistent with Idaho law, which clearly prohibits use of
liquidated damages provisions when damages are easily estimated, or when such provisions are
punitive or designed to deter a breach of the contract. See Magic VaJ/ey Truck Brokers, Inc. v.
Meyer, 133 Idao 11 0, 117, 982 P.2d 945, 952 (Ct. App. 1999); i.e. § 28-2-718(1). Idaho
Power's actual damages caused by a QF's delay in achieving its online date would not be
difficult to calculate, and the amount of $45/kw is far in excess of the costs of replacement power
or administrative expenses Idaho Power may incur. A $45/kw liquidated damages clause is
simply not legal in Idaho and would be rejected by Idaho courts. And requiring a QF to post an
uneasonably high delay default security frustrates PURPA's mandatory purchase provisions.
Wasatch Wind wil not agree to a $45/kw delay security, unless the Commission orders that
amount is reasonable. Wasatch Wind intends to obligate itself at this time only to a PPA
requiring it to post no delay default security amount, or to any amount deemed reasonable by the
Commission if Idaho Power insists on a provision requiring Wasatch to post a delay default
liquidated damages security.
Project Information
For the remainder of this letter, I wil provide detailed infonnation regarding the Gruse Creek
Wind Park, available to you in one location for your convenience in completing the requested
stadard PPA. Please complete a stadard PPA for Wasatch Wind according to the information
provided below. Ifwe ar unable to resolve any remaining disagreement regarding the timing of the
interconnection/trsmission applications or the delay default liquidated damages security
provisions, Wasatch Wind requests that you provide a PPA containing all undisputed terms and
conditions, and that Idaho Power and the QF proceed to the Commission for a determination as
to any disputed terms. For any such disputed terms, Wasatch intends at this time to obligate
itself to a PPA containing the terms that the Commission ultimately concludes to be just and
reasonable.

(a) abilty to obtain QF status
As a wid generating facilty utilizing a renewable fuel source, the facility wil be a qualifying
facility as defined in 18 C.F.R. § 292.203(a) and (c).
(b) design capacity (M
This project will have a naeplate rating of21 MW, but under nonnal operating conditions in any
given month Wastch Wind's proposed design of the project will generate less th 10 aMW.
Specifically, Wastch Wind wil design the facilty in such a way tht the tubines switch to
maintenance mode, and thus cease generating electricity to be delivered to Idaho Power, if
production levels for a given month reach the 10 aM cap. The engineerig te wil do so by
adding some "logic" to the metering equipment. Once the output has reached a predetennined
level, the metering equipment will communicate with the control equipment and put the turbines
into maintenance mode. Monthly generation wil not exceed the 10 aMW cap, and Wastch
Wind wil provide appropriate engineering certification of this fact. Therefore, in accordance
with Commission Order No. 29632, Wasatch Wind agrees to a provision in the PPA providin tht
a cap on the maximum monthly generation that qualifies for published rates at the total
number of hours in the month multiplied by 10 MW.
The Commission has approved PURPA PPAs for projects with design specifications such as this in
the past. For example, in Order No. 30028, the Commission approved a PPA at the published rates
for a cogeneration facility with a design capacity of over 10M W because it would only generate 10
aMW in nonnal and/or average conditions based on data supplied by the QF. Likewise, Wasatch
Wind proposes to design the Grouse Creek Wind Park facilty as a QF that will deliver less than 10
aMW, and will provide appropriate certfication to Idao Power of that design speification.
I understand that Wasatch Wind's existing request for a PPA for ths project indicated the project
would have a nameplate capacity of 30 MW. Pleas consider that request amended to specify this
project will have a nameplate capacity of21 MW. Please also amend the Tranmission Capacity
Application Questionaire submittd on August 19,2010, accordingly. This decrease in naeplate
capacity should not present additional PPA or transmission problems and should not stall progrss
of the Idaho Power's prcessin of the PPA and transmission requests.
(c) generation technology and other related technology applicable to the site
The facility will be a wind generation project consistig of3.0 MW machines, whch wil be Vesta
V-I12 machines.
(d) proposed site location
The facilty will be located in Box Elder County, near Lyn, Uta. More speifically, Wasatch
Wind provides the followig legal description of the real propert associated with Grouse Creek
Wind Park:

