IN THE MATTER OF THE
APPLICATION OF ROCKY
MOUNTAIN POWER FOR
APPROVAL OF CHANGES TO ITS
ELECTRIC SERVICE SCHEDULES
CASE NO. P AC-07-
Direct Testimony of Erich D. Wilson
ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER
CASE NO. P AC-07-
June 2007
Please state your name, business address and present position with the
Company (also referred to as Rocky Mountain Power).
My name is Erich D. Wilson. My business address is 825 N.E. Multnomah, Suite
1800, Portland, Oregon 97232. My present position is Director, Human
Resources.
Qualifications
Briefly describe your education and business experience.
I have been employed as the Director of Human Resources since March 2006.
From March 2001 to March 2006, I was the Director of Compensation for the
Company. Prior to coming to the Company, I held various positions within the
area of human resources (operations, benefits and staffing), but for the majority of
my career I have directed the design and administration of compensation
programs. I received a Bachelor s degreein Economics (Business) from the
University of California at San Diego in 1992. In addition, I achieved the
Certified Compensation Professional status from the American Compensation
Association (ACA) in 1999 and have kept this certification current through
attending various educational programs and seminars.
Briefly describe your current duties.
My primary responsibilities include managing the Company s human resource
function, including compensation, benefits, compliance, staffing, training and
development, employee and labor relations, and payroll. I focus on assisting the
Company in attracting, retaining and motivating qualified employees along with
the administration of all associated human resource programs and employee

experiences.
Purpose of Testimony
What is the purpose of your testimony?
The purpose of my testimony is to provide an overview of the compensation arid
benefit plans provided to employees at the Company and to support the costs
related to these areas that are included in the test period revenue requirement. This
overview is focused on our base pay, annual incentive, severance, pension and
healthcare benefit plans. These plans are designed to enable the Company to
attract and retain the employee talent to deliver operational and service value to
the customers we serve. In addition, the Company s programs help provide a
highly effective workforce at a reasonable cost and demonstrate that Rocky
Mountain Power is a prudent and well-managed company.
Background
Please briefly describe Rocky Mountain Power s compensation and benefits
philosophy.
The philosophy of Rocky Mountain Power and its parent MidAmerican Energy
Holdings Company is to provide a total compensation and benefits package that
enables an employee to receive compensation and benefits comparable to the
average provided by competitors for labor when an employee performs at an
acceptable level. Employees will earn less than the average remuneration when
performance is less than acceptable and, conversely, will earn higher than the
average remuneration when performance is better than the accepted levels. The
Company s objective is to generally provide the same components in its total
Wilson, Di - 2
Rocky Mountain Power
remuneration package as are included in the packages provided by its competitors.
This allows Rocky Mountain Power to attract and retain the quality of employee
necessary to provide the high level of service demanded by and owed to our
customers, without incurring excessive or unreasonable labor costs.
When reviewing any expenses associated with any single portion of this
compensation package, it is essential to recognize that each portion is part of an
integrated total package. The total compensation package must be viewed as a
whole.
Base and Incentive Compensation
How does the Company determine the base compensation portion of the total
compensation and benefits package for each position?
At least annually, the Company collects market data for comparable jobs and
calculates the average data point for total cash compensation. We then separate
the total cash compensation portion into two elements: 1) base salary, and 2) an
at risk" or incentive element. In evaluating the compensation portion of the total
compensation and benefits package, these two elements must be considered
together; if either portion is eliminated, an employee would not be compensated at
a market level. This approach reinforces the Company s strategies and objectives
while also providing flexibility and a prudent response to changes in business
conditions.
Wilson, Di - 3
Rocky Mountain Power
Please describe the incentive element of the compensation portion of Rocky
Mountain Power s compensation and benefits package as it exists in the test
period.
The intent of the incentive element is to put some of the competitive total
compensation "at risk." If an employee performs at an acceptable level for the
position, the incentive amount (referred to as the target incentive) will allow the
employee to earn compensation comparable to other similar positions in the
market. If an employee fails to perform at an acceptable level, the employee will
receive less than the target incentive or no incentive at all. When this situation
occurs, the employee will be paid less than the comparable total cash
compensation in the marketplace for that year. Conversely, for exceptional
performance, an employee may receive above his or her target incentive level.
What are the objectives of the incentive element of the compensation portion
of the total package?
