IDAIIO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION,
Respondent, Respondent on Appeal,
and
PACIFICORP DBA ROCKY MOTINTAIN
POWE&
Respondent.
On July 27,2011, the Commission issued Final Order on Reconsideration No. 32302
affirming its prior decision to not approve five Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs or
Ageements) entered into between Cedar Creek Wind and PacifiCorp dba Rocky Mountain
Power pursuant to the federal Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA). Based
upon the expressed t€fins of the five Agreements, the Commission found that the PPAs were not
effective prior to December 14,2010 - the date on which the eligibilrty for PURPA published
avoided cost rates in Idatro changed from 10 average megawatts (aIvIUD to 100 kilowatts ftW)
for wind and solar qualiffing facilities (QFg. Order No. 32260. Because each of tlre PPAs
IoRDER NO. 32419
requested publislred avoided cost rates but ttre projects werc in excess of 100 kW, the
Commission found ttrat ttre published rate was no longer available to the projects.
On August 5,2}ll, Cedar Creek filed a Petition with the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC) claiming that the Commission's Order No. 32302 was inconsistent with
FERC's regulations implementing PLJRPA. While its Petition to FERC was pending Cedar
Creelq on August 31,2011, also appealed the Commission's ffier to the Idaho Supreme Court.
On October 4,2011, FERC issued an Order concluding that the Commission's Order was
inconsistent with PURPA and FERC's PURPA regulations.
On October 24,2011, the Commission and Cedar Creek filed a Stipulated Motion
with the ldatro Suprerne Court ttrat the appeal be temporarily zuspended and the matter remanded
to the Commission.l Suqpending the appeal would allow the Commission to reconsider its Order
No. 32302 in light of the FERC Order and provide the parties with an opportunity to discuss the
possibility of resolving the dispute. I.A.R. 13.3. On November 9, 2011, the Court issued an
Order zuspending the appeal and re,manding the matter to the Commission for firther review.
On remand, the Commission invited settlement of the entire dispute and authorized the
Commission Staff to participate in the settlement negotiations. Order No. 32386 ctting Rules
352 and 353. Cedar Creek, Rocky Morlrtain and Staff(collectively the "Parties") convened four
settlement conferences. On December 15,2011, the Parties filed a Motion to approve a
"Stipulation of Settlement and Request for Approval of Power Purchase Ageements"
('Settlement Stipulation") ftat proposed to settle all the disputed issues.
Having reviewed the underlying administative record, the FERC Order and the
Settlement Stipulation, the Commission issues this final Reconsideration Order on Remand. As
explained in greater detail below, the Commission approves the Settlement Stipulation and
approves the three modified PPAs. Accordingly, tlrc Commission amends and clarifies its prior
Order No. 32302 to be consistent with this Order. Idaho Code $ 61-624.

Nevcrtheless, Rocky Mountain supported the suspension and rcmand.
oRDER NO. 32419 2
BACKGROT'NI)
A, E@ility Cap Cose
Prior to the filing of the five Cedar Crpek PPAs, Avista Corporation, Idaho Power
Company, and Rocky Mormtain (collectively 'lhe Utilities") petitioned the Commission on
November 5, 2010, to initiate a generic investigation to address various PLJFJA issues. The
Utilities also requested that wtrile the investigation was undenvay, the Commission
"immediately''reduce the eligibility cap or ceiling for the *published" avoided cost rate from l0
a[,IW per month to 100 kW per month. Order Nos. 32212 and 32302,2 The Commission issued
a Notice and Order openlng a separate investigation (GNR-E-10-04), solicircd initial and reply
comments, and convened an oral argument to address the proposed redustion in the eligibility
cap. OrderNo. 32131 at 6-7.
The Commission subsequenfly found that the Utilities had made a convincing case to
temporarily "reduce the eligibility cap for published avoided cost rates from l0 aI\,IW to 100 kW
for wind and solar [OFs] only while the Commission further investigates" other PLJRPA issues.
