TATUM,DI 2 Idaho Power Company 1 In September of 2008,I was promoted to Manager of 2 Cost of Service and in April of 2011 I was promoted to 3 Senior Manager of Cost of Service.As Senior Manager of 4 Cost of Service I oversee the Company’s cost-of—service 5 activities such as power supply modeling,jurisdictional 6 separation studies,class cost-of—service studies,and 7 marginal cost studies. 8 Q.What is the Company requesting from the Idaho 9 Public Utilities Commission (“Commission”)in this 10 proceeding? 11 A.The Company is asking the Commission to review 12 the investments the Company has made to develop and 13 integrate the Langley Gulch power plant (“Langley”or 14 “Project”)into the Company’s operating system and approve 15 an adjustment to the Company’s rates to reflect those 16 investments and certain related expenses.This investment 17 includes generation and transmission investments,as well 18 as labor and non-labor operations and maintenance (“O&M”) 19 expenses.The Company proposes that the rate adjustment 20 associated with Langley occur on July 1,2012,to coincide 21 with the anticipated on—line date. 22 Q.Please summarize your exhibits. 23 A.Exhibit No.2 is a summary of actual and 24 projected Langley investments by plant account.Exhibit 25 No.3 is a copy of the Company’s jurisdictional separation TATUM,DI 3 Idaho Power Company 1 study used to derive the Idaho revenue requirement and is 2 based upon amounts from the investments that have not 3 previously been addressed in ratemaking proceedings. 4 Company witness Lisa A.Grow,Senior Vice President of 5 Power Supply,provided the anticipated Langley Gulch plant 6 investments for the end of June 2012.That amount was 7 $398,133,778.Exhibit No.4 details the derivation of the 8 revised Load Change Adjustment Rate (“LCAR”)once the 9 Langley Gulch investments are recognized in rates. 10 Q.Did the Company receive a Certificate of 11 Public Convenience and Necessity (“CPCN”)for the Langley 12 Gulch power plant? 13 A.Yes.As described in the Direct Testimony of 14 Ms.Grow,on September 1,2009,in Order No.30892,the 15 Commission approved the Company’s request for a CPCN with 16 authorization and binding commitment to provide rate base 17 treatment for the Company’s capital investment in Langley. 18 Q.In your opinion,will Langley be used and 19 useful on July 1,2012? 20 A.Yes.Based on the information provided to me 21 by Ms.Grow,I believe Langley will be used and useful on 22 or before July 1,2012. 23 Q.Why has the Company filed this Application for 24 inclusion of Langley prior to Substantial Completion of the 25 power plant? TATUM,DI 4 Idaho Power Company 1 A.Idaho Power will have ownership and operation 2 capability of Langley at the time Substantial Completion is 3 accepted by the Company.As described by Ms.Grow in her 4 testimony,the Company’s plan has been to have Langley on- 5 line in time to meet peak—hour loads during the summer of 6 2012.The plant may be operational prior to July 1,2012; 7 however,the Company is trying to time the change in rates 8 to coincide with the Project’s availability to serve the 9 summer peak loads in July.Substantial Completion and 10 commercial operation will occur during the time period when 11 the Commission is reviewing the Company’s application and 12 auditing costs.The Langley Project will be in commercial 13 operation in time to serve anticipated summer peak loads. 14 I.LANGLEY GULCH POWER PLANT INVESTMENT 15 Q.What is the total investment related to the 16 Langley Project that the Company anticipates will be booked 17 by June 30,2012? 18 A.The Company anticipates booking $398,133,778 19 of investment associated with the Langley Project by June 20 30,2012. 21 Q.Is the projected investment of $398,133,778 22 the amount of investment the Company proposes to include in 23 rates? 24 25 TATUM,DI 5 Idaho Power Company 1 A.No.The total investment associated with the 2 Langley Gulch power plant the Company is requesting 3 recovery of in this filing is $390,942,172. 4 Q.Please explain the difference. 5 A.There were a number of expenditures that were 6 included in the original Company Commitment Estimate of 7 $427,366,739 (“Commitment Estimate”)that were “closed to 8 plant,”or included in the Company’s plant balances,by 9 December 31,2010.These expenditures were associated with 10 site procurement,water rights,and water line land. 11 Because the Company used plant balances through December 12 31,2010,as the “base year”amounts for its test year 13 forecast in its last general rate case filing (Case No. 14 IPC—E—11—08),those amounts are effectively already 15 included in the Company’s current rates.Therefore,those 16 amounts have been excluded from this request to avoid any 17 double counting.However,these amounts are appropriately 18 considered in a reconciliation of actual investments in the 19 Langley Project to the Company’s original Commitment 20 Estimate or to the Commission ordered and binding 21 Commitment Estimate. 