Idaho Power Company Supplement 1: Cost-Effectiveness
SUPPLEMENT 1: COST-EFFECTIVENESS
Cost-Effectiveness
Idaho Power considers cost-effectiveness of primary importance in the design, implementation,
and tracking of energy efficiency and demand response programs. Idaho Power’s energy efficiency and
demand response opportunities are preliminarily identified through the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP)
process. Idaho Power uses third-party energy efficiency potential studies to identify achievable cost-effective energy efficiency potential that is added to the resources included in the IRP. In early 2014, Idaho Power convened a Program Planning Group to explore new opportunities to expand current
demand-side management (DSM) programs and offerings. Because of Idaho Power’s diversified
portfolio of programs, most of the new potential for energy efficiency in Idaho Power’s service area is
based on additional measures to be added to existing programs rather than developing new programs.
Prior to the actual implementation of energy efficiency or demand response programs, Idaho Power performs a cost-effectiveness analysis to assess whether a potential program design or measure will be
cost-effective from the perspective of Idaho Power and its customers. Incorporated in these models are
inputs from various sources that use the most current and reliable information available. When possible,
Idaho Power leverages the experiences of other utilities in the region and/or throughout the country to help identify specific program parameters. This is accomplished through discussions with other utilities’ program managers and researchers. Idaho Power also uses electric industry research organizations, such
as ESource, the Edison Electrical Institute (EEI), Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE), American
Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE), Advanced Load Control Alliance (ALCA), and
Association of Energy Service Professionals (AESP), to identify similar programs and their results. Additionally, Idaho Power relies on the results of program impact evaluations and recommendations from consultants. In 2014, Idaho Power contracted with ADM Associates, Inc.; CLEAResult
Consulting, Inc.; Evergreen Economics; Johnson Consulting Group; and Tetra Tech, MA for program
evaluations and research.
Idaho Power’s goal is for all programs to have benefit/cost (B/C) ratios greater than one for the total resource cost (TRC) test, utility cost (UC) test, and participant cost test (PCT) at the program and measure level where appropriate. If a particular measure or program is pursued even though it will not
be cost-effective from each of the three tests, Idaho Power works with the Energy Efficiency Advisory
Group (EEAG) to get input. If the measure or program is indeed offered, the company explains why the
measure or program was implemented or continued. The company believes this aligns with the expectations delineated in the memorandum of understanding (MOU) under Idaho Public Utilities Commission (IPUC) Case No. IPC-E-09-09 and Public Utility Commission of Oregon (OPUC) Order
No. 94-590.
In the OPUC Order No. 94-590, issued in UM 551, the OPUC outlines specific cost-effectiveness
guidelines for energy efficiency measures and programs managed by program administrators. It is the expectation of the OPUC that measures and programs pass both the UC and TRC tests. Measures and programs which do not pass these tests may be offered by a utility if they meet one or more of the
following additional conditions specified by Section 13 of Order No. 94-590.
A. The measure produces significant non-quantifiable non-energy benefits
B. Inclusion of the measure will increase market acceptance and is expected to lead to reduced cost of the measure C. The measure is included for consistency with other DSM programs in the region
Demand-Side Management 2014 Annual Report Page 1
Supplement 1: Cost-Effectiveness Idaho Power Company
D. Inclusion of the measure helps to increase participation in a cost-effective program
E. The package of measures cannot be changed frequently, and the measure will be cost effective
during the period the program is offered
F. The measure or package of measures is included in a pilot or research project intended to be offered to a limited number of customers
G. The measure is required by law or is consistent with OPUC policy and/or direction
If Idaho Power determines a program or measures is not cost-effective but meets one or more of the
exceptions set forth by Order No. 94-590, the company files an exceptions request with the OPUC to
continue offering the measure or program within it its Oregon service area.
Idaho Power endeavors to offer identical programs in both its Oregon and Idaho jurisdictions since some
customers, contractors, and trade allies operate in both states. Program consistency is important for the
participants’ overall satisfaction with the programs. Offering different program designs would create
confusion in the marketplace, could inhibit participation, and would add to administration costs.
