Re: Supplemental Compliance Filing
Case No. IPC-E-23-11 – (Idaho Power Company’s 2023 General Rate Case)
Case No. IPC-E-23-14 – (Authority to Implement Changes to the
Compensation Structure Applicable to On-Site Generation)
Dear Commission Secretary:
On Friday, December 29, 2023, Idaho Power Company (“Idaho Power” or “Company”)
filed an initial Compliance Filing pursuant to Idaho Public Utilities Commission
(“Commission”) Order Nos. 36042 (IPC-E-23-11), 36048 (IPC-E-23-14), and 36036 (IPC-
E-23-28) with tariff sheets that would become effective January 1, 2024, in compliance
with those orders. At the time, the Company indicated it was still evaluating what
additional tariff modifications would be necessary to effectuate Order No. 36048 in Case
No. IPC-E-23-14 and intended to follow-up with a second compliance filing to that end.
Since then the Company has worked with Commission Staff to identify and incorporate
changes necessary to implement the directives mandated by the Commission in Order
No. 36048 relative to Schedules 6, 8, 68, and 84. In addition, as a result of its
comprehensive review of the other rules and schedules submitted by the Company with
the December 29th Compliance Filing, Staff recommended various grammatical and
clarifying edits to limit the potential for customer confusion, which the Company agrees
are necessary to help ensure customer understandability of the new tariff sheets.
Accordingly, in order to incorporate the directives from the relevant Commission
orders as well as the clarifying edits identified by Commission Staff in its review, the
Company respectfully makes this Second Supplemental Compliance Filing submitting
the following Rules and Tariff Schedules, to replace, in their entirety, the corresponding
sheets filed with the Company’s initial Compliance Filing dated December 29, 2023.
To assist the Commission and the Commission Staff in its review, the Company is
submitting “redlines” from the “clean” tariff sheets that were submitted on December 29,

RULE D
METERING
1. Meter Installations. The Company will install and maintain the metering equipment
required by the Company to measure power and energy supplied to the Customer. Meter installations
will be done at the Company's expense except as specified below or otherwise specified in a schedule.
Customer provisions for meter installations will be made in conformance with Company specifications,
the National Electrical Code, and/or applicable state or municipal requirements.
a. Instrument Transformer Metering. When instrument transformer metering is
requested by the Customer but not required by the Company at the time of the initial meter
installation, the Customer will be required to pay the cost of such metering equipment and its
installation in accordance with the charges specified in Schedule 66. When a Customer requests
instrument transformer metering not required by the Company at a time other than at the time of
the initial meter installation, work order costs will apply.
b. Load Profile Metering. The Company will install, at the Customer’s request, the
metering equipment necessary to provide load profile information. When Load Profile Metering
service is requested by the Customer but not provided by the Company as part of its standard meter
installation, the Customer will pay work order costs for the installation of all equipment required to
provide such service. The options available under Load Profile Metering service include: Pulse
Output Service, which provides limited kWh and kW load information; Load Profile Recording
Service, which downloads load characteristics and information on a delayed basis; and Enhanced
Metering Information Service, which provides real-time access to load characteristics and
information. Customers requesting that the Company provide Load Profile Metering service are
responsible for providing, at their own expense, a hard-wired or wireless connection to each
metering point, and all such connection equipment will be owned by the Customer unless the
configuration of metering equipment necessitates otherwise.
The Company shall not be liable to any Customer or any other persons for any loss or
damage incurred resulting from the supply or interruption of any Load Profile Metering service. The
Company does not warrant or guarantee the accuracy, reliability, validity or usability of the
information or data provided by its Load Profile Metering service, and Customers receiving any such
Load Profile Metering service voluntarily assume all responsibility and risk in use of such service’s
information or data.
c. Primary Voltage Metering. The Company will install, at its own expense, a
maximum of one primary voltage meter at a single Premises to record usage taken at 12.5 kV or 34.5 kV.
In all other circumstances, work order costs will apply.
2. Measurement of Energy. Except as otherwise specifically provided, all energy delivered by
the Company will be billed according to measurement by meters located at or near the Point of Delivery.
If the Company is unable to obtain a Customer's meter reading(s), the Company may estimate
the meter reading(s) for the Billing Period on the basis of the Customer's previous use, season of the
year and use by similar Customers of the same class in that service area. Bills rendered based on an
estimated monthly read, or when a Billing Period includes more than twenty-four unscaled hourly reads,
will be designated as estimated on the bill. The amount of such estimated bill will be subsequently
adjusted, when practicable, when the next actual reading is obtained.