22 Q.What are some of the components that make up 23 the above—referenced $390,942,172 investment in Langley? 24 A.The largest portion of the $390,942,172 is 25 related to the Engineering,Procurement,and Construction TATUM,DI 6 Idaho Power Company 1 (“EPC”)contract for approximately $220.6 million.The gas 2 turbine and steam turbine make up another large portion of 3 the total investment for a combined $115.3 million. 4 Q.What other components make up the 5 $390,942,172? 6 A.In addition to the EPC contract and gas and 7 steam turbines,the $390,942,172 includes investments in 8 air permitting,water line construction,gas line 9 construction,capitalized property taxes,Idaho Power 10 engineering and oversight,RFP pricing components, 11 transmission,and miscellaneous equipment. 12 Q.What additional investments will the Company 13 make in Langley prior to June 30,2012? 14 A.During the months of February,March,April, 15 May,and June,the Company anticipates booking an 16 additional $34 million in Langley investments.The 17 majority of the investment to be made during the remaining 18 months before commercial operation is related to the EPC 19 contract.The Company will also have an investment in 20 start-up fuels in May and June 2012.A summary of the 21 anticipated investments by plant account for February, 22 March,April,May and June is attached as Exhibit No.2. 23 24 25 TATLJM,DI 7 Idaho Power Company 1 II.REVENUE REQUIREMENT 2 Q.Have you quantified the change in the 3 Company’s revenue requirement as a result of the addition 4 of the Company’s investment in Langley? 5 A.Yes.Exhibit No.3 demonstrates the change in 6 the Company’s revenue requirement from the level determined 7 in Case No.IPC-E--1l-08,the Company’s last general rate 8 case.The change in the revenue requirement is due solely 9 to the addition of the Langley investment booked as of June 10 30,2012,and associated expenses.The Company has 11 quantified the revenue requirement based upon an overall 12 rate of return (“ROR”)of 7.86 percent which is currently 13 in effect and was authorized by the Commission in Order No. 14 32426 (Case No.IPC—E—l1—08).Although Order No.30892 at 15 page 40 ordered the Company to use the current Return on 16 Equity (“ROE”)in effect,Order No.32426 did not specify 17 an approved ROE.The Company believes the use of the 18 approved ROR is in the spirit of Commission Order No. 19 30892. 20 Q.What are the associated expenses that are 21 included in this filing? 22 A.Along with the investment in Langley,the 23 Company has included the related depreciation expense and 24 reserve adjustment,property tax expense,property 25 insurance expense,labor and non-labor OM expenses,and TATUM,131 8 Idaho Power Company 1 the change (a reduction)in power supply expenses.Changes 2 in these expenses have been included because these items 3 are a direct cost of the new plant and can be quantified at 4 this time.Exhibit No.3 presents the expenses included in 5 this filing. 6 Q.Please describe these expenses. 7 A.In compliance with Order No.30892 at page 40, 8 the Company contracted with Gannett Fleming,Inc.to 9 perform a new depreciation study which was recently filed 10 with the Commission in Case No.IPC-E-12-08.The 11 depreciation expense and reserve adjustments were 12 calculated using the results of this new depreciation 13 study.The Company’s depreciation consultant,John J. 14 Spanos,performed an on-site visit to Langley and included 15 Langley depreciation rates in his study.Depreciation 16 expense will increase approximately $13 million which 17 results in a reserve adjustment of approximately $6.5 18 million. 19 Property tax and property insurance expenses were 20 estimated using the June 30,2012,projected Langley 21 investment value.Property insurance premiums have been 22 provided by the insurer.These expenses are $1.4 million 23 and $230,000,respectively. 24 The Company has included the additional $2 million 25 of labor associated with the hiring of 17 new full-time TATUM,DI 9 Idaho Power Company 1 employees stationed at the plant that occurred in the 2 second half of 2011 but was not included in the Company’s 3 test year expenses approved in the last general rate case, 4 Case No.IPC—E-1l—08.Non-labor O&M of $2.6 million 5 associated with chemicals and consumables that are required 6 to run the plant has also been included. 