CASE NO. IPC-E-22-30
APPLICATION
Idaho Power Company (“Idaho Power” or “Company”) respectfully applies to the
Idaho Public Utilities Commission (“Commission”) pursuant to Idaho Code § 61-502,
Commission Rule of Procedure1 52, and Order No. 35550,2 for an order to either: (1)
establish interruption compensation for Schedule 20 – Speculative High-Density Load
(“Schedule 20”) of $0.0734 per kilowatt (“kW”) per hour of interruption for Large General
Service Rates, and $0.0835 per kW per hour of interruption for Large Power Service
1 Hereinafter cited as RP.
2 In the Matter of the Application of Idaho Power Company for Authority to Establish New Schedule to
Serve Speculative High-Density Load Customers, Case No. IPC-E-21-37, Order No. 35550, p. 23 (Oct. 5,
2022).
APPLICATION - 2
Rates, or alternatively, (2) defer implementation of any compensation structure for the
mandatory interruption requirement of Schedule 20 until evaluation of cost assignment
responsibility for Schedule 20 is completed at a general rate case.
In support of this Application Idaho Power represents as follows:
I INTRODUCTION
1. Schedule 20 provides, in pertinent part, that Idaho Power can interrupt
service during high-demand times in the summer to alleviate the strain placed on the
system by HDL customers. In accordance with the Commission’s directive in Order No.
35550, the Company seeks a determination by the Commission of a fair, just, and
reasonable amount of compensation, if any, for interruptibility under Schedule 20.
2. As explained in the preceding case3 and more fully described herein, Idaho
Power is concerned that direct compensation offered to Schedule 20 customers for
mandatory interruption may not represent the best method of recognizing the economic
value that may exist when load interruption of Schedule 20 customers serves to relieve
the strain on Idaho Power’s system, a strain caused in part by this class’s own potential
for significant on-peak consumption of energy. Additionally, until cost assignment reflects
system utilization by Schedule 20 as evaluated during a general rate case, there is risk
that interruption compensation may over-compensate for any system benefits derived
from that interruption.
If the Commission, nevertheless, determines it is appropriate to compensate
Schedule 20 customers for mandatory interruption prior to evaluation of cost assignment
at a general rate case, the Company proposes any interim interruption compensation be
reflective of the same cost basis currently included in Schedule 20 rates. Because
3 Case No. IPC-E-21-37.
APPLICATION - 3
Schedule 20 interruption parameters were determined to address the need for a peaking
resource, the existing cost of a peak-load service resource reflected in Schedule 9 and
19 rates could serve as an appropriate interim basis for interruption compensation. That
is, the Company believes that an appropriate interim compensation structure for Schedule
20 would be to allow Schedule 20 customers to avoid some, or all, of the base rate
charges intended to recover the cost of the Company’s peak-serving resources based on
the timing and frequency of interruption.
3. If the Commission determines that interim direct interruption compensation
is appropriate, the Company further proposes interruption compensation costs be
recoverable as a power supply expense through the Power Cost Adjustment (“PCA”) at
100 percent, similar to incentives paid to customers under Idaho Power’s demand
response programs. It should be noted that because the PCA does not apply to energy
sales under Schedule 20, a Schedule 20 customer will avoid paying the cost of those
incentives, which will otherwise be borne by the broader customer base.
4. As recommended by Staff,4 and adopted by the Commission,5 the Company
agreed that evaluation and comparison of methods other than Demand-Side
Management Avoided Cost Averages for setting the Schedule 20 energy rates should be
completed prior to filing the Company’s next general rate case. This evaluation is critical
to ensure that referenced marginal prices best reflect costs the Company is actually
incurring and are recovered through the PCA, which would not be collectable from
Schedule 20 as the PCA rate does not apply to Schedule 20 energy sales. Idaho Power
looks forward to beginning those discussions with Staff in the next few months.

II BACKGROUND
5. In the summer of 2021, Idaho Power received inquiries from cryptocurrency
mining operations reflecting prospective customer interest of approximately 1,950
megawatts (“MW”). Subsequently, on November 4, 2021, Idaho Power filed an application
to establish a new customer classification applicable to customers operating in a
speculative industry and approval of a new rate schedule, Schedule 20, to serve these
customers.