(Continued)
3. Failure to Register. If the Company's meters fail to register at any time, the service delivered
and energy consumed during such period of failure will be determined by the Company on the basis of the
best available data. If any appliance or wiring connection, or any other device, is found on the Customer's
Premises which prevents the meters from accurately recording the total amount of energy used on the
Premises, the Company may at once remove any such wiring connection or appliance, or device, at the
Customer's expense, and will estimate the amount of energy so consumed and not registered as accurately
as it is able so to do, and the Customer will pay for any such energy within 5 days after being billed, in
accordance with such estimate.
4. Meter Tests. The Company will test and inspect its meters from time to time and maintain
their accuracy of registration in accordance with generally accepted practices and the rules and regulations
established by the Idaho Public Utilities Commission. The Company will, without charge, test the accuracy
of registration of a meter upon request of a Customer, provided that the Customer does not request such
a test more frequently than once in a 12-month period. If more than one requested test is performed within
a 12-month period, the Customer will be required to pay in advance the cost of a special meter test as
specified in Schedule 66. The Company will refund the amount paid by the Customer for the test if the
results of the test show the average registration error of the meter exceeds ±2 percent.
5. Transformer Losses. When delivery of service is on the primary side of the Customer's
transformers, the Company may install its meters on the secondary side of the transformers, and, unless
otherwise provided in the schedule, in determining the monthly consumption of power and energy,
transformer losses and other losses occurring between the Point of Delivery and the meters will be
computed and added to the reading of such meters.
6. Meter Reading. Meters will be read to the last kWh registered, normally at intervals of
approximately 30 days for monthly register reads and daily for hourly interval reads. In no case will the
meter reading interval exceed 45 days.

MASTER METERING STANDARDS
1. Definitions:
a. Tenant--Mobile Home Park. A tenant of a mobile home park is a person defined as
a resident and not a transient by the Manufactured Home Residency Act, Section 55-2001 et seq.,
Idaho Code, and in particular by Section 55-2003(16) and 55-2003(19), Idaho Code.
b. Tenant--Multi-Unit Residential or Commercial Building. A tenant of a multi-unit
residential building is a person who is not a transient and who intends to reside in or be a commercial
tenant in one of the building's units for a period of not less than one month.
2. Master-Metering and Individual Metering in Mobile Home Parks:
a. Master Metering Prohibited. Master-metering, whether or not in conjunction with
sub-metering of electric service by the park operator, is prohibited for any mobile home park
connected for service by the Company after July 1, 1980. After that date, tenants (excluding
transients) of mobile home parks must be individually metered and billed by the Company.
b. Exception for Sub-Metered Parks. Any mobile home park connected for service on
or before July 1, 1980, whose spaces for non-transient tenants have been fully sub-metered for
electricity by the park owners need not be individually metered by the Company. A mobile home
park sub-metered by the park operator must charge each of their tenants the same rate for electric
service that a Customer of the Company would be charged if the tenant were directly metered and
billed by the Company under Schedule 3 – Master-Metered Mobile Home Park – Residential
Service. Testing of sub-meters will be at the park operator's expense.
3. Master-Metering and Individual Metering in Multi-Occupant Residential Buildings. Non-
transient tenants of multi-occupant residential buildings connected for electric service after July 1,
1980, will be individually metered and billed by the Company if the dwelling units for such tenants
contain an electric space heating, water heating, or air-conditioning (space cooling) unit that is not
centrally controlled and for which said tenants individually control electric usage.
4. Master-Metering and Individual Metering in Commercial Buildings and Shopping Centers.
Commercial buildings and shopping centers connected for electric service after July 1, 1980, may
not be master-metered if the units for non-transient tenants contain an electric space heating, water
heating, or air-conditioning (space cooling) unit that is not centrally controlled and for which the
unit's tenants individually control electric usage. Any non-transient tenants in otherwise master-
metered buildings will be individually metered and billed by the Company if the tenant’s electric load
is significantly greater than that of the other tenants in the building or shopping center, or exceeds
the individual metering threshold found in the Company's Tariff.