Order No. 32176 at 9 (emphasis original). Consistent with its prior Notice, the Commission
ordered that the eligibility cap for the published rate be reduced from l0 a[/tW to 100 kW for
wind and solar projects effective December 14, 2010. Order Nos. 32176, 32212, 32302. No
party, including Cedar Creek, appealed the Commission's decision to reduce the eligibility cap.
OrderNo. 32302 at 5, 14-15.
B. The Five OrtghalAgreemenb
The procedual history of this consolidated case is complex and lengthy, but the
pertinent points are surnmarized here. On December 22, 2010, Rocky Mountain Power and
Cedar Creek executed five separate PPAs for five wind QF projects.3 Under the terms of each
Agreement, eaeh project agreed to sell energy to Rocky Mountain for a2}-year term using the
published avoided cost rate set by the Commission. Taken together, the five projects had a
2 Pursuant to FERC's PT RPA negulations, state commissions must 'lublish" an avoided cost rate for small QFs
with the design capaciry of 100 kW or less. 18 C.F.R. $ 292.304(c[l). However, PITRPA regulations also declare
that state commissions "may'' set standards or published rates at a higher capacity amount. lE C.F.R $
29230a@)Q-2). In February 2fi)8, the Commission established the eligibility cap for published avoided cost rates
for each of ths tbree utilities at l0 aMW. Order No. 30488 at 17.
' Because of the similarity betrreen each of the five Agreements, tre Commission found it reasonable and
appropriate to consolidate the cases and issue a consolidated Order. Order No. 32260 at n.l.
oRDERNO. 32419 3
nameplate capacity of 133.4 MW.4 Under normal and/or average conditions, each wind project
was to have sold its output of not more than l0 aI\,IW per month to Rocky Mountain at the
published rate. The projects all selected October l,2}l2 as the scheduled commeroial operation
date (COD). OrderNo. 32302 at 3.
On January 10, 2011, Rocky Mountain filed the Applications requesting that the
Commission issue an Order "accepting or rejecting" the five Cedar Creek PPAS. On Febnrary
24,2011, the Commission issued a consolidated Notice of Application and Notice of Modified
Procedure for the five Applications. Cedar Creek and Commission Statrfiled timely comments
in response to the Notice of Modified Procedure. Rocky Mountain and Cedar Creek both filed
reply cornments.
In its final Order No. 32260 issued June 8, 2011, the Commission declared that ..the
primary issue to be determined in these [Cedar Creek] cases is whether the Agreemmts were
executed before the eligibility cap for published rates was lowered to 100 kW on December 14,
2010-' Order No. 32260 at 9. The Commission found that the five PPAs were not fully-
executed (i.e., signed by botr parties) pTror to December 14,2A10. Relyrng on the actual terms
of the PPAs, ttre Commission found that each PPA stated that '1he 'Effective Date' of [each]
Agreement is 'after execution by bo.th Parties and after apBroval by the Commission.n" Id. ctting
PPA t[T 1.13,2.1. (emphasis added).5 Because the Commission had previously reduced the
eligibility cap for the published avoided cost rate from l0 aIvIW to 100 kW, the five ppAs
"contained an esselrtial term that was no longer available to the Projects." Order No. 32302 at 2.
Cedar Creek timely filed a Joint Petition for Reconsideration of the Commission's
final Order No. 32260. On reconsideration, Cedar Creek argued that the Commission's Order
was eroneous because a "legally enforceable obligation" existed between Cedar Creek and
Rocky Mountain prior to the reduction in the eligibility cap on December 14, 2010. As a result,
Cedar Creek maintained that it was entitled to published avoided cost rates and urged the
Commissionto "expeditiously approve the Agrcements as submitted." OrderNo. 32302 at 2.
