CASE NO. IPC-E-18-15
MOTION TO APPROVE
SETTLEMENT AGREBMENT
Idaho Power Company ("Idaho Power" or "Company") and the Staff of the Idaho Public
Utilities Commission move the Commission, under Commission Rules of Procedure ("RP") 52,
l2l, 123,241, and 274, for an order approving the attached Settlement Agreement by December
27,2019, to be effective on January 1,2020. This Motion is based on the following:
L In Case No. IPC-E-17-I3,ldaho Power filed an Application with the Commission
requesting the Commission: l) Close Schedule 84, Customer Energy Production Net Metering
("Schedule 84") to new customers with on-site generation after December 31 ,2017; 2) Establish
new schedules for residential and small general service customers with on-site generation that
request to interconnect to the Company's system on or afterJanuary 1,2018; 3) Acknowledge
that smart inverters provide functionality needed to support the ongoing stability and reliability of
I
IPC-E-18-15 Motion to Approve Settlement Agreement
the distribution system and to require the installation and operation of smart inverters within 60
days of the adoption of an industry standard definition of smart inverters by the Institute of
Electrical and Electronic Engineers ("IEEE"); and 4) Initiate a generic docket at the conclusion
of IPC-E-I7-13 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. The Company did not request a change to rates in IPC-E-17-13.
2. In Order No. 34604, the Commission closed Schedule 84 to new residential and
small general service customers. The Commission approved the creation of new customer classes
for residential and small general service customers with on-site generation and established
Schedule 6 for residential customers with on-site generation and Schedule 8 for small general
service customers with on-site generation, effective June l, 2018. The Commission acknowledged
that smart inverters can benefit the ongoing stability and reliability of the Company's distribution
system, and directed the Company to file a tariff advice with the Commission within 60 days of
the final adoption of IEEE 1547 and 1547.1. The Commission approved the Company's request
for a docket to study the costs, benefits, and related issues of net metering on the Company's
system and to establish a compensation structure for DERs. The Commission encouraged the
Company and interested stakeholders to work together to resolve the difficult issues inherent in
designing a fair,just, and reasonable net metering program. The Settlement Agreement attached
to this Motion as Attachment I results from the docket ordered by the Commission in Case No.
IPC-E-17-13, and represents the culmination of the thorough, data-driven evaluation undertaken
by the Company, Staff, and numerous stakeholders in a collaborative manner, as directed by the
Commission.
3. The Company, Commission Staff,, Idaho Conservation League, Idaho Irrigation
Pumpers Association, Inc., IdaHydro, Rocky Mountain Power, Vote Solar, City of Boise, Idaho
Sierra Club, Idaho Clean Energy Association, Northwest Energy Coalition, Micron Technology,
Inc., Industrial Customers of Idaho Power, and Russell Schiermeier are all parties to this case. In
total, one prehearing conference and eight settlement conferences were held. Commission Staff
presented three Staff Reports to the Commission during the settlement process updating the
Commission on progress toward settlement. All parties to the proceeding agreed to either sign the
Settlement Agreement or to not oppose the Settlement Agreement. The signing parties are the
Company, Commission Staff, Idaho Irrigation Pumpers Association, Inc., IdaHydro, City of Boise,
IPC-E-18-15 Motion to Approve Settlement Agreement
2
Idaho Sierra Club, Idaho Clean Energy Association, lndustrial Customers of Idaho Power, and
Russell Schiermeier.
4. The signing parties achieved compromise on a significant number of critical
elements to the Company's on-site generation program. However, the Settlement Agreement does
not resolve whether existing customers taking service under Schedules 6 or 8 are covered by the
terms of the Agreement, how existing customers will be defined, or whether such customers will
continue to be compensated under the existing retail rate net metering structure. The signing
parties agreed to submit this issue to the Commission for determination. The signing parties agreed
that if the Settlement Agreement is approved by the Commission, the Settlement Agreement will
take effect regardless of the Commission's decision on grandfathering.
