Re: Tariff Advice No. 11-05
Annual Compliance Filing to Update Charges and Credits under Rule H, New
Service Attachments and Distribution Line Installations or Alterations
Dear Ms. Jewell:
Idaho Power Company hereby submits proposed cost updates to the charges and
credits outlined in Rule H, New Service Attachments and Distribution Line Installations or
Alterations. This is the annual compliance filing to update Rule H charges and credits as
required by Idaho Public Utiliies Commission Order Nos. 30853 and 30955. The following
tariff sheets identify the proposed cost updates, a newly proposed Overhead Service
Attachment Charge for Non-Residence, and some housekeeping edits:

The cost estimation methodology used to update the charges and credits is the
same methodology the Company utilzed in previous annual filings, with one exception. In
this filing, the Company is proposing to remove metering costs from the calculation of single
phase and three phase allowances. It has come to the Company's attention that metering
costs are not charged on Rule H work orders, and therefore, no offset is needed in the
determination of Company-funded allowances. In other words, all metering costs on Rule H
work orders are recorded as a "no-charge" and are recovered through base rates rather
than on individual work orders. As a result, past allowance amounts were overstated by the
cost of metering equipment: $71.00 - $85.00 for single phase and $270.00 - $292.00 for
three phase.

Overall, the Company's overhead costs went down slightly while material costs
increased resulting in an average increase in Rule H charges of 3.2 percent. The proposed
updates to Company-funded allowance amounts decreased on average by 2.6 percent
primarily as a result of the metering cost correction mentioned above. All proposed cost
updates are summarized in Attachment NO.1 of this advice filing.
In addition to updating the charges and credits under Rule H, the Company is
proposing to add a new charge to the Other Charges section of Rule H in order to provide
customers a consistent charge for overhead services to non-residence structures. The
costs associated with these service attachment requests rarely vary between customers,
and therefore, a flat charge is appropriate. The proposed Overhead Service Attachment
Charge for Non-Residence of $181.00 will charge customers more consistently and reduce
overhead costs for the Company by eliminating the need to develop individual work orders
each time a request is made for overhead service attachments for non-residences. A
complete definition of the proposed charge is included with this filing.
The Company is also proposing housekeeping edits which are identified in the
enclosed tariff sheets. One of the edits proposes to correct the definition of Terminal
Facilities to indicate that underground service wire is not included in Terminal Facilities.
Instead, applicants or additional applicants pay underground charges as set forth in Section
4 of Rule H. In addition, the Company is proposing to add Schedule 3 to the preamble of
Rule H, clarify the calculation of Vested Interest Charges by adding the defined term
Connected Load, and correct a reference to Section 8.a.
The Company respectfully requests that the proposed updates are approved by
March 1, 2012, and become effective March 15, 2012. The Company is requesting a 14-
day implementation period to update computer systems and prepare new communication
materials.
If you have any questions regarding this tariff advice, please contact Scott Sparks at

ALTERATIONS
This rule applies to requests for electric service under Schedules 1,3,4,5,7,9, 19,24,45, and
46 that require the installation, alteration, relocation, removal, or attachment of Company-owned
distribution facilities. New construction beyond the Point of Delivery for Schedule 9 or Schedule 19 is
subject to the provisions for facilities charges under those schedules. This rule does not apply to
transmission or substation facilties, or to requests for electric service that are of a speculative nature.
1. Definitions
Additional Applicant is a person or entity whose Application requires the Company to provide
new or relocated service from an existing section of distribution facilities with a Vested Interest.
Alteration is any change or proposed change to existing distribution facilities. An alteration may
include Relocation, Upgrade, Conversion, and/or removaL.
Applicant is a person or entity whose Application requires the Company to provide new or
relocated service from distribution facilities that are free and clear of any Vested Interest.

