CASE NO. 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.

SECTION2: TERM, MILESTONES, COMMERCIAL OPERATION DATE
2.1 This Agreement shall become effective after execution by both Parties and after
approval by the Commssion ("Effective Date"); provided, however, this Agreement shall not
become effective until the Commssion has determined, pursuantto a final and non-appealable
order, that the prices to be paid for energy and capacity are just and reasonable, in the public
interest, and that the costs incurred by PacifiCorp for purchases of capacity and energy from
Seller are legitimate expenses, all of which the Commission wil allow PacifiCorp to recover
in rates in Idaho in the event other jurisdictions deny recovery of their proportonate share ofsaid expenses. .
Unless earlier terinated as provided herein, the Agreement shall remain in effect until midnight
(24:00 MPT) on February 28,2021 ("Expiration Date").
2.2 Time is of the essence of this Agreement, and Seller's abilty to meet certain
requirements prior to the Commercial Operation Date and to achieve Commercial Operation
by the Scheduled Commercial Operation Date is critically important. Therefore,
2.2.1 By the date 5 business days after the Effective Date, Seller shall
provide Delay Security required under Section 10.1.1, as applicable.
2.2.2 At least ten business days prior to delivery of any energy from the
Facilty to PacifiCorp, Seller shall provide PacifiCorp with an executed Generator
Interconnection Agreement.
2.2.3 Prior to Commercial Operation, Seller shall provide PacifiCorp
with an As-built Supplement acceptable to PacifiCorp.
2.2.4 Seven days after the Effective Date of this Agreement, Seller shall
achieve Commercial Operation ("Scheduled Commercial Operation Date").
2.3 Establishing Commercial Operation. To achieve Commercial Operation, Seller
must provide, subject to PacifiCorp's written approval which wil not be uneasonably
witheld, written notice to PacifiCorp stating when Seller believes that the Facility has
achieved Commercial Operation accompanied by the certificates described in Section 1.5.
PacifiCorp's approval, if given, shall designate the Commercial Operation Date. In no event
wil delay in achieving the Scheduled Commercial Operatioii Date postpone the Expiration
Date specified in Section 2.1. 1/

2.4 Delay. Liquidated Damages. Seller shall cause the Facility to achieve
Commercial Operation on or before the Scheduled Commercial Operation Date. 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.

liability or occurrence arising from the operation and maintenance by Seller of the Facilty.
6.3 Curtilment. PacifiCorp shall not be obligated to purchase, receive, pay for, or
pay any damages associated with, Net Output (or associated Production Tax Credits or
Environmental Attributes) if such Net Output (or associated Production Tax Credits or
Environmental Attributes) is not delivered to the System or Point of Delivery due to any of the
following: (a) the interconnection between the Facility and the System is disconnected,
suspended or interrupted, in whole or in part, consistent with the terms of the Generation
Interconnection Agreement, (b) the Tranmission Provider or Network Service Provider
directs a general curtailment, reduction, or redispatch of generation in the area (which would
include the Net Output) for any reason, even if such curtilment or redispatch directive is
carried out by PacifiCorp, which may fulfill such directive by acting in its sole discretion; or if
PacifiCorp curtails or otherwise reduces the Net Output in order to meet its obligations to the
Transmission Provider or Network Service Provider to schedule within system limts, (c) the
Facility's Output is not received because the Facilty is not fully integrated or synchronied
with the System, or (d) an event of Force Majeure prevents either Part from delivering or
receiving Net Output. Seller shall reasonably determe the MWh amount of Net Output
curailed pursuat to this Section 6.3 after the fact based on the amount of energy that could
have been generated at the Facilty and delivered to PacifiCorp as Net Output but that was not
generated and delivered because of the curtilment. Seller shall promptly provide PacifiCorp
with access to such information and data as PacifiCorp may reasonably require to confrm to
its reasonable satisfaction the amount of energy that was not generated or delivered because of
a curtailinent described in this Section 6.3.
6.3.1 Upon termination of each curtailment, each Part having knowledge of
the curtilment shall transmit to the other Party, within ten (10) business days, a