6. The Company’s application was prompted by the recognition that if even a
fraction of the prospective customer interest from cryptocurrency mining operations
ultimately interconnected to Idaho Power’s system, the additional load would exceed the
Company’s ability to serve total system load during the summer season without additional
investment in capacity resources.6
7. The Company was also concerned with the risk that potential future
investment in capacity resources to meet Schedule 20 customer demand may ultimately
become stranded when the economics of cryptocurrency mining changed, which would
result in a cost-shift to all Idaho Power customers. To mitigate that risk while meeting its
obligation to reliably serve all customers, the Company proposed to implement Schedule
20, which includes a requirement for mandatory interruption at Idaho Power’s discretion
under the following parameters:
June 15 through September 15
1:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding Holidays
Maximum ten (10) hours per interruption event
Up to 225 hours annually
6 Id., Application, p. 1 (Nov. 4, 2021).
APPLICATION - 5
8. The Commission approved the Company’s Application as filed on June 15,
2022, under Order No. 35428. A Petition for Reconsideration subsequently filed by
GeoBitmine LLC, was ultimately denied on October 5, 2022, when the Commission
issued Order No. 35550 affirming their approval of the creation of Schedule 20.
9. While the Commission found the record sufficient to support the
interruptibility component of Schedule 20, it did not believe it had sufficient evidence to
determine if compensation for mandatory interruption is required.7 As a result, the
Commission found that “the use of Schedule’s 20 interruptability provision is conditioned
on a subsequent Commission determination of an amount, if any, that is fair, just, and
reasonable,”8 and therefore directed Idaho Power “to apply to the Commission for a
determination of a fair, just, and reasonable amount of compensation, if any, for
interruptability under Schedule 20.”9
10. Pursuant to the Commission’s mandate, the Company is proposing an
interruptibility compensation recommendation for the Commission’s consideration. The
Company is also proposing an alternative for the Commission’s consideration:
Section IV provides the primary recommendation, which, in recognition of
the existing costs recovered in Schedule 20’s current rates and consistent
with Schedule 20 parameters designed to avoid the cost of a peaking
resource, offers interruption compensation at the value of avoiding the
embedded peak-load service resource costs currently included in the rates
for Schedule 9 – Large General Service, and Schedule 19 – Large Power
Service, which serve as the basis for Schedule 20 rates.
7 Order No. 35550, p. 22.
8 Id., p. 22-23.
9 Id., p. 23.
APPLICATION - 6
In the alternative, Section III below discusses an approach where
compensation for interruption would not be immediately provided, rather
evaluated at a future general rate case. This approach recognizes that
compensation is best determined in the future once full cost assignment for
Schedule 20’s utilization of Idaho Power’s system is reflected in Schedule
20 rates.
III. SYSTEM COST EVALUATION PRECEDES
INTERRUPTION COMPENSATION
11. The circumstances that drove the need and purpose of the interruptibility
provisions within Schedule 20 warrant separate and distinct consideration from the
compensation method applied to the Company’s current demand response programs to
avoid inappropriate over-compensation for Schedule 20 customers. Idaho Power offers
three demand response programs to Residential, Commercial & Industrial, and Irrigation
customers under Schedule 81 – Residential Air Conditioner Cycling Program, Schedule
82 - Flex Peak Program, and Schedule 23 – Irrigation Peak Rewards Program. The three
demand response programs are voluntary offerings and compensate customers for actual
or nominated customer load curtailment.
12. To prevent double crediting for customer load curtailment, when cost
assignment is completed for demand response participating customer classes, the first
step in the process is to remove the impact of any demand response event from the
customer class’s load characteristics. This step is necessary to first recognize full cost
assignment in the respective customer class’s electric service rates. Otherwise, without
full cost assignment, a customer class will receive load curtailment credit twice, first in
reduced cost assignment from lower load characteristics net of the demand response
event, and second in the incentive payment for load interruption. The value of load
APPLICATION - 7
curtailment must only be recognized once, either in reduced cost assignment, or incentive
payment for load curtailment.
13. As of the date of this Application, there are no Schedule 20 customers on
Idaho Power’s system. Schedule 20 retail rates were developed from the underlying
Schedule 9 and Schedule 19 retail rates which would otherwise have been applicable
absent the creation of Schedule 20. Schedule 9 and Schedule 19 rates were subject to
adjustment for demand response events at the time cost assignment was completed,
however, the load characteristics of Schedule 20 customers are likely to differ from either
Schedule 9 or 19.
