________________ )
COMES NOW, Idaho Power Company ("Idaho Power" or "Company") and
pursuant to Idaho Code §§ 61-501, 502, and 503 and RP 52, hereby respectfully
submits this Application to the Idaho Public Utilities Commission ("Commission") for an
Order approving an agreement for electric service between Idaho Power and the United
States Department of Energy ("DOE") which is set to become effective on September
15, 2016. The Company is not requesting a change to the DOE's rates at this time. If
additional time is needed to process this filing, Idaho Power requests the Commission
approve an extension of the expiring special contract that was previously approved in
Order No. 32354 until such time as the Commission approves a new service
agreement.
APPLICATION - 1
I. BACKGROUND
1. The DOE, through its Idaho Operations Office, operates the facilities at the
Idaho National Laboratory ("INL") site located approximately 50 miles west of Idaho
Falls, Idaho. Idaho Power has supplied electric service to the DOE and its
predecessors since 1950 and currently serves the DOE under a special contract in
accordance with the rates and charges set out in Electric Service Rate Schedule 30
("Schedule 30") and its successor schedules.
2. The current special contract between Idaho Power and the DOE was
approved by the Commission on September 13, 2011, by Order No. 32354 issued in
Case No. IPC-E-11-13 ("2011 Agreement"). The five-year term of the 2011 Agreement
runs from September 15, 2011, through September 14, 2016.
3. In July 2015, Idaho Power began researching issues related to negotiating
a new agreement with the DOE. Earlier this year, the DOE and Idaho Power began
discussions related to a new special services agreement. Like most companies that
contract with the federal government, an overarching U.S. General Services
Administration ("GSA") Areawide Contract governs business interactions between the
federal government and Idaho Power. An "Exhibit A --Authorization for Electric
Service" to the GSA ("Authorization"), and the specific terms and conditions that
accompany it, comprise the electric service agreement -also known as a "special
contract."
II. ELECTRIC SERVICE AGREEMENT
4. Idaho Power and the DOE have successfully negotiated the terms and
conditions of a new special service agreement ("2016 Agreement"). Key terms of the
APPLICATION - 2
2016 Agreement, which is enclosed as Attachment 1 to this Application, are described
below.
5. Services to be Provided by Company. Idaho Power will furnish to the
DOE its requirements for all electric power and energy which the DOE may request in
accordance with the terms of this Authorization. The Company agrees to provide the
DOE with up to 55,000 kilowatts ("kW") monthly for the operation of the facilities at the
INL site. The DOE may request additional power requirements in excess of 55,000 kW
per month for the INL site with twelve (12) months' notice, which the Company shall
have sole discretion to grant or deny. Idaho Power will supply three-phase, 60 Hz
alternating current at normal 138,000 volts, with a maximum steady state variation of
plus or minus five percent under normal system conditions via the two existing
interconnection lines between the Antelope substation and the DOE's Scoville
substation.
6. Maintenance of Antelope Facilities. Certain DOE-owned equipment is
located in the Antelope substation jointly owned by PacifiCorp and Idaho Power, but
operated by PacifiCorp, that is necessary for the Company to provide service to the INL
site. Coordinating access with PacifiCorp, Idaho Power will maintain the DOE-owned
equipment as identified on Attachment 1 to this Authorization under the terms identified
therein.
7. Transfer of Antelope Facilities. Idaho Power, the DOE, and PacifiCorp
have negotiated but not executed an agreement to transfer title of the DOE-owned
Antelope substation equipment to Idaho Power and PacifiCorp. This agreement was to
be effective upon the execution of the Authorization; however, Idaho Power has
APPLICATION - 3
requested additional time to determine whether or not they will execute the agreement
and take title to the DOE-owned equipment. No later than March 31, 2017, Idaho
Power shall notify the DOE in writing if it will take title to the DOE-owned equipment. If
PacifiCorp or Idaho Power agrees to take title, either separately or jointly, such title shall
pass no later than July 31, 2017. Upon such a transfer of title, the DOE understands
that Idaho Power will charge the DOE for the maintenance of the then formerly DOE­
owned equipment through a facility service charge or similar mechanism.
