ROCKY MOUNAI POWER'S OPPOSITION TO CAPAI'S
REQUEST FOR INTERVENOR FUNING
Rocky Mounta Power hereby submits its opposition to the anticipated request to the
Idaho Public Utilties Commission (the "Commssion") from the Communty Action Parership
1
Association of Idaho ("CAP AI") for intervenor fuding filed in the above captioned proceeding.
In support of its opposition, Rocky Mounta Power states as follows:
1. Rocky Mounta Power expects the Communty Action Parership of Idaho to
file an application with the Commission seeking fuding for the fees and costs associated with
CAPAI's parcipation in Rocky Mountan Power's 2011 genera rate cas on December 23,
2011. Rocky Mountan Power has not yet received a copy of such an application.
2. Rocky Mounta Power respectfly submits to the Commssion that, if CAP AI's
request for fuding is equivalent to the fuding request it submitted in Case No. PAC-E-11-13,
tht amount would amount to more th 5% of the low-income weatherization anua fuding
leveL. Rocky Mountain Power does not believe that such a level of fuding is warted in light
of the fact that CAP AI did not raise issues or offer exper testimony on issues relevant to the
general rate case, and instead required the Commssion and paries to spend time on issues
associated with the other low-income case.
3. Accordingly, Rocky Mountain Power requests that the Commission allocate the
intervenor fuds to those paries raising substative issues in the general rate cas, and deny
CAP AI's request for intervenor fuding in the genera rate case. Rocky Mounta Power would
note that it has no objection to CAPAI's request for fuding in Case No. PAC-E-11-13, and
recommends that the Commission allocate fuds to CAP AI only for its paricipation in that case.
2
WHREFORE, Rocky Mountan Power respectfuly requests the followig:
1. That the Commssion grant Rocky Mounta Power's opposition to CAPAI's
anticipated request for intervenor fudig in its genera rate case, Cas No. P AC-E-11-12.
DATED ths 23rd day of December 201 1.
Respectfly submitted,
ROCKY MOUNTAI POWER