The upside opportunity associated with incentive compensation provides the
employee with an incentive to exceed performance that is merely acceptable. This
opportunity is an essential counterbalance to the risk the employee faces that
performance in a particular year will be less than acceptable, with the
consequence that total compensation will be less than market in that year. The
symmetry of the incentive element provides the Company with the financial tool
to encourage exceptional performance and discourage less than acceptable
performance. As would be expected from a well-designed, symmetrical plan, the
average incentive element is approximately at the target incentive level.
Wilson, Di - 4
Rocky Mountain Power
Is incentive compensation a greater benefit to customers than compensation
consisting solely of base salary?
Yes. In the Company s experience, and as I discuss further below, a higher level
of overall employee performance is achieved when a portion of pay is "at risk.
Therefore, while the total cost of the Company s base plus incentive
compensation program is still based on average total cash compensation, just as a
salary-only program would be, the benefit to customers is greater. In addition, the
lack of incentive compensation would make it more difficult for the Company to
attract and retain talented employees in the increasingly competitive market for
skilled labor.
How is the incentive compensation plan structured?
Each employee has a target incentive level, as set by competitive market data.
The Company s Annual Incentive Plan provides performance awards based on the
following: achieving individual and group goals including safety goals,
individual performance, and success in addressing new issues and opportunities
that may arise during the course of the year. Note that all employees are expected
to operate within their respective budgets, but corporate financial performance
and returns are not a factor in determining the compensation amount. This
approach supports the philosophy of incentive compensation as pay at risk that is
earned based on individual performance. There is one important exception to the
focus on individual performance; failure of a group or business unit to meet its
safety goal will impact the compensation amount even if the individual achieves
his or her personal safety goal.
Wilson, Di - 5
Rocky Mountain Power
As previously described, the incentive plan is structured to deliver a target
incentive level for achieving performance objectives, and this target level
maintains the competitiveness of the employee s position within the market place.
A wards received above these stated target levels are for exceptional performance
as previously described.
Please explain the level of incentive compensation that you have included in
this application?
This application includes a request for total Company incentive compensation of
$27.5 million, reduced from the $33.9 million included in the 2006 unadjusted
data. This request represents the total incentive compensation payout at the target
incentive level for each employee participating in the incentive plan during the
test year.
What level of incentive compensation does the Company expect to payout on
a year-to-year basis?
The Company s pay philosophy is to provide competitive total compensation as
set by the competitive market; therefore, it is expected that the target incentive
level will be achieved on a year-to-year basis and paid out at that level. While the
Company s current incentive compensation design provides for an upside
opportunity for individual employees whose performance surpasses acceptable
levels, the overall company payout will be limited to the targeted incentive level.
Can you be more specific about the customer benefits related to incentive
compensation for Rocky Mountain Power s employees?
Yes. Rocky Mountain Power s customers benefit from having exceptional
Wilson, Di - 6
Rocky Mountain Power
individuals leading and operating the organization who are motivated to achieve
challenging goals directly tied to safety, reliability and customer satisfaction - all
of which are customer benefits. Each year, the same goals used to manage the
Company are used to evaluate and reward employee performance. The best
example of this is Exhibit No. 22, the individual goals of Rocky Mountain
Power s president, A. Richard Walje. These goals are used not only for Mr. Walje
personally, but they also represent the goals of the entire Rocky Mountain Power
business unit, which includes all of the power distribution activities in Idaho.
Each Rocky Mountain Power employee establishes individual goals that directly
reflect Rich's goals for the business unit.
The focus of Mr. Walje s goals, which you would find is similar in
approach to the goals of our other senior officers, is to improve all aspects of our
business and services provided to our customers and employees. Goal 2 for 2007
is focused on safety and reducing lost time, recordable, preventable and restricted
duty incidents. Goal 3 addresses environmental areas of improvement, reduction
of preventable environmental incidents, correction of any and all potential
noncompliance findings, and meeting all agency requirements, among others.
Goal 4 focuses directly on customer/stakeholder satisfaction, implementing local
and regional customer service improvements, improving visibility and relations
with industrial customers and consumer associations, and improving overall
customer satisfaction. Goal 5 relates to operating with established budgets,
including maintaining operating costs, controlling the cost of capital expenditures,
and achieving operational efficiencies-financial targets that allow the Company
Wihmn, Di - 7
Rocky Mountain Power
to remain a low-cost utility. Other key goals relate to operational performance
(goal 6), major project delivery (goal 7), organizational planning and development
(goal 8), and quality of service and regulatory commitments (goal 9).
