INTRODUCTION
The five CO~~:Jl'el WindEnergy Center LLCs are each located near Burley, Idaho, and are
1
each quaifying facllities ("QFs") entitled to contracts with rates set at Idao Power's ful
avoided .costs, undtr the Public Utility Reguatory Policies Act of 1978 ("PURP A"), as
implemented by the I Idaho Public Utilities Commssion. Alpha Wind LLC, Bravo Wind LLC,
Delta Win LLC, +d Echo Wind LLC will have an output of 29.9 megawatts ("MW"), and
Charlie Wind LLC ~ll have an output of 27.6 MW. Each will generate 10 average monthy
i
megawatt ("aMW") or less. The Cotterel WindEnergy Center LLCs and their predecessors and
parent cQmpanes bqgan developing these wid projects in 2001, and possess rights to use all
federal, state, and livate lands necessar for the projects. They have proceeded though a
System Impact S~y with Idaho Power for interconnection of a larger overal output of 177
MW, under a queue ~osition which the projects stil retan. Interconnection is feasible based on
the existig studies. I
In tota, the ¡developers of the five projects have spent approximately $7 millon. The
Cotterel WindEner~ Center LLCs' predecessor project was the fiist in Idaho Power's June
2009 wid request f~r proposas ("RFP").
On October :48,2010, the Cottel WindEnergy Center LLCs provided Idaho Power with
five stadard PUR A\ contracts contaning non-Ievelized rates in Order NQ. 31025, executed by
the Cottrel WindEhergy Center LLCs. Afer Idaho Power, along with A vista Utilities an

Power on November 8, 2010, alleging they were entitled to standard PUR4\ contracts and Idaho
Power had uneasonably requied the projects to proceed though unecessar interconnection
and transmission processes in response to the QFs' contract submittls vthen the QFs already
possessed the rights obtaned though Idao Power's Large Generator Intertonnection Process inj
its Open Access Transmission Tarff ("OA IT"). Idaho Power and the Cotterel WindEnergy
Center LLCs agreed to stay the complaint proceedings and execute stadaid QF wid contracts.
On Friday, December 10, 2010, afer the QFs agreed to proceed thoug~ Idaho Power's new
,
interconnection and transmission process in response to Idaho Power's cóntinued insistence to
use that process, Idaho Power provided five executable contrcts. The tottrel WindEnergy

Center LLCs executed the agreements on December 13, 2010, and sent them to Idao Power,
which executed the originals on December 15, 2010, and fied the contiacts for Commission
approval on December 16,2010.
On Februar 7, 2011, the Commission issued Order No. 32176, ~herein it reduced the
eligibilty cap to 100 kilowatts ("kw") for wind and solar QFs, and stated th~ effective date of the
i
order would be December 14,2010. Idaho Power inormed the QFs on Feb~ 23,2011, that it
had incorrectly determined the QFs must proceed though the new translission process, and
stated it would instead continue the process under Idaho Power's OATT, "\hich is how the QFs
proposed proceeding all along. Because the Cotterel WindEnergy Ce~ter LLCs meet any

LEGAL BACKGROUND

A. The Public etility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978's Mandatory Purchase Provisions
Ths case ~volves the Commission's implementation of the mandatory purchase
obligation of PURA, which requires electrc utilties to purchase power produced by
cogeneators or sma¡i power producers that obta statu as a QF. 16 U.S.C. § 824a-3(a)(2).
Congress's intent "-yas to encourage the promotion and development of renewable energy

itechnologies as alte~atives to fossil fuels and the constction of new generating facilties by
electrc utilities." R~sebud Enterprises, Inc. v. Idaho Pub. Uti!. Commn., 128 Idao 609, 613,
917 P.2d 766, 780 q996). "Traditional electrc utilties were reluctat to purchase power from,
i
and sell power to, ~e nontraditional facilties." FERC v. Mississippi, 456 U.S. 742, 750, 102
S.Ct. 2126, 2132-21ß3 (1982). To overcome ths problem, "§ 210(a) (of PURPA) directs the
I
(Federal Energy R~guatory Commission ("FERC")), in consultation with state reguatoryi
authorities, to promvlgate such rues as it determes necessar to encourage cogeneration and
smal power producjion, including rules requig utilties to offer to sell electrcity to, and
purchase electrcity from, quaifying cogeneration and small power production facilties." ld,

disputed whether ~ effective date of Order No. 32176 could be retroactively effective on
December 14, 2010.¡ For puroses of these comments, the Cotterel WindEnergy Center LLCs
will use December ~4, 2010, as the effective date, without conceding tht the Commission had
the authority to mak~ the reduction in the eligibilty cap retroactively effective.