5. The signing parties recommend the Commission process the Settlement Agreement
by Modified Procedure with a public hearing under Commission Rule 274. All signing parties to
the Settlement Agreement intend to file comments to support the Settlement Agreement. The
parties recommend at least a 30-day public comment period. For the decision about existing
customers with on-site generation in Schedules 6 and 8, the signing parties leave the determination
of procedure up to the Commission, but request a schedule that can effectuate a January 1,2020
effective date. [n conformance with RP 125, this Motion will be brought to the attention of Idaho
Power's customers by means of a press release to the media in the Company's service area and a
customer notice distributed in customers' bills, both of which accompany this filing. In
conformance with RP 121, to the extent that it applies, workpapers showing data are attached as
Attachment 4.
6. The signing parties to the Settlement Agreement stand ready for immediate
consideration of the Motion.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Staff respectfully request that the Commission
issue an order in Case No. IPC-E-18-15:
l. Granting the Motion to accept Attachment l, the Settlement Agreement, in its
entirety, without material change or condition:
2. Authorizing revised tariff schedules, which are provided in clean and legislative
formats in Attachments 2 and 3, respectively, with an effective date of January
1,2020.

ATTAGHMENT 1
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
Settlemelt Agreement
Idaho Power Schedule6, Schedule 8 and Schedule l, Schedule 7 Non-Export
Customers with On-Site Generation
This settlement agreement ("Settlement Agreement" or "Agreement") is entered into by
the following participants to the on-site generation collaborative process initiated by Order No.
34046: Idaho Power Company ("ldaho Power" or "Company"), the Staff of the Idaho Public
Utilities Commission, the ldaho Clean Energy Association, Idaho Irrigation Pumpers Association,
Inc., IdaHydro, City of Boise, Idaho Sierra Club, lndustrialCustomers of Idaho Power, and Russell
Schiermeier. These entities and individuals are collectively referred to as the "Signing Parties,"
and individually as a "Signing Party" to the Agreement.
WHEREAS, in Case No. IPC-E-17-13, the Company requested, and the ldaho Public
Utilities Commission ("Commission") ordered, a follow-on docket to comprehensively study the
costs and benefits of on-site generation on the Company's system, as wellas proper rates and rate
design, transitional rates, and related issues of compensation fornet energy exports provided as a
resource to the Company, and directed the Company to work with interested stakeholders to find
compromise on these issues; and
WHEREAS, the Commission directed the Parties to confer about the procedural and
substantive scope ofthe docket; and
WHEREAS, the Company and interested stakeholders engaged in a prehearing conference
and eight settlement conferences and agreed on certain aspects of ldaho Power's on-site generation
servlce.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth herein, the
sufliciency of which is acknowledged, the Signing Parties agree as follows:
I. Recitals. The above-stated recitals are incorporated and made a part of this
Agreement to the same extent as if the recitals were set forth in full.
II. Public Interest. This Agreement is a fair, just, and reasonable compromise of
contested issues and its acceptance by the Commission would be in the public interest. The
Agreement, and its acceptance by the Commission, will reasonably resolve many issues related to
Idaho Power's on-site generation service. Therefore, the Parties recommend that the Commission
approve the Agreement without material change or condition under Commission Procedural Rule
274.
IPC-E- 18- 15 Settlement Agreement
I
IIII. Term. The effective date of this Agreement is the later of January 1,2020 or the
date on which it is approved by the Commission. This Agreement shall apply to all residential and
small general service customers in Idaho Power's service territory with on-site generation
beginning January 1,2020, subject to the outcome of the proceeding described in Section IX of
this Agreement for existing customers, and continue until the Commission approves a change.
IV. Desisn. The following will apply to all customers on Schedule 6 and Schedule 8,
subject to the outcome of the proceeding described in Section IX of this Agreement for existing
customers.
A. Net Hourlv Billine. At the end of each hour, consumption and exports
within the hour will be netted and net hourly exports will be compensated at the Export Credit
Rate.