'Ttre Applications for Rattlesnake Canyon, Coyote Hill and North Point indicated that each of these projocts would
have a-maximum nameplate capaclty of 27.6 MW, while Steep Ridge and Five Pine would each have a maximum
nameplate capacrty of25.3 MW.
t The commission also oblgrved that the opening paragraph of each Agreement states that the Agreement is"entored into ttris 22il day of December 2OlO.,; Id.
oRDERNO.32419 4
On reconside,ration, the Commission affirmed its prior decision that the five PPAs all
contained express language that the effective date of each Agreement is wtren both parties signed
the PPAs - December 22,2010. The Commission noted that it was undisputed that Cedar Creek
signed the PPAs on December 13, 2010, and Rocky Mountain signed on December 22,2010. Id.
Agreements llT 1.13, 2.1, Order No. 32302 at 4, 6,8. Given the agreed upon effective date, the
Commission affirmed that each Agreement did not become effective until after execution by
both Parties. Order No. 32302 at 9. The Commission also found that it is not in the public
interest to allow parties with contacts executed on or after Decetnber 14, 2010, to avail
themselves of an eligibility cap, and thus published rates, that are no longer ap,plicable. Order
No.32302 atlz,16.
D. The FERC Cose andtheAppeal
On August 5,2011, Cedar Creek filed a Petition with FERC requesting that the
federal agency bring an enforcement action against the Commission pursuant to 16 U.S.C. $
82aa-3(hX2) or, in the altemative, to make certain findings related to the Commission's decision.
Cedar Creek claimed that the Commission's Order is inconsistent wfth fERC's regulations
implernenting PLJRPA. On October 4,2011, FERC issued an Order declining to bring an
enforcement action against the Commission. However, FERC determined that the Commission's
Order was inconsistent with PURPA and FERC's implementing regulations. Notice of Intent not
to Act and Declaratory Order, 137 FERC tJ 61,006 (Oct.4,20ll). In particular, FERC
construed the Commission's final Order No. 32260 as "limiting the creation of a legally
enforceable obligation only to QFs that have [PPAs] . . . signed by both parties to the
agreement." Id. at'!|26, FERC interpreted the Commission's Order as requiring a fully-executed
contact as a condition preoedent to the crcation of a legally enforceable obligation between the
parties. Id. atffi 30, 35. Although this Commission has a long line of cases to the contrary,
FERC concluded ttrat the Commission did not recognize that *a legally enforceable obligation
may be incurred before the formal memorialization of a contract to witing.' Id. ar\36.
FERC did not rule whether Cedar Creek had perfected a legally enforceable
obligation for the five projects. Id. atffi 38 (whether there is a "legally enforceable obligation . ,
. is not beforc us."); 39. Given the issuance of the FERC Order and Cedar Creek's appeal to the
Idatro Supreme Court, Cedar Creek and the Commission filed a Stipulated Motion for the appeal
to be temporarily suspended and the mafier remanded to the Commission.
oRDER NO. 32419 5
THE, SETTLEMENT STIPTILATION
Cedar Creek, Rocky Mountain and Staff (collectively the "Parties') oonvened four
settlement conferences on October 20 and 27, November 16, and De,cember l,2}ll. As a result
of these settlement discussions, the Parties on December 15, 201l, filed a Motion to Approve the
Settlement Stipulation and Request for Approval of Power Purchase Ageements (the
'oSettlement Stipulation'). The Parties disclosed that they have resolved all disputes benreen and
among thernselves.
The Parties requested that the Commission modiry its Order on Reconsideration No.
32302 and approve tbree of the five original PPAs as amended in the Settlement Stipulation.
More specifically, the Parties requested that ttre Commission approve the amendments to the
North Point project (Case No. PAC-E-I l-03); the Five Pine project (Case No.'PAC-E-I l-05);
and the Coyote Hill project (Case No. PAC-E-I l-02) (together, the "Agreements'). In addition,
Cedar Creek and Rocky Mountain agreed to withdraw the remaining two Applications and
accompanying PPAs. Stipulation at $ 2.6
The Parties agreed that Cedar Creek had established a legally enforceable obligation
under PLJPJA no later than Decerrber 13, 2010. Stipulation at gg l, 4. Because zuch obligation
arose prior to Decomber 14, 2010, the Parties agree that the suniving PPAs should be approved
by the Commission at the avoided cost rates contained in the Original Agreements. /d. at $ 5.
