CHINDEN BLVD, BLDG 8, STE, 20I.A BOISE, IDAHO 83714 Attorney for the Commission StafT BEFORE THE IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION ) ) ) ) ) ) ) cAsn, No. IPC-E-18-15 STAFF'S ANSWER TO PETITIONS FOR RECONSIDERATION BACKGROUND On May 9, 201 8, in Docket No. IPC-E- | 7- I 3, the Commission ordered Idaho Power Company ("ldaho Pou'er" or "Company") to "initiate a docket to comprehensively study the costs and benefits ofon-site generation on Idaho Power's system, as well as proper rates and rate design, transitional rates, and related issues of compensation fbr net excess energy provided as a resource to the Company." Order No. 34046 at 3 L The Commission encouraged the parties to work through these issues together in compromise. Id. a|22. On October 19,2018, Idaho Power petitioned the Commission to open this docket to effectuate the Commission's directive in Order No. 34046. On December 20,2019, the Commission rejected a proposed Settlement Agreement in this case. Order No. 34509. On January 8,2020, a petition for reconsideration was filed by students from Boise High School and Boise State University. These students requested the Commission allow grandfathering ofexisting customers until the Commission approves program changes. STAFF ANSWER I C)n January 9,2020, a petition for reconsideration was filed by Richard Kluckhohn. Mr. Kluckhohn requested the Commission "grandtather the system, lbr the lilb of the system or a reasonable time frame of not lcss than the standard warrantv period ofthe system, as opposed to grandfathering the customer." Richard Kluckhohn's request lbr reconsideration of Order No. 34509 at 5. On January 10, 2020, 'l'homas Baskin filed a petition for reconsideration/clarification requesting the Commission clariff whether an expansion of his current system after December 20,2019, would result in the loss of grandfathered status for his cntire system, or whether only the new panels would not be grandf'athered. On January 10, 2020, Idaho Conservation League and Vote Solar flled a petition for reconsideration requesting the Commission reconsider its decision to grandfather customers as of thc date of Order No. 34509, and instead grandfather customers as of the date the Commission approves a successor program. On January 10, 2020, Idaho Clean Energy Association filed a petition for reconsideration requesting the Commission allow customcrs to continue to sign up under Schedules 6 and 8 until the Commission approves program changes in the future, in order to allow solar installers to provide accurate estimates to potential customers. On January 10,2020, Micah Homback filed a petition fbr reconsideration requesting the Commission allow customers who sign up until the new net metering policy has been finalized and approved to receive grandfathcred status. In this answer to petitions for reconsideration, Stall'responds to Idaho Power's petition fbr reconsideration, Idaho Clean Energy Association's petition tbr reconsideration, Idaho Conservation League and Vote Solar's petition lbr reconsideration, and Thomas Baskin's petition for reconsideration. Staff Disagrees with the Company's Characterization of the Documcnts in the Record and Does Not Believe the l)ocumcnts Meet the Standard Clarificd by the Commission in Order No. 34509. Stalf understood the Commission's directive in Order No. 34046 as directing the parlies to study the issues and work together collaboratively in compromise. To this end. StalT and the I 1STAFF ANSWER STAFF ANALYSIS parties studied the data providcd by the Company and proposed altemative methods of calculation fbr different issues, such as how to calculate the energy and capacity values of distributed net-metered systems. The parties also worked together to determine other important elements of program design, such as the move to nct hourly billing, the inclusion ofa non-export option, a transition period, parameters for thc use of smart inverters, and determining how payments ol the Export Credit Rate would be rccovered by the Company. This was a comprehensive data-driven collaborative study. however, the action of studying these issues did not result in the physical product ofa study: it resulted in a Settlement Agreement. The Commission clarilied its directive fiom Order No. 34046 in Order No. 34509. and clearly stated that it expccted a comprehensive study to be produced by the parlies. Having read Order No. 34509, Staff understands the importance of a comprehensivc study by which the Commission can evaluate any I'uture progrirm changc proposals. and supports the process laid out by the Commission to ensure that the study is credible and fair. Staff disagrees with thc Company's characterization ofthc documents in the record. The "Initial Study" refered to by the Company is a nrix of workpapers and Company position statements. The Company did analyze the data and put forward a strawman proposal, as the Company describes, which was included in Attachment 4 to the Motion to Approve Settlement Agreement. Attachment 4 to the Motion to Approve Settlement Agreement is labeled "WORKPAPERS (PROVIDED ON CD)." The Motion to Approve Settlement Agreement, which was jointly submitted by Staff and the Company, referred to this information as applying to Commission Rule of Procedure l2l, *'hich prescribes