Re: Wasatch Wind - Grouse Creek Wind Park II
Dear Randy:
I wrte on behalf of my client, Wasatch Wind, regarding its reuest for a power purchase agrement
(PPA) for a qualifying facility (QF) under the Public Utilties Regulatory Policy Act of 1978
(PURP A) - the 21 megawatt (MW) Grouse Creek Wind Park II. As you know, Wasatch Wind has
been in contact with you and ha provided Idaho Power with substatial amounts of information
regarding this PURPA project in its efforts to secure a PPA over the past few months. Furher, you
and I discussed issues related to interconnection and transmission for this project on August 30,
2010.
As described in more detail below, the project is in Northern Utah and will interconnect with the
Ra River Rural Electnc Cooperative. Wasatch Wind is arging for an agreement to have
Bonneville Power Admstration (BPA) deliver the output to Idaho Power's system at the
Minidoka substtion. Ths QF prject is, and has been, ready wiling and able to obligate itselfto a
PURP A PPA with Idao Power containing the standad rates, tens, and conditions approved by the
Idaho Public Utilities Commission (Commission) to projects that will deliver under 10 average
monthly megawatt (aM. Those tenn include the daly and seasonality load shape price
adjustments (Order No. 30415), as well as the wind integration chare, mechanical availabilty
guarantee, and wid forecasting and cost sharing provisions (Order No. 30488). The most recently
approved PURP A wind PPA containing the applicable provisions is the Idaho Winds LLC PPA,
which is on fie at the Commission in Case No. IPC-E-09-25, and could be used as a template.
I write this letter to clarfy Wasatch Wind's position on some issues of contention, or perhaps
simply misunderstading, regarding this project, and to provide you with all the project specific
information you should need to complete a standard PURP A PPA under one cover.

Interconoecüonfransmissioo Request Processing
Firt, I need to addrss the tramission and interconnection application process. As we discussed
on August 30, 2010, Wastch Wind has another neary wid QF - the Gruse Crek Wind Park -
tht it plans to bring online in paalel with the Gruse Creek Wind Park n. These projects will be
at lea one mile apar will be separte QFs, and will be owned and opemted by separte limited
liabilty companes (the Grouse Creek Wind Par LLC and the Grouse Crek Wind Park II LLC).
Wasatch Wind's position is tht it is entitled to request septe PPAs and separate interconnection
argements for each project simultaneously, an to have the processes to obtain PPAs and
interconnection argements for each project progrss in parlleL. You appea to indicate that
Wasatch Wind may Oiuy submit, and/or Idao Power will oiuy process, one project's
'intercnnection application at a time. In other words, if I understood you corrtly, Idaho Powe
would have Wasatch Wind submit a single interconnection/tramission request for one project, and
then wait the six to nine months it may tae for completion of prcessing of that request, prior to
even submittng/prcessing the request for the second project
There is no basis in fact or law for imposing such a requirement on Wash Wind. Both projec
should proceed though the interconnection/tranission study process simultaeously, as Wasath
Wind has requeted. These are two separate QFs, separted by at least one mile, and, for power sae
and interconnection/smission puroses, should be trated as two separte entities. If those
simultaeous stdies reveal a transmission constaint, the project place in the trsmission queue
second wil then have to decide wheter it will pay for any necessar upgrde, or make another
argement based on its position at that time. It is simply unair to completely stall progrss of one
project while studying trsmission avaiability for the other project.
Wasatch Wind has submitted a trsmission capacity application for the Gruse Crek Wind Park
and Grouse Creek Wind Park II on August 19, 20 I 0, in an effort to become a network resoure, and
hereby fonnally reitertes its request that the application be processd in parallel with the
application for the Grouse Creek Wind Park. Failure to do so would prejudice the rights of Wastch
Wind and its affilates of obtg separate PPAs for these separte QFs.
It necessary to point out that Idaho Power's unjustified actions have already delayed progress of
these two QF developments' efforts to arrge to wheel their output over BPA's system. This
year, BPA initiated a network open season (NOS) so that BPA could improve trsmission
availability on its system for customers and relieve a backlog of requests. Wasatch Wind made
an NOS request in June 20 lOin order to reserve space for its Grouse Creek Wind Park and
Grouse Creek Wind Park II projects. This is around the same time that Wasatch Wind contated
Idaho Power, and requested PPAs and transmission on Idao Power's system. BPA's NOS
process included a requirement that Wasatch Wind post a perormance assurance amount of
$794,376 for these two QFs by August 18, 2010. Wasatch Wind hoped that by making the BPA
request concurently with its request to Idaho Power for PPAs and transmission that it would
obtain some sort of assurance from Idaho Power by August 18 that its requests were being
processed. But because Idao Power refused to make the transmission request, Wasatch Wind
could not risk losing that large sum of money required for BPA's NOS, and had to pull out of
Attachment No. 7