SCHEDULE 6
RESIDENTIAL SERVICE
ON-SITE GENERATION
AVAILABILITY
Service under this schedule is available at points on the Company's interconnected system within
the State of Idaho where existing facilities of adequate capacity and desired phase and voltage are
adjacent to the location where Residential Service, On-Site Generation is desired, and where additional
investment by the Company for new transmission, substation or terminal facilities is not necessary to
supply the desired service. This service is available to Customers intending to operate Exporting Systems
to generate electricity to reduce all or part of the monthly energy usage.
Standard rates will be applicable unless a Customer elects time-of-use. Time-of-use is an
optional, voluntary service that provides Customers the option to take electric service with seasonal time-
of-use energy rates. If a Customer requests to participate in the optional time-of-use service, the
Customer will be placed on time-of-use under this schedule effective with their next billing cycle.
A Customer may terminate their participation in the time-of-use service at any time. However, the
Customer may not subsequently elect time-of-use service under this schedule for one year after the
effective date of cancellation. If a Customer requests to be taken off of time-of-use service under this
schedule, the Customer will be moved back to the default service under this schedule as of the last meter
read date.
Effective December 21, 2019, Schedule 6 is closed to new applications for Net Energy Metering.
APPLICABILITY
Service under this schedule is applicable to Electric Service required for residential service
Customers for general domestic uses, including single phase motors of 7½ horsepower rating or less,
subject to the following conditions:
1. When a portion of a dwelling is used regularly for business, professional or other gainful
purposes, or when service is supplied in whole or in part for business, professional, or other gainful
purposes, the Premises will be classified as non-residential and the appropriate General Service
Schedule will apply. However, if the wiring is so arranged that the service for residential purposes can
be metered separately, this schedule will be applied to such service.
2. Whenever the Customer's equipment does not conform to the Company's specifications
for service under this schedule, service will be supplied under the appropriate General Service Schedule.
3. This schedule is not applicable to standby service, service for resale, or shared service.
4. Customer owns and/or operates a Generation Facility fueled by solar, wind, biomass,
geothermal, hydropower or represents fuel cell technology, with a total nameplate capacity rating of 25

SECTION 3: ADDITIONAL INTERCONNECTION REQUIREMENTS OF NON-EXPORTING
SYSTEMS (Continued)
NON-EXPORT CONTROL SYSTEM (Continued)
a. Option 1: (“Advanced Functionality”): The use of an internal transfer relay, Energy
Management System, or other customer facility hardware or software system(s) may be used to
ensure power is never exported across the Interconnection Point. To ensure that Inadvertent
Export of power is limited to acceptable levels, all of the following conditions must be met: (a)
inverter-based DERs must utilize a Smart Inverter; (b) the DER must monitor the total Inadvertent
Export; (c) the DER must disconnect from the Company’s distribution system or halt energy
production within two seconds after the period of continuous Inadvertent Export exceeds 30
seconds; (d) the DER must enter a safe operating mode where Inadvertent Export will not occur
as a result of a failure of the control or Smart Inverter system for more than 30 seconds, which
results in loss of control signal, loss of control power or single component failure or related control
sensing of the control circuitry.
b. Option 2: (“Reverse Power Protection”): To ensure power is never exported, a
reverse power relay protective function must be implemented at the Interconnection Point. The
default setting for this Protection Equipment, when used, shall be 0.1% (export) of the DERs Total
Nameplate Capacity, with a maximum 2.0 second time delay.
c. Option 3: (“Minimum Power Protection”): To ensure at least a minimum amount of
power is imported at all times (and, therefore, that power is not exported), an under-power
protective function may be implemented at the Interconnection Point. The default setting for this
non-export control system, when used, shall be 5% (import) of the DERs Total Nameplate
Capacity, with a maximum two (2) second time delay.
2. Control System Failure: Where applicable, any failure of the Customer’s DER control
system for 30 seconds or more, which includes, but is not limited to; the internal transfer relay, energy
management system, or other Customer facility hardware or software system(s) intended to prevent the
reverse power flow, shall cause the Customer’s DER to enter a safe operating mode whereby the
production of energy from the Non-Export DER is autonomously limited to an amount that shall not
cause Inadvertent Export to occur until such time that the Customer has reestablished real power
output control of the non-export control system.
UNAUTHORIZED INADVERTENT EXPORT
Inadvertent Export exceeding three hours of the DER Total Nameplate Capacity in any 30-day
period will be defined as unauthorized Inadvertent Export, and the following steps will be followed for
Customers with Non-Exporting Systems:
1. The Company will notify the Non-Export Customer Generator that their Customer
Generator System has exceeded the Inadvertent Export limit.

