Jewell, Secretary Idaho Public Utilities Commission 472 West Washington Street P.O. Box 83720 Boise, Idaho 83'l20-0074 I P L ~ G -' '7. -05 Re: Tariff Advice No. 12-02 Modifications to Schedules: Schedule 1 - Residential Service Schedule 4 - Residential Service, Energy Watch Program Schedule 5 - Residential Service, Time-of-Day Program Schedule Index Dear Ms. Jewell: As of December 31, 2011, Idaho Power ("Idaho Power" or "Company") has completed deployment of its Advanced Metering Infrastructure ("AMI") system. Under a separate simultaneous filing in Case No. IPC-E-08-16, Idaho Power filed a Time Variant Pricing Implementation Plan ("Plan") to comply with the Commission directive in Order No. 30726. A copy of the Plan is attached. In order to execute the Plan, Idaho Power is proposing modifications to Schedule 4, Energy Watch Pilot, Schedule 5, Time-of-Day Pilot, some minor modifications to Schedule 1, Residential Service, and housekeeping edits to the Schedule Index in this advice filing. Idaho Power plans to begin the Time Variant Pricing rollout by introducing Idaho customers to the Time-of-Day pricing option in 2012. Then, in 2013, Idaho Power plans to begin offering the Energy Watch pricing option to Idaho customers. In addition, Idaho Power proposes to study the impacts on customer usage, to test communication efforts, and to examine the impacts on Company revenues. 1'\0. Ilox 70 (1l370ï) 1221 W. Idaho St. flolre, ID ii.'m:ii Jean D. Jewell, Secretary Idaho Public Utilities Commission January 19, 2012 Page 2 Time-of-Day Pilot. Schedule 5 Idaho Power is proposing the following modifications to the Time-of-Day Pilot, Schedule 5, in order to implement the 2012 rollout plan: . The current geographic limitation (Emmett Valley area) in the tariff wil be deleted so that the pricing plan is available to all Idaho residential customers with an AMI meter. As described in the attached Plan, Idaho Power wil target certain geographic areas for direct mail invitations; however, customers from other areas are eligible to participate. . A clause is added to the Time-of-Day tariff to cap enrollees at 1,200. Until the new customer information and billng system is in place at the end of this year, the sign-up processes to transfer customers from Schedule 1 to Schedule 5 are manual and time consuming. Idaho Power is proposing a cap to ensure it has the necessary resources to process customer enrollments in a timely manner. . Idaho. Power has added language to the tariff that clarifies customer expectations for going on and off the tariff and allows time for the Company to process changes to customer enrollment. A clause has been added that specifies if customers go off the tariff they must stay off for 12 months. This is to ensure customers do not "game the system" and jump seasonally from one pricing plan to another when the rates may benefi them for a short time due to their usage pattern. . A new paragraph has been added to define holidays when peak pricing wil not be in effect. · Lastly, now that the Company has multiple pricing options for customers, the nomenclature of "plan" has been added to all of the residential pricing options available. This terminology will be used on the Idaho Power web site and in educational material describing customer options. Schedule 1 is to be called the Standard Plan. This is the only modification proposed for Residential Service, Schedule 1. Energy Watch Pilot. Schedule 4 Idaho PO\Ner proposes to suspend Energy Watch Pilot, Schedule 4. As described in the attached Plan, because of the limited nature of the rollout in 2012 and in an attempt to introduce the new pricing concepts in a clear and understandable way to customers, Idaho Power wil introduce the Time-of-Day plan in 2012 followed by the Energy Watch plan a year later in 2013. Jean D. Jewell, Secretary Idaho Public Utilities Commission January 19, 2012 Page 3 Both legislative and clean copies of the Company's proposed Schedules, 1, 4, and 5 are enclosed with this tariff filing. A revised Schedule Index is also submitted for approvaL. The Company respectfully requests that these sheets become effective March 1,2012.