14. High load factor is one of the qualifying criteria for service under Schedule
20. For the purposes of administrating the tariff, the Company considers a threshold of
85 percent or greater annually to meet this criterion.10 Typical cryptocurrency mining
operations must optimize computer processing uptime and generally operate exceeding
90 percent load factor, many at 95 percent or greater load factor. Table 1 below lists the
load factor of the underlying Schedule 9 and 19 customer classes which are the current
basis of Schedule 20 rates. Schedule 20 customers are likely to operate at load factors
well above those of either Schedule 9 or 19, and it is important to recognize that energy
comprises approximately 40 percent of a customer class’s cost assignment responsibility.
Table 1. Idaho Large Commercial and Industrial Class Average Load Factor
2021 2020 2019 2018 2017
I09P 63.7% 59.3% 60.2% 61.5% 60.1%
I09T 34.2% 32.4% 36.4% 32.2% 32.5%
I19P 82.1% 81.2% 80.8% 81.0% 81.2%
I19T 79.0% 78.5% 81.9% 81.8% 82.7%
10 Case No. IPC-E-21-37, Idaho Power Company’s Comments on Reconsideration, p. 7.
APPLICATION - 8
15. As load factor increases, it is probable a customer class with 95 percent
load factor will have higher coincidence to Idaho Power’s system peak than classes
operating at lower load factors. Should Schedule 20, operating at load factors above
Schedule 9 and 19, have coincidence to Idaho Power’s peak above Schedule 9 or 19,
this would result in higher cost assignment for Schedule 20. Coincidence to system peak
is responsible for approximately one-third of a customer class’s cost assignment
responsibility. There is likelihood that both energy use and coincidence to system peak
of Schedule 20 exceeds Schedule 9 and 19, two system utilization statistics which
comprise nearly 75 percent of class cost assignment.
16. Based on the foregoing factors, Idaho Power offers an alternative
recommendation to the Commission such that compensation for the mandatory
interruption requirement of Schedule 20 is determined once Schedule 20 customers are
part of Idaho Power’s system, and evaluation of cost assignment responsibility for
Schedule 20 is completed at a general rate case. This limits the potential that all Idaho
Power customers over-compensate Schedule 20 customers for interruption when the
electric service rates of Schedule 20 do not yet fully reflect the class’s system utilization.
Idaho Power would evaluate the statistical characteristics of a future Schedule 20 cohort,
such as, but not limited to, a coefficient of variation being one or less, once Schedule 20
customers are part of the system. This will ensure the Company can validate the count
and magnitude of customers to ensure it is sufficient to complete class cost assignment
at a general rate case.
APPLICATION - 9
IV. INTERRUPTION COMPENSATION IN RECOGNITION OF
CURRENT COSTS EMBEDDED IN RATES
17. If the Commission determines it is appropriate to compensate Schedule 20
customers for mandatory interruption prior to evaluation of cost assignment at a general
rate case, the Company proposes interruption compensation should be based on the
same cost basis as what is included in Schedule 20 rates today. As Schedule 20
interruption parameters were determined to address the need for a peaking resource, the
existing cost of a peak-load service resource in Schedule 9 and 19 rates is the appropriate
basis for interruption compensation. That is, the Company believes that an appropriate
interim compensation structure for Schedule 20 would be to allow Schedule 20 customers
to avoid some, or all, of the base rate charges intended to recover the cost of the
Company’s peak-serving resources based on the timing and frequency of interruption.
18. Idaho Power evaluated the cost-of-service cost assignment for peak-load
functionalized costs under Schedule 9 and 19 at the time of the 2011 general rate case
and adjusted that cost assignment on a per kW basis for all subsequent revenue
requirement filings which resulted in an increase or decrease to capacity-classified
generation plant costs. For Schedule 9, embedded in existing rates is recovery of $16.51
per kW annually for the cost of peak-load functionalized costs, and for Schedule 19 this
amount is $18.79 per kW annually.
19. Schedule 20 interruption parameters include the potential for up to 225
hours of annual interruption. Interruption compensation is determined by dividing the
annual peak load functionalized per kW cost by the total potential hours of interruption.
For each hour of interruption, compensation for Schedule 20 Large General Service
customers, rates developed from Schedule 9 rates, are proposed to be compensated
$0.0734 per kW per hour of interruption ($16.51 divided by 225 hours). For Schedule 20
APPLICATION - 10
Large Power Service customers, rates developed from Schedule 19 rates, are proposed
to be compensated $0.0835 per kW per hour of interruption ($18.79 divided by 225
hours). Attachment 1 to this Application is the work paper supporting the calculation of
interruption compensation rates. At the full 225 hours of interruption, the compensation
offered to Schedule 20 customers would represent approximately 25 percent of the
annual collections from the schedule’s Billing Demand charge and Basic Load Capacity
charge. Attachment 2 to this Application is the revised Schedule 20 tariff if interruption
compensation is included.
