IRP ADVISORY COUNCIL
Idaho Power has involved representatives of the public in the IRP planning process since the
early 1990s. This public forum is known as the IRP Advisory Council (IRPAC). The IRPAC
generally meets monthly during the development of the IRP, and the meetings are open to the
public. Members of the council include regulatory, political, environmental, and customer
representatives, as well as representatives of other public-interest groups.
Idaho Power hosted nine IRPAC meetings for the 2021 IRP, with an additional three workshops
that focused on various topics, such as a review of the AURORA modeling software. Idaho
Power values these opportunities to convene, and the IRPAC members and the public have
made significant contributions to this plan.
Idaho Power the IRP is better because of public involvement and is grateful to the individuals
and groups that participated in the process.

1 Cost of Capital includes tax credit benefits (ITC/PTC).
2 Non-Fuel O&M includes fixed and variable costs and property taxes.
3 Fuel costs are not included for biomass resource.
4 Storage resources will have a cost or benefit associated with the price difference between the energy price to charge the storage and the energy price during the time of discharge (less losses). Arbitrage is not included in the LCOE calculation in the table. As noted in IRP, levelized cost for storage resources is driven by fixed costs.
5 Transmission resource costs do not include potential benefits of additional short-term and non-firm third-party wheeling usage. The LCOE does not include a price for market purchases, therefore, the LCOE in this table can be viewed as a cost above the market purchase price for the energy assuming the associated capacity factor.
6 Capacity factor for 4-hour storage resources assume one discharge cycle per day; 8-hour storage resources and above assume eight hours of discharge per day.

Hydro Flow Modeling
Hydro Models
Idaho Power uses two modeling methods (planning models) for the development of future
hydro flow scenarios for the IRP. The first method accounts for surface water regulation in the
system, this consists of two models built in the CADSWES RiverWare modeling framework. The
first of these models covers the spatial extent of the Snake River basin from the headwaters to
Brownlee inflow. The second model takes the results of the first and regulates the flows
through the Hells Canyon Complex (HCC). The second modeling method uses the Enhanced
Snake Plain Aquifer Model (ESPAM) to model aquifer management practices implemented on
the Eastern Snake Plain Aquifer (ESPA). The planning models have been updated to include
hydrologic conditions for water years 1951 through 2018. ESPAM was updated with the release
of ESPAM 2.1 in late 2012.
Hydro Model Inputs
The inputs for the 2021 IRP were derived, in part, from management practices outlined in an
agreement between the Surface Water Coalition (SWC) and Idaho Groundwater Appropriators
(IGWA). The agreement set out specific targets for several management practices that include
aquifer recharge, system conversions, and a total reduction in ground water diversions of
240,000 acre-feet. The modeling also included inputs from other entities diverting ground
water on the ESPA who have separate mitigation agreements with the SWC. Model inputs also
included a long-term analysis of trends in reach gains to the Snake River from Palisades Dam to
King Hill. Weather modification activities conducted by Idaho Power and other participating
entities were included in the modeling effort. The modeling also included aquifer recharge
efforts by the Idaho Water Resource Board who is targeting an average annual natural flow
recharge of 250,000 acre-ft per year.
Recharge capacity modeled for the 2021 IRP included diversions with the capability of diverting
all available water at the Snake River below Milner Dam during the winter months under typical
release conditions. These diversions can have a significant impact to flows downstream of
Milner Dam. Total recharge diversions, including private and state sponsored programs, are
modeled at approximately 407,000 acre-ft per year of the IRP. In IRP year 2025, approximately
195,000 acre-feet (acre-ft) of recharge diversions occur above American Falls Reservoir and
212,000 acre-ft is diverted at Milner Dam. The 2021 IRP included approximately
55,000 acre-feet of additional annual recharge not included in the 2019 IRP. This increase in
projected recharge activity is based upon recharge activity observed from spring 2016 through
spring 2020. The additional annual recharge volume can be attributed to the development of
private aquifer recharge and state sponsored storage water recharge demonstrating a higher
level of recharge capacity than anticipated in the 2019 IRP.