Customer’s election, one of the following actions will occur:
i. The Customer Generator System disconnect will be placed in the open (off)
position until the issue that caused the export is remedied. A Company inspection will be
required before the Non-Exporting System can interconnect to the Company’s system; or,
ii. If the Customer does not elect to open the disconnect, the Customer
Generator will be placed on Schedule 6 or Schedule 8, as appropriate, and subject to
applicable provisions of Section 2. If the Customer elects to be placed on Schedule 6 or
Schedule 8, the Customer will be given the option to submit an additional application and
be moved back to Schedule 1 or Schedule 7, as appropriate, after 180 days.
b. For Schedules other than Schedule 1 or Schedule 7:
i. Upon receipt of the notification by Idaho Power that the Customer
Generator’s Non-Exporting System has exceeded the Inadvertent Export limit, the
Customer Generator System disconnect will be placed in the open position until the issue
that caused the export is remedied. A Company inspection will be required before the
Non-Exporting System can interconnect to the Company’s system.
3. If it is determined, at the sole discretion of the Company, that unauthorized Inadvertent
Export results in damage to equipment on the Company’s system, the Customer Generator will be
responsible for all costs associated with replacing the Company’s damaged equipment and defend,
indemnify, and reimburse the Company for liabilities or damages incurred by the Company for third-party

1. Customer Generator shall pay the actual costs of all required interconnection studies. Any
difference between the deposit (if required) and the actual cost of the study shall be paid by or refunded
to Customer Generator, as appropriate. If, during the course of preparing a study, the Company incurs
costs in excess of the deposit amount, the Company may require that the deposit amount be replenished
in an amount equal to the estimated costs for completion of the study. If a deposit amount sufficient to
pay for completion of the study is not maintained, the Company may suspend work on the study.
2. Unless modified by the provisions of this schedule, the FERC-approved Large Generator
Interconnection Procedures and Small Generator Interconnection Procedures posted on the Company’s
website will apply to the Customer Generator Interconnection Process.
3. Application. The Customer Generator will submit a completed interconnection application
in the form posted on the Company’s website. The application form includes a general description of the
DER and its location. The application includes payment of an application fee to be applied against costs
the Company incurs to perform the Feasibility Study described below. The amount of the application fee
is $1,000.
4. Study Agreements. Subsequent to the Customer Generator submitting an Application,
the Customer Generator will be offered a series of study agreements. The individual study agreements
establish the time to perform the study, and the deposit the Customer Generator is to provide prior to
commencement of the study. The studies consist of:
a. The Feasibility Study: The Feasibility Study is intended to ensure that the
Company’s system is sufficiently equipped to incorporate proposed DER in a manner that
conforms with good utility practices and the National Electric Safety Code. The Feasibility Study
Agreement states that no deposit is required because the application fee covers the deposit.
b. The System Impact Study: For higher complexity projects, the System Impact
Study provides a detailed assessment of the distribution and/or transmission system adequacy to
accommodate the DER through the evaluation of equipment capabilities and electrical
performance requirements. This step may not be necessary for some projects depending on the
size and location of the project. The System Impact Study Agreement includes a deposit of
$2,000 for a distribution system impact study or a $10,000 deposit for a transmission system
impact study.