In addition, program infrastructure is designed to implement consistent programs across the service area.
Methodology
For its cost-effectiveness methodology, Idaho Power relies on the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) End Use Technical Assessment Guide (TAG); the California Standard Practice Manual and its
subsequent addendum, the National Action Plan for Energy Efficiency’s (NAPEE) Understanding
Cost-Effectiveness of Energy Efficiency Programs: Best Practices, Technical Methods, and Emerging
Issues for Policy-Makers; and the National Action Plan on Demand Response. Traditionally, Idaho Power has primarily used the TRC test and the UC test to develop B/C ratios to determine the cost-effectiveness of DSM programs. These tests are still used because, as defined in the TAG and
California Standard Practice Manual, they are most similar to supply-side tests and provide a useful
basis to compare demand-side and supply-side resources.
For energy efficiency programs, each program’s cost-effectiveness is reviewed annually from a one-year perspective. The annual energy-savings benefit value is summed over the life of the measure or program and is discounted to reflect 2014 dollars. The result of the one-year perspective is shown in
Supplement 1: Cost-Effectiveness. Appendix 4 of the main Demand-Side Management 2014 Annual
Report includes the program cost-effectiveness to-date by including the culmination of actual historic
savings values and expenses as well as the ongoing energy savings benefit over the life of the measures included in a program.
The goal of demand response programs is to minimize or delay the need to build new supply-side
resources. Unlike energy efficiency programs, demand response programs must acquire and retain
participants each year to maintain a level of demand reduction capacity for the company.
Demand response programs are expensive and generally have a higher initial investment than energy efficiency programs.
The methods used to determine the cost-effectiveness of the demand response programs was updated in
2014. As part of the public workshops in conjunction with Case No. IPC-E-13-14, Idaho Power and
other stakeholders agreed on a new methodology for valuing demand-response. The settlement
agreement, as approved in IPUC Order No. 32923 and OPUC order No. 13-482, defined annual cost of operating the three demand-response programs for the maximum allowable 60 hours be no more than $16.7 million. This $16.7 million value is the levelized annual cost of a 170 MW deferred resource over
a 20-year life. The demand response value calculation will include this value even in years when the IRP
Page 2 Demand-Side Management 2014 Annual Report
Idaho Power Company Supplement 1: Cost-Effectiveness
shows no peak-hour capacity deficits. The annual value calculation will be updated with each IRP based
on changes that include, but are not limited to, need, capital cost, or financial assumptions. In 2014,
the cost of operating the three demand response programs was $10.6 million. Idaho Power estimates that
if the three programs were dispatched for the full 60 hours, the total costs would have been approximately $13.8 million and would have remained cost effective.
In reviewing the measure cost-effectiveness analyses, Idaho Power examined how the company defines
a measure and the level of granularity to be shown in this report. As a result of this examination,
the number of measures reported in Supplement 1: Cost-Effectiveness has been reduced from 455 in
2013 to 259 in 2014. Idaho Power offers attic insulation to Idaho residential customers in the Home Improvement Program. To a customer, attic insulation would be considered one measure or offering.
In 2013, Idaho Power displayed 81 different attic insulation measure combinations representing various
R-values, heating systems, and heating and cooling zones within its service area.
Idaho Power has consolidated the measure definition for the attic-, floor-, and wall-insulation and
window measures in the Home Improvement Program. The company has also consolidated the lighting measures in the Easy Upgrades program. In 2014, Idaho Power made several changes to the standard
lighting measure offering within Easy Upgrades. These changes resulted in over 100 lighting measure
combination in the program. These lighting measures have been grouped under 26 similar categories.
Assumptions
Idaho Power relies on research conducted by third-party sources to obtain savings and cost assumptions
for various measures. These assumptions are routinely reviewed and updated as new information becomes available. For many of the measures within Supplement 1: Cost-Effectiveness, savings, costs, and load shapes were derived from either the Regional Technical Forum (RTF) or the Idaho Power
Energy Efficiency Potential Study conducted by EnerNOC Utility Solutions Consulting Group
(EnerNOC) in 2012. In 2013, EnerNOC provided Idaho Power with updated end-use load shapes. Those
updated load shapes have been applied to each program and measure when applicable. Applied Energy Group (AEG) acquired EnerNOC and refreshed the energy efficiency potential analysis in 2014.
