METHODOLOGIES FOR CALCULATING AVOIDED COST RATES.
Dear Ms. Jewell;
Please find enclosed for filing an original and (3) three copies of Rocky Mountain Power's
annual compliance filing to update the model inputs for the IRP avoided cost calculation,
provided as Appendix A. Pursuant to Commission Order 32697 utilities must provide annual
updates for fuel prices, load forecasts, and changes to long term contracts for purchases or sales
and any new or expiring QF contracts.
The Company's current long term load forecast, prepared in June 2013, was prepared with the
same methodology as the forecast used in the IRP, with a refinement to the forecasted
commercial usage. Appendix A provides the July 2012 andJune 2013 load forecast summarized
annually by jurisdiction. The long term load forecast used in the 2013 IRP was prepared in July
2012 and is provided for reference only.
The Company's Official Forward Price Curve was prepared September 30, 2013 ("1309
OFPC"). The natural gas forecast used in the 2013 IRP was prepared September 28,2012 andis
referred to as the Company's September 2012 Offrcial Forward Price Curve ("1209 OFPC").
Appendix A provides the 1309 OFPC natural gas prices summarized annually by market hub.
The 1209 OFPC from the IRP is also provided for reference only.
The long term contract inputs into the 2013 IRP were also locked down in September 2012.
Since then the Company has signed seventeen long term qualifying facility contracts with a
Idaho Public Utilities Corrts.io,
October 15,2013

nameplate capacity rating of 367.8 megawatts. Five long term contracts with a nameplate of 42.0
megawatts were terminated. Provided in Appendix A is a list of the contracts.
In compliance with Commission Order 32802 the Company is filing these annual updates
requesting an October 15,2013 effective date.
Any informal inquiries should be directed to Ted Weston at [phone].