the form and contents of an application to change rates, to the extent that rule was applicable to the Company's Application. The Commission acknowledged this infbrmation was in thc rccord in Order No. 34509 and correctly assessed, "'l'hese files appear to be the starting point of negotiations between the partics and not the comprehensive study ordered by the Commission. Though this information is in the decision-making record, the manner in which it is presented and the lack of context prohibit the Commission, or the public, from evaluating it in any'meaningful manner." Order No. 34509 at 8-9. The Company states it submitted the Final Export Credit Rate Study with its Comments in Support of Settlement Agreement submitted to the Commission on November 6, 2019. Petition at I 7. This is the first Staff has heard ol' there being a linal study conducted in this -)STAI--I-ANSWER docket, and disagrees with the Company's characterization ofthese documents as a study. These documents desoribe the methodology agreed to by the parties in the Settlement Agreement to calculate the value of exported energy and the capacity value of distributed gencration. Stalf believes a valid study would include a discussion of altcmatives considered and greater explanation for why the method selectcd perlbrms better than the other alternatives, as well as what metrics are used to determine what better performance means. Additionally, even if these documcnts could be accurately characterized as a study, they are by no means a comprehensive study of the Company's net metering program. The Commission made it clear in Order No. 34509 that it expected a comprehensive study to be conducted and filed with the Commission in order to evaluate any future proposals to change the net metering program design. Thc Company's belaled oharacterization olthcsc documents as a flnal study, even if accepted. would not meet the Clommission's standard of a comprehensive study. II. Thc Company's Claim it Engaged in a Robust Public Notification Process is False. The Company asks the Commission to find on reconsideration that thc public was on adequate notice that signilicant net-metering program changes would result from IPC-E-18-15, and not simply a study of the issues. Additionally, the Company goes on to asseft that grandf-athering existing customers effectively mooted the notice issue because existing customers will continue to quality tbr the program they signed up fbr. and new customers are on notice that program fundamentals are likely to change. Stafl disagrees with both claims. The Company states that it "engaged in a robust public notification process, providing ample notice to the public that this docket could result in alterations to the net metering service." Idaho Power's Petition fbr Reconsideration at 23. The Clompany then states that Attachment 2 to its petition for reconsideration and/or clarification "contains a long list of such communications to the public by the Company, StafL the Commission, and others." Id. The only documents in Attachment 2 issued by the Company are a letter to then-existing Schedule 6 and Schedule 8 customers, and a letter to solar installers. Both letters statc, "Our Oct. l9 filing begins the next phase of collaboratively studying the beneflts, costs, rate design and propcr compensation structure for on-site generation customcrs, as directed by the IPUC." Id. All.2 at 4, 5. Both letters reference "working toward a solution." The lctters did not include a case number, direction to case documents on the Commission's website. the Commission's contact 4S I'N I-F ANSWER inlbrmation, or direction to the Commission's customer comment form. The Company's single attempt at notifying customers did not clearly indicate that rates might change as a result olthis docket. Staff also notes that this letter only went to the active and pending 2,994 Schedule 6 and Schedule 8 customers, and therefore excluded all prospective net-metering customcrs and all other customers who might have been interested in the issue. The Company has substantial means to reach its customers including social media, email, bill stuffers, its monthly newsletter, local television, radio, billboards, bus stop benches, the sides of buses, and other means. Staff does not agree that letters sent to existing net-metering customers and solar installers lvith references of a study supports the Company's claim that it "engaged in a robust public noti lication process." For lurther support of its claim that the public was on adequate notice that lundamental changes to the Company's nct-mctcring program were forthcoming, the Company points to 8l public comments received by the Commission regarding the case in the year between the Company filing its Application and the liling of the Settlement Agreement. The Company states this demonstrates "the public not just heard but underslood such changes were possible." Idaho Power Petition for Reconsideration at 23 (emphasis in original). By the Company's count, approximately 750% of commenters made statements regarding possible program changcs that might result lrom the docket. Id. Thus the Company is relying on statements from approximately .1lYo of all residential customers to support its slatement that the public was adequately aware that changes to