2021 Integrated Resource Plan—Appendix C Page 53
System conversion projects involve the conversion of ground water supplied irrigated land to
surface water supplied irrigated land. The number of acres modeled and potential water
savings was based on data provided by the Idaho Department of Water Resources (IDWR) and
local ground water districts. The current model assumes approximately 57,000 acres of
converted land on the ESPA. Water savings for conversion projects are calculated at a rate of
2.0 acre-ft/converted acre. Diversions for conversion projects are modeled at approximately
114,000 acre-ft and are held essentially constant through all years of the IRP. The model
accounted for approximately 140,000 acre-ft decrease in ground water pumping from the ESPA.
The decrease was spread evenly over ground water irrigated lands subject to the agreement
between the SWC and the IGWA. The SWC agreement requires a total reduction of
240,000 acre-ft per year (acre-ft/year), but the agreement allows for a portion to be offset by
aquifer recharge activities. Based on recent management activity, approximately 100,000 acre-
ft/year reduction is accomplished through other forms of mitigation, such as private aquifer
recharge.
The 2021 IRP modeling also recognized ongoing declines in specific reaches. Future reach
declines were determined using several statistical analyses. Trend data indicate reach gains
from Blackfoot to Neely and from Lower Salmon Falls Dam to King Hill demonstrated a
statistically significant decline from 1990 to 2019. The long-term declines are still present, but
they have improved since the 2019 IRP. Reach gains to the Snake River increased since 2017.
The increases in reach gains may be due to recent high runoff events, good supply of irrigation
water, and aquifer recharge activities. This results in additional water in the Snake River
throughout the planning period. Weather modification was added to the model at various
levels of development. For IRP years 2021 through 2026, weather modification reflects the
current 2020 level of program development in Eastern Idaho and the Wood River, Boise, and
Payette basins. Beyond IRP year 2026, weather modification levels in Eastern Idaho and the
Wood River and Boise basins were increased due to an anticipation of expanding the cloud
seeding program. The level of weather modification was held constant at the current level in
the Payette River Basin throughout the IRP planning period. The modeling also accounts for
changes in reach gains from observed water management activities on the ESPA since 2014.
Reach gain calculations include management activities since 2014. Idaho Power used data from
IDWR and other sources to determine the magnitude of the management activities and the
ESPAM was used to model the projected reach gains. The impact of those management
activities can have impacts on reach gains for up to 30 years.
Hydro Model Results
The modeling methods implemented by Idaho Power allows for the inclusion of all future
management activities, and the resulting reach gains from those management activities into
Idaho Power’s 2021 IRP. Management activities, such as recharge and system conversions, do

Page 54 2021 Integrated Resource Plan—Appendix C
not significantly change the total annual volume of water expected to flow through the HCC,
but instead change the timing and location of reach gains within the system. Other future
management activities, such as weather modification and a decrease in ground water pumping,
directly impact the annual volume of water expected through the HCC as well as the timing and
location of gains within the system.
Overall inflow to Brownlee Reservoir increases from IRP modeled year 2021 through 2026.
Flows peak in 2026 with the 50% exceedance water year annual inflow to Brownlee Reservoir at
just over 12.86 million acre-ft/year. In 2040, those flows declined to approximately
12.59 million acre-ft/year.
The Brownlee inflow volumes for the 2021 IRP are higher than those reported in the 2019 IRP.
There are several factors leading to the increase in modeled flows. The change in reach declines
had a significant impact on inflows to Brownlee Reservoir. For example, in model year 2038 the
increase in Brownlee inflow volume attributable to changes in reach declines between the 2021
and 2019 IRPs is approximately 380,000 acre-feet. Weather modification volume increased by
approximately 10,000 acre-ft/year in the 2021 IRP as compared to the 2019 IRP. The other
notable change is the observed recharge conducted in 2018 through 2020 exceeded recharge
volume assumptions made during the 2019 IRP. Over 1,000,000 acre-ft water were recharged
to the ESPA during 2018 through 2020. While outside the modeling period of 2021 to 2040, the
reach gains resulting from this recharge are modeled and significantly increase reach gains for
the modeling period. The modeled reach gains from this recharge increased reach gains in the
Snake River and inflows to Brownlee Reservoir particularly during the first five years of the
modeling period.

