CASE NO. IPC-E-20-30
SUPPLEMENTAL APPLICATION
TO ESTABLISH TARIFF
SCHEDULE 68
1. On July 20, 2020, Idaho Power Company ("Idaho Power" or "Company")
filed an initial Application with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission ("Commission") for
authority to establish tariff Schedule 68, Interconnections to Customer Distributed Energy
Resources ("Schedule 68").
2. The Application was accompanied by the direct testimony of Company
witnesses Connie G. Aschenbrenner and Jared L. Ellsworth. Also filed as Attachment 1
to the Application was the proposed new tariff Schedule 68; Attachment 2 containing a
red-lined, legislative format of the revised tariff Schedule 72, Generator Interconnections
to PURPA Qualifying Facility Sellers ("Schedule 72"); and Attachment 3 containing a
clean version of the revised Schedule 72.
IDAHO POWER'S SUPPLEMENTAL APPLICATION
TO ESTABLISH TARIFF SCHEDULE 68 -1
3. Since filing the Application on July 20, 2020, Idaho Power identified three
other schedules in its tariff referencing the current Schedule 72, and existing defined
terms contained within, that should be updated to reflect the proposed creation of
Schedule 68. These references are found in Schedule 6, Residential Service On-Site
Generation ("Schedule 6''), Schedule 8, Small General Service On-Site Generation
("Schedule 8"), and Schedule 84, Customer Energy Production Net Metering Service
("Schedule 84"). While not substantive in nature, upon approval, the proposed
modifications will provide consistent references to the appropriate interconnection tariff
for retail customers -Schedule 68.
4. Therefore, Idaho Power now supplements its initial Application with
Attachment 4 containing a red-lined, legislative format of the revised tariff Schedules 6,
8, and 84; and Attachment 5 containing a clean version of the revised Schedules 6, 8,
and 84, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference.
VI. REQUEST FOR RELIEF
5. Idaho Power respectfully requests that the Commission issue an order: (1)
authorizing that this matter may be processed by Modified Procedure; (2) approving the
proposed Schedule 68, and (3) approving the revised Schedules 6, 8, 72, and 84.
Respectfully submitted this 13th day of August 2020.

additional investment by the Company for new transmission, substation or terminal facilities is not
necessary to supply the desired service. This service is available to Customers intending to operate
Exporting Systems under this schedule to generate electricity to reduce all or part of their monthly energy
usage.
APPLICABILITY
Effective until a final order is issued that addresses metering configuration for Schedule
84 customers, and any appeal period has passed or the order has been upheld on appeal, existing
Schedule 8 customers who no longer meet the energy usage requirement of Schedule 8 that
'energy usage is 2,000 kWh, or less, per Billing Period for ten or more Billing Periods during the