B. Methodolosy to Determine the Exnort Credit Rate. The Export Credit
Rate will be based on the value of exported energy from all solar photovoltaic ("PV") customers
in each class, and will be applicable to all distributed generation ("DG") resources taking service
under Schedule 6 and Schedule 8. Signing Parties recognize the exported energy value may be
different for other DG resources. Parties retain the right to advocate for export credit rates specific
to other DG resources in future proceedings. The methodology to determine the Export Credit
Rate will be:
1. Avoided Enersy Value. The energy value will be the two-year
levelized energy-weighted average of the Demand Side Management ("DSM") Altemate Cost
obtained from the pricing periods set forth in the most recently acknowledged Integrated Resource
Plan ("lRP") calculated as the summation of the product of hourly energy exports and the DSM
price divided by Total Annual Energy Exports for the class.
a. The Total Annual Energy Exports will be the actual energy
exports for all solar PV DG systems in the class that were active for a full l2 months.
b. For reference, the 2017 DSM Alternate Cost pricing periods
are Summer On-Peak, Summer Mid-Peak, Summer Off-Peak, Non-Summer Mid-Peak, and Non-
Summer Off-Peak.
c. For levelization ofthe energy value, pricing years will be the
two calendar years for which the Export Credit Rate will be in effect from the most recently
acknowledged IRP.
IPC-E-l 8-l 5 Settlement Agreement
2
d. The energy value will be decreased by l0% to reflect the
non-firm nature of the energy provided by on-site generators. The methodology to determine such
value is not part of this Settlement Agreement, but Parties retain the right to advocate for a
methodology to determine such value in a future docket.
2. Avoided Capacity Value. The capacity value will be the product
of the DSM Capacity Resource Value, Nameplate Capacity, and the Peak Contribution Factor
divided by the Total Annual Energy Exports.
a. The DSM Capacity Resource Value will be the 25-year
levelized cost of the present value of the DSM marginal capacity resource established in the most
recently acknowledged IRP. The 25-year levelized cost calculation will not include any avoided
capacity cost recognition until the first capacity deficit year most recently approved by the
Commission. From the first capacity deficit year until the end of the 25-year term, the Z5-year
levelized cost calculation will include the present value of the DSM marginal capacity resource.
To determine the present value, the DSM marginal capacity resource is escalated at the inflation
rate identified in the most recently acknowledged IRP until the first capacity deficit year. The
resulting capacity value component of the Export Credit Rate will include avoided capacity value
in the first year of its application.
b. Nameplate Capacity will be the gross DC nameplate
capacity of all solar PV DG resources in the class that were active forthe full 12 months of the
most recent calendar year.
c. The Peak Contribution Factor will be determined using the
highest 100 hours of the marginal system load duration curve and the system load duration curve
netted of utility-scale solar resources on the Company's system.
d. No firmness adjustment is applied to the capacity value.
3. Avoided Transmission & Distribution Capacitv. Parties
recognize there may be avoided transmission & distribution ("T&D") capacity value. The
methodology to determine such value is not part of this Settlement Agreement, but Parties retain
the right to advocate for a methodology to determine such value in a future docket.
4. Avoided Transmission & Distribution Line Losses. The avoided
energy value and the avoided capacity value are increased by 8.1% to reflect the avoidance of
transmission and primary distribution level line losses. Because Schedule 6 and Schedule 8
)
IPC-E-l 8-l 5 Settlement Agreement
customers take power at the secondary distribution level, there is no credit for avoided secondary
distribution level line losses.
5. Intesration Cost. Parties recognize there may be a cost to integrate
distributed on-site generation systems. The methodology to determine such costs is not part of
this Settlement Agreement, but Parties retain the right to advocate for a methodology to determine
such costs in a future docket.
6. Environmental Benefits. Parties recognize there may be
environmental benefits of distributed on-site generation systems. The methodology to determine
such benefits is not part of this Settlement Agreement, but Parties retain the right to advocate for
a methodology to determine such benefits in a future docket.
C. Updates to Export Credit Rate. The Export Credit Rate inputs will be
updated biennially in a separate proceeding to become effective following or concurrent to
Commission acknowledgment of the IRP.
D. Export Credit Rate Offset. The Export Credit Rate can offset energy and
Power Cost Adjustment ("PCA") charges. The Export Credit Rate cannot offset service charges,
the Fixed Cost Adjustment ("FCA"), the Energy Efficiency Rider, or franchise fees.
E. Export Credit Rate Expense.
l. During the transition period, as described in Section IV(G) of this
Agreement, the difference between the Export Credit Rate and the Blended Base Energy Rate will
be collected through the FCA. The Blended Base Energy Rate represents the total revenue to be
collected through the base energy charges for each respective class divided by the total forecasted
annual energy for each respective class.