Thus, Cedar Creek and Rocky Mountain are restored to their relative positions under the original
PPAs. The three surviving PPAS will have a combined nameplate capacrty not to exceed 133.4
MW and Rocky Mountain shall not be required to purchase more than 438,000 MWh (i.e.,
approximately 50 aIvIW) of output in any given calendar yar. Id at $ 7; PPAs at 1.30, 1.43,4.1.
The North Point PPA will be modified to have an 80 MW nameplate capacity, while the Five
Pine and Coyote Hill PPAs will have a total nameplate capacrty not to exceed 53.4 MW.
Stipulation, Exh.A, B, C.
Both the North Point and Five Pine PPAs provide that these PPAs may be assigned to
Ridgeline at its Meadow Creek site. /d at S 21.2. Because the Meadow Creek facility already
has its transrnission interconnestion with PacifiCorp, assignment to Ridgeline would allow the
scheduled commercial operation date (COD) for both facilities to be December 31, 2012.
I nr9 trro Applications and PPAs to be withdrawn are: the Steep Ridge project (Case No. PAC-E-I l{4) and the
Rattlesnake Canyon project (Case No. PAC-E-I l4l) (togetho, the "Withdravm Agrcements"). Stipulationat 2.
oRDER NO. 32419 6
Utilizing the Meadow Creek facility would allow Cedar Creelc/Ridgeline to obtain Treasury
gaots and other ta,r incentives before they are set to expire on December 31,2012. Any
assignment of North Point and Five Pine to Ridgeline must occur within 90 days of the effective
date of the PPAs as modifie{ approximately on or before March 31,2012. Exh. A, B, C $ 21.2.7
The Coyote Hill project is contanplated at the original Cedar Creek site.
In addition, the PPAs furttrer provide that Cedar Creek and Rocky Mountain shall
share the "Environmental Attributes" (including but not limited to rcnewable energy oredits
(RECs) and Gresn Tags) atfiibuted to the surviving PPAs. More specifically, Cedar Creek shall
be entifled to the environmental attibutes for the first 10 years of operation, while Rocky
Mountain shall be entitled to the environmental amibutes for the last 10 years of the 2O-year
Agreements: Exh. A, B, C at $$ 1.17, 1.26,4.6.
The Parties assert that the settlement of their dispute including the modifications of
the surviving PPAs represents a fair, just and reasonable resolution of the disputed claims, and
are consistent with applicable law and regulatory policies. Stipulation at $$ l, 6, 12. The Parties
furttrer maintain that the settlement represents a negotiated compromise between the Parties and
is in the public interest. The Parties agree that the Settlement Stipulation "resolves all issues
raised by any paffy in the captioned [Commission] dockets, in the FERC Proceeding, and in
Cedar Creek's appeal to the Idaho Supreme Cowt. If the Commission adopts the Settlement
Stipulation, each waives, releases and discharges the other Parties from any and all causes of
action, suits, claims, demands, and liability whatsoever in law or equity," Id at g l'1. The
Parties urge the Commission to approve this Settlement Stipulation and the PPAs in their entirety
and they stand ready to support the Stipulation. Id. at $ 13.
COM]VtrSSION IITNDINGS
At the outset, we commend the Parties for their diligence and efforts at resolving the
underlying disputes. Consistent with our authority under ldaho Code $ 6l-624 and Rules 352
and 353, we invited settlement of all of the disputes arising from our Order Nos. 32260 and
32302. OrderNo. 32386 at 2.
7 Although the Ridgeline/Ivleadow Creek tansmission line is already completed, this line may have Gapactty
limitations. Consequently, the PPAs allow for a combination of generation sizes at the Five Pine and Coyote Hill
projects so long as the total generation for all the projects not exceed 438,000 MWh. This purchase cap shall be
tued-up annually. Stipulation at $ 7.
