PAC-E-11-08 COMES NOW, PacifiCorp, d//a Rocky Mounta Power ("RM" or the "Company"), and puruat to RP 52, hereby applies to the Idaho Public Utilties Commission (the "Commssion") for an order approving the Power Puchae Agreement between RMP and Cargil, Incorprated, dated Febru 8, 2011 (the "Agreement"). In support of ths Petition, the Company states as follows: i. BACKGROUND RM is an electrcal corporation and public utilty doing business as Rocky Mounta Power in the state of Idao and is subject to the jursdiction of the Commssion with regard to its public utilty operations. RM also provides retal electrc service in the states of Uta, Oregon, Wyoming, Washington, and Californa. Cargil, Incorporated ("Cargill") intends to own, operate and maintan a biogas- fueled digester generating facilty for the generation of electrc power located near Roberts County, Idao, in Jefferson County with a naeplate capacity rating of 1,696 APPtICATION OF ROCKY MOUNTAI POWER - 1 kilowatt (the "Facilty"). The Facilty will be a quaified small power production facilty under the applicable provisions of the Public Utilties Reguatory Policy Act of 1978 ("PUR A"). II. THE POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENT 1. Under the terms of the Agrment, Cargill elected to contrt with the Company for an approximate ten-year term expirg Febru 28, 2021. Except as otherwse provided, RMP will pay Cargil non-Ievelized, non-fueled published avoided cost rates for capacity and energy adjusted for seasonality and On-PeakOff-Peak Hours in accordance with Commssion Order Nos. 31025, 30423, and other applicable orders. The Commssion recently limited the published avoided cost rate eligibilty of wid and solar QFs to facilties of 100 kW or less in Order No. 32176. As a biogas-fueled digester, the Facilty is not subject to the 100-kW eligibilty cap. 2. The tota naeplate capaity of ths Facilty is 1,696 kilowatts. As described in Section 7 of the Agreement, Cargill will be requied to provide data on the Facilty that RM will use to detee whether under normal and/or average conditions: (1) the feasibilty that Facilty Net Energy will equal or exceed 9,450,000 kWh in the firs year of operation and 12,600,000 kWh in subsequent years for the ful term of this Agrment; and (2) the likelihood that the Facilty, under average design conditions, will generate at no more than 10 MW in any calendar month. Furer, as described in Section 5.3 and Section 6.6 of the Agreement, should the Facilty exceed 10 average MW on a monthy basis, RM will accept the energy ("Invertent Energy") that does not exceed the Maximum GIA Delivery Rate, but will not purchae or pay for this Inadvertent Energy. APPLICATION OF ROCKY MOUNTAI POWER - 2 3. Pargraph 2.1 of the Agreement provides that the Agreement will not become effective until the Commission has approved the Agreement and determined that the prices to be paid for energy and capacity are just and reasonable, in the public interest, and that the cost incured by RM for purchaing capaity and energy from Cargil are legitimate expenses, all of which the Commssion will allow RM to recover in rates in Idaho in the event other jursdictions deny recovery of their proportionate share of said expenses. 4. Cargil has elected the day seven days after Commssion approval of the Agreement as the Commercial Opration Date for this Facilty. Varous requirements have been placed upon Cargil in order for RM to accept energy deliveres from ths Facilty. RM will monitor compliance with these initial requirements. In addition, RMP will monitor the ongoing requirements thoug the ful term of ths Agreement. Cargil and RM have agred to Delay Liquidated Damages and associated Delay Securty provisions of $100,097 for the Facilty with retu of the securty as specific Agreement milestones are met. 5. Cargill has been made aware of and accepted the provisions of the PPA regarding curilment or disconnection of its Facilty should certai operating conditions develop on the Company's system. Section 6 of the PPA defies the conditions for curlment and obligations of Cargill in the event of curlment. 6. All applicable interconnections chages and monthy operation and maitenance chages under the Generation Interconnection Agreement with RMP transmission will be assessed to Cargil.

If Commercial Operation occurs after the Scheduled Commercial Operation Date, Seller shall be liable to pay PacifiCorp delay damages for the number of days ("Delay Period") the Commercial Operation Date occurs after the Scheduled Commercial Operation Date, until the earlier of occurrence of the Commercial Operation Date or the termination of this Agreement ("Delay Liquidated Damages"). Bilings and payments for Delay Liquidated Damages shall be made in accordance with Section 10.1. 2.4.1 Delay tiquidated Damages. Delay Liquidated Damages equals the sum of: for each day in the Delay Period, the greater of (1) the Delay Daily Minimum or (2) the Delay Price times the Delay Volume, Where: "Delay Daily Minimum" equals (a) for the first 90 calendar days following the Scheduled Commercial Operation Date: one-ninetieth (l/90th) of forty-five dollars ($45) multiplied by the Maximum Facilty Deliver Rate with the Maximum Faciliy Deliver Rate being measured in kW; (b) after the 90th calendar day following the Scheduled Commercial Operation Date: $0. "Delay Price" equals the positive difference, if any, of the Index Price minus the weighted average of the On-Peak and Off-Peak monthly Conforming Energy Prices; and "Delay Volume" equals the applicable Scheduled Monthly Energy Delivery divided by the number of days in that month. 2.4.2 Appropriateness of Damages. The Parties agree that the daages PacifiCorp would incur due to delay in the Facilty achieving Commercial Operation on or before the Scheduled Commercial Operation Date would be difficult. or impossible to predict with certainty, and that the Delay Liquidat~d Damages are an appropriate approximation of such damages.

