Tariff Advice No. 21-03
AnnualCompliance Filing to Update the Substation Allowance under
Schedule 19, Large Power Service
Dear Ms. Noriyuki:
ldaho Power Company ("ldaho Powefl or"Company") hereby submits its proposed
update to the Substation Allowance amount outlined in Schedule 19, Large Power Service
('Schedule 19"). This is the annua! compliance filing to update the Substation Allowance
amount contained within Schedule 19 as required by ldaho Public Utilities Commission
Order Nos. 32893 and 32914. The following tariff sheet identifies the proposed
modiltcation:
Eighth Revised Sheet No. 19-6 Cancelling Seventh Revised Sheet No. 19-6
The cost estimation methodology the Company used in this tariff advice is the
same methodology the Company presented in Case Nos. IPC-E-13-09, IPC-E-14-01,
and IPC-E-19-,40. The updated Substation Allowance reflects updated materia! costs,
labor rates, and the stations overhead rate. The Substation Allowance amount increased
$8,624 to $57,640 , or 17 .6 percent. The primary driver for the increase of the Substation
Allowance is attributed to increases in the cost of the 138kV/13.09kV, 44.8 MVA
transformer and the 4-unit metalclad switchgear of approximately 17 percent and 25
percent, respectively. Other material costs generally increased, partially offset by a slight
decrease in the general overhead rate from 8.97 percent to 8.63 percent.