2. After the transition period, the Export Credit Rate will be recovered
100% through the PCA.
F. Rate Stabilitv. Except for the biennial updates to the Export Credit Rate
according to the methodology established in this Agreement, Idaho Power will not propose to
modify rates or rate design for customers on Schedule 6 or Schedule 8 until the next proceeding in
which the Commission determines whether to change rates or rate designs for all customer classes.
G. Transition Period. Subject to the final outcome in the proceedings
described in Section IX of this Agreement for existing customers, all customers on Schedule 6 and
IPC-E-18- l5 Settlement Agreement
4
Schedule 8 will transition from retail rate compensation to the Export Credit Rate according to the
following timeline.
1. The transition period for Schedule 6 and Schedule 8 will occur over
8 years, as described below. There will be an update every 2 years to the transition rate concurrent
with the IRP cycle, as outlined in Section IV(C) of this Agreement.
a. Beginning January l, 2020, Schedule 6 and Schedule 8
customers will be compensated for net hourly exported energy at the Blended Base Energy Rate
for their respective customer classes.
b. On January 1,2022, the transition rate will be reduced by
25oh of the difference between the then-current Blended Base Energy Rate for the customer class
and the then-current Export Credit Rate for each respective customer class.
c. On January 1,2024, the transition rate will be reduced by
50% of the difference between the then-current Blended Base Energy Rate for the customer class
and the then-current Export Credit Rate for each respective customer class.
d. On January 1,2026, the transition rate will be reduced by
75%o of the difference between the then-current Blended Base Energy Rate for the customer class
and the then-current Export Credit Rate for each respective customer class.
e. Beginning January 7,2028, customers on Schedule 6 and
Schedule 8 will be compensated for net hourly exported energy at the Export Credit Rate.
V. Smart Inverters. Idaho Power will work with the parties to establish procedures
to apply default smart inverter settings based on the IEEE 1547.1 standard. Until the Commission
approves settings that deviate from the default settings, Idaho Power will require only IEEE 1547.1
default settings.
VI. Return Trips. Idaho Power willwork with the Idaho Clean Energy Association to
identify improvements that installers can make to reduce the number of return trips required by
the Company to approve a new on-site generation system. If the number of return trips is not
reduced, ldaho Power will file a tariff advice to implement a cost-based return trip charge.
VII. Initial Export Credit Rates. Based on the methodology described in Section IV
of this Settlement Agreement, the initial Export Credit Rates based on the 2017 IRP are:
5
IPC-E-l 8- I 5 Settlement Agreement
Schedule 6
($/Mwh)
Schedule 8
($/Mwh)
Avoided Energy
(10% reduction for non-firm energy
included)
$31.06 $31 .l s
Avoided Capacity $9.70 $ 14.70
Avoided T&D Capacity s0.00 $0.00
Avoided Losses $3.30 $3.71
Integration Cost $0.00 $0.00
Environmental Benefits $0.00 $0.00
Total:s44.06 $49.56
VIII. Non-Export Option. The Company will work with Parties to agree upon specific
interconnection and inspection requirements to implement the non-export option. Once an
interconnection tariff schedule for a non-export option is approved by the Commission, non-
export customers may request service under Schedules 1 and 7. Parties reserve the right to address
issues related to the non-export option, whether or not addressed in this Agreement, in a future
proceeding.
A. Before exercising the non-export option, Schedule 6 and Schedule 8 customers
must file an application with the Company demonstrating the functionality and safety of the non-
exporting system.
B. Capacity limitations for non-export customers will be the same as the capacity
limitations listed in Schedule 6 and Schedule 8.
C. If exports occur and are not rectified within 30 days after the customer's receipt
of notification by Idaho Power that the customer's on-site generation system has exported energy
to the Company's system, at the customer's election, one of the following actions will occur:
1. The customer's solar disconnect will be locked out and no longer
available for use until the issue that caused the export is remedied. Or,
2. The customer will be placed on Schedule 6 or Schedule 8, as
appropriate. If the customer elects to be placed on Schedule 6 or Schedule 8, the customer will be
given the option to submit an additional application and be moved back to Schedule I or Schedule
7, as appropriate, after I 80 days.