Allphin Affdavit, IPC
Page 11 of 16
Mr. Allphin

Page 3
BPA's NOS. Subsequent to that, Wasatch Wind submitted two new Tranmission Service
Requests to Idaho Power, as of August 18, and has renewed its efforts with BPA.
Delay Default Liquidated Damages Seturity Provision
The other item that I need to raise at this time is that of a delay default liquidated damages
securty provision. Wasatch Wind understands that Idaho Power has recently begun requiring
delay default liquidated damages security provisions in PURP A PPAs whereby the QF must post
a delay security of $45/kw of naeplate capacity for the project, which sum Idaho Power would
retain as liquidated damages in the event the QF fails to achieve the PPA's online date. For this
21 MW project, such a provision would require the QF to post $945,000.
In Order No. 30608, the Commission stated that delay default liquidated damages security must
be a "fair and reasonable offset ofa regulated utility's estimated increase in power supply costs
attrbutable to the PURP A supplier's failure to meet its contractually scheduled operation date."
The Commission's statement is consistent with Idaho law, which clearly prohibits use of
liquidated damages provisions when damages are easily estimated, or when such provisions are
puntive or designed to deter a breach of the contract. See Magic Valley Truck Brokers, Inc. v.
Meyer, 133 Idaho 110,117,982 P.2d 945, 952 (Ct. App. 1999); I.C. § 28-2-718(1). Idao
Power's actual damages caused by a QF's delay in achieving its online date would not be
diffcult to calculate, and the amount of $45/kw is far in excess of the costs of replacement power
or administrative expenses Idaho Power may incur. A $45/kw liquidated damges clause is
simply not legal in Idaho and would be rejected by Idaho cours. And requiring a QF to post an
unreasonably high delay default security frstrates PURPA's madatory purhase provisions.
Wasatch Wind wil not agree to a $45/kw delay security, unless the Commission orders that
amount is reasonable. Wasatch Wind intends to obligate itself at this time only to a PPA
requiring it to post no delay default securty amount, or to any amount deemed reasonable by the
Commission if Idaho Power insists on a provision requiring Wasatch to post a delay default
liquidated damages security.
Project Information
For the remaider of ths letter, I wil provide detailed infonnation regarding the Grouse Creek
Wind Park II, avaiable to you in one location for your convenience in completing the requested
standad PPA. Please complete a stadard PPA for Wastch Wind according to the infonnation
provided below. Ifwe ar unable to resolve any remaiing disaeement regarding the timing of the
interconnection/transmission applications or the delay default liquidated damages security
provisions, Wasatch Wind requests that you provide a PPA containing all undisputed tenns and
conditions, and that Idaho Power and the QF proceed to the Commission for a detennination as
to any disputed tenns. For any such disputed terms, Wasatch intends at this time to obligate
itselfto a PPA containing the tenns that the Commission ultimately concludes to be just and
reasnable.

(a) abilty to obtain QF status
As a wind generating facilty utilzing a renewable fuel soure, the facilty will be a qualifYing
facility as defined in 18 C.P.R. § 292.203(a) and (c).
(b) desig capacit (MW)
This project will have a nameplate ratin of 2 1 MW, but under normal operating conditions in any
given month Wasatch Wind's proposed design of the project wil generate less than 10 aMW.
Specifically, Wasatch Wind will design the facility in such a way tht the turbines switch to
maintenance mode, and thus cease generating electricity to be delivered to Idao Power, if
production levels for a given month reach the 10 aMW cap. The engineering team wil do so by
adding some "logic" to the metering equipment. Once the output has reached a predetermned
level, the metering equipment will communicate with the control equipment and put the turbines
into maintenance mode. Monthly generation will not exceed the i 0 aMW cap, and Wasatch
Wind wil provide appropriate engineering certification of this fact. Therefore, in accordance
with Commission Order No. 29632, Wasatch Wind agees to a provision in the PPA providing tht
a cap on the maximum monthly generation that qualifies for published rates at the total
number of hours in the month multiplied by 10 MW.
The Commission has approved PURPA PPAs for projects with design specifications such as this in
the past. For example, in Order No. 30028, the Commission approved a PPA at the published rates
for a cogeneration facilty with a design capacity of over 10 MW because it would only generate 10
aMW in normal and/or average conditions based on data supplied by the QF. Likewise, Wasatch
Wind proposes to design the Grouse Creek Wind Park II facilty as a QF that will deliver less than
10 aMW, and will provide appropriate certification to Idaho Power of that design specification.
(c) generation technology and other related technology applicable to the site
The facilty will be a wind generation project consisting of3.0 MW machines, which will be Vest
V - i 12 machines.
(d) proposed site location
The facilty will be located in Box Elder County, near Lyn, Utah. More specifically, Wasatch
Wind provides the following legal description of the real property assoiated with Grouse Creek
Wind Park II:

Re: Wasatch Wind - Grouse Creek Wind Park LLC, Grouse Creek Wind Park II LLC, Sweeney Ranch
Wind Park I and Sweeney Ranch Wind Park II.
Dear Mr. Richardson:
Idaho Power has received your letters of October 1 and October 28, 2010, regarding Grouse
Creek Wind Park and Grouse Creek Wind Park II, as well as your October 20, 2010, letter
regarding Sweeney Ranch Wind Park I and II.
Your letters are obvious attempts to establish a writing that evidences: 1) your client's
projects are ready wiling and able at this time to sign PURPA FESAs and 2) that the reason
your client does not have executed PURPA FESAs at this time is somehow due to some
action or inaction of Idaho Power. Neither is correct.
Your letters purport to "agree" to the "standard" tenns and conditions contained in the Idaho
Winds LLC FESA from Case No. IPC-E-09-25. There are three primary problems with your
assertion. First, as you are well aware, the Idaho Winds FESA contains delay damage and
security provisions that your same letter objects to, and does not agree with. Second, as you
are also aware, the Idaho Winds FESA does not contain the most recent and up-to-date
"standard" tenns and conditions of a PURPA FESA that have been approved by the
Commission and third, all of these proposed projects are not within the Idaho Power service
terrtory, thus as the FESA you referenced is for a project within the Idaho Power serice
terrtory it would not be applicable without the changes to accommodate the off system
projects you are proposing. As you are aware from your representation of other PURP A
clients, Idaho Power wil not agree to a PURP A FESA that does not contain the $45 per kW
nameplate rating security and damage provisions. Delay liquidated damages provisions have