the net-metering program were being considered. Notably, the Company does not refer to the hundreds of customers who testificd thcy did not know this case existed, or did not realize that it would result in progrzrm changes, until they rcceived the Company's lctter notitying them of the Settlement Agreement in late Ootober 2019. A handf'ul ol customers testified that they knew the case existed and were activcly seeking infbrmation about it and its possible impacts, but no meaningtul intbrmation about the discussions or opportunity to directly engage existcd because the settlement negotiations were confidential. The Company goes on to claim that grandfathering existing customers effectively moots the opposition to the Settlement Agreement raised in public comments. Stafl believes the Company's claim inappropriately assumes that incorporating public feedback into the design and )STAFIT ANSWITR review of a comprehensive study would not change the results ol the study. Staf'f also believes the Company's statement is a mischaracterization of the public testimony because customers consistently stated that not only did they want to be grandf-athcrcd, but the Commission should reject the Settlement Agrecmcnt bccause the public was under the impression a study was being conducted. Staff strongly supports the Commission's directive to engage the public in the design and review of a comprehensive study that witl be the basis of future proposals to change the Company's net metering program. III. Staff Strongly Disagrccs with the Company's Proposed Process Going Forward. The Company asks the Commission to reconsider the process it prescribed to gain public input and conduct a credible and fair study. ''ldaho Power respectfully requests . . the Commission reconsider the extensive procedures it has prescribed lbr oonducting an entirely new comprehensive study from scratch." Petition at 26. l'hc Company states that the procedure prescribed by the Commission will send the parties back to the drawing board and discard thousands of hours of analysis. /r/. In place of conducting a credible and fair comprehensive study with extensive public input, the Company seeks immcdiate implemcntation of net hourly billing and a bifurcated study only on thc method to calculate the exported value of energy. This proposed process disregards the role of public input and would implement a key element of net metering program design without the benefit of a comprehensive study, contrary to the Commission's expressed concems in Order No. 34509. Staff believes the Company's recommendation to implement net hourly billing before the conclusion of the study ordered by the Commission inappropriately presupposes the outcome of the study. It appears as though the Company believes the outcome of thc study will not be changed by public input and additional study by the parties. Staff does not believe the Commission ordered the public process as a mere lbrmality to bc chcckcd ofT the list prior to approval of a predetermined net metering program. Staff believes the process ordered by the Commission is designed to provide more robust analysis, input fiom a wider spectrum ol perspectives, and result in a program design that more fairly balances thc interests of the Company and its customers. Additionally, the move to net hourly billing from net monthly billing u,as perhaps the single most signiticant program change affecting the economio value of' STATF ANSWER 6 distributed generation systems to net-metering customers in the Settlement Agreemcnt and theretbre should not be made in isolation without full consideration. Irurthermore, Staff does not believe the Company's proposal would streamline the process because addilional justification for the change to net hourly billing would be necessary, which would require additional process on one isolaled part of the net metering program. The Commission already stated the record does not support approval ofthe Settlement Agreement, so it is not clear how the record could support approval ol'one aspect of the Settlement Agreement that has less evidentiary support than other aspccts ol. the Settlement Agreement, without substantial further process. 'l'he infbrmation on the record the Company points to in support ol the Settlement Agreemcnt, which it has retroactively labeled a Final Export Credit Rate Study. describes the methodology the parties agrecd to use to value exported energy and capacity from distributed net-metering systems. Yet under the Clompany's proposal fbr a streamlined process, only the value of exported energy and capacity would be subject to the public process outlined by the Commission in Order No. 34509. This makes no logical sense. The aspect of the Settlement Agreement with the most evidentiary support is the valuation of exported energy. The only aspect of the process going forward the Company wants to continue to study is the valuation of exported energy. There is a disconncct between the Company's statements that there is sufficient evidence on the record to approve the Settlement Agreemcnt and the Company's offer to continuc to study the value ofexported encrgy going lbrward. Staff believes the parties would not be starting fiom scratch undcr the proposed process articulated by the Commission in Order No. 34509. Through the last year of study and settlement negotiations, the parties have gained a deeper understanding of the issues, and more knowledge about the elements ofnet metering program design. 