The Company s business strategy relies heavily on the annual
development and achievement of these goals by all employees. Aligning
employees' success in achieving these goals with a significant portion of their
compensation is an obvious performance incentive that ultimately benefits
customers.
Does the incentive plan compensate employees based on corporate financial
performance?
No. As I mentioned, achievement of a level of corporate earnings is not part of
this plan. There is an additional incentive plan for selected officers and key
personnel that incorporates achievement of corporate financial performance as
one of its critical elements. Weare not seeking to recover any of the costs of that
plan from customers.
The incentive compensation amount included in this case is based on
providing competitive market levels of incentive compensation. These levels
enable the Company to attract and retain the talent needed to provide safe and
reliable service to its customers.
Employee Severance
Please describe how the Company s severance plan operates and why it is
offered to its employees.
As previously described, the Company has an overall compensation philosophy of
Wilson, Di - 8
Rocky Mountain Power
providing compensation that is aligned with the competitive market average in
order to attract, retain and motivate skilled employees needed to deliver safe and
reliable service to its customers. Severance programs are one element of the
Company s competitive approach.
Like many large companies, Rocky Mountain Power has maintained a
severance plan for its broad-based employee population and an enhanced program
for its executives. The Company has assessed its program against the market by
working with M Benefit Solutions (previously named MCG Northwest).
Attached is Exhibit No. 23, which outlines the 2002 study performed byM
Benefit Solutions and used by the Company to confirm its severance program
design.
How do Rocky Mountain Power customers benefit from a severance plan
that pays employees who are no longer working for the Company?
Severance plans generally are used to encourage employees to remain with the
Company and continue to be productive during a period of organizational
changes. This is what occurred following MidAmerican Energy Holdings
Company s (MEHC) acquisition of PacifiCorp. The new leadership, based on
extensive meetings with customers, stakeholders and regulators, determined that
customers would be better served by eliminating a significant number of
management and corporate services positions, clarifying accountability, and
reorganizing the Company into three business units that were more autonomous
and responsive to local needs. As part of this reorganization, management
identified a number of operating efficiencies, resulting in the need for fewer
Wilson, Di - 9
Rocky Mountain Power
employees. The severance plan provided employees who were identified for
displacement with an incentive to continue to work productively and effectively
while the transition was occurring. The benefits of continued operation of the
Company during the transition, the operational improvements of the restructured
Company following the transition, and the savings associated with a leaner, more
responsive organization, all accrue directly to our customers. In light of these
benefits, the costs of transition benefits provided by a severance program are
prudent, and their recovery in rates is appropriate.
In January 2007, the Commission authorized the Company to maintain a
deferred account for severance costs related to MEHC restructuring (Case
No. PAC-06-11). Has the Company now recognized all of the severance
amounts to be included in this deferred account?
Yes. The severance program for both the executive and non-executive level
employees was actively utilized when MEHC acquired the Company in order to
restructure work and job responsibilities under the new ownership. The company-
wide phase of the program ended on May 23, 2007, and all severance-related
costs associated with the MEHC labor restructuring program were recognized on
or before that date. The Company continues to operate a .severance plan that will
be applied on a case-by-case basis. Under appropriate circumstances, which may
include displacement due to reduction in workforce, the Company may determine
whether and to what extent to provide severance benefits using the flexibility
inherent in a discretionary plan.
Wilson, Di - 10
Rocky Mountain Power
Please identify the MEHC restructuring severance costs for both executive
and non-executive employees.
As of March 9,2007, total MEHC severance cost was $39.5 million. This cost is
comprised of the following amounts for the two employee groups:
a. Executive severance = $11.4 million
b. Non-executive severance = $28.2 million
Exhibit No. 24 is a list of all non-executive employees' work locations and
severance pay as of March 9, 2007. Exhibit No. 25 is a listing and associated
severance expense for each employee that received severance under the executive
severance plan as of March 9, 2007.
Please explain how the Company has included MEHC restructuring related
severance expense in this application?