been included in PURPA FESA contracts approved by the Commission since at least 2007.
See, Case No. IPC-E-06-36. In addition, one of the tirst Commission approved FESAs to
contain terms requiring the project to post liquid security was the FESA for Cassia Giilch
Wind Park and Tuana Springs Energy, Case No. IPC-E-09-24. In thut case the Commission
approved provisions requiring the posting of liquid security in the amount of $20 per kW of
project cap acíty , The Commission considered and approved provisions providing for the
posting of liquid security in the amount of $20 per kW of project capacity in at least four
other PURPA FESAs. See, Case No. IPC-E-09-18, (PC-E-09-19, (PC-E-0920, (PC-E-09-25.
The Commission has since analyzed and approved provisions requiring the posting of liquid
security in the ~U110unt of $45 per kW of nameplate capacity in at least seven difterent
PURPA FESAs, some of which have been belonged to your clients. See, Case No. IPC-E-
10-02, IPC-E-IO-05, IPC-E-lO-15, IPC-E-1O-l6, IPC-E-IO-17, IPC-E-lO-18, IPC-E-IO-19.
In reviewing the infoimation you have provided in your letter regarding the interconnection
and transmission request process, there appears to be a misunderstanding with regard to the
infonnation that Idaho Power has provided. In none of the information provided or
conversations with Idaho Power has Idaho Power ever stated that only one of the projects
Transmission Service Request ("TSR") could be processed at a single time. Instead, the
discussions were about the fact that TSR' s are processed in the order they are received by the
transmission group. And if there is limited transmission capacity on a path, the first TSR
filed may be accepted with little or no uPbJfade cost whereas the second TSR filed may
encounter network upgrade costs as a result of the first request being allocated the available
transmission capacity.
As all of these proposed projects are not within the Idaho Power service territory and wil not
be directly connecting to the Idaho Power electrical system it is required that each project
complete the interconnection process with the host utility and also secure firm transmission
capacity across all required transmission paths to deliver energy to a point of delivery on the
Idaho Power electrical system. The idaho Power TSR process discussed above is the process
to determine if there is transmission capacity available only on the Idaho Power electrical
system from the point of delivery to the Idaho Power customer loads.
Grouse Creek r iind II projects -
In the previously provided information the projects have indicated that an Interconnection
Facility study has been completed for each project with the host utility and a finn
transmission reservation is not in place on the BP A system, however it appears the
projects have been working dilgently to secure transmission on the BPA system.
Prcvíously, Idaho Power had not fied TSRs for these projects due to the fàct that the
projects had not committed to the actual size and contìguration of the projects or the
sequencing they desired for the filing of these TSRs. In the letter dated October 1, 2010,
the project has requested the Grouse Creek Wind Park I be resized to 21 MW vs the
previous information that the project be sized at 30 MW. Based on this latest
information, Idaho Power wil fie TSR's for Grouse Creek Wind Park I for a nameplate
rating of 2 i MW and Grouse Creek Wind Park n for a nameplate rating of 21 MW - both

to deliver energy to the Idaho Power Minidoka substation making use of firm
transmission capacity on the BPA trsmission system.
Sweeny Ranch Wind Park I and II -
Your letter dated October 20, 20 lOis the first information you have provided to Idaho
Power in regards to these projects. In order to continue through the transmission and
FESA process a "Letter of Understanding" and the information requested within that
letter wil need to be completed and returned to Idaho Power. A Letter of Understanding
for each of these project has been included with this letter.
Prior to Idaho Power filing a TSR for these projects, the projects wil need to demonstrate
that, at minimum, an acceptable feasibilty study for interconnection with the host utilty
has been completed and provide evidence that firm transmission is available from all
required transmission providers to move the project's energy from the point of
interconnection to the Point of Delivery on Idaho Power's electrical system.
Thank you for providing the additional "detailed" information about your client's projects
that you have requested Idaho Power insert into the "standard" FESA for Wasatch Wind.
However, from your past dealings with the Company you are aware that this type of
information provided by the project developer about their project is typically inserted by the
project developer, and not by Idaho Power. Enclosed please find a generic draft PURPA
Wind agreement (no specific project information included) that contains the most recent and
up-to-date ..standard" terms and conditions that have been approved by the Commission and
the off system requirements. Please fill in the appropriate project specific factual information
required and return to Idaho Power. Idaho Power wil then generate a final, executable copy
for signatures.

