PacifiCorp Notice of Affiliate Transaction - PacifiCorp and Kern River Gas
Transmission Company
Case No. PAC-E-05-8
Dear Ms. Noriyuki:
Pursuant to Commitmentl 17(2), incorporated in the Idaho Public Utilities Commission
OrderNo.29973, issued February 13,2006, as supplemented by OrderNo.29998
March 14,2006, in the above-referenced proceeding, approving the acquisition of PacifiCorp by
MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company (now Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company or BHE),
PacifiCorp hereby provides notice of an affiliated interest transaction with Kern River Gas
Transmission Company (Kern River).
PacifiCorp entered into an agreement with its affiliate Kem River for a non-exclusive
right-of-way and easement (Easement) that allows Kern River entry onto and for its facilities to
cross land owned by PacifiCorp. The 75-foot permanent Easement, transverses PacifiCorp's
Pavant-Delta 46kVC transmission right-of-way in Millard County, Utah, where the company is
registered with the state to do business as Rocky Mountain Power. In part, the Easement carries
with it the right of ingress and egress to and from, and access on and along a right-of-way, with
the right to use existing and future roads, for the purpose of constructing, inspecting, repairing,
protecting and maintaining the facilities and the removal or replacement of same at will, either in
whole or in part, and the replacement of said pipeline with either like or different size pipe. A
copy of the Easement is included with this notice as Attachment A.
Re
PacifiCorp is a wholly ownedo indirect subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Energy
Company (BHE). Kern River is also a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of BHE. Therefore,
BHE's ownership interest in PacifiCorp and Kern River creates an affiliated interest relationship
between PacifiCorp and Kern River.
Kem River owns and operates the Kern River pipeline system, which transports natural
gas to California, Nevada, and Utah. Certain of Kem River's Utah pipelines are in an area used
by PacifiCorp and located within Utah County, Utah. Kern River is building a new pipeline to
provide service to customers. The Easement is needed by Kern River to construct, operate, and
maintain the improved delivery pipeline. Kern River will pay $1,000 for the Easement.
Acquiring the Easement is in the public interest because it accommodates Kern River's need to
install and maintain its pipeline in service to its customers. Moreover, PacifiCorp benefits from
the sale financially. Further, it is consistent with other easements that PacifiCorp has entered into
that do not interfere with the current or future use of the property as transmission corridor lands.
As the sole property owner, PacifiCorp is the only entity that can grant this Easement to Kern
River.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions
Sincerely,
- /,-*. h-