QF's electrcal output is termed the avoided cost rate, which is the cost to tle utilty of producing
the energy itself or purchasing it from an alternative source. 16 U.S.C. § ~24a-3(b), (d). FERC
promulgated reguations requing utilities to compensate QFs for the utilitles' full avoided cost.
18 C.F.R. § 292.304(a), (b); Small Power Production and Cogeneration Fricilties; Regulations
Implementing Section 210 of the Public Utilty Regulatory Policy Act of 1978, 45 Fed. Reg.
12,214, 12,222-12,223 (Feb. 25, 1980). The U.S. Supreme Cour direqtly affirmed FERC's
"full-avoided-cost rue," American Paper Institute, Inc. v. FERC, 461 U~S. 402, 417-18, 103
S.Ct. 1921, 1930 (1983), and that rue is stil in effect today.
FERC's reguations entitle QFs to long term contract rates set at thelutilties' ful avoided
costs at the time the QF commits Itselfto a legally enforceable obligation ~o deliver its project's
ioutput. 18 C.F.R. § 292.304(a), (b), (d)(2)(ii); JD Wind 1, LLC, "Order :penyig 'Request for
¡
Rehearing, Reconsideration or Clarfication,'" 130 FERC ~ 61,127, ~ 23 ¡(Febru 19, 2010).
Furer, FERC's reguations requie utilities to publish "stadard rates" a~ailable for long term
i
contracts available to QFs below a state-implemented maximum generating capacity. 18 C.F.R.
§ 292.304(c)(l)-(3). The Idaho Commssion requies utilities in Idaho to !make the rates in the
published rate schedule available to QFs tht generate less than 10 aMW. $ee u.s. Geothermal,

B. PURP A Gr~ndfatherig Criteria
When the puplished rates chage, or become otherse unvailable to a QF before the QF
can obta a contr~ the QF is entitled to grandfathered rates if it can "demonstrate tht 'but for'
,
the actions of (the utility, the QF) was otherwse entitled to a power purchase contract." Earth
Power Resources, I1(c. v. Washington Water Power Company, Case No. WWP-E-96-6, Order
No. 27231 (1997) I(fidig utility delayed negotiations and therefore QF was entitled to
,
grandfathred rate); fee also Blind Canyon Aquaranch v. Idaho Power Company, Case No. IPC-
E-94..1, Order No. 45802 (1994); Snow Mountain Pine v. Maudin, 84 Or. App. 590, 600, 734
P.2d 1366, 1371 (19S7).
i
The most o(ierous test the Commssion has ever used for determning grandfather
i
eligibilty is the pre. pled complaint test. This test requires, prior to the effective date of the rate
i1
change, the QF mustl have obtaed an executed contract, or have filed a meritorious complait at
the Commssion all~ging it is entitled to a contract. See A. W Brown Co., Inc. v. Idaho Power
Co., 121 Idaho 812, 1816.18, 828 P.2d 841, 845-47 (1992). The Idaho Supreme Cour has never
,
mandated ths test ~ the Commssion's only available way to test whether a QF had effected a
legally enforceable lobligation, and the Commission has not applied ths onerous pre-filed
complait test consi~tently. See, e.g., Blind Canyon Aquaranch, Order No. 25802; Earth Power
Resources, Inc., Order No. 27231.

PROCEDURA AND FACTUAL BACKGROUND
A. Development Overview
Boise-based Windland Inc. began development of the wind ~esource on Cotterel
Mountain in 2001. Affdavit of Kevin Simmons, at ~ 3. Windland and Shell Wind Energy Inc.
("SWE") entered into a Project Development Agreement in 2003 to ijointly share in the
,
development and costs associated with permittng a wid generatig comp~ex of up to 200 MW
in capacity. ld at ~ 4. Although Windland retains a substatial financial iilerest in the project's
success, in 2008, SWE purchased the controllng interest in the project frqm Windland and has
been continuing the development, environmenta monitoring and marketina of the project. ld at
~ 5.
,
Since development began in 2001 the development parers have I performed extensive
wind data collection and analyses, constrctabilty reviews, an intensive ~d a very expensive
¡
Environmental Impact Study required due to the project's location on ijd managed by the
i
United States Bureau of Land Management, and other related project develppment activities. ld
at ~ 6. To date, the parners have invested approximately $7 millon. ld ~ ~ 7. They curently
i
possess all real property rights and permits necessar to build the QF projects, as well as the
necessar local zoning permits. ld. at ~~ 9-15.
In addition to a capital investment of close to $300 millon ~equied to complete
development of the QFs, the project will provide signficant local lienefits in terms of
constrction jobs (approximately 250) and full time jobs (approximately 1 $), property taes and
other direct benefits for the local economy. ld at ~ 8.