Interconnection
Your project wil be required to complete the interconnection process and execute a
Generation Interconnection Agreement ("GIN') with the host utility.
Transmission Capacity
To sell your project's energy to fdao Power, your project must be designated as a
Network Resource ("DNR").
In order for this project to achieve DNR status -
The project must secur firm transmission capacity for the full nameplate capacity of
the project for a period of time not less than the term of any purchase agreement with
Idaho Power from all transmission providers between the project's point of
interconnection and the designated point of delivery on the Idaho Power electrical
system.
In addition - Idaho Power is required to make a transmission request (complete and
fie an application) and be granted finn transmission capacity from the Idao Power
delivery business unit ("Delivery") to move your project's energy from the designated
point of delivery on the Idaho Power electrical system to Idaho Power custoiners. In
accordance with various rules and regulations, the project must be granted DNR status
no later than 60 days prior to the project delivering any energy to Idaho Power.
Idaho Power wil begin this firm transmission capacity application process
(transmission capacíty on thc Idaho Power electrical system) only after the project has
returned a signcd copy of this letter of understanding, evidence of the interconnection
status, evidence of the required transmission agreements and all of the information
required for Idaho Power to me tlús application (see attached Transmission Capacity
Application Questionnaire).
After fiing a complete flrin transmission capacity application with Delivery, Idaho
Power will receive notitïcatìon back from Delivery within 30 days that: (a) adequate
transmission capacity is available for this project without the need to construct upgrades;
or (b) a transmission capacity system impact study is required to determine the available
transmission capacity and/or required upgrades; or (c) a statement of the required
transmission up¡,rrades and the associated costs. Idaho Power wil notify the project of
this response to the transmission capacity application in a timely manner after the
response is received from Delivery.
If the response from Delivery is as specified in item (a) (transmission capacity is
available), the project will be required to execute a ¡mrchase power agreement with
Idaho Power within 30 days in order to retain this transmission capacity reservation.
If the response from Delivery is as specified in items (b) or (c) (studies required
and/or upgrades required), the project wil be required to execute a Network Resource
Integration Study Agreement (sample copy attached for your intòrinatíon) and submit all

required deposits or fees wit1n 15 days after reeiving notification of this requirement
in order for Idaho Power to continue the trnsmission capacity request. This Network
Resource Integration Study Agreement wil speify that the project wil be responsible
for costs incurred by Idaho Power to perform any require studies. If, after the studies
are concluded the project wishes to continue the pursuit of transmission capacity, the
project wil also be responsible for all transmission system upgrade costs identified
within the studies. The fees and costs wil be in the form of both initial deposits as well
as actual costs. If at any time after executing the Netork Resource Integration Study
Agreement the project does not pay any required fees. or elects to stop the transmission
study or upgmde process, the project shall be responsible for all costs incurred by Idaho
Power in performing the studies or upgrades up to the point of termination of the
Network Resource Integration Study Agreement.
Upon successful completion of the above described transmission capacity upgrade
process, a transmission capacity reservation on the Idaho Power electrical system wil
exist tor this project. However, in order to finalize this transmission capacity
reservation, a purchase power agreement with Idaho Power must be executed no later
than 30 days after the transmission capacity upgrades are completed, If the purchase
power agreement is not executed by this deadline, the transmission capacity reseration
wil be released and this process will have to be repeated if the project later requests
transmission capacity.
As noted earlier, this transmission capacity acquisition and associated Network
Resource designation must be completed, at the minimum, 60 days prior to the project
delivering any energy to Idaho Power. In addition, the project must provide routine
updates to Idaho Power of the expected online date of the generation project to ensure
Idaho Power is capable of accepting the energy from the project on the actual date the
project comes online.

required deposits or fees within 15 days after receiving notification of this requirement
in order for Idaho Power to continue the transmission capacity request. This Network
Resource Integration Study Agreement wil specify that the project will be responsible
for costs incurrd by Idaho Power to perfonn any required studies. It: aftr the studies
are concluded the project wishes to continue the pursuit of transmission capacity, the
project wíl also be responsible for all transmission system upgrade costs identified
within the studies, The fees and costs wil be in the form of both initial deposits as well
as actual costs. If at any time after executing the Network Resource Integration Study
Agreement the project does not pay any required fees, or elects to stop the transmission
study or upgrade process, the project shall be l'esponsible for all costs incurred by Idaho
Power in performing the studies or upgrdes up to the point of terination of the
Network Resource Integration Study Agreement.
Upon successful completion of the above described transmission capacity upgrade
process, a transmission capacity reservation on the Idaho Power electrical system wil
exist tor this project. However, in order to finalize this transmission capacity
reservation, a purchase power agrement with Idaho Power must be executed no later
than 30 days after the transmission capacity upgrades are completed. If the purchase
power agreement is not executed by this deadline, the transmission capacity reservtion
will be released and this process wil have to be repeated if the project later requests
transmission capacity.
As noted earlier, this transmission capacity acquisition and associated Network
Resource designation must be completed, at the minimum, 60 days prior to the project
delivering any energy to Idaho Power. In addition, the project must provide routine
updates to Idaho Power of the expected online date of the generation project to ensure