IDAHO Issued por Order No. 32426January 19, 2012 Effective - Ja.yMarch 1, 2012 Issued by IDAHO POWER COMPANY Gregory W. Said, Vice President, Regulatory Affairs 1221 West Idaho Street, Boise, Idaho $ An IOACORP company 2012 Time Variant Pricing Implementation Plan Idaho Power Company 2012 TVP Rollout Plan 1. Executive Summary In 2012, Idaho Power Company ("Idaho Power" or "Company") wil begin offering an expanded Time Varant Pricing ("TVP") plan to residential customers in the Idaho service terrtory. This offering wil be limited to those customers having Advanced Metering Infrastrctue ("AMI") equipment installed and wil be capped initially at 1,200 paricipants. Customers wil be invited to participate in this pricing plan via a randomly selected list and a direct mail letter. Invitees wil be encouraged to access the Idaho Power web site and the Energy Use Advising Tool ("EUAT") to assist them in determining if the pricing option would be advantageous for them. The first geographic area to be targeted is the greater Boise metropolitan area because customers in this area were the first to have AMI meters installed and have at least 12 months of historic usage for plan comparson puroses. The overall goal of the 2012 TVP Implementation Plan is to utilize the new AMI system to offer customers a choice of pricing plans while providing them with better tools to manage their energy usage, to provide the Company with the opportunity to fuher study the effects of a time varant rate on customers' usage, and to help shape the Company's futue communcation efforts. This implementation project will also provide an opportunity to evaluate the impact of this new rate offering on Company revenues and costs. 2. TVP Plan Offering Idaho Power currently has two residential time variant pricing tarffs: Schedule 5, Time-of-Day Pilot and Schedule 4, Energy Watch Pilot. Both pricing tarffs have seasonal Peak and Off-Peak rates and the Energy Watch Pilot includes a critical peak price during the sumer season. Both of these tariffs wil be modified for use in this implementation plan. Time-of-Day Plan In March 2012, Idaho Power plans to remove the geographical limits curently imposed by Schedule 5 and begin a limited offerng of the Time-of-Day pricing plan to Idaho residential customers. This plan will be offered on an optional, voluntar basis with no minimum usage requirement. The only requirement is that an AMI meter exists at the customer's residence. Idaho Power proposes this pricing option be offered as a pilot in order to be able to limit the Page 1 2012 TVP Rollout Plan Idaho Power Company number of paricipants until Idaho Power's new customer biling and information system is in place and in order to study TVP impacts on customer usage as well as Company costs and revenues. The Time-of-Day plan uses curently approved hourly pricing in the sumer and non-suner months. The curent rates in this tariff approved Januar 1, 2012, are: Service Charge, per month $5.00 Energy Charge, per kWh Sumer Non-SumerPeak 1i.3500~ 8.2261~ Off-Peak 6.2582~ 6.2582~ Durng the summer season, June 1 through August 31 st, Peak hours are 1 :00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on weekdays and all other hours are Off-Peak. During the non-sumer season, September 1 through May 31, Peak hours are 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on weekdays, with all other hours being Off-Peak. Holidays, as defined in the tariff, are Off-Peak. The Time-of-Day pricing plan is designed to send price signals to customers that more closely reflect the costs of serving those customers. The Time-of-Day plan also provides customers the opportunity to take control of when they use energy and possibly lower their bil by shifting usage to lower cost time periods. Suspension of Energy Watch Plan Idaho Power is proposing to suspend the current Energy Watch Pilot tarff, Schedule 4, for approximately one year. The Company plans to file in early 2013 to withdraw the temporar tarff suspension. The reason Idaho Power is offering only the Time-of-Day plan in the first year is to simplify the offering and make it easier for customers to understand. This phased-in approach provides residential customers time to evaluate and value the benefits of a time variant rate compared to their curent tiered rate design. Other utilities implementing TVP offerings have reported that when a new pricing strctue is introduced to customers, rollout is more successful when new concepts are gradually introduced to customers. When only one option is provided, information is easier for customers to understand and evaluate. Page 2 Idaho Power Company 2012 TVP Rollout Plan The Company believes that customers wil be more accepting of the transition to time varant pricing if customers can become more comfortable with how they use