c. The Facility Study: The Facility Study includes the engineering to determine the
design specifications of the project. The Facility Study Agreement includes a deposit of 5% of
the total project costs that were determined in the System Impact Study Report (“SISR”) or the
Feasibility Study Report if a SISR is not required, capped at $30,000.
At the end of each stage of the three-step study process, the Company will provide the Customer
Generator with an increasingly more refined and detailed report that, among other things, will present a
list of required Interconnection Facilities and a non-binding, good faith estimate of Customer Generator’s
cost responsibility for the Interconnection Facilities. If long-lead-time equipment items need to be ordered
to meet Customer Generator’s construction schedule, the Company will request advance funding by the
Customer Generator to cover these equipment costs.
5. Customer Generator Interconnection Agreement. The Customer Generator
Interconnection Agreement (“CGIA”), will be offered to the Customer Generator following completion of
the Study Phase. The CGIA will utilize the Uniform Customer Generator Interconnection Agreement
template included in this schedule.
INTERCONNECTION FACILITIES REQUIREMENTS
DER 3 MVA or greater Total Nameplate Capacity will require additional Company-Furnished
Protection, Metering, and communications Equipment. This equipment will be further defined in the CGIA
Attachment 1.
COST OF INTERCONNECTION FACILITIES
The Customer Generator will pay all costs of interconnecting a DER to the Company’s system.
Costs of interconnection include the costs of furnishing and constructing required Upgrades, which will
be determined pursuant to Rule H. To the extent that additional facilities not provided for under Rule H,
including transmission and/or substation facilities, are required to interconnect the requested Generation
Facility, special arrangements will be made in a separate agreement between the Customer Generator
and the Company.
Each request for interconnection will go through the Customer Generator Interconnection
Process. Throughout the Customer Generator Interconnection Process, the Company will periodically
bill the Customer Generator for engineering costs incurred or obligated. Failure to pay an invoice within
the time specified in the invoice will result in the suspension of work on the interconnection. Customer
Generator can end the Customer Generator Interconnection Process at any time. If Customer Generator
decides to end the Customer Generator Interconnection Process prior to completion, the Company will
either refund any monies held for security that have not been spent or obligated, or issue an invoice to
Customer Generator for costs incurred prior to cancellation.

1. Meter Installations. The Company will install and maintain the metering equipment
required by the Company to measure power and energy supplied to the Customer. Meter installations
will be done at the Company's expense except as specified below or otherwise specified in a schedule.
Customer provisions for meter installations will be made in conformance with Company specifications,
the National Electrical Code, and/or applicable state or municipal requirements.
a. Instrument Transformer Metering. When instrument transformer metering is
requested by the Customer but not required by the Company at the time of the initial meter
installation, the Customer will be required to pay the cost of such metering equipment and its
installation in accordance with the charges specified in Schedule 66. When a Customer requests
instrument transformer metering not required by the Company at a time other than at the time of
the initial meter installation, work order costs will apply.
b. Load Profile Metering. The Company will install, at the Customer’s request, the
metering equipment necessary to provide load profile information. When Load Profile Metering
service is requested by the Customer but not provided by the Company as part of its standard meter
installation, the Customer will pay work order costs for the installation of all equipment required to
provide such service. The options available under Load Profile Metering service include: Pulse
Output Service, which provides limited kWh and kW load information; Load Profile Recording
Service, which downloads load characteristics and information on a delayed basis; and Enhanced
Metering Information Service, which provides real-time access to load characteristics and
information. Customers requesting that the Company provide Load Profile Metering service are
responsible for providing, at their own expense, a hard-wired or wireless connection to each
metering point, and all such connection equipment will be owned by the Customer unless the
configuration of metering equipment necessitates otherwise.
The Company shall not be liable to any Customer or any other persons for any loss or
damage incurred resulting from the supply or interruption of any Load Profile Metering service. The
Company does not warrant or guarantee the accuracy, reliability, validity or usability of the
information or data provided by its Load Profile Metering service, and Customers receiving any such
Load Profile Metering service voluntarily assume all responsibility and risk in use of such service’s
information or data.
c. Primary Voltage Metering. The Company will install, at its own expense, a
maximum of one primary voltage meter at a single Premises to record usage taken at 12.5 kV or 34.5 kV.
In all other circumstances, work order costs will apply.
2. Measurement of Energy. Except as otherwise specifically provided, all energy delivered by
the Company will be billed according to measurement by meters located at or near the Point of Delivery.
If the Company is unable to obtain a Customer's meter reading(s), the Company may estimate
the meter reading(s) for the Billing Period on the basis of the Customer's previous use, season of the
year and use by similar Customers of the same class in that service area. Bills rendered based on an
estimated monthly read, or when a Billing Period includes more than twenty-four unscaled hourly reads,
will be designated as estimated on the bill. The amount of such estimated bill will be subsequently
adjusted, when practicable, when the next actual reading is obtained.