Stochastic Risk Analysis
Page 92 2021 Integrated Resource Plan—Appendix C
STOCHASTIC RISK ANALYSIS
The stochastic analysis assesses the effect on portfolio costs when select variables take on
values different from their planning-case levels. Stochastic variables are selected based on the
degree to which there is uncertainty regarding their forecasts and the degree to which they can
affect the analysis results (i.e., portfolio costs).
The purpose of the analysis is to understand the range of portfolio costs across the full extent
of stochastic shocks (i.e., across the full set of stochastic iterations) and how the ranges for
portfolios differ.
Idaho Power identified the following three variables for the stochastic analysis:
1. Natural gas price—Based on the historical Henry Hub natural gas price data for the 1997
to 2020 period, it was determined that natural gas price variance around the trend
approximates a log-normal distribution with a year-to-year correlation factor of 0.55.
The graph below shows planning case average annual price in the black dashed line and
the remaining-colored lines show the 20 different stochastic iterations for Henry Hub
gas prices.

2. Customer load—Customer load follows a normal distribution and is adjusted around the
planning case load forecast, which is shown as the dashed line in the figure below. To
assess the reasonableness of the stochastic error bounds as they relate to customer
load, the upper and lower bounds were compared to the load forecast 90/10 error
bounds. For both the upper and lower bound, the stochastic values were found to fall
slightly outside of the 90/10 bounds which is to be expected. The stochastic process
produces 20 scenarios which could be expected to test a larger bound of 95/5.
Customer Load Sampling (Annual MWh)
3. Hydroelectric variability—Hydroelectric generation variability was found to approximate
a uniform distribution based on the historical generation from the 1951 to 2017 period.
Although an unexpected result based on the non-uniform distribution of rainfall across
the Snake River Basin, the regulation of streamflow likely explains the difference
between rainfall and generation distributions. In addition to the distribution, the
historical data also shows a correlation between years of 0.55.

Stochastic Risk Analysis

Hydro Generation Sampling (Annual MWh)
The three selected stochastic variables are key drivers of variability in year-to-year
power-supply costs and therefore provide suitable stochastic shocks to allow differentiated
results for analysis.
Due to the significant time required to perform the stochastic risk analysis, Idaho Power was
limited to performing a maximum of 20 risk iterations. Based on the sample size, the choice was
made to use the Latin Hypercube sampling technique over a pure Monte Carlo method.
The Latin Hypercube design samples the distribution range with a relatively smaller sample size,
allowing a reduction in simulation run times. The Latin Hypercube method does this by
sampling at regular intervals across the distribution spectrum. Contrast this to Monte Carlo
methods where samples are taken randomly from the distribution range. The random Monte
Carlo draw requires far more than 20 iterations to ensure a good distribution of draws. Once
the stochastic elements are drawn, Idaho Power then calculated the 20-year NPV portfolio cost
for each of the 20 iterations for all evaluated portfolios. The distribution of 20-year NPV
portfolio costs for the portfolios are shown in the graph below.

In the figure above, each line represents the likelihood of occurrence by NPV with the diamonds
showing the planning conditions NPV. Higher values on the line represent a higher probability
of occurrence with values near the horizontal axis representing improbable events. Values that
occur toward the left have lower cost while values toward the right have higher cost. As
indicated by the peak of the graph being furthest left, the results of the stochastic analysis
show that the Preferred Portfolio (Base with B2H) is likely to have the lowest cost given a range
of natural gas prices, load forecasts, and hydroelectric generation levels. Next lowest is the
Base B2H PAC Bridger Alignment portfolio indicated by the middle peak. Nearly tied as the most
expensive options analyzed using stochastic elements are both Base without B2H portfolios
regardless of PAC Bridger alignment.
Loss of Load Expectation
Page 96 2021 Integrated Resource Plan—Appendix C
LOSS OF LOAD EXPECTATION
As utilities continue to add more renewable energy to the electric grid, it is becoming more
critical to analyze the effect variable energy resources have on system reliability. For the 2021
IRP, Idaho Power utilized the risk-based equations and methodologies described in this section
to calculate the contribution to peak of different variable energy resources for the AURORA
model and quantitatively analyze the risk associated with the portfolios. The company chose to
conduct this study because of the recognition that the output of variable energy resources such
as wind and solar change with time (with their hourly output being dependent on a multitude
of factors like weather and environmental conditions) and that it is essential to capture and
value that variability. Another key factor for conducting this study is that the industry is also
attempting to establish a generally accepted method to calculate the contribution to peak of
variable energy resources, so it is essential for Idaho Power to adopt and apply these
best practices.