The RTF regularly reviews, evaluates, and recommends eligible energy efficiency measures and the
estimated savings and costs associated with those measures. As the RTF updates these assumptions,
Idaho Power applies them to current program offerings and assesses the need to make any program
changes. Idaho Power staff participates in the RTF by attending the monthly meetings and contributing to various sub-committees. Because cost data from the RTF information is in 2006 dollars, measures with costs from the RTF have been escalated by 17.50232 percent in 2014. This percentage is provided
by the RTF at rtf.nwcouncil.org/measures/support/files/RTFStandardInformationWorkbook_v2_2.xlsx.
Idaho Power also relies on other sources, such as the Northwest Power and Conservation Council
(NWPCC), Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA), the Database for Energy Efficiency Resources (DEER), the Energy Trust of Oregon (ETO), the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), third-party consultants, and other regional utilities. In 2013, ADM Associates, Inc., began developing a
technical reference manual (TRM) for the Building Efficiency and Easy Upgrades programs.
Idaho Power received the results of the TRM in 2014 and has applied those assumptions to the
programs. Occasionally, Idaho Power will also use internal engineering estimates and calculations for savings and costs based on information gathered from previous projects.
In 2014, Idaho Power reviewed its policy to update measure energy savings throughout the year. In the
past, when energy savings assumptions were updated during the calendar year by third-parties, such as
Demand-Side Management 2014 Annual Report Page 3
Supplement 1: Cost-Effectiveness Idaho Power Company
the RTF or an evaluator, Idaho Power immediately applied those assumptions retroactively for the entire
year. This caused issues when budgets and goals are set at the beginning of the year using one set of
assumptions and those assumptions are changed mid-year. This made it appear that some programs were
not meeting their original goals. It has been recommended in process evaluations that the company “freeze” savings assumptions at a certain point and update assumptions once a year. After reviewing the
practices of other utilities around the region and the impact of these frequent updates to program
specialists and field staff, the company established a policy to freeze savings assumptions when the
budgets and goals are set for the next calendar year unless code and standards changes or program
updates necessitate a need to use updated savings. As a general rule, the 2014 energy savings reported for most programs will use the assumption set at the beginning of the year. These assumptions are
discussed in more detail in the cost-effectiveness sections for each program.
The remaining inputs used in the cost-effectiveness models are obtained from the IRP process.
The Technical Appendix of Idaho Power’s 2013 IRP is the source for the financial assumptions,
including the discount rate and escalation rate. The 2013 IRP was acknowledged by the IPUC in Order No. 32980 on February 24, 2014 and by the OPUC in Order No. 14-253 on July 8, 2014.
These DSM alternative costs vary by season and time of day and are applied to an end-use load shape to
obtain the value of that particular measure or program. The DSM alternative energy costs are based on
both the projected fuel costs of a peaking unit and forward electricity prices as determined by
Idaho Power’s power supply model, AURORAxmp® Electric Market Model. The 2013 IRP planning process resulted in a significant drop in the DSM alternative costs used to value energy efficiency
compared with previous IRPs. While impacts will vary from program to program depending on measure
life and the end uses, decreases of program benefits of up to 40 to 50 percent have been seen. Multiple
factors led to the reduction of the DSM alternative costs, but two of the primary impacts included a
reduced carbon adder used in the 2013 IRP process and decreases in early-year natural gas price forecasts. While these benefit reductions have placed more burden on program cost-effectiveness, some of the impact has been mitigated by the recent addition of quantified non-energy benefits (NEB) in the
region. The avoided capital cost of capacity is based on a gas-fired, simple-cycle turbine. In the 2013
IRP, the annual avoided capacity cost increased from $94 per kilowatt (kW) from the 2011 IRP to $102
per kW. When multiplied by the effective load carrying capacity (ELCC) of 93.4 percent, the annual avoided capacity cost is $95.27/kW. The ELCC reduces the avoided capacity cost benefit based on the availability of a resource.