3. Failure to Register. If the Company's meters fail to register at any time, the service delivered
and energy consumed during such period of failure will be determined by the Company on the basis of the
best available data. If any appliance or wiring connection, or any other device, is found on the Customer's
Premises which prevents the meters from accurately recording the total amount of energy used on the
Premises, the Company may at once remove any such wiring connection or appliance, or device, at the
Customer's expense, and will estimate the amount of energy so consumed and not registered as accurately
as it is able so to do, and the Customer will pay for any such energy within 5 days after being billed, in
accordance with such estimate.
4. Meter Tests. The Company will test and inspect its meters from time to time and maintain
their accuracy of registration in accordance with generally accepted practices and the rules and regulations
established by the Idaho Public Utilities Commission. The Company will, without charge, test the accuracy
of registration of a meter upon request of a Customer, provided that the Customer does not request such
a test more frequently than once in a 12-month period. If more than one requested test is performed within
a 12-month period, the Customer will be required to pay in advance the cost of a special meter test as
specified in Schedule 66. The Company will refund the amount paid by the Customer for the test if the
results of the test show the average registration error of the meter exceeds ±2 percent.
5. Transformer Losses. When delivery of service is on the primary side of the Customer's
transformers, the Company may install its meters on the secondary side of the transformers, and, unless
otherwise provided in the schedule, in determining the monthly consumption of power and energy,
transformer losses and other losses occurring between the Point of Delivery and the meters will be
computed and added to the reading of such meters.
6. Meter Reading. Meters will be read to the last kWh registered, normally at intervals of
approximately 30 days for monthly register reads and daily for hourly interval reads. In no case will the
meter reading interval exceed 45 days.

2. Master-Metering and Individual Metering in Mobile Home Parks:
a. Master Metering Prohibited. Master-metering, whether or not in conjunction with
sub-metering of electric service by the park operator, is prohibited for any mobile home park
connected for service by the Company after July 1, 1980. After that date, tenants (excluding
transients) of mobile home parks must be individually metered and billed by the Company.
b. Exception for Sub-Metered Parks. Any mobile home park connected for service on
or before July 1, 1980, whose spaces for non-transient tenants have been fully sub-metered for
electricity by the park owners need not be individually metered by the Company. A mobile home
park sub-metered by the park operator must charge each of their tenants the same rate for electric
service that a Customer of the Company would be charged if the tenant were directly metered and
billed by the Company under Schedule 3 – Master-Metered Mobile Home Park – Residential
Service. Testing of sub-meters will be at the park operator's expense.
3. Master-Metering and Individual Metering in Multi-Occupant Residential Buildings. Non-
transient tenants of multi-occupant residential buildings connected for electric service after July 1,
1980, will be individually metered and billed by the Company if the dwelling units for such tenants
contain an electric space heating, water heating, or air-conditioning (space cooling) unit that is not
centrally controlled and for which said tenants individually control electric usage.
4. Master-Metering and Individual Metering in Commercial Buildings and Shopping Centers.
Commercial buildings and shopping centers connected for electric service after July 1, 1980, may
not be master-metered if the units for non-transient tenants contain an electric space heating, water
heating, or air-conditioning (space cooling) unit that is not centrally controlled and for which the
unit's tenants individually control electric usage. Any non-transient tenants in otherwise master-
metered buildings will be individually metered and billed by the Company if the tenant’s electric load
is significantly greater than that of the other tenants in the building or shopping center, or exceeds
the individual metering threshold found in the Company's Tariff.