Methodology Components
The Loss of Load Probability (LOLP) is the likelihood of the system load exceeding the available
generating capacity during a given time period (typically an hour). The LOLP can be calculated
by determining the probability that the available generation at any given hour is able to meet
the net load during that same hour. The LOLP can be defined as: 𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿=𝐿𝐿𝑖𝑖(𝐺𝐺𝑖𝑖− 𝐿𝐿𝑖𝑖)
where 𝐿𝐿𝑖𝑖 is the cumulative probability of the available generation required to meet the system
demand at hour 𝑖𝑖, 𝐺𝐺𝑖𝑖 is the available generation required to meet the system demand at hour 𝑖𝑖,
and 𝐿𝐿𝑖𝑖 is the system demand at hour 𝑖𝑖.
The Loss of Load Expectation (LOLE) is the expected number of days per time period for which
the available generation capacity is insufficient to serve the demand at least once per day. The
LOLE can be calculated by adding the maximum LOLP from each day for a time period (typically
over the course of a year). LOLE can be defined as: 𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿= �𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚[𝑖𝑖=1𝐻𝐻(𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝑖𝑖)]𝐷𝐷
𝑑𝑑=1
where 𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝑖𝑖 is the LOLP at hour 𝑖𝑖.
The Effective Load Carrying Capability (ELCC) is a reliability-based metric used to assess the
contribution to peak of any given generation unit or power plant. ELCC decomposes an
individual generator’s contribution to the overall system reliability and is primarily driven by the
timing of high LOLP hours. These calculated values were assigned to existing and selectable

resources when modeling the different portfolios. To calculate the ELCC of a resource, there are
two definitions that should first be stated:
hours a generation unit is forced off-line compared to the number of
hours the unit runs; for example, an EFOR of three percent means a
generator is forced off three percent of its running time.
always available and never forced off-line.
The ELCC of a resource is determined by first calculating the perfect generation required to
achieve an LOLE of 0.05 days per year with all market purchases set equal to zero. Then, the
resource being evaluated is added to the system and the perfect generation required is
calculated once again. The ELCC of a given resource will be equal to the difference in the size of
the perfect generators from the two runs divided by the resource’s nameplate: 𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸=𝐿𝐿𝐺𝐺1 −𝐿𝐿𝐺𝐺2𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁
where 𝐿𝐿𝐺𝐺1 is the perfect generation required to achieve an LOLE of 0.05 days per year without
including the evaluated resource, 𝐿𝐿𝐺𝐺2 is the perfect generation required to achieve an LOLE of
0.05 days per year with the evaluated resource included, and 𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁 is the nameplate of
the evaluated resource.
Modeling Idaho Power’s System
Idaho Power created a tool to implement the LOLE methodology and maximize computational
efficiency for modeling Idaho Power’s existing and potential resource stack. Within this tool,
the company’s resources were split into three primary categories: dispatchable resources,
intermittent resources, and energy limited resources (demand response and storage).
Dispatchable resources were modeled using a monthly outage table that was calculated using
their monthly capacity and EFOR. The outage table is comprised of the following four
components:
Loss of Load Expectation
Page 98 2021 Integrated Resource Plan—Appendix C
Dispatchable resources include the Hells Canyon Complex, natural gas plants, Bridger and
Valmy coal and various transmission assets with access to the market.
Variable resources (such as wind and solar) were modeled by using four years of historical
hourly output data to maintain the relationship between load and renewable generation. Other
resources for which Idaho Power does not have direct control over (in reference to their
dispatch) were also modeled using four years of historical hourly output data. Examples of
these resources include dairy digestors, non-wind and non-solar PURPA projects, run of river
hydroelectric plants and geothermal generation. In the model, these variable resources are
subtracted from the system adjusted load to produce a net load that is then used in the LOLE
calculations.