8. Contract Charges to be Paid to the Company. The DOE agrees to pay
the Company the monthly rate charges shown in Schedule 30 for the firm retail service
of electric power and energy to the DOE at the INL site. The current schedule is
included as the last page in Attachment 1 to this Application and Idaho Power does not
propose changes to it in this filing. To allow for more flexible rate design and for
consistency with other large special contract customers, the 2016 Agreement contains
the ability for Idaho Power to assess the DOE a contract demand charge , which, if
charged, will be contained in Schedule 30. The initial contract demand amount in the
2016 Agreement is 45,000 kW, with a maximum contract demand ceiling of 55,000 kW.
The DOE has the ability under the 2016 Agreement to ask for additional demand above
the 55,000 kW ceiling, which may be granted at Idaho Power's discretion.
9. Term. The term of the 2016 Agreement commences on September 15,
2016, and concludes on September 14, 2021, subject to Commission acceptance and
approval. Similar to the 2011 Agreement, the DOE has the right to terminate the 2016
Agreement on six months advance prior written notice to Idaho Power, subject to certain
termination charges.
APPLICATION - 4
10. Commission Jurisdiction. The 2016 Agreement is expressly subject to,
and shall become effective upon, approval of the Commission of all terms and
provisions without change or condition. To the extent allowed under Federal law, the
2016 Agreement shall be subject to the Company's General Rules and Regulations as
now or hereafter in effect and on file with the Commission and to the jurisdiction and
regulatory authority of the Commission.
Ill. RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE
11 . Idaho Power asserts that a technical hearing is not necessary to consider
the issues presented herein and respectfully requests that this Application be processed
under Modified Procedure; i.e., by written submissions rather than by hearing. RP 201
et seq. If, however, the Commission determines that a technical hearing is required, the
Company stands ready to prepare and present its testimony in such a hearing.
IV. COMMUNICATIONS AND SERVICE OF PLEADINGS
12. Communications and service of pleadings, exhibits, orders, and other
documents relating to this proceeding should be served on the following:

2. The parties agree that Company will maintain the DOE-owned equipment set forth
above in paragraphs J. I through 1.6 for the purpose of providing service to INL. The Company will
provide DOE with a list of planned maintenance activities and estimated costs for a forward looking
12-month period on an annual basis beginning within 60 days of the effective date of this agreement
and every 12 months thereafter for the term of this agreement. In addition, the Company will provide
DOE with the results of any maintenance tests performed on the DOE transformers and will provide
DOE with a written explanation of any concerns the Company has with the results of those
transformer tests. The parties also agree that the actual costs incurred by the Company to maintain
the DOE-owned equipment including repair, removal, replacement or relocation of the DOE-owned
equipment shall be billed directly to DOE within ninety (90) days of work completion; provided,
however, that no relocation of equipment will be undertaken without DO E's approval, which will not
be unduly withheld. The Company shall notify DOE of the necessary work scope and schedule prior

to beginning any maintenance work not set forth in the list of planned maintenance actlv1t1es
described above for which the Company reasonably anticipates that DOE would become responsible
for costs in excess of $20,000.
3. DOE acknowledges that the equipment described in Section I above is located in the
Antelope Substation which is operated by PacifiCorp. The Company represents that it currently has
the access to Antelope Substation necessary to carry out its obligations herein and will take all
reasonable steps necessary to maintain such access. In addition, DOE acknowledges that PacifiCorp,
as the operator of the Antelope Substation, has operational control of equipment located in the
Antelope Substation. The Company has no operational control over any of the DOE-owned
equipment described in Section I, and shall not be liable to DOE for any damage to such equipment,
or injury to person or property that may result from DOE's or PacifiCorp's failure to properly operate
such equipment in accordance with Prudent Utility Practice.
4. The Company, DOE, and PacifiCorp have negotiated but not executed an agreement
to transfer title of the DOE-owned equipment to !PC and PacifiCorp. This agreement was to be
effective upon the execution of the Authorization; however, fPC has requested additional time to
determine whether or not they will execute the agreement and take title to the DOE-owned
equipment. No later than March 31, 2017, IPC shall notify DOE in writing if it will take title to the
DOE-owned equipment. If PacifiCorp or !PC agree to take title, either separately or jointly, such
title shall pass no later than July 31 , 2017. These deadlines may be extended by mutual agreement
of the Parties.
5. In the event title to the DOE-owned equipment passes to the Company, this
Attachment will automatically expire. Upon such a transfer of title, DOE understands that IPC
through a facility service charge or similar mechanism will charge DOE for the maintenance of the
then formerly DOE-owned equipment which will be maintained in accordance with Prudent Utility
Practice. DOE acknowledges that to accommodate the imposition of such charge following a title
transfer, a revision to the Authorization may be necessary.