and the time curtailment ended.
6.3.2 At the end of each Biling Period, Seller shall calculate the curtailed
energy, including the Maximum Curtailed Facility Delivery Rate, for each
curailment for necessity during that Biling Period and transmit a sumar statement
of such calculation to PacifiCorp prior to the end of the next month. Seller shall
attest to the accuracy of its calculation of curtailed energy.
6.4 PacifiCorp as Merchant. Seller acknowledgesthatPacifiCorp, acting in its
merchant capacity fuction as purchaser under this Agreement, has no responsibilty for or
control over PacifiCorp Transmission or any successor Transmission Provider and that
interaction between PacifiCorp and PacifiCorp Transmission are at arms' length pursuant to
the Tariffand FERC Order No. 888 and related regulation.
6.5 Scheduling Net Output. At least niety (90) days before the first day of each
calendar quarter, Seller shall provide PacifiCorp with written notice of the Facilty's planed
Net Output generation schedule ("Schedule") for that calendar quarter. At least ten (10) days
before the beginng of each month, Seller shall notify PacifiCorp in writing of any changes or
updates to the Schedule for that month. At or before 0730 MPT on the day before a given day
of delivery, Seller shall notify PacifiCorp' s generation coordinator desk, by telephonig 503-
813-6090 or sending a facsimile to 503-813-6265, of any changes to the Schedule for the
delivery day. Seller shall notify PacifiCorp's generation coordinator desk no later than two
hours. following the commencement of an event of Force Majeure, unscheduled outage or
uncheduled derate, of the expected duration of any such event. The Schedule made pursuat
to this Section 6.5 is independent of and does not alter the.Energy Delivery Schedule.
6.6 Delivery Exceeding the Maximum GIA Delivery Ráte. Seller shall not deliver
energy from the Facility to the Point of Delivery at a rate that exceeds the Maximum GIA
Delivery Rate. Seller's failure to limit such deliveries to the Maximum GIA Delivery Rate
shall be a breach of a material obligation subject to 11.1.8.
6.7 Outages.
6.7.1 Planned Outages. Except as otherwise provided herein,' Seller
shall not schedule a Planned Outage during any portion of the month of December,
January, July, and August, except to the extent a Planned Outage is reasonably
reqùired to enable a vendor to satisfy a gurantee requirement in a situation in which
the vendor is not otherwise able to perform the guarantee work at a time other than
durg one of the months specified above. Seller shall, in Exhibit D, provide
PacifiCorp. with an anual forecast of Planed Outages for each Contract Year at least
one (1) month, but no more that three (3) months, before the first day of that Contract
Year, and shall promptly update such schedule, or otherwise change it only, to the
extent that Seller is reasonably required to change it in order to comply with Prdent
Electrical Practices. Seller shall not schedule more than one hundred fifty (150) hours
18
of Planned Outages for each calendar year. Seller shall not schedule any maintenance
of Interconnection Facilities during such months, without the prior written approval of
PacifiCorp, which approval may be witheld by PacifiCorp in its sole discretion.
6.7.2 Maitenance Outages. If Seller reasonably determes that it is
necessary to schedule a Maintenance Outage, Seller shall notify PacifiCorp of the
proposed Maintenance Outage as soon as practicable but in any event at least five (5)
business days before the outage begin (or such shorter period to whichPacifiCorp may
reasonably consent in light of then existing conditions). Upon such notice, the Parties
shall plan . the Maintenace Outage to mutully accommodate the reasonable
requirements of Seller and the service obligations of PacifiCorp. Seller shall take all
reasonable measures and use best efforts consistent with Prdent Electrical Practices to
not schedule any Maintenance Outage during the following periods: June 15 through
June 30, July, August, and September 1 through September 15. Seller shall include in
such notice of a proposed Maintenance Outage the expected start date and time of the
outage, the amount of generation capacity of the Facilty that wil not be available, and
the expected completion date and time of the outage. Seller may provide notices under
this Section 6.7.2 orally. Seller shall conf any such oral notification in writing as
soon as practicable. PacifiCorp shall promptly respond to such notice and may request
reasonable modifications in the schedule for the outage. Seller shall use all reasonable
efforts to comply with PacifiCorp's request to modify the schedule for a Maintenance
Outage if such modification has no substantial impact on Seller. Seller shall notify
PacifiCorp of any subsequent changes in generation capacity of the Facilty during such
Maintenance Outage and any changes in the Maintenance Outage completion date and
time. Seller shall take all reasonable meaures and exercise its best efforts consistent
with Prudent Electrical Practice& to minimize the frequency and duration of
Maintenance Outages.
6.7.3 Forced Outages. . Seller shall promptly provide to PacifiCorp an
oral report, via telephone to a number specified by PacifiCorp, of any Forced Outage
of the Facilty. Such report shall include the amount of generation capacity of the