As recommended by the NAPEE Understanding Cost-Effectiveness of Energy Efficiency Programs¸
Idaho Power’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of 6.77 percent is used to discount future
benefits and costs to today’s dollars. However, determining the appropriate discount rate for participant cost and benefits is difficult because of the variety of potential discount rates that can be used by the different participants as described in the TAG manual. Since the participant benefit is based on the
anticipated bill savings of the customer, Idaho Power believes the WACC is not an appropriate discount
rate to use. Because the customer bill savings is based on Idaho Power’s 2014 average customer
segment rate and is not escalated, the participant bill savings is discounted using a real discount rate of 3.66 percent, which is based on the 2013 IRP’s WACC of 6.77 percent and an escalation rate of 3 percent. The formula to calculate the real discount rate is as follows:
((1 + WACC) ÷ (1 + Escalation)) – 1 = Real
Line loss percentages are applied to the metered site energy savings to find the energy savings at the
generation level. The Demand-Side Management 2014 Annual Report shows the estimated electrical savings at the customer meter level. Cost-effectiveness analyses are based on generation level energy savings. The demand response program reductions are reported at the generation level with the line
Page 4 Demand-Side Management 2014 Annual Report
Idaho Power Company Supplement 1: Cost-Effectiveness
losses. In 2014, Idaho Power reviewed the system loss coefficients from 2012. Based on this study,
the line loss factors were updated and reduced from 10.9 to 9.6 percent. The summer peak line loss
factor was reduced from 13 to 9.7 percent.
Conservation Adder
The Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act (Northwest Power Act) states:
…any conservation or resource shall not be treated as greater than that of any non-conservation measure or resource unless the incremental system cost of such conservation or resource is in
excess of 110 per centum of the incremental system cost of the nonconservation measure or
resource.1
As a result of the Northwest Power Act, most utilities in the Pacific Northwest add a 10 percent conservation adder in energy efficiency cost-effectiveness analyses. In OPUC Order No. 94-590, the OPUC commission states:
We support the staff’s position that the effect of conservation in reducing uncertainty in
meeting load growth is included in the ten percent cost adder and that no separate adjustment
is necessary.
Additionally, in IPUC Order No. 32788 in Case No. GNR-E-12-01, “Staff noted that Rocky Mountain Power and Avista use a 10% conservation adder when calculating the cost-effectiveness of all their
DSM programs.” Staff recommended that the utilities have the option to use a 10 percent adder and the
IPUC Commission agreed with the recommendation to allow utilities to use the 10 percent adder in the
cost-effectiveness analyses for low-income programs.
After reviewing the practices of other utilities in the Pacific Northwest as well as the OPUC Order No. 94-590 and IPUC Order 32788, Idaho Power now includes the 10 percent conservation adder in all
measure and program cost-effectiveness analyses.
Net-to-Gross
Net-to-gross (NTG), or net-of-free-ridership (NTFR), is defined by NAPEE’s Understanding
Cost-Effectiveness of Energy Efficiency Programs: Best Practices, Technical Methods, and Emerging Issues for Policy-Makers as a ratio that does as follows: Adjusts the impacts of the programs so that they only reflect those energy efficiency gains that
are the result of the energy efficiency program. Therefore, the NTG deducts energy savings that
would have been achieved without the efficiency program (e.g., ‘free-riders’) and increases
savings for any ‘spillover’ effect that occurs as an indirect result of the program. Since the NTG
attempts to measure what the customers would have done in the absence of the energy efficiency program, it can be difficult to determine precisely.
Capturing the effects of Idaho Power’s energy efficiency efforts on free-ridership and spillover is
difficult. Due to the uncertainty surrounding NTG percentages, Idaho Power used a NTG of 100 percent
1 Northwest Power Act §3(4)(D). nwcouncil.org/media/5227150/poweract.pdf
Demand-Side Management 2014 Annual Report Page 5
Supplement 1: Cost-Effectiveness Idaho Power Company
for all measure cost-effectiveness analyses. For the program cost-effectiveness analyses, the B/C ratios
shown are based on a 100 percent NTG. A sensitivity analysis was conducted to show what the
minimum NTG percentage needs to be for the program to remain (or become) cost-effective.
