tariff schedules to require the installation and operation of smart inverters for all new
customer-owned generator interconnections within 60 days following the adoption of an
industry standard definition of smart inverters as defined by the lnstitute of Electrical
and Electronic Engineers, and (4) commencement of a generic docket at the conclusion
of this case to establish a compensation structure for customer-owned distributed
energy resources ("DER") that reflects both the benefits and costs that DER
interconnection brings to the electric system.
Subsequent to submitting the Application, ldaho Power discovered that a single
data point was unintentionally omitted when plotting the results of the forecasted growth
for residential customers with on-site generation. This omission resulted in the
remaining data points being associated with the wrong year that was stated in
paragraph 9 of the Application. As shown below, the year "2021" in bold should be
stricken and replaced with the year "2022".
9. The Company had 1,468 active and pending net
metering systems in its ldaho service area as of June 30,
2017. The Company projects that the count of residential
customers with on-site generation could be as high as 7,032
customers or as low as 6,171 customers by 2021, with the
median growth rate resulting in 6,816 residential customers
with on-site generation. The most appropriate time for the
Commission to begin to address cost shifting caused by the
combination of net metering and current rate design is now,
before DER penetration reaches higher levels.
ldaho Power Application at 6.
Therefore, ldaho Power hereby files this Errata to correct the Application in order
to reference the correct year associated with the grovuth of residential customers with
on-site generation.