energy under this approach followed by the implementation of additional pricing options. It is expected that the rollout will be more successful if time-of-use rates are introduced first so customers can become more comfortable with how they use energy on an hourly basis. This approach makes sense because the Energy Watch plan is a more complicated rate design with critical peak pricing layered on top of a time-of-use rate. Because the Energy Watch plan has time varng rates all year similar in strcture to the Time-of-Day plan, its introduction a year later should be easier for customers to understand and adopt. By delaying the implementation of the Energy Watch plan, Idaho Power will be able to evaluate proper integration of a critical peak pricing program with other options provided for the Company's residential customers (i.e., how Energy Watch, and the Company's residential demand response program (NC Cool Credit), can best work together). The delayed start of the Energy Watch plan wil also provide the Company time to evaluate the value of the Energy Watch plan in comparson to other demand response resources. Limited Enrollment Idaho Power is planing a "soft" rollout of the Time-of-Day rate plan by limiting the number of enrollments to 1,200 for the 2012 calendar year. With the curent Idaho Power Customer Information System (CIS) in place, the processes necessary to enroll a new customer onto a TVP pricing plan are manual and time consuming. An enrollment cap is needed because of employee resource and system limitations caused by the curent customer information system. The 1,200 paricipation cap eliminates the possibility of having to add personnel only for this task. Idaho Power is in the process of implementing a new customer biling system which wil be more flexible in its ability to handle the new rate designs. The Company is planng to transition into the new biling system at the end of 2012. The new customer billng system wil have the fuctionality to process new customers to time varant rates more easily and rapidly, enabling the Company to expand its TVP offering in 2013. Page 3 2012 TVP Rollout Plan Idaho Power Company 3. Customer Enrollment Idaho Power wil initiate its TVP expansion by providing a sample of customers a direct mail letter that wil include educational material describing the rate plan and what customers should consider when evaluating whether to sign up for the Time-of-Day plan or whether to stay on the Standard plan, Schedule I. Customers wil be invited to go to a link on the Idaho Power web site where they wil be encouraged to sign into Account Manager and then into the new Energy Use Advising TooL. The EUAT wil calculate monthly and anual bils for each customer under the curent Standard plan and the Time-of-Day plan using their actual 12-month historical energy usage. A simple calculator provided on the web site will help customers determine the impact on their bil if they use energy the same as the previous year or if they can shift a percentage of their usage to the Off-Peak hours. Suggestions of actions necessary to make these changes wil also be provided in the EUAT. If customers decide they want to go on the new rate, they wil be encouraged to sign up on the Company's web site. There wil also be a dedicated phone number for customers to call to sign up over the phone or to ask for fuher information. Informational materials and messaging wil be tested and refined during this initial rollout year. 4. Participant Selection For customers to properly evaluate whether or not to elect to go on the new pricing plan, it is preferable for them to have at least 12 months of hourly usage available on the web in the EUAT. Because the AMI meters were installed in specific areas across Idaho Power's service terrtory over the three-year AMI implementation timeline, Idaho Power's direct mail invitation process wil be first offered in those areas thàt have at least 12 months of historic hourly usage information. The first waves of direct mail invitations wil target the first geographic area which received AMI meters which are the Boise, Garden City, Eagle, Star, Meridian, Nampa, and Middleton areas. Page 4 Idaho Power Company 2012 TVP Rollout Plan Based on the experience of other utilities when soliciting participation for pricing options, Idaho Power expects around a 2-3 percent sign-up rate in response to the direct mail letters. With a 2-3 percent sign-up response, approximately 40,000 to 60,000 invitation letters wil need to be sent out in order to achieve 1,200 paricipants. In order to manage the workload on the Customer Service Center, Idaho Power wil modulate the size and frequency of the direct mail "waves" sent to residential customers. The customers invited to paricipate will be randomly selected from a sample population which wil