Because resources such as storage and demand response are dispatched based on the daily
peak load shape, Idaho Power devised a separate way to model energy limited resources. The
tool begins by sorting the days in a year from high to low based on their net load peak. Starting
on the day with the highest net load, a target for each day was set based on the net load peak
and the size of the demand response group or storage selection. After verifying that the
operating parameters of the demand response portfolio or storage resource are met on that
day, the algorithm iterates over each hour of the day and compares the net load with the
target. If the net load is above the target, the function will dispatch the MW assigned for that
hour. The algorithm will then move to the next day and perform all the checks before it iterates
over all the hours again; this is done for every day in each year.
This customization functionality of the LOLE tool allows for a detailed approach to modeling
Idaho Power’s system. As system needs continue to change, new analysis such as this LOLE tool
will be essential in best evaluating the company’s highest risk hours (which is of key importance
since they will no longer necessarily align with the peak load hour).
ELCC Results
The ELCC of future variable energy resources are dependent upon the order of the resources
built before them, making the ELCC calculation of future resources challenging. For the 2021
IRP, Idaho Power adopted the concept of “last-in ELCC” where from the future resources being
modeled, only one resource is added at a time. For example, to calculate the ELCC of future
solar PV, all the existing resources are modeled and only solar is included in the LOLE tool. This
approach will result in an accurate baseline for AURAORA to build the portfolios.
The average ELCC values used in AURORA for future solar PV, wind, demand response, 4-hour
storage, 8-hour storage and solar PV plus storage were fed into the model. The table below
shows the ELCC for existing and future resources that were used in the AURORA model.
Loss of Load Expectation
2021 Integrated Resource Plan—Appendix C Page 99
LOLE of Portfolios
To quantitively analyze portfolio reliability, Idaho Power fed portfolio results into the
company’s LOLE tool, as described in Chapter 10 of the 2021 IRP. Idaho Power utilized a
reliability threshold (LOLE) of 0.1 days per year in the 2019 IRP. For the 2021 IRP, Idaho Power is
adopting a reliability threshold of 0.05 days per year. The 0.05 (1-in-20) reliability threshold was
chosen to 1) account for the extreme weather events that are becoming more frequent in the
Northwest, and 2) factor in water availability uncertainty year to year. A poor water year,
resulting in reduced hydro generation, can look equivalent to a season-long resource outage.
This 0.05 days per year threshold aligns with the reliability threshold used by the Northwest
Power & Conservation Council (NWPCC).
The LOLE tool was used to evaluate various portfolios created by AURORA using the four test
years, producing an average LOLE for each year of the planning horizon for each of the selected
portfolios. A generator with an EFOR of 5% was added to the LOLE tool when the LOLE of a
particular year was above the preestablished threshold.

COMPLIANCE WITH STATE OF OREGON IRP GUIDELINES
Guideline 1: Substantive Requirements
a. All resources must be evaluated on a consistent and comparable basis.
• All known resources for meeting the utility's load should be considered, including
supply-side options which focus on the generation, purchase and transmission of
power or gas purchases, transportation, and storage and demand side options which
focus on conservation and demand response.
• Utilities should compare different resource fuel types, technologies, lead times, in-
service dates, durations and locations in portfolio risk modeling.
• Consistent assumptions and methods should be used for evaluation of all resources.
• The after-tax marginal weighted-average cost of capital (WACC) should be used to
discount all future resource costs.
Idaho Power response:
Idaho Power considered a range of resource types including renewables (e.g., wind and storage), demand-side management,
transmission, market purchases, thermal resources, and energy storage. Each of these resources was included as options in
the AURORA capacity expansion modeling.
Supply-side and purchased resources for meeting the utility’s load are discussed in Chapter 4. Idaho Power Today; demand-
side options are discussed in Chapter 6. Demand-Side Resources; and transmission resources are discussed in Chapter 7.
Transmission Planning.
New resource options including fuel types, technologies, lead times, in-service dates, durations, and locations are described
in Chapter 5. Future Supply-side Generation and Storage Resources, Chapter 6. Demand-Side resources, Chapter 7.
Transmission Planning, and Chapter 8. Planning Period Forecasts.
The consistent modeling method for evaluating new resource options is described in Chapter 8. Planning Period Forecasts
and Chapter 10. Modeling Analysis and Results.
The WACC rate used to discount all future resource costs is discussed in the Technical Appendix Supply Side Resource Data –
Key Financial and Forecast Assumptions.
b. Risk and uncertainty must be considered.