B. Discussions fith Idaho Power prior to PURP A submittal
Because the totterel Mounta wid resource area lies withn the Idaho Power's servce
terrtory and is very p.ear the Idaho Power transmission system, Windland began discussions with
Idao Power in 200f' Id. at mr 20-21. In 2006, SWE bid the Cotterel Mountan Project into
Idao Power's RFP ¡seeking up to 150 MW of wid energy. Id at ir 22. Idaho Power did not
select the Cotterel ~ounta Project in that RFP, but Idaho Power subsequently solicited a
proPQsal from Swq to sell the development rights to Idaho Power. Id. at irir 23-24. SWE
expended time and ~xpenses to submit a detaled proposal, but Idaho Power never responded to
SWE's proposa. Idi at ir 24-25.
i
SWE biddedlthe Cotterel Mounta Project into Idaho Power's 2009 RFP, as a 150 MW
i
project. Id at ir 26. i In late 2009, Idaho Power informed SWE that it had selected the Cotterel
Mounta Wind ProjFct as a short-list bidder. Id. at ir 27. After many months of negotiations, it
appeaed to SWE th~t the final contract terms were setted in July 2010. ld at ir 28. But Idaho
,
Power subsequently ireqiiested very signficant additional concessions and ultimately terminated
the negotiations and i closed the RFP in sumer 2010. Id at ir 29. At tht time, SWE was still
i
interested in contint$g the negotiations to reach a final agreement. Id at ir 30.
t
Though the years, Windland and SWE have been engaged in the interconnection process
with Idao Power's ¡ interconnection and transmission personnel though Idao Power's Large
Generator Interconntction Process under its OATT. Id at ir 31. Idao Power first completed an
interconnection feastbilty study on July 1, 2005, which indicated that up to 240 MW could be
saely injected into tle local tranmis~on system at cost acceptable to the development parers.

In October 2009, SWE re-activated the interconnection process with Idao Power for a
project of a reduced size of 177 MW, and was told that because no new generation had been
i
i
proposed in the area since the original Feasibilty Study in 2005 Idaho! Power would move
,
directly into the System Impact Study ("SIS") as Generator No. 302. ld. * ~ 34. Idaho Power
completed the SIS on March 15,2010, which concluded tht the ful outputiof 177 MW could be
successfully integrated into the Idao Power Transmission system at the point of interconnection
without signficant modifications to the transmission system. fd. at ~ 35.! The Project entered
into a Facilities Study Agreement on April 22, 2010. ld. at ~ 36. In Jul~ 2010, Idaho Power
:
contacted SWE regarding the Facilty Design Study and began to arangb a senes of calls to
i
discuss constrction costs and schedules to meet a December 2012 online diite. fd. at ~ 37.
C. The Qualifing Facilties' Contracts Submittals
In fall 2010, SWE developed five quaifying facilties at the Co~erel Mounta Wind
Complex. ld. at ~ 38. Alpha Wind LLC, Bravo Wind LLC, Delta Wind LLC, and Echo Wind
i:
LLC will each have an output of 29.9 MW, and Charlie Wind LLC will h~ve an output of 27.6
i
MW. fd. at ~ 39. These QFs will each generate 10 megawatt or les~ when the output is
,
i
averaged over any given month. fd. The generation equipment of each i~ separated by at least
ì
one mile at the closest points. fd. In October 2010, the five projects were¡ each self-certified as
quaifying facilties. ld. at ~ 40.
,
On October 28,2010, the Cotterel WindEnergy Center LLCs provi4ed Idaho Power with. ¡
five standard PURPA contracts contanig the non-Ievelized rates in OrderlNo. 31025, executed