The calculation for the non-Ievelized purchase price during an On-Peak Hour in May of 2011 equals: $60.24/MW~ (the 2011 anual rate for Conforming Energy) multiplied by 92% (0.92) (the May On-Peak Hour multiplier), which equas $55.42/MWh.

These examples assume that the Net Energy is delivered afer the Commercial Operation Date and that no Inadvertent Energy is delivered. Step 1: Determine the 90%/110% performance taget. SMED-90 (kWh) = 90% * SMED (kWh) (SMED is the Scheduled Monthly Energy Delivery aftr any adjustments pursuat to Section 4.4.) SMED-110 (kWh) = 110% * SMED (kWh) Step 2: Determne which portion of Net Energy for the month is Conforming Energy and which is Non-Conforming Energy in relation to the 90%/110% performance tagets. Iftotal Net Energy -: SMED-90, all Net Energy is Non-Conforming Energy If total Net Energy:;= SMED-90 and -:= SMED-llO, all Net Energy is Conformng Energy If tota Net Energy:; SMED-llO, (a) Determine the point in time during the month at which Net Energy reached SMED-llO(Time-ll0); (b) All Net Energy delivered before Time-l1 0 is Conforming Energy; (c) All Net Energy delivered afer Time-liO is Non-Conforming Energy. Step 3: Determine the On-Peak and Off-Peak amounts for the Conforming Energy and Non- Conforming Energy values by whether the meter reading indicates that the energy was delivered durng On-Peak or Off-Peak Ho,urs. These amounts are the CEnergyOn-Peak, CEnergYoff_Peak, NCEnergYOn_Peak, and NCEnergyoff-Pea values for the formulae in Section 5.2. Example Month: The following is an example calculation for a month given the following values: SMED = 200,000 kWh Net Energy = 250,000 kWh Example Step 1:Determine the 90%/110% performance taget. SMED-90 (kWh) = 90% * 200,000 kWh (SMED) = 180,000 kWh SMED-ii 0 (kWh) = 110% * 200,000 kWh (SMED) = 220,000 kWh H -1 Example Step 2: Determine which Net Energy is Conforming Energy and which is Non- Conforming Energy in relátIon to the 90%/110% performance targets. Because 250,000 kW (Net Energy)). 220,000 kWh (SMED-110), (a) Assume that the meter shows that accumulated Net Energy for the month reached 220,000 kWh (SMED-110) at 1 p.m. on the 25th (Time- 110); (b) All Net Energy delivered before 1 p.m. on the 25th (Time-llO) is Conforming Energy; (c) All Net Energy delivered afer 1 p.m. on the 25th (Time-llO) is Non- Conforming Energy Example Step 3: Determe the.On-Peak and Off-Peak amounts for the Conforming Energy and Non-Conforming Energy values by whether the meter reading indicates that the energy was delivered durng On-Peak or Off-Peak Hours. For ths example, actual meter readings for On-Peak and Off-Peak Hours are made up. (Note: where Net Energy ). SMED-11 0, CEnergYon_Pea + CEnergy Of-Peak = SMED-11 0.) ()n-Peak Conforming Energy (kWh) = metered Net Energy delivered before Time-110 : during On-Peak Hours = 150,000 kWh = CEnergyon-Peak Off-Peak Conforming Energy (kWh) = metered NetEnergy delivered before Time-110 during Off-Peak Hours = 70,000 kWh = CEnergYOff-Pea On-Peak Non-Conforming Energy (kWh) = metered Net Energy delivered after Time-110 durng On-Peak Hours = 20,000 kWh = NCEnergYon-Pea Off-Peak Non-Conforming Energy (kWh) = metered Net Energy delivered afer Time- 110 during Off-Peak Hours = 10,000 kWh = NCEnergyoff-Peak H-2 EXHIBIT I Seller Authorization to Release Generation Data to PacifiCorp Customer Aüthorization to Release Generation Data Date: December 21, 2010 PacifCorp Transmission Services Attntion: Director, Transmission Services 825 NE Multnomah, Suite 1600 Portland, Oregon 97232 RE: Voluntary CönsèntForm for C~rgil Environmental Finance- Kettle Butte Dairy Project Dear PactfCorp Transmisslon: CatgiUiEnvironmental Finance hereby voluntarily authorizes laçifiCorp's transmission business unit to shârê Cätgil Environmental Finance generator interconnection information and generator meter data With Marketing Affliäteemployees of PacifiCorp Energy, including,b\lt not lÍJJ1lted tothose in the Commercial &.Tfâdirig group.