1'his knowledge and experience will not be lost and will be very useful in the next phase olnet metering program study. Stalf believes the parties can build on the work done, share their knowledge and experience with the public, receive valuable lbedback and input from the public, and continne to refine and hone policy proposals. Having rcad Order No. 34509, StatT views the process initiated in Order No. 34046 and refined in Order No. 34509 as an iterative process that entails phases of study, review, incorporation of feedback, and potential redesign until the interests of the Company and its customers are balanced fairly. StalT sees the IPC-E-18-15 dockel as Phase I ofthe collaborative 7S'IAFF ANSWER process. Staff sees thc process laid out in Order No. 34509 as Phase II of the collaborative process. When the Commission determines a credible and fair study has been complcted that is adequately comprehensive, then the parties will move to Phase III, which Staff anticipates will be proposals tbr program change. Staff believes the Settlement Agreement provides an excellent point of reference lbr future study. Staff believes the Settlement Agreement can be used as a well-honed strawman proposal of what one program design could look like. The Company. the parlies, and intcrested net-metering customers can lrack what implementation olthe Settlement Agreement would havc done and compare it to the continued effects ol'Schedule 6 and Schedule 8 as they still exist. 'Ihis will provide a valuable point of ref'erence fbr future study and consideration, and should relieve some ofthe Company's constcmation about starting from square one. The Commission should reject the Company's proposed process, and adhere to the process the Commission laid out in Order No. 34509. IV. Interim Customers Do Face Some Unccrtainty from thc Commission's Order, The Company, Idaho Conservation League and Vote Solar, and thc ldaho Clean Energy Association, as well as other pctitioners, made proposals regarding the treatmcnt ol'interim customers, and noted the level of uncertainty faccd by prospectivc net-metering customers. Any customer who was considering installing a net-metering system, but did not make a binding financial commitment do so on or before December 20.2019. must now make an investment decision knowing that the net-metering program structure is likely to change, but with no insight into how the program struclure is likely to change. Additionally, the Residential Solar Energy Disclosure Act ("RSEDA") requires solar retailers to provide potential customers with written estimates of the "estimated proj ected savings over thc life ol'the solar agreement and the estimated projected savings over any longer period not to exceed thc anticipated useful lifb of the system. ." Idaho C'ode $ 48-1805(2). However, il the solar retailer does not have thc information required to be disclosed in the RSIIDA. the solar retailer "may make a good faith estimate of that inlonnation in the disclosure statcment if the solar retailer clearly indicates that the inlbrmation is an estimate and provides the basis fbr the estimate." ldaho Code $ 48-1808. Staff believes that Order No. 34509 and the RSEDA can be hamronized, and solar retailers can make informed good faith estimates. Neverlheless, Stall acknowledges that the uncertainty may IJSTAFF ANSWER unintentionally create more room fbr unscrupulous actors to proffer misguided estimates, while making it more difficult for scrupulous actors to provide accurate estimates. The Idaho Conservation League and ldaho Clean Energy Association, among others, asked the Commission to allow customers to be grandfathered until such time as the Commission implements program changes. If the Commission would like to reduce uncertainty during the interim, a statement fiom the Commission that it will apply future program changes prospectively. to new customers only, would resolve much of the uncertainty complained of by the parties. As previously stated, Stafl'believes the Company's proposal to immediately implement net hourly billing is ill-conceived and not supported by inlbnnation on the record. But, in line with the Commission's directive to incorporate public l'eedback, one option to address the unccrtainty expressed by petitioners could be lor the Commission to state that interim customers (those customers who make a binding financial commitment to install a net-metering system atler December 20, 2019, and betbre the next programmatic changes are authorized or implemented) would be eligible to receive net monthly billing fbr the warrantied life of their system. This differs from the Cornpany's proposal to immediately implcment net hourly billing bccause net monthly bilting is thc status quo, and would not be a program change. Solar retailers and potential net-metering customers have easy access to monthly billing data, and familiarity with the characteristics olnet monthly metering. Other aspects ofthe program, such as the value fbr excess energy, would be subject to change whcn the Commission implements an updated net metering program. This could result in a fair balance between