by the Cottrel Win~nergy Center LLCs. Id. at ~ 41. These five contracts were mirror images
of the most recentlyl approved wind QF stadad contrct at the time (from Case No. IPC-E-09-
25), with the except~on that the Cotterel WindEnergy Center LLCs' contracts contained different
project specifics, lqwer rates contaed in Order No. 31025, and a higher delay liquidated
damges securty anount of $45 per kw consistent with the most recent QF contracts. Id at ~ 42
and Exhbits 1 - 5.3! SWE provided a cover letter with each of the contra.cts indicating that the
QFs planed to use la single point of interconnection and continue though the interconnection
process aleady in progress under Generator Interconnection Request No. 302. Id. at ~ 43 and
¡
Exhbits 1 - 5.
SWE also c9ntacted Idao Power transmission and interconnection personnel to inorm
them of the reducedjoverall output of the projects to 147 MW and a change in tubine. Id. at ~
44. But on Novemqer 4, 2010, Idaho Power sent letters of understading requirig that SWE
agree, prior to exeaution of the PUR A agreements, that SWE would proceed though new
interconnection anditransmission processes. Id at ~ 45. Idaho Power's proposed letters of
understading requited a signatue agreeing to the new process with new milestones to be
achieved before po~er purchase contrcts execution, and included draft Network Resource
Integration Study Agreements, and Tranmission Capacity Application Questionnaires for each
QF. Id at ~ 46.
i3 These October 28th contracts are attched as Exhbits 1-5 to the Affdavit of Kevin
Simmons. In each o~ the individua cases, the Cotterel WindEnergy Center LLCs have attched
only the Exhibit correspondig to the contract at issue in that case. For example, only the
October 28th contratt submitt applicable to the Alpha Wind LLC project is filed with the
Affdavit of Kevin SiJrmons in Case No. IPC-E-I0-5L.

Then, on November 5, 2010, Idaho Power, along with Avista IUtilities and Rocky
Mountan Power, filed the Joint Motion to Reduce the Published Rate Eliglbilty Cap. See Case
No. GNR-E-1O-04. The Cotterel WindEnergy Center LLCs each fied co~plaits against Idaho
Power on November 8, 2010, alleging they were entitled to stadad co$acts and that Idao1,
Power had insisted on an unecessar interconnection and transmissi~n process when the
projects possessed rights acquired though Generator Interconnection Requ~st No. 302. See Case
Nos. IPC-E-I0-51, IPC-E-1O-52, IPC-E-I0-53, IPC-E-1O-54, and IPC-E-1O-55. The

On Decembdr 21,2010, Idao Power's PURA contracts admstration deparent sent
letters to each of th~ QFs assertg that each project must sign a Network Resource Integration
Study Agreement ~d submit a deposit of $2,000 by Janua 3, 2011. ld at ~ 55. Idaho Power
stated ths was nece$sar under the new transmission process, outlined in its November 4,2010
letters of understaamg, and tht if the QFs did not submit the deposit and the agreement by
Janua 3, 2011, th~ network tranmission request would be withdrwn. ld at ~~ 56-57. The
letter provided for ~o delay in ths requiement for the intervenig holidays. ld. at ~ 57. The
Cotterel WindEnergf Center LLCs signed the Network Resource Integrtion Study Agreements
on December 30, 2QlO, electronically maled scaned copies to Idaho Power on December 31,
2010, and sent the qriginals by overnght delivery on that same day to ensure that they would

the curent wid ~tegration charge protects ratepayers, and because the projects obligated
themselves prior to lle effective date of the eligibilty cap reduction, the QFs submit that Idaho
Power's concern s~ould not preclude Commission approval of the contracts.
First, the Oommssion should consider the system reliabilty and wind integration
discussion in the ¡Nortwest and Intermountain Power Producers Coalition's ("NIPPC")
Comments in GNR~E-I0-04. See NIPPC Opening Comments, Case No. GNR-E-I0-04, pp. 13-
16 (Dec. 22, 2010). In those Comments, NIPPC pointed out that, despite Idaho Power's
statements in the Jo~t Motion regarding 1100 MW being near Idaho Power's minimum loads,
Idaho PQwer'sown Wind integration study concluded that even at 1200 MW of wid capacity on
the Company's sys$m, wind would reach only 80% of its loads and it would do so only for a
few hours per year. ~ee Enemex's Idaho Power 2007 Wind Study, Case No. IPC-E-07-03, p. 34,

projects comig Onl~ne when Idao Power's cumulative wid power is "501 MW and above."
See Order No. 3048', at p. 8. There is no upper cap contaned in the order, and Idao Power has