20. Measurement of load reductions from interruption events would follow a
similar basis as the Company’s existing methodology utilized for the Flex Peak Program.
This includes developing a baseline measurement of the highest three energy usage days
from a 10-day period, as well as a Day-of-Adjustment (“DOA”) determination to arrive at
an adjusted baseline. The DOA is necessary to address situations where load is lower or
higher than it has historically been, and the baseline does not accurately reflect the load
behavior immediately prior to the knowledge of an interruption event.
V. COMMUNICATIONS AND SERVICE OF PLEADINGS
21. While the Company is not aware of any existing customers who would
qualify for Schedule 20, this Application will be brought to the attention of prospective
Schedule 20 customers seeking to site in Idaho Power’s service area as requests for
service are received. Additionally, Idaho Power has served the three entities that
participated in Case No. IPC-E-21-37 with a copy of this Application. Idaho Power will
also keep its Application open for public inspection at its offices throughout the state of
Idaho. Idaho Power believes these efforts will provide appropriate notice to ventures
likely to be impacted by the Company’s Application; however, the Company will, in the
APPLICATION - 11
alternative, bring the Application to the attention of its affected customers through any
other means directed by this Commission.
22. Communications and service of pleadings with reference to this Application
should be sent to the following:

VI. MODIFIED PROCEDURE
23. Idaho Power believes that it would be appropriate to process this case by
means of Modified Procedure (i.e., by written submissions rather than by hearing) in
accordance with the provisions of RP 201-210 et seq.
VII. CONCLUSION
24. Idaho Power respectfully requests that the Commission issue an order prior
to the start of the June 15 – September 15 interruption period either: (1) establishing
interruption compensation for Schedule 20 of $0.0734 per kW per hour of interruption for
Large General Service Rates, and $0.0835 per kW per hour of interruption for Large
Power Service Rates, or alternatively, (2) defer approving a compensation structure for
the mandatory interruption requirement of Schedule 20 until evaluation of cost
assignment responsibility for Schedule 20 is completed at a general rate case.

Issued per Order No. Timothy E. Tatum, Vice President, Regulatory Affairs
Effective – 1221 West Idaho Street, Boise, Idaho
SCHEDULE 20
SPECULATIVE HIGH-DENSITY LOAD
(Continued)
INTERRUPTION COMPENSATION
Fixed Capacity Reduction Rate:
Large General Service Rates $0.0734 per kilowatt of reduction per event hour
Large Power Service Rates $0.0835 per kilowatt of reduction per event hour
DEFINITIONS
Actual kW Reduction. The kilowatt (kW) reduction during an Interruption Event, which is the
difference between a Participant’s hourly average kW measured at the Facility Site’s meter and the
corresponding hour of the Adjusted Baseline kW.
Adjusted Baseline kW. The Original Baseline kW plus or minus the “Day of” Load Adjustment
amount.
“Day of” Load Adjustment. The difference between the Original Baseline kW and the actual
metered kW during the hour prior to the Participant receiving notification of an event. Scalar values will
be calculated by dividing the Original Baseline kW for each Interruption Event hour by the Baseline kW
of the hour preceding the event notification time. The scalars are multiplied by the actual event day kW
for the hour preceding the event notification time to create the Adjusted Baseline kW from which load
reduction is measured. The Adjusted Baseline kW for each hour will be capped at 120% of the maximum
kW amount for any hour from the Highest Energy Use Days or the hours during the event day prior to
event notification.
Facility Site(s). All of a Participant’s facility or equipment that is metered from a single service
location that a Participant has taken service under Schedule 20.
Highest Energy Usage Days. The three days out of the immediate past 10 non-event Business
Days that have the highest sum total kW as measured across the Interruption Event daily parameters.
Interruption Compensation. The Actual kW Reduction for each hour multiplied by the Fixed
Capacity Reduction Rate. Participants are paid based on the average event kilowatt reduction.
Load Control Device. Refers to any technology, device, or system utilized under Schedule 20 to
enable the Company to initiate the Interruption Event.
Interruption Event. Refers to an event where the Company requests or calls for interruption of
specific loads with the use of one or more Load Control Devices.
Original Baseline kW. The arithmetic mean (average) kW of the Highest Energy Usage Days
during the Interruption Event daily parameters, calculated for each Facility Site for each hour.