These NTG percentages are shown in the program cost-effectiveness pages of Supplement 1: Cost-Effectiveness.
Results
Idaho Power determines cost-effectiveness on a measure basis, where relevant, and program basis.
As part of Supplement 1: Cost-Effectiveness and where applicable, Idaho Power publishes the
cost-effectiveness by measure, calculating the PCT and ratepayer impact measure (RIM) test at the
program level, listing the assumptions associated with cost-effectiveness, and citing sources and dates of metrics used in the cost-effectiveness calculation.
The B/C ratio from the participant cost perspective is not calculated for Weatherization Assistance for
Qualified Customers (WAQC), Weatherization Solutions for Eligible Customers, See ya later,
refrigerator®, Student Energy Efficiency Kit and Energy House Calls. These programs have few or no
customer costs. For energy efficiency programs, the cost-effectiveness models do not assume ongoing participant costs.
For most programs, the Demand-Side Management 2014 Annual Report Appendix 4 contains program
UC and TRC B/C ratios using actual cost information over the life of the program through 2014.
Supplement 1: Cost-Effectiveness contains annual cost-effectiveness metrics for each program using
actual information from 2014, includes results of the PCT, and includes the application of a NTG factor where appropriate. Current customer energy rates are used in the calculation of the B/C ratios from a PCT and RIM perspective. Rate increases are not forecast or escalated. Where applicable, the
cost-effectiveness results of demand response programs include historical expenses. A summary of the
cost effectiveness by program can be found in Table 3.
In 2014, most of Idaho Power’s energy efficiency programs were cost effective, except for the Ductless Heat Pump Pilot (DHP), ENERGY STAR® Homes Northwest, See ya later, refrigerator®, Student Energy Efficiency Kit, WAQC, and Weatherization Solutions for Eligible Customers.
The DHP Pilot has a UC of 1.77, TRC of 0.70, and PCT of 1.01. In fall 2013, the RTF approved ductless
heat pump annual savings estimates for customers not screened for supplemental fuel use. RTF savings
declined from the previously provisionally deemed savings of 3,500 annual kilowatt-hour (kWh) to a range between 292 kWh and 3,131 annual kWh. As a result of the lower kWh savings, the program did not pass the TRC and PCT. In 2014, Idaho Power included RTF-approved NEBs, accounting for annual
avoided supplemental fuel costs and avoided capital expenses of A/C purchases that would have
occurred in the absence of the installation of a DHP system. A RTF sub-committee, that was formed in
2014 to address the possible inclusion of NEBs for decreased health impacts from reduced wood-burning emissions. In November, the RTF presented its findings and recommendation on the inclusion of health benefits to be part of the cost-effective benefits in the cost-effective analysis of measures and
programs. The RTF is waiting the council’s guidance on the issue. Additionally, Idaho Power filed a
cost-effectiveness exception request for the ductless heat pumps in UM-1710.
The ENERGY STAR Homes Northwest program has a UC of 1.64, TRC of 0.83, and PCT of 1.41. In 2014, 8 of 243 homes were single-family homes and 235 were townhomes. Although single-family homes are cost-effective, due to the lower kWh savings for townhomes versus single-family homes,
the program was shown to be not cost-effective from a TRC perspective for 2014. The RTF reviewed
Page 6 Demand-Side Management 2014 Annual Report
Idaho Power Company Supplement 1: Cost-Effectiveness
the savings assumptions for ENERGY STAR new construction for single family homes in 2014.
The RTF opted to extend the sunset date for multi-family homes and will review the measure in 2015.