• At a minimum, utilities should address the following sources of risk and uncertainty:
1. Electric utilities: load requirements, hydroelectric generation, plant forced
outages, fuel prices, electricity prices, and costs to comply with any regulation of
greenhouse gas emissions.
2. Natural gas utilities: demand (peak, swing, and baseload), commodity supply and
price, transportation availability and price, and costs to comply with any
regulation of greenhouse gas emissions.
• Utilities should identify in their plans any additional sources of risk and uncertainty.
Compliance with State of Oregon IRP Guidelines
Page 102 2021 Integrated Resource Plan—Appendix C
Idaho Power response:
Electric utility risk and uncertainty factors (load, natural gas, and hydroelectric generation) for resource portfolios are
considered in Chapter 10. Modeling Analysis and Results. Plant forced outages are modeled in AURORA on a unit basis and
are discussed in Chapter 9 Portfolios. Risk and uncertainty associated with high natural gas and high carbon cost are
discussed in Chapter 9 Portfolios.
Additional sources of risk and uncertainty including regional resource adequacy and qualitative risks are discussed in Chapter 10. Modeling Analysis and Results.
c. The primary goal must be the selection of a portfolio of resources with the best
combination of expected costs and associated risks and uncertainties for the utility and
its customers.
• The planning horizon for analyzing resource choices should be at least 20 years and
account for end effects. Utilities should consider all costs with a reasonable
likelihood of being included in rates over the long term, which extends beyond the
planning horizon and the life of the resource.
• Utilities should use present value of revenue requirement (PVRR) as the key cost
metric. The plan should include analysis of current and estimated future costs for all
long-lived resources such as power plants, gas storage facilities, and pipelines, as
well as all short-lived resources such as gas supply and short-term power purchases.
• To address risk, the plan should include, at a minimum:
a. Two measures of PVRR risk: one that measures the variability of costs and one
that measures the severity of bad outcomes.
b. Discussion of the proposed use and impact on costs and risks of physical and
financial hedging.
• The utility should explain in its plan how its resource choices appropriately balance
cost and risk.
Idaho Power response:
The IRP methodology and the planning horizon of 20 years are discussed in Chapter 1. Background.
Modeling analysis of current and estimated future costs for all long-lived resources such as power plants, gas storage
facilities, and pipelines, as well as all short-lived resources such as gas supply and short-term power purchases is discussed in
Chapter 10. Modeling Analysis and Results.
The discussion of cost variability and extreme outcomes, including bad outcomes is discussed in Chapter 10. Modeling
Analysis and Results.
Idaho Power’s Risk Management Policy regarding physical and financial hedging is discussed in Chapter 1. Background. Idaho

Compliance with State of Oregon IRP Guidelines
2021 Integrated Resource Plan—Appendix C Page 105
f. Each utility must submit an annual update on its most recently acknowledged plan. The
update is due on or before the acknowledgment order anniversary date. Once a utility
anticipates a significant deviation from its acknowledged IRP, it must file an update with
the Commission, unless the utility is within six months of filing its next IRP. The utility
must summarize the update at a Commission public meeting. The utility may request
acknowledgment of changes in proposed actions identified in an update.
Idaho Power response:

acknowledged in a previous IRP, with the key attributes of each resource specified as in
portfolio testing.
Idaho Power response:
An action plan is provided in the Executive Summary and in Chapter 11. Preferred Portfolio and Action Plan.
Guideline 5: Transmission
Portfolio analysis should include costs to the utility for the fuel transportation and electric
transmission required for each resource being considered. In addition, utilities should
consider fuel transportation and electric transmission facilities as resource options, taking
into account their value for making additional purchases and sales, accessing less costly
resources in remote locations, acquiring alternative fuel supplies, and improving reliability.
Idaho Power response:
The fuel costs (including transportation) for each resource being considered is presented in the Technical Appendix, Cost Inputs and Operating Assumptions. Transmission assumptions for supply-side resources considered are included in Chapter
7. Transmission Planning. Transportation for natural gas is discussed in Chapter 8. Planning Period Forecasts.
Guideline 6: Conservation
a. Each utility should ensure that a conservation potential study is conducted periodically
for its entire service territory.