NETWORK RESOURCE INTEGRATION STUDY AGREEMENT
THIS Agreement is made and entered into this _ day of 20_
between Idaho Power Company ("Idaho Powet' or "Company") through its Power
Supply business unit ("Power Supply") and
("Developer'). Power Supply and Developer may hereinafter be referred to individually
as "Party" or collectively as "Parties."
RECITALS:
A. Developer has advised Power Supply that it intends to develop a
generating facilty that would meet the criteria for a Qualifying Facilty (OIQP') as that
term is defined in the Public Utilty Regulatory Policies Act of 1978. Developer desires
to sell the energy to be generated by the OF to Idaho- Power as a non-interruptible
designated network resource ("DNR").
B. In order for the OF to be classified as a DNR and for Idaho Power to
purchase the energy to be generated by the OF on a firm basis, a network resource
integration system impact study ("SIS") must be performed by Idaho Power's delivery
business unit ("Delivery"). The SIS wil identify the need and associated costs for
Delivery to install facilties, including "upgrades" (as that term is defined in Idaho Power
Company's Schedule 72), to allow the OF to operate as a DNR and deliver firm energy
to the Company's load centers. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's rules
require that Power Supply make the request to Delivery to perform the SIS. Delivery
wil bil Power Supply for the costs incurred to perform the SiS.

1. Developer hereby requests that Power Supply initiate the process for
Delivery to conduct a SiS for determining the cost of the OF's becoming a DNR for the
Company. Developer agrees to pay all charges associated with any analyses that
Delivery determines are reasonably necessary to evaluate the impact of the OF on
Idaho Power's transmission system.
2. In order for Power Supply to initiate ä SiS, Developer must submit the
estimated SiS cost of within fourteen (1'4~ days of the date of this
Agreement. This amount is based on Delivery's estimate of the actual cost of
performing the SiS, including appropriate loadingånd administrative and general
overheads. Should the scope of the SiS be changed: by Developer or further study be
necessitated due to reasons beyond the control of Delivèry, Power Supply wil advise
Developer of the revised charges, if any.
3. Upon receipt of this Agreemént~ executed by Developer, payment of the
amount specifed in paragraph 2, and all information required to enable Power Supply to
complete the necessary request, Power Supply wil submit the necessary request and
documentation to Delivery to commence the SiS. Subject to Developer's providing
requested information and making any requested supplemental payments in a timely
manner, Delivery will perform the SiS with due diligence. Power Supply wil respond to
Developer's reasonable requests for information regarding an estimated completion
date for the SiS and, if necessary, with an explanation of why additional time is required
to complete the SiS.

B-6 LOSSES
For Facilities within the Idaho Power Electrcal System Control area - If the Idaho Power
Metering equipment is capable of measurig the exact energ deliveres by the Transmitting
Entity on behalf of the Seller to the Idaho Power electrcal system at the Point of Delivery, no
Losses will be calculated for this Facility. If the Idaho Power Metering is unable to measure the
exact energy deliveries by the Transmitting Entity on behalf of the Seller to the Idaho Power
electrical system at the Point of Delivery, a Losses calculation wil be established to measure the
energy losses (kWh) between the Seller's Facility and the Idaho Power Point of Delivery. Ths
loss calculation wil be initially set at 2% (or any other reasonably detennined value by Idaho
Power) of the kWh energy production recorded on the Facility generation metering equipment.
At such time as Seller provides Idaho Power with the electrcal equipment specifications
(transformer loss specifications, conductor sizes, etc) of all of the electrical equipment between
the Facilty and the Idaho Power electrical system, Idaho Power wil configue a revised loss
calculation formula to be agreed to by both paries and used to calculate the kWh Losses for the
remaining term of the Agreement. If at any time durng the term of this Agreement, Idaho Power
deterines that the loss calculation does not corrctly reflect the actual kWh losses attrbuted to

Forecasting model to forecast the energy production from this Facilty and other Qualifyng Facility wind
generation resources. Seller and Idaho Power wil shar the cost of Wind Energy Production Forecasting.
The Facility's share of Wind Energy Production Forecastig is detenned as specified below. Sellers
share will not be greater than 0.1 % of the total energy payments made to Seller by Idaho Power durng the
previous Contract Year.
a. For ever month of this Agreement beginnng with the first full month after the
First Energy Date as specified in Appendix of this Agrement, the Wind Energy
Production Forecasting Monthly Cost Allocation (MCA) wil be due and payable
by the Seller. Any Wind Energy Production Forecasting Monthly Cost
Allocations (MCA) that ar not reimbured to Idaho Power shall be deducted
from energy payments to the Seller.
. As the value of the 0.1 % cap of the Facilties total energy payments will not

the cap) in equal monthly amounts over the ensuing Contract Year.
c. The cost allocation formula described below will be reviewed and revised if
necessar on the last day of any month in which the cumulative MW nameplate
of wind projects having Commission approved agreements to deliver energy to
Idaho Power has been revised by an action of the Commssion.
d. The monthly cost allocation will be based upon the following forula:
Where: Total MW (TM is equal to the total nameplate rating of all QF wind
projects that ar under contract to provide energy to Idaho Power
Company.
Faciity MW fFMW is equal to the nameplate ratng of this Facility as

Anual Wind Energy Production Forecastng Cost (AFCost) is equal
to the total anual cost Idaho Power incurs to provide Wind Energy
Production Forecasting. Idaho Power will estimate the AFCost for the
curent year based upon the previous year's cost and expected costs for
the curent year. At year-end, Idaho Power will compar the actual costs
to the estimated costs and any differences between the estimated AFCost
and the actual AFCost wil be included in the next year's AFCost.