Center LLCs are online in December 2014. See NIPPC Opening Commenrs, Case No. GNR-E-
10-04, at p. 15. The Commission should also consider that the rates in thes~ PURA agreements
are lower than those in contracts and self-built projects recently approved for Idao Power. See
NIPPC Reply Comments, Case No. GNR-E-10-04, pp. 15-20 (Jan. 21,2011).
Furer, the FESAs for each QF contan extensive protections for ratepayers which
address the concerns raised by Idaho Power's application. Idaho Power warants that the
Agreements comport with the terms and conditions of the varous Commss~on Orders applicable
,
to PURA agreements for a wind resource. See Application, at p. 4 (citiIg Order Nos. 30415,
30488, 30738 and 31025). Accordig to those orders, the rate in the F!ESA for each of the
projects is reduced by the Idaho Power's wid integration charge. Order Woo 30488, at pp. 8-9.
The contracts also contan a Mechancal Availabilty Guarantee, which req~res reduced payment
to the QF if its tubines are unavailable for inexcusable reasons. Id The Icontracts requie that
the QF share in the costs of wind forecasting. Id. The FESAs also providJ for a reduced rate at
times of the day and months of the year when the. energy is wort less tq Idao Power due to
demand and regional market conditions. See Order No. 30415.
Each QF has selected December 31, 2014, as its Scheduled Operatipn Date, and sections
5.3.2 and 5.8.1 of each FESA contans a liquidated daage and securty pr~vision of $45 per kw