Additionally, NEEA is planning to transition their Northwest ENERGY STAR Homes program to the
national EPA ENERGY STAR Homes program. A second program, NEEA’s Next Step Home program is still in the pilot stage; however, the pilot is not ready to launch as a standard program. Idaho Power
will monitor these potential changes to the program for possible implementation in the future. The
cost-effectiveness calculations for this program does not include the savings for the ENERGY STAR
certified gas heated homes that Idaho Power has claimed in 2014. Because of Idaho Power’s support of
NEEA and the Northwest ENERGY STAR Homes brand, Idaho Power is claiming savings for 282 natural gas heated, ENERGY STAR certified homes, certified in Idaho Power’s Idaho service area
in 2014. These savings account for 195,372 kWh of annual savings from efficient cooling equipment,
insulation, windows, doors, water heating, ventilation, appliances, and lighting. NEEA does not claim
these electric savings.
See ya later, refrigerator® has a UC and TRC of 0.86. The lower cost-effectiveness ratios in 2014 over 2013 are largely due to the updated 2013 IRP DSM alternative costs. In 2014, the RTF updated the
energy savings assumptions for freezer and refrigerator decommissioning and included estimates for
NEBs. The updated energy savings and NEB assumptions will be applied in 2015. With the planned
program changes in 2015 and the inclusion of NEBs, the program is expected to be cost effective
in 2015.
WAQC had a TRC of 0.42, and Weatherization Solutions for Eligible Customers had a TRC of 0.50. The cost-effectiveness ratios were impacted by the change in DSM alternative costs and the updated per
home savings. Idaho Power performed a billing analysis of the 2012 weatherization projects. In 2012
and 2013, Idaho Power claimed annual 2,684 kWh per home in WAQC. In 2014, the savings for single
family and multi-family homes decreased to 1,551 kWh per year. The savings for manufactured homes decreased to 2,568 kWh per year. The annual savings for non-profits is 1.03 kWh/heated square foot. For Weatherization Solutions for Eligible Customers, the billing analysis shows that the per home
annual savings increased. In 2012 and 2013, Idaho Power claimed 1,826 kWh per home. In 2014,
the savings for single family and multi-family homes increased to 2,108 kWh/year. The savings for
manufactured homes increased to 3,426 kWh/per year. Idaho Power adopted the following IPUC staff’s recommendations from Case No. GNR-E-12-01 for calculating the programs’ cost-effectiveness:
• Applied a 100-percent NTG.
• Claimed 100 percent of energy savings for each project.
• Included indirect administrative overhead costs. The overhead costs of 2.90 percent were calculated from the $1,065,072 of indirect program expenses divided by the total DSM
expenses of $36,713,333 as shown in Appendix 3 of the Demand-Side Management 2014
Annual Report.
• Applied the 10-percent conservation preference adder.
• Amortized evaluation expenses over a three-year period.
• Claimed one dollar of NEBs for each dollar of utility and federal funds invested in health,
safety, and repair measures.
Thirty nine individual measures in various programs are shown to be not cost-effective from either the
UC or TRC perspective. These measures will be discontinued, analyzed for additional NEBs, modified
to increase potential per unit savings, or monitored to examine their impact on the specific program’s
Demand-Side Management 2014 Annual Report Page 7

overall cost-effectiveness. For several measures, Idaho Power filed cost-effectiveness exception request
with the OPUC in compliance with Order No. 94-590. Measures and programs which do not pass these

Following the annual program cost-effectiveness results are tables that include measure-level
cost-effectiveness. Exceptions to the measure-level tables are the demand response programs which do
not provide incentives for installed end-use measures. Other programs not analyzed at the measure level
include Custom Efficiency, the custom option of Irrigation Efficiency Rewards, and WAQC, where projects include multiple interactive measures that are analyzed at the project level. Due to the application of a per-home annual energy savings number for Weatherization Solutions for Eligible
Customers determined by a billing analysis of the 2012 program participants, measure-level realized
energy-saving data are unavailable for 2014. The measure level cost-effectiveness analysis is not
included in this report due to the lack of realized data at the measure level.
The measure-level cost-effectiveness includes inputs of measure life, energy savings, incremental cost, incentives, program administration cost, and net benefit. Program administration costs include all
non-incentive costs: labor, marketing, training, education, purchased services, and evaluation.
Energy and expense data have been rounded to the nearest whole unit which may result in minor
rounding differences.