The Company has recognized $39.5 million in severance costs related to the
MEHC restructuring that should be deferred pursuant to Order No. 30225. This
amount reflects employee terminations from March 21,2006, through March 9,
2007, related to the sale of PacifiCorp to MEHC. Although the severance costs
associated with the MEHC acquisition continued to be incurred through May 23,
2007, the March 9, 2007, cut-off date was used to provide time for preparation of
this application. Severance costs incurred after March 9, 2007, have been
insignificant.
In light of the benefits of the restructuring described above, as well as the
typical role of severance benefits as a component of competitive compensation
and benefits packages for employees, the Company believes that the expenses of
Wilson, Di -
Rocky Mountain Power
both the executive and broad-based. employee severance benefits were prudently
incurred and, as a result, should be included in the Idaho revenue requirement. To
appropriately match these costs with the benefits to customers over a reasonable
time period, the Company has proposed a three-year amortization of this deferred
expense; therefore, one third of the $39.5 million, or $13.2 million on a total
Company basis, is included in the computation of revenue requirement in this
application.
Have you prepared a costlbenefit analysis that supports the Company
proposal to include this cost in the revenue requirement?
Yes. An analysis detailing the cost and benefits related to the change in control
severance program is provided on Page 4.17.2 of Exhibit No. 11, which is
sponsored by Company witness Steven R. McDougal. The analysis supports the
inclusion of this expense in the revenue requirement because it is offset by the
ongoing benefits of the workforce restructuring.
Have any of the MEHC restructured and severed positions been backfilled,
resulting in both severance costs and an ongoing replacement salary
expense?
There are special circumstances where terminations have occurred resulting in
severance costs, and the employee position has been replaced due to the critical
nature of the position or the ongoing dynamic nature of the restructuring effort.
The attached Exhibit Nos. 24 and 25 include a column ("Replaced (yes/no)") that
identifies those meeting these criteria. In these instances, the related Severance
costs for replaced positions have been removed from the rate case revenue
Wilson, Di - 12
Rocky Mountain Power
requirement.
All other positions have not been replaced, and to help ensure that the
remaining displaced jobs are not inadvertently backfilled, the human resources
department established a governance/approval process for new hires that is
handled as follows:
1. All new positions are reviewed by human resources and approved by the
president! business unit lead.
2. Once approved by the president/business unit lead, they are then reviewed
by the director of human resources.
3. The director of human resources reviews and final approval is provided by
the senior vice president of human resources for MidAmerican Energy
Holdings Company.
Please explain why the severance costs for individual executive employees are
so much higher than for non-executive employees.
There are fundamental differences in the severance plan design and benefit value
for executive-level positions versus non-executive-Ievel positions. Executive-
level positions obviously are at greater risk of termination in the event of a change
in control, and it is a necessary part of their compensation package that these risks
be addressed through appropriate severance arrangements. Moreover, executives
are likely to need more time than the broad-based employee population to secure
a comparable position with another company. As a result, enhanced severance
benefits are an important recruitment and retention tool for executive-level.
employees.
Wilson, Di - 13
Rocky Mountain Power
Please explain the severance expenses and arrangements for the executive
employees.
The executive severance plan provides the following severance benefits in the
event a termination occurs as part of a change in control:
1. Two times base pay at time of termination.
2. Two times target bonus opportunity.
3. Two times annual vehicle allowance.
4. Six to twenty-four months of healthcare continuation (based on years of
service).
5. Outplacement services.
6. Additional payment to compensate for any excise tax obligation.
A significant portion of the executive severance costs relate to the Company
former president and chief executive officer, Judi Johansen. Please explain
the benefit of these costs to customers in light of the fact that the Company
now has three presidents.
Ms. Johansen s role was largely assumed by Mr. Greg Abel, the Company
current CEO. Mr. Abel is not on the Company s payroll, and only the portion of
his time spent on Company matters is charged to the Company through the inter-
company administrative services agreement. Inter-company charges are subject to
annual expense limits (and potential rate credits) and must be supported by
detailed time reporting, consistent with MEHC and PacifiCorp commitments
made to the Commission. The three Company presidents primarily assumed
functions that were performed by other Company executives prior to the
Wilson, Di - 14
Rocky Mountain Power
acquisition by MEHC; those previous positions were eliminated. The
restructuring of top-level executives was done to ensure local decisions and
control over local issues, particularly in the Rocky Mountain Power states; to
clarify responsibility for budgets, safety, operations and customer satisfaction;
and to make the presidents more accessible and accountable to customers,
regulators and shareholders. The associated executive severance cost is a one-time
expense that should be recovered through rates to reflect the long-term benefit of
reduced layers of management.
