On Oct. 22, the Idaho Public Utilities Commission
(IPUC) issued an order stating that the investments
Idaho Power made in 2011 for Custom Efficiency
projects were prudently incurred. On Oct. 31, Idaho
Power filed a proposal to recover those amounts in
rates. The incremental annual revenue requested in
this filing is $2,949,340, a 0.32% increase. Through the
Custom Efficiency program, Idaho Power has been
able to attain verified cost-effective energy savings
that benefit customers through lower net power
supply expenses.
The company is requesting an effective date of Dec.
1, 2012, in its filing. However, we anticipate that the
IPUC will evaluate our request over a longer period
of time such that any resulting rate change will not
become effective until June 1, 2013, to coincide
with other annual rate changes associated with
the Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) and the Fixed
Cost Adjustment (FCA). If approved, this charge
will be included as part of the "Annual Adjustment
Mechanism" line item on customer bills, which
currently contains charges associated with the PCA
and FCA.
The chart on the reverse illustrates the overall
percentage change for each major customer class
as a result of this filing. The varying percentages of
overall increase for each customer class reflect the
differences in the price each class pays for electricity.