6
IPC-E-l 8- I 5 Settlement Agreement
IX. Existins On-Site Generation Customers. This Settlement Agreement does not
resolve whether and under what terms it will apply to existing customers with on-site generation.
A. Concurrent to or shortly after filing this Settlement Agreement with the
Commission for approval, Commission Staff will request that the Commission establish a
procedure to determine whether existing customers with on-site generation will be subject to the
terms of this Agreement. This proceeding will include defining "existing customers" as used in
this Agreement.
B. This Agreement shall be effective and binding, if approved by the
Commission, regardless of the outcome of the proceeding for existing customers with on-site
generation.
C. If the Commission determines that existing customers are subject to the
terms of this Agreement, ldaho Power will convert those customers to Net Hourly Billing over the
course of each customer's billing cycle, starting with the first cycle after the Commission
determined applicability date. Any kilowatt hour credit earned by a customer prior to this date
will be converted to a financial credit valued at the Company's Blended Base Energy Rate and
will be carried forward indefinitely by the customer.
D. If the Commission determines that existing on-site generation customers are
not subject to the terms of this Settlement Agreement, the Company will implement the
methodology and rates as determined and ordered by the Commission.
X. Follow-On Docket Resardine Avoided Cost Methodolosy. Currentl y, ldaho
Power applies diflerent avoided cost valuation methodologies for different resources, such as
energy efficiency, demand response, and small and large qualifying facilities ("QFs") under the
Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 ("PURPA"). This Settlement Agreement would
adopt another avoided cost valuation methodology to be applied to the exported energy from
residentialand small commercial on-site generation. Because energy efficiency, demand response,
PURPA QFs, and customer-owned on-site generation all represent load-serving resources on Idaho
Power's system, Signing Parties agree it is reasonable to investigate the establishment of a single
common resource valuation methodology to be applied consistently across all categories of
resources. To that end, Signing Parties request the Commission open an investigative docket to
explore development of a common avoided cost resource valuation methodology within 120 days
of the issuance of an Order approving this Agreement.

IPC-E- I 8-l 5 Settlement Agreement
XI. Severabilitv. If, after Commission approval of this entire Agreement without
modification, any immaterial term or provision of this Agreement is found to be void, prohibited,
or unenforceable by local, state, or federal law, that term shall be ineffective only to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this
Agreement. Upon a determination that any material term or provision is void, prohibited, or
unenforceable by local, state, or federal law, the Signing Parties shall negotiate in good faith to
modify this Agreement to maintain the original intent of the Signing Parties without such material
provision.
XII. eonfidentialitv. As provided in Commission Procedural Rule 272, other than any
testimony frled in supporl of the approval of this Agreement, and exceptto the extent necessary
for a Party to explain before the Commission its own statements and positions with respect to the
Agreement, all statements made and positions taken in negotiations relating to this Agreement
shall be confidential and will not be admissible as evidence in this or any other proceeding. No
Party shall be bound, benefitted, or prejudiced by any position asserted in the negotiation of this
Settlement Agreement, except to the extent expressly stated herein, nor shall this Settlement
Agreement be construed as a waiver of rights, unless such rights are expressly waived herein.
XUI. Commission Procedure. The obligations of the Parties under this Agreement are
subject to the Commission's approval of this Agreement in accordance with its terms and
conditions and upon such approval being upheld on appeal by a court of competent jurisdiction, if
challenged. Only after such approval, without material change or condition, has been received
shall the Settlement Agreement be valid. The Signing Parties will submit this Settlement
Agreement to the Commission and recommend approval in its entirety pursuant to Commission
Procedural F.ule274. Signing Parties shall support this Agreement before the Commission, and
no Signing Party shall appeal a Commission order approving the Agreement or an issue resolved
by the Agreement. If this Agreement is challenged by any person not a party to the Agreement,
the Signing Parties to this Agreement reserve the right to file testimony, cross-examine witnesses,
and put on such case as they deem appropriate to respond fully to the issues presented, including
the right to raise issues that are incorporated in the settlements embodied in this Agreement.
Notwithstanding this reservation of rights, the Signing Parties to this Agreement agree that they
will continue to support the adoption of the terms of this Agreement.