Does the company expect severance expense in the future and if so, has that
been included in this filing?
There will be instances where the company determines severance would be
appropriate for an employee on a case-by-case basis. However; there is no future
severance expense included in this filing.
Retirement Plans
Please describe the changes to the Company retirement plan that took effect
on June 1,2007.
The Company regularly reviews its compensation and benefit plans. Rising and
volatile pension costs and recent changes to applicable laws and regulations led
the Company to implement changes to its pension plan that will create a more
stable, predictable cost structure.
Previously, the Company has offered employees a traditional defined-
benefit pension plan, delivered in value based on a final average pay formula.
This approach can cause both short- and long-term cost and volatility of cost and
Wilson, Di -
Rocky Mountain Power
cash funding. To mitigate these risks, the Company has shifted its benefit
determination approach,effective June 1,2007, to a more stable benefit for the
non-union workforce. Going forward, the pension benefit will be delivered
through a cash balance plan approach. All vested benefits under the current final
average pay approach were frozen as of May 31, 2007, and will be provided to
employees at the time of retirement. Effective June 1 , 2007, the Company
established an account for each employee that will grow based on credits of 6.
percent of annual pay (base plus incentive) plus 4.0 percent of pay in excess ofthe
Social Security taxable wage base ($97,500 in 2007). In addition, on an annual
basis each account will receive an interest credit based on the account balance and
the annual credit rate.
A transition benefit was provided for employees who are age 40 or older
on May 31 2007. Employees falling in this category will receive additional pay
credits for five years (ending in 2012), structured as follows:
Year 1-3 = 4.0 percent
Year 4 = 2.5 percent
Year 5 = 1.5 percent
All new hires eligible to participate in the pension plan after June 30,. 2006 will
receive a pay credit rate of 5.0 percent and no transition pay credits.
The cash balance plan approach spreads pension costs throughout an
employee s career and is conceptually much simpler than a traditional defined-
benefit approach (final average pay formula), providing employees more
transparency and the Company (as well as the Commission and customers) more
Wilson, Di -
Rocky Mountain Power
predictability. Another key benefit to employees of this approach is its portability
and ability to roll over into another retirement account.
The Company is also adjusting its matching and fixed contributions to
participants ' 401(k) retirement plan. Effective June 1 2007, the Company will
match 65 percent of employee contributions for the first 6 percent of employee
pay (change from 50 percent of employee contributions), plus a 1 percent of pay
discretionary profit sharing match determined annually. These changes will
reduce the maximum employer contribution to the 401(k) plan from 5 percent to
9 percent of an employee s pay.
Is the Company making changes to the retirement plan to reduce its overall
expense?
The pension plan changes will result in savings that will ultimately benefit
customers. However, the main reason the Company has decided to shift its
pension benefit program is to remain competitive with other energy service
providers and to reflect recent legislation passed under the Pension Protection Act
of 2006. This change reflects a broader shift in large organizations across the
country to cash-balance plans, as many other businesses see the benefit of a more
predictable method of funding employee retirement benefits. Based on studies by
Hewitt Associates (a copy is attached as Exhibit No. 26), 71 percent of companies
(all industries) had traditional defined benefit pension plans in 2000, by 2006, that
number had shifted to 53 percent. Those having a cash balance plan moved from
18 percent to 34 percent during the same time period. The same study focusing in
on the utility sector shows a shift from 79 percent to 51 percent for traditional
Wilson, Di - 17
Rocky Mountain Power
defined benefit pension plans and an increase from 19 percent to 35 percent for
cash balance plans. This trend has been reinforced to us by many of our larger
business customers who wrestle with the same issues associated with providing
retirement benefits and have questioned how we would continue to manage the
financial uncertainties associated with a defined-benefit plan (final average pay
formula).
How much does the Company expect to save by changing to a cash-balance
pension plan?
Prior to revising the pension plan as described above, the Company had budgeted
$54.7 million for its annual pension expense accrual using the final average pay
determination approach. Under the revised pension plan structure, the Company
now expects the 2007 pension expense accrual to be $49.6 million, yielding an
annual reduction of approximately $5.0 million.
