Commission Secretary Re: PacifiCorp Notice of Affiliate Transaction—PacifiCorp and MidAmerican Energy Company Case No. PAC-E-05-8
Dear Ms. Noriyuki: Pursuant to Commitment I 17(2), incorporated in the Idaho Public Utilities Commission
Order No. 29973, issued February 13, 2006, as supplemented by Order No. 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 MidAmerican Energy Company (“MEC”).
PacifiCorp entered into an agreement with MEC to purchase a used TransBanker® mobile training unit for power distribution systems. The TransBanker® training unit is needed by PacifiCorp for training line employees throughout its service area. The sale from MEC to PacifiCorp will be realized through a sales contract. A true copy of the contract is included with
this notice as Attachment A. PacifiCorp is a wholly owned subsidiary of BHE. Likewise, MEC is also a wholly owned subsidiary of BHE. Therefore, BHE’s ownership interest in both companies creates an affiliated
interest between PacifiCorp and MEC.
The value of the used TransBanker® training unit purchased by PacifiCorp under the Agreement is $275,716.45. This is the book value of the item and fairly reflects its cost. MEC was able to provide this mobile training unit at the best cost and terms when compared to other options
on the market. Thus, the use of MEC as supplier of the TransBanker® training unit under the
agreement is in the public interest.