I, Kevin Simmons, do declare the following and if called to testify, would and could
competently testify thereto:
1. I am over the age of 18, and am employed by Shell WindEnergy Inc. in BusineSS
Development.
2. I have directly worked on the development of the qualifying facilties known as
Alpha Wind LLC, Bravo Wind LLC, Charlie Wind LLC, Delta Wind LLC, and Echo Wind
LLC, each of which is managed by Cotterel WindEnergy Center LLC (collectively the "Cotterel
WindEnergy Center LLCs"), and I have personal knowledge of the facts set forth in this affdavit
based upon my work in the development of these projects.
Summary of Development Efforts
3. Development of the Cotterel Mountain Wind Complex ("Complex") was begun
by Boise~based Windland Inc. in 2001.
4. Windland and Shell Wind Energy Inc. ("SWE") entered into a Development
Agreement in 2003 to jointly share in the development and costs associated with permitting up to
AFPlDA VIT OF KEVIN SIMMONS
PAGE 2
200 megawatts ("MW") of wind generation at the Complex.
5. Although Windland retains a substantial financial interest in the Complex's
success, in 2008, SWE purchased the controllng interest in the Complex from Windland and has
been continuing the development, environmental monitoring and marketing of the Complex.
6. Since 2001, the development parers have performed extensive wind data
collection and analyses, constrctabilty reviews, an intensive and a very expensive full
Environmental Impact Study puruant to the National Environmental Policy Act ("NEPA"), and
other related development activities.
7. To date the parers have invested approximately $7 millon dollars in these
matue wind development projects.
8. In addition to a capital investment of close to $300 milion required to complete
development of the QFs, the project will provide significant local benefits in terms of
construction jobs (approximately 250) and full time jobs (approximately 18), property taes and
other direct benefits for the local economy.
Real Property Rights
9. The Cotterel Mountan wind resource area is aligned along the approximately 14-
mile-long Cotterel Mountain ndgeline. All 5 of the Cotterel WindEnergy Center LLC QFs are
located in this wid resource area.
10. The associated transmission line runs north of the Complex for 19 miles to a
location nort of the Minidoka substation where it wil tie into Idaho Power's 138 kilovolt ("kv")
Minidoka-Adelaide transmission line.
11. The entire Cotterel Mountain Wind resource area within which the QFs will be
located consists of over 5,500 acres, and is comprised primarily of Bureau of Land Management
AFFIDAVIT OF KEVIN SIMMONS
PAGE 3
("BLM") and Idaho State lands but also includes transmission easements that have been
procured from four private landowners.
12. The BLM lands are secured puruat to a right~of~way (49~year lease) granted in
August 2006.
13. The necessar lands managed by the State of Idao are securd by a lease.
14. The four private landowners have granted easements across their respective
properties.
15. All land use rights have been assigned to Cotterel WindEnerg Center LLC.
Local Zoning Approvals
16. In 2007, Casia County granted the managers of the Cotterel WindEnergy Center
LLC a conditional use permit for the building of the necessar transmission line across the
private landowners' propert.
17. The wind fars themselves are an approved land use and need no Conditional
Use Permit.
18. Minidoka County granted a Special Use Perit for a transmission and substation
easement at the point of interconnection on the Idaho Power transmission line.
19. Both permits have been assigned to Cotterel WindEnergy Center LLC.
Discussions with Idaho Power for sale of energy and capacity
20. Because the Cotterel Mountain wind resource area lies within the Idaho Power's
service terrtory and is very near the Idaho Power transmission system, Windland and SWE have
always considered Idaho Power to be a logical purchaser of the output.
21. Windland began discussions with John Prescott, then Idaho Power's Vice
President, Power Supply in 2002, and subsequently with Mr. Prescott's successor, Jim Miler,
AFFIDAVIT OF KEVIN SIMMONS
PAGE 4
t
then Senior Vice President, Power Supply, in 2004.
22. In 2006, SWE bid the Cotterel Mountain Project into Idaho Power's request for
proposals ("RFP") seeking up to 150 MW of wind energy.
23. Idaho Power did not select the Cotterel Mountain Project in that RFP.
24. Idaho Power subsequently solicited a proposal frm the project in 2007, to sell the
development rights to Idaho Power, and the parters expended time and expense to submit a
detailed proposaL.
25. Idaho Power never responded to the proposal tö sell the development rights to the
wind resource area.
26. SWE bidded the Cotterel Mountain Project into Idaho Power's 2009 RFP, as a
150 MW project.
27. Idaho Power infonned SWE in October 2009 that it had selected the Cotterel
Mountain Wind project as the short-list bidder.
28. SWE engaged in many months of negotiations, and it appeared to SWE that the
final contrct terms were settled in July 2010.
29. Idaho Power subsequently requested very signficant additional concessions and
ultimately tenninated the negotiations in August 2010.
30. At the time the negotiations ceased, SWE was stil interested in cöntinuing the
negotiations to reach a final agreement.
Project Interconnection and Transmission
31. Windland and SWE have been engaged in the interconnection process with Idaho
Power's interconnection and transmission personnel for years through Idaho Power's Large
Generator Interconnection Process under its Open Access Transmission Tarff ("OA TT").
AFFIDAVIT OF KEVIN SIMMONS
PAGE 5
"
,
32. Idaho Power assigned Generator Interconnection No. 302, and Idaho Power first
completed an interconnection feasibility study on July 1,2005.
33. The results of that study indicated that up to 240 MW could be safely injected into
the local trsmission system at cost acceptable to the development parners.
34. In October 2009, SWE re-activated the interconnection process with Idaho Power
for a project of a reduced size of 177 MW, and was told that because no new generation had been
proposed in the area since the original Feasibilty Study in 2005 Idaho Power would move
directly into the System Impact Study ("SIS").
35. Idaho Power completed the SIS on March 15,2010, which concluded that the full
output of 177 MW could be successfully integrted into the Idaho Power Transmission system at
the point of interconnection without significant modifications to the transmission system.
36. The Project entered into a Facilities Study Agreement on April 22, 2010.
37. In July 2010, Idaho Power contacted SWE regarding the Facility Design Study
and began to arange a series of calls to discuss constrction costs and schedules to meet a
December 2012 online date.
Qualìfving Facilty Contract Requests
38. In fall 2010, SWE decided to exercise its rights under the mandatory purchase