Idaho Power response:
The contractor-provided conservation potential study for the 2021 IRP and is described in Chapter 6. Demand-Side
Resources.
b. To the extent that a utility controls the level of funding for conservation programs in its
service territory, the utility should include in its action plan all best cost/risk portfolio
Compliance with State of Oregon IRP Guidelines
2021 Integrated Resource Plan—Appendix C Page 109
conservation resources for meeting projected resource needs, specifying annual savings
targets.
Idaho Power response:
A forecast for energy efficiency effects is provided in Chapter 6. Demand-Side Resources. The load forecast into AURORA
includes the reduction to customer sales of all future achievable economic energy efficiency potential. In addition to the
baseline energy efficiency potential, the company modeled extra bundles of achievable technical energy efficiency and their
costs in the AURORA model.
c. To the extent that an outside party administers conservation programs in a utility’s
service territory at a level of funding that is beyond the utility’s control, the utility
should:
• Determine the amount of conservation resources in the best cost/risk portfolio
without regard to any limits on funding of conservation programs; and
• Identify the preferred portfolio and action plan consistent with the outside
party’s projection of conservation acquisition.
Idaho Power response:
Idaho Power administers all its conservation programs except market transformation. Treatment of third-party market transformation savings was provided by the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA) and is discussed in Appendix B: Idaho Power’s Demand-Side Management 2020 Annual Report. NEEA savings are included as savings to meet targets because of the overlap of NEEA initiatives and IPC’s most recent potential study.
Guideline 7: Demand Response
Plans should evaluate demand response resources, including voluntary rate programs, on
par with other options for meeting energy, capacity, and transmission needs (for electric
utilities) or gas supply and transportation needs (for natural gas utilities).
Idaho Power response:
Demand response resources are evaluated in Chapter 6. Demand-Side Resources.
As part of the 2021 IRP’s rigorous examination of the potential for expanded demand response, Idaho Power utilized a
Northwest Power and Conservation Council (NWPCC) assessment of DR potential for the Northwest region to determine the DR potential that may be available in Idaho Power’s service area. Based on this assessment, Idaho Power estimated 584 MW of DR potential in its service area and concluded that any needed capacity from DR would be shifted to later hours of the day than what the current DR programs were designed for. Efforts to redesign each of Idaho Power’s current programs to better align with system needs took place over the summer and early fall of 2021. Based on the results of the analysis, Idaho Power submitted filings with both the IPUC and OPUC to modify the program parameters.
Guideline 8: Environmental Costs
a. Base case and other compliance scenarios: The utility should construct a base-case
scenario to reflect what it considers to be the most likely regulatory compliance future
for carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and mercury emissions.
Compliance with State of Oregon IRP Guidelines
Page 110 2021 Integrated Resource Plan—Appendix C
The utility should develop several compliance scenarios ranging from the present CO2
regulatory level to the upper reaches of credible proposals by governing entities.
Each compliance scenario should include a time profile of CO2 compliance requirements.
The utility should identify whether the basis of those requirements, or “costs,” would be
CO2 taxes, a ban on certain types of resources, or CO2 caps (with or without flexibility
mechanisms such as an allowance for credit trading as a safety valve). The analysis
should recognize significant and important upstream emissions that would likely have a
significant impact on resource decisions. Each compliance scenario should maintain
logical consistency, to the extent practicable, between the CO2 regulatory requirements
and other key inputs.
Idaho Power response:
The carbon price forecasts used in the 2021 IRP are found in Chapter 9. Portfolios. Compliance with existing environmental
regulation and emissions for each portfolio are discussed in Chapter 10. Modeling Analysis and Results. Emissions for each
portfolio are shown in the Technical Appendix.
b. Testing alternative portfolios against the compliance scenarios: The utility should
estimate, under each of the compliance scenarios, the present value revenue
requirement (PVRR) costs and risk measures, over at least 20 years, for a set of
reasonable alternative portfolios from which the preferred portfolio is selected. The
utility should incorporate end-effect considerations in the analyses to allow for
comparisons of portfolios containing resources with economic or physical lives that
extend beyond the planning period. The utility should also modify projected lifetimes as
necessary to be consistent with the compliance scenario under analysis. In addition, the
utility should include, if material, sensitivity analyses on a range of reasonably possible
regulatory futures for nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and mercury to further inform the
preferred portfolio selection.