. How does the Company propose to include the annual pension costs in its
calculation of revenue requirement?
The Company accounts for its annual pension costs according to the guidelines set
forth by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in FAS 87 and more recently
FAS 158. The Company has consistently requested recovery of pension expense
based on FAS 87 accruals in general rate cases across its six-state service territory
since 1998, and would prefer to continue to recover its pension-related expenses
under this approach. The level of expense accrual for the test year in this
application is $49.6 million as shown on Page 4.2 of Company witness Steven
R. McDougal's Exhibit No. 11.
Wilson, Di - 18
Rocky Mountain Power
However, for purposes of this application, the Company has made an
additional adjustment to the test year to calculate revenue requirement based on
the level of cash contributions made to the pension plan trust assets during the test
year. This adjustment is consistent with Commission rulings in previous general
rate cases for both Idaho Power Company (Case No. IPC-03-13, Order No.
29505) and Avista (Case No. A VU-04-, Order No. 29602). Consequently,
this application includes $66.7 million for annual pension costs.
Why is the Company proposing the additional adjustment to include the cash
contributions to its pension fund rather than accrued expenses?
The Company s pension plan is an integral component of its overall compensation
program, and it is critical that the Company recover the cost of funding the
program using a consistent methodology from year to year. The Company has not
had an explicit determination made by the Commission regarding the allowed
method for Idaho-allocated pension cost recovery since it began adhering. to FAS
87 guidelines. Based on the recent Commission decisions cited above, the
Company has included cash contributions to the plan assets in the calculation of
revenue requirement.
Why is it important that the Company receive direction from the
Commission regarding the allowed methodology for recovery of pension-
related costs?
To adequately fund the Company s pension plan, contributions must be made to
plan assets in a way that ensures obligations to employees are ultimately met.
The level of these contributions is based on many factors, including investment
Wilson, Di -
Rocky Mountain Power
performance and laws and regulations in place to protect those expecting to
receive benefits from the plan, and can vary significantly from year to year. For
financial reporting purposes the Company is required to accrue pension expenses
according to guidelines contained in FAS 87 and FAS 158. Over the long run, the
accrued expense will equal the total cash contributions; however, in a given year
the cash contribution may be significantly different than the accrued expense. If a
consistent methodology is notfollowed year after year to determine the
appropriate level of expense to include in rates, the Company may not have an
opportunity to recover the full cost of funding its pension plan.
Employee Health Benefits
Please describe the Company s rationale for sharing healthcare-related costs
with employees.
The Company periodically reviews and adjusts the sharing of healthcare-related
costs with employees in an effort to stabilize cost, manage volatility, and respond
to changing market practices. Exhibit No. 27 provides market data compiled by
Hewitt Associates outlining competitive healthcare sharing structures. Rocky
Mountain Power has established a tiered rate approach to healthcare premium cost
sharing, requiring employees earning greater than $100,000 to contribute 20
percent toward the premium cost, employees earning between $60,000 and
$100,000 to contribute 15 percent, and employees earning less than $60,000 to
contribute 10 percent. This change was the start of a transition to have all .
employees at an 80120 cost sharing level, a level which will be achieved effective
January 1,2008.
Wilson, Di - 20
Rocky Mountain Power
An additional consideration for the Company in making this decision to
shift the cost-sharing structure was the continued rise in the healthcarecosts borne
by the Company. This structural shift adheres to the Company s goal of providing
competitive benefits to its employees, while doing so in a fair-and prudent
fashion.
Please explain the level of health care costs you have included in this
application and compare that to previous fiscal year expenses.
There has been a significant upward trend in healthcare costs in recent years. For
fiscal year 2005 and calendar years 2006 and 2007, expected healthcare expenses
totaled $41.5 million, $49.9 million and $60.8 million, respectively. Consistent
with this trend, the Company has included in this application healthcare expenses
of $58.6 million as shown on Page 4.2 of Mr. McDougal's Exhibit No. 11.
Hewitt Associates has informed the Company that current trends indicate
the rates for the Company s plans are anticipated to increase further in 2008 by
between 9 and 11 percent. Shifting the cost-sharing structure passes more of the
increasing expense on to employees rather than customers and, again, is done for
the purpose of providing competitive retail electric service to our customers.
Does this conclude your direct testimony?
Yes.
