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. P.O.
