RE: CASE NO. PAC-E-12-09
IN THE MATTER OF THE ANNUAL REVISION OF QF VARIABLE ENERGY
PRICES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE 1992 AMENDMENTS
TO POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENTS BETWEEN IDAHO QFS AND
PACIFICORP.
Dear Ms. Jewell,
On May 14, 2012, the Idaho Public Utilities Commission staff provided an update to the
adjustable rate portion of avoided costs for QF contracts using variable costs associated with
Coistrip and for PacifiCorp contracts with 1992 amendments.
Rocky Mountain Power has reviewed and agrees that the updated prices have been calculated
correctly. The Company will utilize the new variable energy rates for existing contract deliveries
commencing July 1, 2012 extending through June 30, 2013.
If you have any questions please contact Ted Weston at [phone] or email
[e-mail].
Sincerely,
Ley K. Larsen
Vice President, Regulation & Government Affairs