Facility that wil not be available because of the Forced Outage and the expected retun
date and time of such generation capacity. Seller shall promptly update the report as
necessary to advise PacifiCorp of changed circumstaces. If the Forced Outage
resulted in more than 15 % of the Facilty Capacity Rating of the Facilty being
unvailable, Seller shall confirm the oral report in writing as soon as practicable.
Seller shall tae all reasonable measures and exercise its best efforts consistent with
Prudent Electrical Practices to avoid Forced Outages and to mimie their duration.
6.7.4 Notice of Deratings and Outages. Without limiting other notice
requirements, Seller shall notif PacifiCorp, via telephone to a number specified by
PacifiCorp, of any limtation, restriction, derating or outage known to Seller that
affects the generation capacity of the Facility in an amount greater than five percent
(5 %) of the Facility Capacity Rating for the following day. Seller shall promptly
update such notice to reflect any material changes to the information in such notice.
19
6.8 Effect of Outages on Estimated Output. Seller shall include Planned Outages
and Maintenance Outages that Seller reasonably expects to encounter in the ordinary course of
operating the Facility into the Scheduled Monthly Energy Delivery amounts in the Energy
Delivery Schedule set fort in Exhibit D.
6.9 Increase to the Maximum Facilty Delivery Rate. Seller may, in accordance
with this Section 6.9 and upon written approval by PacifiCorp, increase the Maximum Facilty
Delivery Rate, unless, after such increase, under normal or average design conditions the Net
Output would exceed the Maximum Monthly Purchase Obligation in any given month.
PacifiCorp approval of such increase is conditioned on the Public Utilty Regulatory Policies
Act (16 U.S.C. 824a-3) and other applicable law requiringPacifiCorp to purchase the
incremental Net Output. If Seller increases the Maximum Facilty Delivery Rate,PacifiCorp
wil continue to pay for base Net Output at the rate(s) prescribed by Section 5 of this
Agreement, and PacifiCorp wil pay for incremental Net Output resulting from the increase to
the Maximum Facility Delivery Rate at the rate(s) prescribed by the Commission at the time of
PacifiCorp's approval, if granted, of the increase in the Maximum Facility Delivery Rate.
PacifiCorp shall specify in its approval, if granted, a reasonable means of distinguishing such
base Net Output from such incremental Net Output.
6.10 Access Rights. Upon reasonable prior notice and subject to the prudent safety
requirements of Seller, and Requirements of Law relating to workplace health and safety,
Seller shall provide PacifiCorp and its authorized agents, employees and inspectors
("PacifiCorp Representatives") with reasonable access to the Facility: (a) for the purose of
reading or testing metering equipment, (b) as necessary to witness any acceptance tests, and
(c) for other reasonable purposes at the reasonable request of PacifiCorp. PacifiCorp shall
without fuer action release Seller against and from any and all any and all loss, fines,
penalties, claim, actions or suits, including costs and attomey'sfees, both at trial and on
appeal resulting from actions or omissions by any of the PacifiCorp Representatives in
connection with their access to the Facilty, except to the extent that such damages are caused
or by the intentiona or grossly negligent act or omission of Seller.
SECTION 7: MOTIVE FORCE
Prior to the execution of ths Agreement, Seller provided to PacifiCorp a motive force plan
attached hereto as Exhibit F-l, demonstrating to PacifiCorp's reasonable satisfaction: (1) the
feasibility that Facilty Net Energy will equal.the Energy Delivery Schedule in Exhibit D for the
duration of this Agreement; and (2) the likelihood that the Facilty, under average design
conditions, wil generate at no more than 10 aMW in any calendar month, together with a
cerification from aLicensed Professional Engineer attached hereto as Exhibit F-2, ceifyng to
PacifiCorp that the Facility can reasonably be expected to perform as predicted in the motive
force plan for the duration of this Agreement. The motive force plan included, or was
accompaned by, all Required Facility Documents relating to Seller's right to use the motive
force as reasonably determined by PacifiCorp, which accompanying documents, if any, are
attached hereto as par ófExhibit F-1.

SECTION 8: METERING
8.1 Metering Adjustment. Metering wil be performed at the location and in the
maner specified in ExWbit B and the Generator Interconnection Agreement. All quantities of
energy purchased hereunder shall be adjusted to account for electrical losses, if any, between
the point of metering and the Point of Delivery, so that the purchased amount reflects the net
amount of power flowing into the System at the Point of Delivery. 3 The loss adjustment shall

SAMPLE ENERGY PURCHASE PIDCE CALCULATIONS
The following are samples of calculations of energy purchase prices using the formula and tables
in Section 5.1.
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.

SAMPtE CONFORMG ENERGY CAtCULATIONS
The followig are sample calculations for determing On-Peak and Off-Peak Conforming
Energy and Non-Conformng Energy for puroses of the payment formulae in Section 5.2 for a
given month. 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