AVAILABILITY
Service under this schedule is available at points on the Company's interconnected system within
the State of Idaho where existing facilities of adequate capacity and desired phase and voltage are
adjacent to the location where Residential Service, On-Site Generation is desired, and where additional
investment by the Company for new transmission, substation or terminal facilities is not necessary to
supply the desired service. This service is available to Customers intending to operate Exporting Systems
to generate electricity to reduce all or part of the monthly energy usage.
Standard rates will be applicable unless a Customer elects time-of-use. Time-of-use is an
optional, voluntary service that provides Customers the option to take electric service with seasonal time-
of-use energy rates. If a Customer requests to participate in the optional time-of-use service, the
Customer will be placed on time-of-use under this schedule effective with their next billing cycle.
A Customer may terminate their participation in the time-of-use service at any time. However, the
Customer may not subsequently elect time-of-use service under this schedule for one year after the
effective date of cancellation. If a Customer requests to be taken off of time-of-use service under this

SPECULATIVE HIGH-DENSITY LOAD
AVAILABILITY
Service under this schedule is available at points on the Company's interconnected system within
the State of Idaho where existing facilities of adequate capacity and desired phase and voltage are
available. If additional distribution facilities are required to supply the desired service, those facilities
provided for under Rule H will be provided under the terms and conditions of that rule. To the extent that
additional facilities not provided for under Rule H, including transmission and/or substation facilities, are
required to provide the requested service, special arrangements will be made in a separate agreement
between the Customer and the Company.
APPLICABILITY
Service under this schedule is applicable to electric service supplied to a Customer at one Point
of Delivery and measured through one meter delivered at the primary or transmission service level. This
schedule is applicable to Customers whose metered energy usage exceeds 2,000 kWh per Billing Period
for a minimum of three Billing Periods during the most recent 12 consecutive Billing Periods. Where the
Customer’s Billing Period is less than 27 days or greater than 36 days, the metered energy usage will be
prorated to 30 days for purposes of determining eligibility under this schedule.
Applicable Speculative High-Density Load Large Power Service Rates are mandatory for
Customers who register a metered Demand of 1,000 kW or more per Billing Period for three or more
Billing Periods during the most recent 12 consecutive Billing Periods.
Customers whose metered Demand per Billing Period has not equaled or exceeded 1,000 kW
more than twice during the most recent 12 consecutive Billing Periods will take service under applicable
Speculative High-Density Load Large General Service rates.
At their expense, Customers may request to establish an additional circuit for building systems
independent of the commercial operational load, such as lighting, climate control, among others, at a
separate Point of Delivery. This additional circuit will be separately metered and billed under the
applicable rate schedule. The Customer will be responsible for the costs associated with installing the
second meter. The Company may refuse to provide service at more than one Point of Delivery at the
same Premises if it is determined by the Company that the additional Point of Delivery cannot be provided
without jeopardizing the safety and reliability of the Company's system or service to the Customer or to
other Customers. Service provided to a Customer at multiple Points of Delivery at the same Premises
will not be interconnected electrically.
This schedule is not applicable to service for resale, to shared or irrigation service, to standby or
supplemental service, unless the Customer has entered into a Uniform Standby Service Agreement or
other standby agreement with the Company, or to multi-family dwellings.