peter, as I indic¡ited in our letter to you dated November 1, 2010. 1 proceeded with filing transmission service requests
(TSR) for both of these projectS. Upon review of the information I submitted the application was rejected by the Idaho
Power transmission group due to the fact that information did not sync up with the project's transmission requests on
the aPA system.
The information prOvided by the projects in the Idaho Power transmission Capacity application questionnaire indicated
an on line date 12/1/2012, whereas the BPA transmission information indicates the earliest aPA Would have
transmission capacity would be available on the BPA system is June 2013.
The BPA transmission application indicates ,a 21 MWand a 30 MW project, based on the last information Wastach
provided to Idaho Power you requested two 21 MW projects.
In order for the Idaho Power transmiSSion group to accept my transmission applications we must have our information
consistent with the project's request for transmission on the aPA system. Please submit a revised Transmission
Capacity Application Questionnaire for both the Grouse Creek I and Grouse Creek II project as soon as possible. I wil
wait to file the Idaho power TSR until you have provided the revised information that is consistent with the BPA
transmission requests.
Ancillary Services - it is also very important to note that 8PA wil not be supplying ancilary services for your project.
You will be required to secure these ¡inciUary services from someone. As the proje.ct is not in the Idaho Power service
territory, Idaho POWEr is not required to supply ancilary services. if you want Idaho Power to provide the.se services, you
wil need to send in a written request and Idaho PoWer will review the request to determine our ability and cost to
provide these services. These services and costs woUld be in addition to any transmission costs incurred to provide
transmission capacity for this project on the Idaho Power electrical system.
In summary - I must have ,a revised transmission questionnaire from the projects that is consistent with the BPA
transmission requests to be able to file an Idaho Power transmission serviCe request.

Re: Grouse Creek Wind Park, LLC, and Grouse Creek Wind Park II, LLC
Mr. Richardson:
Please let this confirm receipt of your November 23, 2010, letter regarding the
abave~reterenced proposed projects subsequent to our November 19, 2010. meeting,
With that Jetter you confirm, on behalf of your client, that Idaho Power had previousiy
sent YOll draft contracts containing the "standard" terms and conditions for a PURPA,
le$$ than 1 o average megawatts, published avoided cost rate Firm Energy Sales
Agreement ("FESAlJ). With this lelter IdaM Power acknowledges that Idaho Power and
your client are fully engaged in the referred to PURPA contracting process.
Your letter also confIrms and acknowledges that your client wishes to move
forward with the FESA, Including the standard, Idaho Public Utilìties Commission
("CommissionlJ) approved $45 per kilowatt of project .capacity delay security. prior to
completIon of the interconnection and transmission studies and processes. Further,
that your client understands it Is their responsibìlty to work with Idaho Power's Delivery
business unit to ensure that suffcient time and resources wil be àvallable for Delivery to
construct the lnterconnectlon facilties, and transmission upgrades if required, in time to
allow the projects to achieve the Scheduled Operation Date that the projects wil commit
themselves to in the FESA. In addition, your client has been advised, and accepts the
risk, that delays in thelnferconnectlon or transmission process do not constitute
excusable delays in achieving the Scheduled Operation Date, and if the projects fail to
achieve the Scheduled Operation Date at the time,s specified in the FESA, delay
damages wlU be assessed, and delay security applied. Please allow me to suggest that
special consideration be giiien to the Scheduled Operation Date selected by the
proJects fot Inclusion in tile FESA, such that with the information available at this time a
date is ohosen that has a good probabilty of providing time for the anticipated
interoonnection ånd possible transmission upgrades to be completed.

Additionally, given 1h.e VtJl) large amount of PURPA genei'ation projects that ara
proposed for Integration Into Idaho Power's system, as well as the issues raised in the
November 5, 2010, Joint Petition filed with the Commission, Idaho Power WOUld like to
call yor attention to some of the existing terms and conditions that are part of the
CommIssIon-approved standard PURPA FESA, as well as part of the Company's
approved Tariff Sohedule 72, and make certin that both Idaho Powr and your cllents
have a common understanding and meeting of the minds as to the meaning of these
terms and conditions prior to exeoutlng the FE$As and submittng thesame to the
Commission for approvaL.
Accrding to the standard provisions of the FESA (included below for your
reference), curfailment without compensatIon may occur if there Is an event of Force
Majeure, a, Forced Outage, or a temporary disconnection of the Facillty in accordanC$
with Tariff Schedule 72. If the gerieratlon from your client's facilty wil have an adverse
affect upon Idaho PQwets service to its customers, Idaho Power may temporarily
disconnect the facilty frm Idaho Powets transmission/distribution system as specified
within Schedule 72, or take such other reasonable steps as Idaho Power deems
appropriate. Idaho Powets intent and understanding Is that nonøoorrpensated
curtailment would be exercised when the generation being provided by facilties
conne,cted to Its system in certain operating coditions exceeds or approaohes the
mJnimum load levels of the Company's system such that It may have a detrimental
effect upon the Company's abilty to manage Its thermal, hydro, and other resources In
order to meet its obligation to reliably serve loads on Its system.
Idaho Power trusts that these provisions are acceptable to you and your clients,
as they have been part of the Commisslon..appmved standard FESA, as well as part of
the Commission-approved Tariff Schedule 72 for quite some time. Signing and
submiting the FESAs to the CommissiOn will evidence your specific acknowledgment
that both parties have â common understanding as set out above with regard to the
possible curtailment, without compensation, that may occur In certn operating
conditions on Idaho Power's system.
Please review the previously provIded draft contract: fllHn or corrct any of the
project specific, factual information contained thereIn; and return the draft to Idaho
Power so that the Company can then initiate the Sarbanes-Oxley contract approval
process and generate ane.xecutable draft for signatures.