7 While the Company has increased expenses associated 8 with the Langley investment,the addition of the resource 9 will provide a benefit to customers through reduced power 10 supply expenses.In the Commission order following the 11 Company’s application to add the Bennett Mountain power 12 plant to rate base,Order No.29790,Case No.IPC-E-05-lO, 13 the Commission ordered that “future filings by the Company 14 reflect the associated reduction in power supply costs in 15 base rates.”The net benefit is approximately $7.7 million 16 annually,on an Idaho jurisdictional basis.This net 17 benefit was derived by reevaluating the Company’s currently 18 approved base level net power supply expense,which was 19 based on a 2010 test period.The revised base level net 20 power supply expense was determined using the AURORA model 21 with the original 2010 load and resource inputs,with the 22 exception of the addition of Langley Gulch as a resource. 23 On a normalized system basis,the addition of Langley is 24 projected to increase surplus sales by $32,271,040, 25 TATUM,DI 10 Idaho Power Company 1 increases fuel expenses by $45,346,390 ($45,871,730 — 2 $525,340),and decreases firm purchases by $21,179,510. 3 Q.Will the Company use this adjusted base for 4 future Power Cost Adjustment (“PCA”)filings following the 5 approval of this Application? 6 A.Yes.In accordance with Order No.29790,the 7 Company’s future PCA filings will incorporate the 8 adjustments approved in this case. 9 Q.Does the change in net power supply expenses 10 impact the LCAR that is part of the PCA? 11 A.Yes. 12 Q.Please explain the LCAR. 13 A.The LCAR is a component of the PCA that is 14 intended to eliminate recovery or refund of power supply 15 expenses associated with changes in load resulting from 16 changing weather conditions,a growing customer base,or 17 changing customer use patterns.It is calculated based on 18 the energy classified portion of embedded production 19 revenue requirement as established in the cost-of--service 20 study.The inclusion of the Langley investment in base 21 rates will change the energy classified portion of the 22 embedded production revenue requirement. 23 Q.Have you determined the appropriate level of 24 the LCAR based upon the inclusion of the Langley investment 25 in base rates? TATUM,DI 11 Idaho Power Company 1 A.Yes.By applying the methodology established 2 by Commission Order No.32206 in Case No.GNR-E--l0—03,the 3 LCAR should be decreased from the current level of $18.16 4 per megawatt-hour to $17.64 per megawatt-hour. 5 Q.Have you prepared an exhibit that details the 6 derivation of the revised LCAR? 7 A.Yes.Exhibit No.4 details the derivation of 8 the $17.64 LCAR amount.As can be seen on Exhibit No.4, 9 the numerator of the LCAR rate has been updated to reflect 10 the change in net power supply expenses resulting from the 11 addition of Langley Gulch as a resource. 12 Q.What is the increase in total combined rate 13 base which results from including the Company’s investment 14 in Langley? 15 A.As shown on Exhibit No.3,the total combined 16 rate base is increased by $336,701,102.The total is 17 comprised of the plant investment in Langley of 18 $373,973,801,less $6,534,894 for accumulated depreciation, 19 less $30,737,806 for accumulated deferred income taxes,and 20 results in the $336,701,102 increase in total combined rate 21 base. 22 Q.What are the changes to operating income as a 23 result of adding Langley? 24 A.Operating income decreases by $9,996,818 with 25 the addition of Langley,as can be seen on Exhibit No.3. TATUM,131 12 Idaho Power Company 1 This is the result of total operating revenues increasing 2 by $30,780,672,due to increased surplus sales,and total 3 operating expenses increasing by $40,777,490 ($30,780,672 — 4 $40,777,490) 5 Q.What is the Idaho jurisdictional revenue 6 deficiency impact to the Company with the addition of 7 Langley? 8 A.The revenue deficiency for the Idaho 9 jurisdiction is $59,869,823 as shown on Exhibit 3. 10 Q.What percentage increase is required in rates 11 in order to recover the $59,869,823 revenue deficiency for 12 the Idaho jurisdiction? 13 A.An increase in Idaho jurisdictional revenue of 14 7.18 percent is needed in order to recover the $59,869,823 15 revenue deficiency for the Idaho jurisdiction. 