ORDERNO, 32419 7
Rule 356 provides that the Commission is not bound by the Parties' Settlement
Agreement. IDAPA 31.01.01.356. The Commission will "independently review any settlement
proposed to it to determine whettrer the settlement is jus! fair and reasonable, in the public
intere.* or otherwise in accordance wirh law or regulatory policy." Id. The Commission rnay
accept rejecL or modifr settlement provisions. Moreover, proponents of settlements on appeal
carry the burden of showing that the settlement is reasonable and in the public interest. Rule
355. When a settlement of an appeal - such as this case - calls for Commission action, the
Commission will prescribe an appropriate procedure to examine a proposed settlement. In this
case, the Parties to the appeal have asked the Commission to amend Reconsideration Order No.
32302 issued July 27,2An, and approve three modified PPAs. Idaho Code g 61424 provides
that the Commission'tnay at any time, upon notice to the public utility affected, . . . rescind,
alter or amend any order or decision made by it."
After having reviewed the record in this case, the FERC Order, the Stipulation of
Settlement and Request for Approval of Power Purchase Agreements, and the modified ppAs,
we find the record is comprehensive and further proceedings are not necessary. Rule 354. Based
upor our review of the entire record and the particular facts of this case, we find that the
Settlement is fair, just and reasonable, aud in the public interest. As noted by the Parties, the
Stipulation represents a reasonable compromise of the positions held by the Parties.
In our initial decision, this Commission made a determination about whether to
approve the Agreements based on the express terms contained within each Agreement. In our
past experience, when a QF wants a determination that there is a legally enforceable obligation,
it files a complaint against a utility that it alleges has failed to negotiale. This is the first time the
Commission has reviewed the facts of this case for evidence regarding the existence of a legally
enforceable obligation outside the express terms of the original five Agreements entaed into by
Rocky Mountain and Cedar Creek.
There are several reasons supporting orn determination that the settlement is fair and
reasonable to Cedar Creek, Rocky MouutairU and ratepayers. First, the Stipulation rchrms Cedar
Creek and Rocky Mountain to their respective positions prior to the issuance of our Orders
disapproving the PPAs. Based upon the Parties' assertions in the Settlement Stipulation and our
review of the record, we find that the record reveals that Cedar Creek had perfected a legally
enforceable obligation no later than Deember 13, 2010. As such, Cedar Creek was entitled to
oRDERNO. 32419 8
the published avoided cost rates available to l0 aMW QFs in effect as of December 13,2010.
The three modified PPAs equate to the original five PPAs.
Second, PacifiCorp and ratepayerc are protected rmder the settlement and the three
modified PPAS by being obligated to purchase no more than the total equivalent of 50 alr,IW of
net output as originally contemplated under the five PPAs. Assignment also allows the COD
date to advance, thereby providing benefit to Cedar Crek.
Thir4 ratepayers and Rocky Mountain are firther advantaged because the modified
PPAs recognize that the envirorunental attributes produced by the three modified projects will be
equally apportioned between Rocky Mountain and Cedar Creek. Under the PPAs, Cedar Creek
will be entitled to the environmental attributes for the fust l0 years of the Agreements and
Rocky Mountain will be entitled to the environmental atfiibutes for the last 10 years of the
Agreements. This is an improvement over the original PPAs because the assignment of the
environmental attibutes or RECs was not clearly delineated in the original Agreements.
Moreover, subsequent revenues derived from the environmental attributes will offset Roclqy
Mountain's purchase of the output from the surviving PPAs over the last l0 years of the
Agreements.
Finally, we find that resolution of this matter will avoid uncertainty and conserve
resources (both time and money). This is benefisial to Cedax Creek, Rocky Mountain and
ratepayers. The settlement avoids the likelihood of litigation in multiple forums and represents a
significant benefit to all Parties. Here the settlerne,lrt brings the dispute to a reasonable
conclusion and benefits Cedar Creek, Rocky Mountain and ratepayers. Rules 354-355; Aguine
