Re:Case No. IPC-E-19-30
Snedigar Hydro PURPA Project Energy Sales Agreement
Replacement Pages 38-39
Dear Ms. Hanian
On October 4,2019, in Case No. IPC-E-19-30, ldaho Power Company ("ldaho
Power") filed an Application with the ldaho Public Utilities Commission ("Commission")
regarding an Energy Sales Agreement ("ESA") between ldaho Power and David
Snedigar ("Snediga/') under which ldaho Power will purchase electric generation from
the Snedigar Hydro Qualifying Facility,
Commission Staff identified clerical errors on pages 38 and 39 of Appendix B of
the ESA. The last sentence of Section B-3, page 38, should read "December 27 ,2019",
instead of December 27,2020, and the beginning of the second sentence of Section B-
7, page 39, should include the phrase: "The DNR status will continue if . . . ."
ldaho Power has spoken with Snedigar about this issue and sent replacement
pages for the ESA to Snedigar and Commission Staff on November 21 ,2019.
Therefore, enclosed please find an original and seven (7) copies of replacement pages
38 and 39 of Appendix B of the ESA between ldaho Power and Snedigar.
Very truly yours,

MAXIMUM CAPACITY AMOLINT:
The Maximum Capacity Amount is 495 kW which is consistent with the value provided by the
Seller to ldaho Power in accordance with the GIA. This value is the maximum generation (kW)
that potentially could be delivered by the Seller's Facility to the ldaho Power electrical system at
any moment in time.
POINT OF DELIVERY
"Point of Delivery" means, unless otherwise agreed by both Parties, the point ofwhere the
Seller's Facility energr is delivered to the ldaho Power electrical system. The GIA will determine
the specific Point of Delivery for this Facility. The Point of Delivery identified by the GIA will
become an integral part ofthis Ag'eement.
LOSSES
Ifthe ldaho Power metering equipment is capable ofmeasuring the energr deliveries by the Seller
to the ldaho Power electrical system at the Point of Delivery, no Losses will be calculated for this
Facility. lfthe Idaho Power metering equipment is unable to measure the energy deliveries directly
at the Point of Delivery, the Losses will be calculated. This loss calculalion is currently set at 1.24olo
ofthe kwh electricity production recorded on the Facility generation metering equipment. lfal any
time during the term ofthis Agreement, ldaho Power determines that the loss calculation needs to
be revised due to a change in the electrical equipment or some other factor, then ldaho Power may
adjust the calculation and retroactively adjust the previous month's kWh loss calculations.
DESICNATED NETWORK RESOURCE (DNR)
This Facility is an ldaho Power DNR pursuant to an existing enerry sales agreement. lhc I)\R

is contingent upon timely receipt ofthe required information from the Seller. Prior to ldaho Power
beginning the process to enable ldaho Power to submit a request for DNR status for lhis Facility,
the Scller shall have I ) filed a Generation Interconnection application, 2) submitted all information
required by ldaho Power lo complete the application, and 3) either executed this Agreement or, at
a minimum, provided ldaho Power with confirmation of the Seller's intenl to complete this
Agreement in a timely manner. S€ller's failure to provide complete and accurat€ information