16 III.REVENUE SPREAD AND RATE DESIGN 17 Q.What is the Company’s proposed method of 18 assigning the revenue deficiency of $59,869,823 to 19 individual classes of customers? 20 A.The Company proposes to assign the revenue 21 deficiency of $59,869,823 to each individual customer class 22 in proportion to each class’s respective current base rate 23 revenue,resulting in a uniform percentage increase of 7.18 24 percent for each class. 25 TATUM,DI 13 Idaho Power Company 1 Q.What is the Company’s rationale for proposing 2 a uniform percentage allocation in this proceeding? 3 A.The Company’s last general rate case,IPC-E 4 11-08,was a settled case in which the parties to the case 5 were unable to reach agreement on an appropriate cost-of- 6 service methodology to be used to set rates.As a result, 7 the parties agreed to a uniform percentage increase for all 8 customer classes.In light of the differing views on cost— 9 of-service methodologies that still exist among those same 10 parties,the Company proposes the same allocation approach 11 be used to set rates in this case. 12 Q.How was the appropriate level of base revenues 13 attributable to the Electric Service Agreement (“ESA”)with 14 Hoku Materials,Inc.(“Hoku”)determined for the purpose of 15 allocating the Idaho jurisdictional revenue deficiency? 16 A.On February 17,2012,the Company,Hoku,and 17 Commission Staff filed a settlement stipulation in Case No. 18 IPC-E—12—02 requesting Commission approval of a reformed 19 ESA between the Company and Hoku.Under the terms of the 20 proposed reformed contract,Hoku’s monthly minimum billed 21 energy charge is set at $800,000 through June 2013,which, 22 as stated on page 5 of the proposed stipulation,is “to be 23 applied by Idaho Power to First Block Demand,Second Block 24 Demand,and First Block Energy charges.”Further,on pages 25 5 and 6,the stipulation states,“‘Idaho Power’s accounting TATUM,DI 14 Idaho Power Company 1 for each of these components will be treated the same as 2 the current treatment for each component under the current 3 [Amended Electric Service Agreement].” 4 For the purpose of allocating the Idaho 5 jurisdictional revenue deficiency in this proceeding,the 6 Company calculated base retail revenues for the June 1, 7 2012,through May 31,2013,test year according to the 8 terms of the filed settlement stipulation.As stated 9 above,expected payments from Hoku over the 12-month test 10 period reflect charges associated with First Block Demand, 11 Second Block Demand,and First Block Energy.Because First 12 Block Energy charges are treated as surplus sales for 13 ratemaking purposes,they are not included in the 14 allocation basis for the revenue deficiency.The remaining 15 two components,First Block and Second Block Demand,were 16 calculated for the June 1,2012,through May 31,2013,time 17 period to match the 2012 PCA test year.The total revenue 18 associated with these charges,calculated at $2,835,760, 19 was used as the allocation basis for Hoku’s portion of the 20 revenue deficiency. 21 Q.What is the Company’s proposal with regard to 22 rate design in this case? 23 A.The Company proposes to increase all base rate 24 components for each customer class on a uniform percentage 25 basis,with the exception of the service charge.The TATUM,DI 15 Idaho Power Company 1 Company is not recommending changes to the service charges 2 in this case because the service charge is generally 3 associated with the recovery of metering,customer service, 4 and billing costs and not with cost recovery related to 5 generating facilities. 6 IV.TARIFF RATES 7 Q.Has the Company prepared tariff sheets to 8 reflect the incremental increase in the Company’s revenue 9 requirement? 10 A.Yes.Attachment Nos.1 through 3 to the 11 Company’s Application in this proceeding contain tariff 12 related information.Attachment Nos.1 and 2 contain the 13 tariff sheets specifying the proposed rates on July 1, 14 2012,which reflect the revenue requirement for providing 15 retail electric service to the Company’s customers in the 16 state of Idaho,in both clean and legislative format, 17 respectively.Attachment No.3 to the Application shows a 18 comparison of revenues from various tariff customers under 19 Idaho Power’s current rates and charges with the 20 corresponding proposed new revenue levels resulting from 21 the proposed rates in this case. 22 Q.Does this conclude your testimony? 23 A.Yes,it does. 24 25 TATUM,DI 16 Idaho Power Company BEFORE THE IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION CASE NO.IPC-E-12-14 IDAHO POWER COMPANY TATUM,DI TESTIMONY EXHIBIT NO.2 La