be stratified for the offering and for the subsequent analysis according to usage characteristics of the entire Idaho Power residential customer population. In this way, Idaho Power can use the resulting data from paricipants to help predict the overall acceptance of this rate introduction as it is subsequently rolled out to the Company's entire residential class. Once the entire 1,200 pilot paricipants are signed up for the rate, a closely matched control group wil be selected to aid in evaluating effects of the pilot versus the overall residential population. The only general exclusion from this initial process is to customers who are identified as renters. Rental customers generally move from one place to another at a high frequency. As mentioned, the processes necessary to sign up a new customer onto a TVP pricing plàn is very manual and time consuming. Rental customers will remain eligible under the tarff; however, they wil not be a par of the selected sample determination because of ths constraint. It is anticipated that after the new billing system is installed, this constraint wil not exist. Idaho Power also plans to make this tarff available to owners of electrc vehicles ("EV") throughout its Idaho service terrtory. Although Idaho Power has no direct way to determine who owns an electric vehicle at this time, educational information about the Time-of-Day pricing plan wil be provided to car dealerships to pass on to new EV owners. Idaho Power plans to encourage residential customers who purchase an electrc vehicle to consider a time varant pricing option. On the Time-of-Day plan, customers can charge their cars durng Off-Peak hours, pay a lower rate, and receive a lower bil than if they charged their car durng Peak hours and paid Peak hour rates. If customers charge their cars durng Off-Peak hours instead of Peak PageS 2012 TVP Rollout Plan Idaho Power Company hours, it will reduce the potential negative impact of this new end-use load on the Idaho Power system. Even though the focus of the 2012 rollout wil primarily be on customers invited from the selected geographic area and, secondarly, on customers with electric vehicles, other paricipants will not be excluded and can be analyzed separately from the customers in the targeted rollout. At this time, customers electing to go on the Time-of-Day plan canot be a net metering customer. This is due to the limitations of the current biling system which canot bil the negative meter readings that could potentially occur if a customer's generation was greater than his or her consumption. Customers on the Time-of-Day plan are eligible to paricipate in the Company's residential demand response plan, the NC Cool Credit program. The Emmett Valley customers who were previously on the Time-of-Day and Energy Watch pricing plans have been transitioned to the Standard plan, Schedule 1. Because they had meters that were incompatible with the time varant measurng component configuration of the proposed new rate design, Idaho Power changed their meters to the new AMI meters and they now have the correct component configuation. Idaho Power personnel wil work with each customer previously on a time varant schedule in Emmett to explain the new TVP plan and determine if they want to enroll under the revised Schedule 5. 5. Financial and Usage Impact As part of this implementation plan, Idaho Power wil set up a study for the purose of analyzing the impacts of time varant pricing on paricipant usage patterns, identifying customer response to different communication messages, and evaluating revenue impacts. The expanded offering of TVP plans to residential customers may have a financial impact on Idaho Power resulting from changes to costs and revenues. Idaho Power first raised this issue in Case No. IPC-E-05-02, the request for the TVP pilot program in Emmett. The Commission, in Order No. 29737, approving the pilot program stated: "However, the Company stated that the issue of lost revenues, and any mechanism that may be adopted to address lost revenues, should Page 6 Idaho Power Company 2012 TVP Rollout Plan be fully investigated if either pilot program becomes permanent or is expanded beyond its curent scope." Idaho Power's TVP implementation team will develop an analysis of the potential financial impacts resulting in an expansion of TVP rate options to residential customers and propose ways to address revenue requirement deficits after completion of the analysis. The following section explores these issues. Short-Term Adjustment Due to Customer Transitions Customers selecting to paricipate in the TVP offerings may be "strctural winners" or "losers" in that they wil experience bill reductions or increases, respectively, with no change in usage patterns. In this case, for each customer whose bill changes by simply