(Continued)
SECTION 3: ADDITIONAL INTERCONNECTION REQUIREMENTS OF NON-EXPORTING
SYSTEMS (Continued)
NON-EXPORT CONTROL SYSTEM (Continued)
a.Option 1: (“Advanced Functionality”): The use of an internal transfer relay, Energy
Management System, or other customer facility hardware or software system(s) may be used to
ensure power is never exported across the Interconnection Point. To ensure that Inadvertent
Export of power is limited to acceptable levels, all of the following conditions must be met: (a)
inverter-based DERs must utilize a Smart Inverter; (b) the DER must monitor the total Inadvertent
Export; (c) the DER must disconnect from the Company’s distribution system or halt energy
production within two seconds after the period of continuous Inadvertent Export exceeds 30
seconds; (d) the DER must enter a safe operating mode where Inadvertent Export will not occur
as a result of a failure of the control or Smart Inverter system for more than 30 seconds, which
results in loss of control signal, loss of control power or single component failure or related control
sensing of the control circuitry.
b. Option 2: (“Reverse Power Protection”): To ensure power is never exported, a
reverse power relay protective function must be implemented at the Interconnection Point. The
default setting for this Protection Equipment, when used, shall be 0.1% (export) of the DERs Total
Nameplate Capacity, with a maximum 2.0 second time delay.
c.Option 3: (“Minimum Power Protection”): To ensure at least a minimum amount of
power is imported at all times (and, therefore, that power is not exported), an under-power
protective function may be implemented at the Interconnection Point. The default setting for this
non-export control system, when used, shall be 5% (import) of the DERs Total Nameplate
Capacity, with a maximum two (2) second time delay.
2.Control System Failure: Where applicable, any failure of the Customer’s DER control
system for 30 seconds or more, which includes, but is not limited to; the internal transfer relay, energy
management system, or other Customer facility hardware or software system(s) intended to prevent the
reverse power flow, shall cause the Customer’s DER to enter a safe operating mode whereby the
production of energy from the Non-Export DER is autonomously limited to an amount that shall not
cause Inadvertent Export to occur until such time that the Customer has reestablished real power
output control of the non-export control system.
UNAUTHORIZED INADVERTENT EXPORT
Inadvertent Export exceeding three hours of the DER Total Nameplate Capacity in any 30-day
period will be defined as unauthorized Inadvertent Export, and the following steps will be followed for
Customers with Non-Exporting Systems:
1.The Company will notify the Non-Export Customer Generator that their Customer
Generator System has exceeded the Inadvertent Export limit.

Systems, the Customer Generator must rectify Inadvertent Export within 30 days after receipt of
the notification by Idaho Power that the Non-Exporting System has exceeded the Inadvertent
Export limit. If the Customer Generator has not rectified Inadvertent Export after 30 days, at the
Customer’s election, one of the following actions will occur:
i.The Customer Generator System disconnect will be placed in the open (off)
position until the issue that caused the export is remedied. A Company inspection will be
required before the Non-Exporting System can interconnect to the Company’s system; or,
ii. If the Customer does not elect to open the disconnect, the Customer
Generator will be placed on Schedule 6 or Schedule 8, as appropriate, and subject to
applicable provisions of Section 2. If the Customer elects to be placed on Schedule 6 or
Schedule 8, the Customer will be given the option to submit an additional application and
be moved back to Schedule 1 or Schedule 7, as appropriate, after 180 days.
b.For Schedules other than Schedule 1 or Schedule 7:
i.Upon receipt of the notification by Idaho Power that the Customer
Generator’s Non-Exporting System has exceeded the Inadvertent Export limit, the
Customer Generator System disconnect will be placed in the open position until the issue
that caused the export is remedied. A Company inspection will be required before the
Non-Exporting System can interconnect to the Company’s system.
3.If it is determined, at the sole discretion of the Company, that unauthorized Inadvertent
Export results in damage to equipment on the Company’s system, the Customer Generator will be
responsible for all costs associated with replacing the Company’s damaged equipment and defend,
indemnify, and reimburse the Company for liabilities or damages incurred by the Company for third-party
claims arising out of the Customer Generator’s unauthorized Inadvertent Export.

the Company incurs to perform the Feasibility Study described below. The amount of the application fee
is $1,000.
4.Study Agreements. Subsequent to the Customer Generator submitting an Application,
the Customer Generator will be offered a series of study agreements. The individual study agreements
establish the time to perform the study, and the deposit the Customer Generator is to provide prior to
commencement of the study. The studies consist of:
a.The Feasibility Study: The Feasibility Study is intended to ensure that the
Company’s system is sufficiently equipped to incorporate proposed DER in a manner that
conforms with good utility practices and the National Electric Safety Code. The Feasibility Study
Agreement states that no deposit is required because the application fee covers the deposit.
b.The System Impact Study: For higher complexity projects, the System Impact
Study provides a detailed assessment of the distribution and/or transmission system adequacy to
accommodate the DER through the evaluation of equipment capabilities and electrical
performance requirements. This step may not be necessary for some projects depending on the
size and location of the project. The System Impact Study Agreement includes a deposit of