some certainty tbr prospective customers upon which they can make a large financial investment, and would prevent an overwhelming surge of customcrs signing up for nct-metering in the interim period. Additionally, this could undercut thc ability of'unscrupulous solar retailers lrom presenting overly optimistic potential retums that would never be realized while allowing solar retailers operating in good faith to make reasonable fbrecasts. V. Clarification or Reconsideration on Grandfathering may bc Appropriate. In its petition, the Company requests clarification on the specifics of grandfathering in order to prevent unforeseeable or unstoppable life events tiom eliminating the grandfathered status of a customer. Staff believes that grandfathering the system, as opposed to the customer, 9STAFF ANSWE,R would remove many of the uncertainties identified by the Company. The Company, in a cross- petition, stated it does not oppose grandtathering by system location for 25 years rather than by customer indefinitely, and that this would be consistent with the practice in other states. Idaho Power Company's Answer/Cross-Petition to Richard Kluckhohn's Requcst for Reconsideration at 5. Additionally, to address the issues raised in thc pctition lor clarification or reconsideration submitted by Thomas Baskin, the Commission could reconsider whether to allow expansion of grandfathered systems within certain parameters, or clarify the extent to which the Commission allows repair and replacemcnt ofsystem components. In the alternative to grandtathering the system to relieve future confusion and complaints. the Commission could clarifo exemptions to losing grandlathered status based on difficutt life events. The loss of grandiathered status duc to unlbreseen or unavoidable life events would create situations of unfaimess and would likely result in numerous complaints to the Commission throughout the years. Stalf agrees that in the case of the death of a spouse, the surriving spouse should be able to continue to receive thc grandfathered status, regardless of which spouse's name was on the bill. Staffalso believes this logic should extend to unmarried couples living together, regardless of which partner's namc was on the bill. Staffalso belicvcs it should cxtend to incidents of mental or physical incapacity, in addition to death. These are but a feu'examples of the difficulty oladministering grandlhthered status by customer, and StatTnotes that these diffrculties would arise for a customer during precarious, uncertain, and trying times in their lives when the custorners have morc pressing concerns to deal with. Staff believes it may be possible to include language that provides for possible exoeptions based on situations that are unduly unlair, but trying to predict all possible exceptions to the rule seems difficult at best, and would still require casc by case determination well into the iuture. Stalf disagrees with the Company's assertion that Order No. 34509 provides notice to all customer classes that the compensalion structure may change. 'l'his docket deals specifically $,'ith Schedule 6 and Schedulc 8, which are for residential and small general sen'ice net-metering customers respectively. The Company llled IPC-E-I7-13 to separate these customer classes from Schedule 84, which prior to Order No. 34046, containcd all net-metering customer classes. Because this case pertains only to residential and small general service customers, StafT believes Order No. 34509 should only apply to these customer classes. Additionally. the Company cites to the Commission's iustification in Order No. 34509 to grandl'ather customers, which includes STAFF ANSWER t0 relerence to the RSEDA. for residential customers It is worth pointing out that this Act dictates disclosure requirements The Act defines a "consumer" as "a person who,lbr rrrimariiy nersonal. fhmilv,or houselrold DurDoscs [plurchases a residential solar energy system . . ." (emphasis added). Idaho C-ode $ 48-1802(1). 1'hus, neither the Commission's Order, nor the RSEDA provides notice to customers outside of Schedules 1, 6, 7, or 8 (residential and small general service schedules). The Company also asks for claritication that grandfathered customers in Schedule 6 and 8 will be subjcct to rate structures and consumption rates thal may be implemented after a "future rate proceeding." Staff notes that the language in the order explicitly states that proposals fbr these changes should "be made only in a general rate case," u,hich does not necessarily align with the Company's more vague description ofqualitying dockets as a "tuture rate proceeding." Vl. Impacts on IPC-E-I9-15: Application to Study Measuremont Inten'al for On-Site Generation Undcr Schedule 84 Staff recommends the Commission direct the Company to u'ithdraw its Application in IPC-E-19-15. That case was conducted in a manner almost idcntical to IPC-E-I8-15. which the Commission tirund to not sufficiently include public pa(icipation and required the completion of a credible and leir comprehensive study. Staff believes it would be reasonable lbr the Commission to direct partics in IPC-E-19-15 to prepare a comprehensive study using the same procedures and the same criteria established by Order No. 34509 fbr residential and small general service customers.
