Rocky Mounta Power respectflly requests ths application be considered under the

In support of the proposed changes Rocky Mounta Power provides the followig inormation:
Sections 2(a)(2) and 2(b)(3), Sheets 12R.4 and 12R.5 - The proposed change in methodology for
refuds for residential customers improves the likelihood of refuds to the intial customer.
Under the existing methodology the first additional customer must pay 80% of the intial
customer's advance, with the obligation reducing to 60%, 40% and 20% for the next thee
additional customers, with each refud going to the most recent previous customer. Rather than
pay the 80%, a prospective customer can wait until the five year refud period expires and not
have to pay any advance. Under the proposed methodology each of the fist four additiona
customers pay 20% each resulting in less initiál cost and risk for them. This increases the
probabilty that additional customers will pay to connect rather than wait for the refud period to
elapse, increasing the probabilty of refuds to the intial customer.

Section 3(a), Sheet 12R.6 - The proposed chage provides explicit languge for ease of
interpretation. Ths clarfication mirrors existing practice.
Section 3(e), Sheet 12R.7, Ths paragraph has been added to make explicit the curent
engineering practice of requirig the Applicant to extend the line extension though their
propert to the edge of their propert. Ths elimiates futue issues in disrupting an existing
business or distubing an existing development when connecting an additional servce for a new
customer.
Section 4(c), Sheet 12R.8 - The proposed language specifies the refud provisions for planed
developments that previously were incorporated by reference to the refud provisions for Non-
Residential Customers. It also makes explicit the option of a developer to waive refuds of less
than 20% that would otherwse use up their four potential refuds, in order to preserve
opportty for refuds of 20% or more, durg the five year refud period. When a refud is
waived that portion of the additional customer's advance is waived, or if already collected it is
refuded.
The other proposed changes in the filing are housekeeping changes to provide clarfication of the
existig taff. These changes are found in sections l(d), 2(d), 3(b), 3(d), 4(b), 4(d), and 6(a), on
propose filed Sheets 12R.2, 12R.5, 12R.6, 12R.7, 12R.8, 12R.12, and 12R.13.
