LLC PP A is that of the price and the amount of delay security. The pi'Ice schedules in the enclosed
PPA are derived fi'om the non-Ievelized rate schedule in Order No. 31025 (not Order No. 30744 as
in the Idao Wins LLC PPA). Additionally, the price schedules include a reuction of$6.501
MWh for the wid integrtion charge durng all hours and al years, as we assume that Idaho Power
wil be using the $6.501M charge at the relevant times per the wind integrtion cha
calculation formula approved in Order No. 30488. Alpha Wind LLC intends to obligae itself only
to the appropriate rates utilizing that fonnula. Finay~ Alpha Wind LLC understands tbat Idaho
Power has beg requiring a delay securty of $451k, while the Idaho Winds LLC PPA executed a
little over a year ago utilized only a $20/kw delay security. To avoid confict, Alpha Wind LLC
intends to obligate itself to the $45/kw delay seurty~ and has included that amount in the enclosed
PPA.
Alpha Wind LLC will be near four other PUR A QFs -- Bravo Wind LLC, Charlie Wind LLC,
Delta Wind LLC, and Echo Wind LLC. Alpha Wind LLC wil have its own meter to report
generation to Idaho Power, but each of the five QFs wiil interconnect to Idao Power'ssystein at
the single point of interconnection with the four other QFs. That point of interconnection wil be the
point studied under Large Generator Request No. 302. That request secured transmission access for
up to 177 MW of capacity for Cotterl Windnergy Center LLC. Thus, there should be no issues
with Idaho Power's abilty to accept and integrate the 147.2 MW of cumulative output of Alpha
Wind LLC and th four other nearby QFs.
I look forwad to heari back from you at your earliest convenience.
