CASE NO. PAC-E-08-01
COMES NOW, Rocky Mountain Power, a division of PacifiCorp (the
"Company"), and hereby requests from the Idaho Public Utilities Commssion (the
"Commission") a change in the effective date of the previously filed Application for an
Increase to the Customer Effciency Services Rate Adjustment and Enhancement to
Energy Efficiency Programs for Commercial, Industral, Agricultual and Residential
Customers.
On Febru 14, 2008, the Company filed an Application with the Commission
for approval to: (1) adjust the collection rate of the existing demand-side management
("DSM") cost recovery mechansm (Schedule No. 191); (2) add a new energy efficiency
program for Rocky Mountain Power's commercial and industral customers; and (3)
make several enhancements and changes to existing programs for business and residential
customers intended to improve program pedormance. In that Application, the Company
proposed an effective date of April 1, 2008.
In the Application, the Company proposed that Notices of the rate changes would
be included with customers' bil beginng the week of Februar 25, 2008, and continue
until all customers receive a bil containing the Notice. The Company estimated this
would tae approximately 30 days from the date of filing.
It has recently come to the attention of the Company that this Notice approach
will not comply with the 30 day requirements of Idaho Code § 61-307. Accordingly, the
Company requests that the Commssion modify the effective date proposed in the
Application from April 1, 2008 to May 1, 2008. The Company will begin sending the
customer notices on Febru 25, 2008 as previously planed, and a change in the
program effective date from April 1 to May 1 will enable all customers to receive Notice
more than 30 days in advance of the effective date in compliance with Idaho Code § 61-
307. The Company has included as Attachment 1 to this Motion a copy of the revised
news release and customer notice that will included as a bil stuffng beginng Februar
25,2008.
WHEREFORE, Rocky Mountain Power respectfully requests that the
Commission issue an Order modifying the effective date of the Company's Application
from April 1, 2008 to May 1, 2008 so that the Company will be able to comply with the
customer notice requirements of Idaho Code § 61-307.
DATED this 19th day of Februar, 2008.
Respectfully submitted,
