1. DOE, through its ldaho Operations Office, operates the facilities at the
ldaho National Laboratory ("lNL) site located approximately 50 miles west of ldaho
Falls, ldaho. ldaho Power has supplied electric service to the DOE and its predecessors
since 1950 and currently serves DOE under a special contract in accordance with the
rates and charges set out in Electric Service Rate Schedule 30 ("Schedule 30") and its
suooessor schedules.
2. The current special contract between ldaho Power and DOE was
approved by the Commission by Order No. 33621 issued in Case No. IPC-E-16-18
("2016 Agreement'). The five-year term of the 2016 Agreement is effective through
September 14,2021 .
3. Like most companies that contract with the federal government, an
overarching U.S. General Services Administration ("GSA") Areawide Contract govems
business interactions between the federal government and ldaho Power. ldaho Power
and DOE have successfully negotiated the terms and conditions of a new Authorization
for Elestric Service to the GSA that comprises lhe 2021 electric service agreement
("2021Agreement') - also known as a "specia! contract.'
II. 2021 AGREEMENT
4. Key terms of the 2021 Agr*ment, which is enclosed as Attachment 1 to
this Application, are described below.
5. Services to be Provided bv ldaho Power throuoh Calendar Year 2024.
ldaho Power will furnish to DOE its requirements for all electric power, which DOE may
request in accordance with the terms of the 2021 Agreement. The Company agrees to
APPLICATION .2
provide DOE with up to 65,000 kilowatts ("kW') monthly for the operation of the facilities
at the INL site through the calendar year 2024. DOE may request additional power
requirements in excess of 65,000 kW per month for the INL site with eighteen (18)
months' written notice in advance of the first day of the month DOE desires the
additional power requirements be made available; provided, however, that ldaho Power
shall have sole discretion to grant or deny any requests by DOE for additional power
requirements in excess of 65,000 kW per month. ln exercising that discretion, the
Company will take into account its obligation to provide reliable and cost-effective
electric service for all customers, including lNL, and reply in the manner set forth in
Section 2.1 of the 2O2l Agreement.
6. Services to be Provided bv ldaho Power after Calendar Year 2024. !n
addition, the Parties agree to engage in good faith negotiations to determine new rates,
conditions, and charges for INL's anticipated increase in power requirements estimated
to occur in 2025 and beyond. Rates, rate structures, and charges will be subject to
change and may include the introduction of new charges related to adjustments in INL's
requirements as approved by the Commission. Each party reserves the right to present
any position in a proceeding before the Commission regarding the reasonableness of
the rates, conditions, and charges for electric power and energy to be supplied to lNL.
7. Deliverv of Electric Service. Under the 2021Agreement, ldaho Power will
supply three-phase, 60 hertz alternating current at normal 138,000 volts, with a
maximum steady state variation of plus or minus 5 percent under normal system
conditions via the two existing interconnection lines between the Antelope substation
and DOE's Scoville substation. The Point of Delivery of the electric power supplied by
APPLICATION.3
the Company to DOE will be at the Point of Interconnection with DOE's slack spans,
located at DOE's Scoville substration.
8. Forecast of Demand. Upon execution of the 2021 Agreement, and on
each May 1 thereafter, DOE will provide ldaho Power with DOE's forecast of demand
and energy expected to be actually supplied and delivered by ldaho Power for each
month during the next 16 months together with a brecast of the annual firm power load
requirements (demand and energy) expected to be supplied by ldaho Power for a
forecasted ten (10) year period. ln addition, DOE will provide the Company in advance
with information as to conditions affecting DOE's load requirements neoessary for ldaho
Power in load dispatching and in planning of power system operation, prompt notice of
any abnormal system operating conditions, as well as all known or anticipated increases
or decreases in DOE's power requirements other than normal load growth.
9, On-Site Generation. DOE reserves the right to install and operate
generation at the INL site to offset all or part of DOE's energy usage consistent with
applicable Commission approved rules and rate schedules. Pursuant to Section 2.1 ot
the 2021 Agrcement, such generation may require modification to INL's rates, rate
structure, and applicable charges.