Company. The Company, at its discretion, may require the Applicant or Additional Applicant to
sign a written application.
Company Betterment is that portion of the Work Order Cost of a Line Installation and/or
Alteration that provides a benefit to the Company not required by the Applicant or Additional
Applicant. Increases in conductor size and work necessitated by the increase in conductor size
are considered a Company Betterment if the Connected Load added by the Applicant or
Additional Applicant is less than 100 kilowatts. If, however, in the Company's discretion, it is
determined that the additional Connected Load added by the Applicant or Additional Applicant,
even though less than 100 kilowatts, is (1) located in a remote location, or (2) a part of a
development or project which will add a load greater than 100 kilowatts, the Company wil not
consider the work necessitated by the load increase to be a Company Betterment.
Connected Load is the total nameplate kW rating of the electric loads connected for commercial,
industrial, or irrigation service. Connected Load for residences is considered to be 25 kW for
residences with electric space heat and 15 kW for all other residences.
Conversion is a request by a customer to replace overhead facilities with underground facilities.
Cost Quote is a written cost estimate provided by the Company that must be signed and paid by
the Applicant or Additional Applicant prior to the start of construction. Cost Quotes are derived

5. Vested Interest Charges
Additional Applicants connecting to a vested portion of a Line Installation wil pay a Vested
Interest Charge to be refunded to the Vested Interest Holder. Additional applicants wil have
two payment options:
Option One - An Additional Applicant may choose to pay an amount determined by this
equation:
Vested Interest Charge = A x B x C where;
A = Load Ratio: Additional Applicant's Connected Load divided by the sum of
Additional Applicant's Connected Load and Vested Interest Holder's load.
B = Distance Ratio: Additional Applicant's distance divided by original distance.
C = Vested Interest Holder's unrefunded contribution
Option Two - An Additional Applicant may choose to pay the current Vested Interest, in
which case the Additional Applicant wil become the Vested Interest Holder and, as
such, wil become eligible to receive Vested Interest Refunds in accordance with Section
8.a.
If Option One is selected, the Additional Applicant has no Vested Interest and the previous
Vested Interest Holder remains the Vested Interest Holder. The Vested Interest Holder's
Vested Interest will be reduced by the newest Additional Applicant's payment.
The Vested Interest Charge will not exceed the sum of the Vested Interests in the Line
Installation. If an Additional Applicant connects to a portion of a vested Line Installation which
was established under a prior rule or schedule, the Vested Interest Charges of the previous rule
or schedule apply to the Additional Applicant.
6. Other Charges
a. Alteration Charges. If an Applicant or Additional Applicant requests a Relocation,
Upgrade, Conversion or removal of Company facilities, the Applicant or Additional
Applicant wil pay a non-refundable charge equal to the Cost Quote.
b. Engineering Charge. Applicants or Additional Applicants wil be required to prepay all
engineering costs for Line Installations and/or Alterations greater than 16 estimated
hours. Estimates equal to or less than 16 hours wil be biled to the Applicant or
Additional Applicant as part of the construction costs, or after the engineering is
completed in instances where construction is not requested. Engineering charges will
be calculated at $64.00 per hour.

5. Vested Interest Charges
Additional Applicants connecting to a vested portion of a Line Installation wil pay a Vested
Interest Charge to be refunded to the Vested Interest Holder. Additional applicants wil have
two payment options:
Option One - An Additional Applicant may choose to pay an amount determined by this
equation:
Vested Interest Charge = A x B x C where;
A = Load Ratio: Additional Applicant's Connected Uoad divided by the sum of
Additional Applicant's Connected Uoad and Vested Interest Holder's load.
B = Distance Ratio: Additional Applicant's distance divided by original distance.
C = Vested Interest Holder's unrefunded contribution
Option Two - An Additional Applicant may choose to pay the current Vested Interest, in
which case the Additional Applicant wil become the Vested Interest Holder and, as
such, will become eligible to receive Vested Interest Refunds in accordance with Section
8.a.
If Option One is selected, the Additional Applicant has no Vested Interest and the previous
Vested Interest Holder remains the Vested Interest Holder. The Vested Interest Holder's
Vested Interest will be reduced by the newest Additional Applicant's payment.
The Vested Interest Charge will not exceed the sum of the Vested Interests in the Line
Installation. If an Additional Applicant connects to a portion of a vested Line Installation which
was established under a prior rule or schedule, the Vested Interest Charges of the previous rule
or schedule apply to the Additional Applicant.
6. Other Charges
a. Alteration Charges. If an Applicant or Additional Applicant requests a Relocation,
Upgrade, Conversion or removal of Company facilities, the Applicant or Additional
Applicant wil pay a non-refundable charge equal to the Cost Quote.