changing rate options without changing usage patterns there is an equal revenue impact to the Company. Given that time-of-use rates are intended to reflect costs to serve, it can suggest that a customer who is a strctural winner by moving to a time-of-use rate and does not change their consumption patterns, then they were paying more than their tre cost-of-service, and in essence, subsidizing other customers within the class. Alternately, if a customer would be a strctural loser by moving to a time-of-use rate, that would suggest they were paying below their tre cost- of-service and may not choose to parcipate. These customers may prefer to remain on the standard plan and continue to receive the intra-class subsidy. Idaho Power conducted a preliminar study to estimate the potential revenue impact on the Company due to the movement of customers from Schedule 1 to Schedule 5. The 2011 hourly kWh data from the 250 customers in the Company's. existing residential load research sample was used as representative data of the total Idaho Power residential customer population. For each of the customers in the load research sample, both Schedule 1 base rates and Schedule 5 base rates were applied to the hourly usage. A monthly and anual bil was calculated for each customer for both rate plans. From this data, a delta was calculated showing how much the anual bil for each customer would decrease or increase on an anual basis, both in total dollar amount and in percent, by moving from Schedule 1 to Schedule 5. No change in energy usage was assumed. Calculating these bill impacts as a percent of the Standard Schedule 1 bill produces the following spread: Page? 2012 TVP Rollout Plan Idaho Power Company Biling Impact of Moving From Schedule 1 to 5 Number of Customers Range: 9.3 percent increase to -14.2 percent decrease Percent Bil Impact Customers Greater than 9% Increase 1 Between 5% and 9% Increase 21 Between 0% and 5% Increase 116 Between 0% and 5% Decrease 79 Between 5% and 9% Decrease 26 Greater than 9% Decrease 7 Total dollar impact of each customer in the data set is plotted below.

Expanding this "average" impact to 1,000 plan paricipants (for ease of using this analysis, 1,000 paricipants is used instead of 1,200 paricipants), the aggregate bil reduction for these 1,000 customers would correspond to a revenue reduction for the Company of $24,430. However, it is counterintuitive to assume that customers wil elect to move to a new rate structure if they know they wil increase their bil. If all customers who are "strctual losers," are excluded, the range of anual bil impacts for the "strctual winners" is from an anual bil reduction of $1.03 to an anual bil reduction of $651.25. The potential range of revenue reduction in ths case for 1,000 new TVP customers is from approximately $1,000 to as high as $650,000. The average anual impact of strctual winners is about $78.00 or a $78,000 revenue reduction for 1,000 participants. Price Elasticity Impact Some customers may shift or shave usage in response to hourly price signals in order to lower their bil. When this happens, there is reduction in revenue for the Company; however, there is also reduction in expenses for the Company (because energy is not being provided durng the higher cost Peak hours). There is also the possibility that customers may increase Off-Peak energy usage in response to lower prices, for example, by adding electric vehicle charging. Understanding and quantifyng these changes is critical as more customers adopt TVP pricing options. Over time, usage change in response to prices that are set closer to the cost-of-service should increase system effciency. The short term adjustment and price electrcity impacts briefly discussed above may also have an impact on Idaho Power's existing mechansms such as the Power Cost Adjustment, Fixed Cost Adjustment, and Load Change Adjustment Rate. Therefore, the Company plans to conduct a comprehensive financial and usage impact analysis in order to propose a future tre-up mechanism. Page 9 2012 TVP Rollout Plan Idaho Power Company 6.

Future Plans After the 2012 rollout activities, Idaho Power expects to expand the time varant pricing offering to more customers. In early spring 2013, Idaho Power wil fie to add Schedule 4, Energy Watch plan, as an optional rate available to residential customers. With the implementation of the new biling system, the Company plans to be able to offer the TVP plans to more residential customers in the Idaho service terrtory. Research conducted in 2012 wil assist in refining customer messaging and in ensurg effective evaluation tools are provided to customers. With the data gathered in 2012, Idaho Power wil be able to more clearly indicate the impacts on revenue and costs due to the implementation of the optional TVP rate plans. Page 10