provisions of the Public Utilties Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 to sell the output under long~
term contracts with Idaho Power.
39. SWE developed five projects for a cumulative output of less than it bid into the
RFPs. Alpha Wind LLC, Bravo Wind LLC, Delta Wind LLC, and Echo Wind LLC will each
have an output of 29.9 megawatts ("MW"), and Charlie Wind LLC wil have an output of 27.6
MW. These QFs are developed to each generate 10 megawatts or less when the output is
AFFIDAVIT OF KEVIN SIMMONS
PAGE 6
f
averaged over any given month. The generation equipment of each QF is separated by at least
one mile at the closest points.
40, In October 2010, the five projects were each self-certified as qualifying facilties.
41. On October 28, 2010, the Cotterel WindEnergy Center LLCs provided Idaho
Power with five stadard PURP A contracts contaning the non-levelized rates in Order No.
31025, executed by the Cotterel WindEnergy Center LLCs.
42. These five contracts were mirror images of the most recently approved wind QF
standard contract at the time (from Case No. IPC-E-09-25), with the exception that the Cotterel
WindEnergy Center LLCs' contracts contaned different project specifics, lower rates contained
in Order No. 31025, and a higher delay liquidated damages security amount of $45 per kilowatt
("kw") consistent with the most recent QF contracts. I have attched tre and correct copies of
the October 28,2010 contract submitts as Exhibits 1-5 to this affdavit.
43. SWE provided a cover letter with each of the contrcts submitted indicating that
the QFs planed to use a single point of interconnection and continue through the
interconnection process already in progress for Generator Interconnection Request No. 302.
44. SWE also contacted Idaho Power transmission and interconnection personnel to
inform them of the reduced overall output of the projects to 147 MW and a change in tubine.
45. On November 4, 2010, Idaho Power sent letters of understanding requiring that
8WE agree, prior to execution of the PURP A agreements, that SWE would proceed through new
interconnection and transmission processes.
46. Idaho Power's proposed letters of understanding required a signature agreeing to
the new process with new milestones to be achieved before power purchase contracts execution,
and included draft Network Resource Integration Study Agreements, and Transmission Capacity
AFFIDAVIT OF KEVIN SIMMONS
PAGE 7
l
Application Questionnaires for each QF.
47. Then, on November 5, 2010, Idaho Power, along with Avista Utilties and Rocky
Mountain Power, filed the Joint Motion to Reduce the Published Rate Eligibility Cap.
48. The Cotterel WindEnergy Center LLCs each filed complaints against Idaho
Power on November 8, 2010, allegig they were entitled to standad contracts and that Idaho
Power had insisted on an unecessa interconnection and transmission process when the
projects possessed rights acquired though Generator Interconnection Request No. 302. The
Commission docketed the complait cases as Case Nos. IPC-E-10-51, IPC-E-I0-52, IPC-E-I0-
53, IPC-E-I0-54, andIPC-E-I0-55.
49. After the Commission did not grt the immediate reduction in the published rate
eligibilty cap requested by the Joint Utilties, on November 19, 2010, Idaho Power and the
Cotterel WindEnergy Center LLCs agreed to stay the complaint proceeding and execute standard
QF wind contracts contaning the published rates.
50. On November 30, 2010, Idaho Power provided 5 draf contracts substantially
similar to the QFs' drafts modeled on the IPC-E-09-25 contract and delivered by SWE on
October 28,2010.
51. Idaho Power again insisted in a letter dated December 7,2010, that the QFs agree
to proceed though a different process for securng transmission to Idaho Power's load center
from that in the OATT under their existing Generator Interconnection No. 302.
52. Because Idaho Power insisted this new process was a prerequisite to obtaining
executed power sale contracts, SWE had previously signed and submitted the November 4, 2010
letters of understanding, and now each individual QFs submitted the Transmission Capacity
Application Questionnaire on December 9,2010.
AFFIDAVIT OF KEVIN SIMMONS
PAGE 8
,
53. On Friday, December 10, 2010, Idaho Power tendered five executable contrcts
which were substantially similar to those submitted by the Cottèrel WindEnergy Center LLCs on
October 28,2010.
54. The Cotterel WindEnergy Center LLCs executed the agreements on December
13, 2010, and sent them to Idaho Power, which executed the originals on December 15, 2010,
and filed the contracts for Commssion approval on December 16,2010.
55. On December 21, 2010, Idaho Power's PURPA contracts administrtion
deparent sent letters to each of the QFs assertng that each project must sign a Network
Resource Integration Study Agreement and submit a deposit of $2,000 by Januar 3, 2011.
56. Idaho Power stated ths was necessar under the new transmission process,
outlined in its November 4, 2010 letters of understanding, to study the abilty to designte each
project as a network resource.
57. Idaho Power's December 21 letter stated that if the QFs did not submit the deposit
and the agrement by Januar 3, 2011, the network transmission request would be withdrawn.
The lètter provided for no delay in this requirement for the intervening holidays.
58. I understood this nèW process implemented under PURPA to be different from the
process under which SWE had been proceeding pursuant to the OATT.
59. The Cotterel WindEnergy Center LLCs signed the Network Resource Integration
Study Agreements on December 30, 2010, electronically mailed scanned copies to Idaho Power
on December 31,2010, and sent the originals by overnight delivery on that same day to ensure
that they would arive on Monday, Januar 3, 2011.
60. The QFs transferred the $2,000 for each QF by wire transfer on January 3, 2011.
61. Subsequently, on February 22, 2011, Idaho Power refunded the $10,000 provided
AFFIDA VIT OF KEVIN SIMMONS
PAGE 9
.
for the new transmission study process.
62. Idaho Power stated in a letter from its trsmission personnl on Februar 23,
2011, that it approved SWE's changes from the origìnal Generator Interconnection request of
177 MW to a smaller interconnection of only 148 MW for PURP A projects, and would proceed
with the same Project No. 302 under the Large Generation Interconnection Procedures of the
OATT.
63. This is the process SWE requested Idao Power follow for the QFs when SWE
first submitted contracts on October 28, 2010, and the process SWE alleged it was entitled to
follow ìn the Complaints filed on November 8, 2010.
64. I understand that this OATT process will analyze Idao Power's abilty to bring
the output to native load and identify whether any network upgrades are required, and that Idaho
Power now agrees with SWE's position that the Cotterel WindEnergy Center QFs may proceed
through the interconnection process under the OATT.