Idaho Power response:
See Chapter 9. Portfolios and Chapter 10. Modeling Analysis and Results for discussion on the various scenarios and
comparative analysis of the scenarios. The company also evaluated coal unit conversions to natural gas fuel as a compliance
alternative in the portfolios.
c. Trigger point analysis: The utility should identify at least one CO2 compliance “turning
point” scenario, which, if anticipated now, would lead to, or “trigger” the selection of a
portfolio of resources that is substantially different from the preferred portfolio. The
utility should develop a substitute portfolio appropriate for this trigger-point scenario
and compare the substitute portfolio’s expected cost and risk performance to that of
the preferred portfolio – under the base case and each of the above CO2 compliance
scenarios. The utility should provide its assessment of whether a CO2 regulatory future
that is equally or more stringent that the identified trigger point will be mandated.

2021 Integrated Resource Plan—Appendix C Page 111
Idaho Power response:
See Chapter 9. Portfolios and Chapter 10. Modeling Analysis and Results for discussion on the various scenarios and
comparative analysis of the scenarios.
d. Oregon compliance portfolio: If none of the above portfolios is consistent with Oregon
energy policies (including state goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions) as those
policies are applied to the utility, the utility should construct the best cost/risk portfolio
that achieves that consistency, present its cost and risk parameters, and compare it to
those in the preferred and alternative portfolios.
Idaho Power response:
The company evaluated “100% Clean by 2035” and “100% Clean by 2045” scenarios. The results of the portfolios are
presented in the Technical Appendix.
Guideline 9: Direct Access Loads
An electric utility’s load-resource balance should exclude customer loads that are effectively
committed to service by an alternative electricity supplier.
Idaho Power response:
Idaho Power does not have any customers served by alternative electricity suppliers and Idaho Power has no direct
access loads.
Guideline 10: Multi-state Utilities
Multi-state utilities should plan their generation and transmission systems, or gas supply
and delivery, on an integrated-system basis that achieves a best cost/risk portfolio for all
their retail customers.
Idaho Power response:
Idaho Power’s analysis was performed on an integrated-system basis discussed in Chapter 10. Modeling Analysis and Results.
Idaho Power will file the 2021 IRP in both the Idaho and Oregon jurisdictions.
Guideline 11: Reliability
Electric utilities should analyze reliability within the risk modeling of the actual portfolios
being considered. Loss of load probability, expected planning reserve margin, and expected
and worst-case unserved energy should be determined by year for top-performing
portfolios. Natural gas utilities should analyze, on an integrated basis, gas supply,
transportation, and storage, along with demand-side resources, to reliably meet peak,
swing, and base-load system requirements. Electric and natural gas utility plans should
Compliance with State of Oregon IRP Guidelines
Page 112 2021 Integrated Resource Plan—Appendix C
demonstrate that the utility’s chosen portfolio achieves its stated reliability, cost, and risk
objectives.
Idaho Power response:
The capacity planning margin and regulating reserves are discussed in Chapter 9. Portfolios. A loss of load expectation
analysis and regional resource adequacy are discussed in Chapter 10. Modeling Analysis and Results.
Guideline 12: Distributed Generation
Electric utilities should evaluate distributed generation technologies on par with other
supply-side resources and should consider, and quantify where possible, the additional
benefits of distributed generation.
Idaho Power response:
Distributed generation technologies were evaluated in Chapter 5. Future Supply-Side Generation and Storage Resources and in Chapter 8. Planning Period Forecasts.
Guideline 13: Resource Acquisition
a. An electric utility should, in its IRP:
• Identify its proposed acquisition strategy for each resource in its action plan.
• Assess the advantages and disadvantages of owning a resource instead of
purchasing power from another party.
• Identify any Benchmark Resources it plans to consider in competitive bidding.
Idaho Power response:
Idaho Power identifies its proposed acquisition strategy in Chapter 11. Preferred Portfolio and Action Plan. Idaho Power’s
near-term resource procurement strategy is discussed in Chapter 11. Preferred Portfolio and Action Plan.
b. Natural gas utilities should either describe in the IRP their bidding practices for gas
supply and transportation, or provide a description of those practices following IRP
acknowledgment.
Idaho Power response:
Not applicable.