Complaints
Dear Donova;
Than you for your letter of November 24, 201 0, regaring the above,.referenced projects
and complaint actions. As we agreed, we have taken the steps necessary to stay the
pending complaint actions regarding these projects in response to your letter. Wasateh
Wind is fully aware oithe contacts' provisions you highlighted in, your letter. Wasatch
Wind is also fulJy aware of the transnssion an interonnection risks, as weI i as the
liquid security provision.
As we discussed earlier today, the dtft agreements you sent contain a requirement in
Aricle S.7 to complete certain internnection and trmisson processes prior to
execution of the Firm Energy Sales Agreement, but you agree to remove this requirement
from the final agreement. I also would like to point out that Wasatcb Wind ha not
included line losses in the schedule of Monthly Net Energy for theñrst year of the
agement contained in Aricle 6.2.1. Wasatch Wind understands tht it wil only be pa.id
for output delivered to Idaho Power's system per the provisions of Appendix ß.6.
Additionally, beaus there wa some confuon earlier, pleas provide me with
confrmtion tht Idaho Power ha initiated the tranmission capacity applications to
secure Netork Resource designations for these projects. The requests should be for two
21 MWprojeet, each with a First Energy date ofDeçember 31,2012, and Scheduled
Operation date of Lune 1, 2013.
Wasatch Wind is prpaed to execute the agreements and we appreciate the fact that
Idao Power is processing them as quickly as possible, s.ubject only to your stdard

Re: Gruse Creek I and Grouse Creek II wind project transission reuests
Mr. Richardson,
Idaho Power is in receipt of your letter dated December 2, 20 i 0 and the draft purchas power
agrents YOu provided for these two projects. Idaho Power is reviewing the infonnation
provided and wil coordinate the completion ofthese agreements in a prompt manner.
In addition, in this letter you provided clarfication of the project sizes and have asked for
confinnation that Idaho Power has fied the necessary documentation to initiate the transmission
capacity acquisition process.
As was discussed in our meeting of November 19. 2010, the project have provided Idaho
Power with differng details of the projec such as project sizes, proposed online dates, third party
transmission infonnation. etc. In October and early November 2010, Idaho Power received
confirmation frm the project of e.nough specific details to enable Idaho Power to request
transmission capacity for these projects. On November 4,2010, Idaho Power fied a transmission
service request application with the Idaho Power transmission grup for these projects. At that
time, the Idaho Power transmissioti grup returned the application communicatmg back that they
wer unable to process the application due to the fact that the BP A transmission requests noted on
the information provided by the projects were not consistent with the infonntiøti provided by the
project to Idaho Power for the Idaho Power trnsmission request.

Peter,
Attached are draft agreements for the Grouse Creek wind park and the Grouse Creek wind park II.
In reviewing the drafts you had previously provided we discovered numerous problems with document formatting,
fonts, etc. Therefore we have copied the project specific information you provided in those drafts into new draft
agreements. Please use these draft agreements for all new comments etc.
One key piece of information that wa.s missing from both agreements . the aCcurate 10catiOn dèscription. The locations
provided are identical and the section information was hOt filed in. Bàsed on this information that has been provided,
there is no abilty to determine if the projects are at least 1 mile apart from each other.
Please review these draft agreements, add the additional information and return your comments ASAP so that we can
continue to move forWard with these agreements.

I want to make sure I understand the requested dates (as requested in the first email of this strng) for the
First Energy Date and Scheduled Operation Date for the Grouse Creek Wind prjects.
The currnt dates~ as found in Appendix B-3 ar:
B-3 SCHEDULED FIRST ENERGY AN OPERATION DATE
Seller has selected December 31, 2012 as the Scheduled Fir Energy Date..
Seller has selected June 1. 2013 as the Scheuled Opation Date.
My interretation of the dates you have requested (first energy 6/13 and COD 12/13) would change
Appendix B-3 as foIlows:
B-3 SCHEDULED FIRST ENERGY AN OPERATION DATE
Seller has selected June 1, 2013 as the Scheduled Firs Energy Date.
Seller has selected December 1, 2013 as the Scheduled Operation Date.
Ar these the correct dates that you would like in Appendix B-3 of the Firm Energy Sales Agreement?