PURP A Contl'acts Adminstraor

Boise, Idao 83702
Re: Echo Wind LLC PURP A PPA Submittal
Dea Mr. Allphin:
I wrte on behalf of Echo Wind LLC to reues that Idao Power counter-sign the enclose powe
purchase agreement (pP A) for Echo Wind LLC to sell the output of its wind energ facilty to Idaho
Power as a qualifY facilty (QF) under the Public Utilities Reguatory Policy Act of 1978
(PURP A). Echo Wind LLC intends for ths submittl to fuy obligate itself
to the enclosed
stanrd PPA ~ecuted by Echo Wind LLC to operate as a QF uner 10 averge monthly
megawatts (aM. I have also enclosed the Form 556 Notice of Self Certfication as a QF filed
yesterday by Echo Wind LLC with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commssion.
As you may be awat Idaho Power has alredy engaged in extensive negotiations regaring a
larei't single project with Cottere1 Winerg Cente LLC at the wid site on Cotterl Mountan
near Burley, Idaho. Cotterl WindEnergy Center LLC is the parent compay of Echo Wind LLC,
and as such is trferring to Echo Wind LLC th development rights necessa to perform under
the enclosed PP A. Thust Idaho Power should be aware of this site and that it is matu and reay to
be developed.
The enclosed PURP A PPA conta the standard rates~ tennst and conditions approved by the Idah
Public Utilities Commion (Commssion) for projects that will deliver under 10 aMW. Those
ter inlude th rates in effect today (Order No. 31025) with the daily and seasonaity load shape
price adjustments (Order No. 30415)t as well as the wind integration chare, mechanical avalabilty
guaratee, and wind foreastig and cost sharing provisions (Order No. 30488).
For consistency with Idao Power's PPAs, the enclosed Echo Wind LLC PPA copied the terms and
conditions from the most recently appve PURPA wind PPA for a pi'oject under i 0 aMW -- too
Idaho Winds LtC PPA, which is on file at the Commission in Case No. IPC..i;09-25. Other than
the Echo Wind LLC's design and site specifics, the only difference fÌ'Om the Idao Winds LLC PPA
is th of the price aiid the amount of delay seurity. The piice schedules in the enclosed PPA are
Mr. Allphin
October 28,2010
Page 2
derved from the non~levelized rate schedule in Order No. 31025 (not Order No. 30744 as in the
Idaho Winds LLC PPA). Additionally, the price schedules include a reuction of $6.501 MWh for
the wìnd integrtion chare during all hours and all years, as we assume tha Idao Power will be
using the $6.50IMWh charge at the relevt tim per the wind integrtion chage calculation
formula approved in Order No. 30488. Echo Wind LLC intends to obligate itself only to th
apppriate rates utilzing that formula. Finaly, Echo Wmd LLC unde that Idaho Power has
begun requiring a delay security of $45/k, while the Idaho Wind LLC PP A executed a little over
a year ago utiize only a $201k delay security. To avoid confict, Echo Wind LLC intends to
obligate itself to the $45/k delay security, an has included that amount in the enclos PP A.
Echo Wind LLC will he near four other PUR A QFs -- Alpha Wind LLC, Bravo Wind LLC,
Charlie Wind LLC, and Delta Win LLC. Echo Wind LLC will have its owi meter to reort
generaion to Idao Power, but each ofthe five QFs will interconnectto Idaho Power's system at
the single point of interconnection with the four other QFs. That point of interconnection wil be the
point studied under Lae Generator Request No. 302. That reques secured tranmission acces for
up to 177 MW of capaity for Cotterel Windnergy Center LLC. Thus, there should be no issues
with Idaho Power's abilty to accept an integrte the 147.2 MW of cumulatie outp of Echo
Wind LLC and the four other neai-by QFs.
I look forwar to hearing back from you at your earliest convenence.
Very tiuly yours,t?:ÚJ~

coll.eetor system. The lndividual generatin, units have reactive power
çapa,bUities Qf 1,114 kVArl.igging and 1.114 kVAR leading. Unless otherwise
constrained. the facility will operate during weather conditions favorable to
energy production (hub heiç¡ht wind speeds between 4 and 25 mIs, temperatures

wõUld unreasonablY fàtigl.è the màchines). \ilhile estimated values have been
prõvide in lines 7a - 7f, there is som uncertainty in these numrs relating to
the degree of !'aeible generåtoiz over-efficiency, uncertainty in the iength of
thecöllèction system. uncertainty in soil electrical propeties, whether to
assum that there would be time pèriods when all 13 turbines are operating at
fUll capacity and other considerations. Given that some of these factors could
cause a sliç¡ht over- estimte of actual loss values while others could result in
a slight 4nderestimate, we currently take the conservative view that the facility
output nameplate will be 29,900 kW.
