REQUIREMENTS TARIFF )
COMES NOW, Rocky Mountain Power, a division of PacifiCorp (the
"Company"), and in accordance with RP 052 and RP 201, et. seq., hereby applies to the
Idaho Public Utilities Commission (the "Commission") for authority to cancel electric
service Schedule No. 17, Standby Service, and replace it with a new electric service
Schedule No. 31, Partial Requirements Service.
In support of this Application, Rocky Mountain Power states:
1. Rocky Mountain Power does business as a public utility in the state of
Idaho and is subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission with regard to its public utility
operations.
APPLICATION OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER -1
2. This Application is filed pursuant to Idaho Code §§ 61-301, 61-307, 61-
622, and 61-623. In particular, Idaho Code § 61-623 empowers the Commission to
determine the propriety of proposed rate schedules, §§ 61-307 and 61-622 require
Commission approval prior to any increase in rates, and § 61-301 requires Idaho retail
electric rates to be just and reasonable.
BACKGROUND
3.Schedule 17, Standby Service, was initially approved by the Commission
in October 1976 and has had no customers for at least the last 15 years, based on readily
available data. Since approval of Schedule 17 the Company has implemented and refined
partial requirements service tariffs in Utah, Schedule 31, and Wyoming, Schedule 33,
both of which have seen more customer participation and interest.
4.Based on a recent Idaho customer inquiry, the Company evaluated Idaho
Schedule 17, Standby Service, in comparison with the partial requirements service
options in the Company's other states and determined that Idaho customers may benefit
from a similar option. Due to the significant modifications needed in Schedule 17 to
align a partial requirements service in Idaho with the other Rocky Mountain Power states
and the fact that no customers currently take service on Schedule 17, the Company
proposes to cancel the current Standby Service Schedule 17 and implement a new Partial
Requirement Service as Schedule 31.
5.Partial Requirements Service is designed for customers with on-site
generation, or whose electric service requirements are obtained from any service other than
the Company. Specifically, it consists of Back-up, Supplementary, Excess and
Maintenance power. A customer can contract for Partial Requirements Service for a
APPLICATION OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER -2
minimum of one year. Schedule 31 is not required where on-site generation is used only
for emergency supply during times of a utility outage. Service under Schedule 31 would
be available to high voltage customers with loads up to 15,000 kW. Consistent with
Schedule 9, General Service - High Voltage, customers with loads in excess of 15,000
kW will require special contract arrangements.
6.The proposed Schedule 31 rates are based on and aligned with Schedule 9
and the cost of service results from the last general rate case, Case No. PAC-E-1 1-12.
This assures consistency between Schedule 31 and the corresponding full requirement
rates on Schedule 9, under which eligible customers would otherwise take service

7.Exhibit No. 1 attached to Ms. Joelle Steward's testimony is a copy of the
Company's proposed tariff; Electric Service Schedule No. 31, Partial Requirements
Service - High Voltage.
MODIFIED PROCEDURE
8.Rocky Mountain Power believes that consideration of the proposals
contained in this Application does not require an evidentiary proceeding, and accordingly
the Company requests that this Application be processed under RP 201 allowing for
consideration of issues under Modified Procedure, i.e., by written submissions rather than
by an evidentiary hearing.

CASE NO. PAC-E-12-12
August 2012
I Q. Please state your name, business address and present position with
2 PacifiCorp, dba Rocky Mountain Power ("the Company").
3 A. My name is Joelle Steward. My business address is 825 NE Multnomah Street,
4 Suite 2000, Portland, Oregon 97232. My present position is Director of Pricing,
5 Cost of Service, and Regulatory Operations in the Regulation Department.
6 Qualifications
7 Q. Briefly describe your education and professional background.
8 A. I have a B.A. degree in Political Science from the University of Oregon and an
9 M.A. in Public Affairs from the Hubert Humphrey Institute of Public Policy at the
10 University of Minnesota. I joined the Company in March 2007 as Regulatory
11 Manager, responsible for all regulatory filings and proceedings in Oregon.
12 Between 1999 and March 2007, I was employed as a Regulatory Analyst with the
13 Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission. I assumed my current
14 position in February 2012.
15 Q. Have you appeared as a witness in previous regulatory proceedings?
16 A. Yes. I have testified in regulatory proceedings in Oregon and Washington.
17 Summary of Testimony
18 Q. Will you please summarize your testimony?
19 A. My testimony supports the Company's application to cancel electric service
20 Schedule 17, Standby Service, and replace it with a new electric service Schedule
21 31, Partial Requirements Service for high voltage customers.
Steward, Di - 1
Rocky Mountain Power
I Cancellation of Schedule 17, Standby Service
2 Q. Why is the Company proposing to cancel Schedule 17?
3 A. Schedule 17, Standby Service, was initially approved by the Commission in
4 October 1976 and has had no customers for at least the last 15 years, based on
5 readily available data. Since approval of Schedule 17 the Company has
6 implemented and refined partial requirements service tariffs in Utah, Schedule 31,
7 and Wyoming, Schedule 33, both of which have seen more customer participation
8 and interest.
9 Based on a recent customer inquiry, the Company evaluated the Idaho
10 Schedule 17 Standby Service in comparison with the partial requirements service
11 options in the other states and determined that Idaho customers may benefit from
12 a similar option. Due to the significant modifications needed in the tariff schedule
13 to align a partial requirements service in Idaho with the other Rocky Mountain
14 Power states and the fact that no customers currently take service on Schedule 17,
15 the Company proposes to cancel the current Standby Service Schedule 17 and
16 implement a new Partial Requirement Service as Schedule 31.
17 Proposed Schedule 31, Partial Requirements Service - High Voltage
18 Q. Please explain proposed Schedule 31, Partial Requirements Service.
19 A. Partial Requirements Service is designed for customers with on-site generation, or
20 whose electric service requirements are obtained from any service other than the
21 Company. Specifically, it consists of Supplementary, Back-up, Maintenance, or
22 Excess Power service. A customer can contract for Partial Requirements Service
23 for a minimum of one year. Schedule 31 is not required where on-site generation is
Steward, Di -2
Rocky Mountain Power

I used only for emergency supply during times of a utility outage. Service under

2 Schedule 31 would be available to high voltage customers with loads up to 15,000

3 kW. Consistent with Schedule 9, General Service - High Voltage, customers

4 with loads in excess of 15,000 kW will require special contract arrangements.

5 Exhibit No. 1 is a copy of the Company's proposed tariff Electric Service

6 Schedule No. 31, Partial Requirements Service - High Voltage.
7 Q. What is the basis for the proposed rates for Schedule 31?
8 A. The proposed Schedule 31 rates are based on and aligned with Schedule 9 and the

9 cost of service results from the last general rate case. This assures consistency

10 between Schedule 31 and the corresponding full requirement rates on Schedule 9,

11 under which eligible customers would otherwise take service. The Company is

12 requesting an effective date of January 1, 2013, for Schedule 31; therefore the

13 rates are designed to be consistent with the Year 2 rates for Schedule 9 approved

14 by the Commission in Order No. 32432 to be effective January 1, 2013.' More

15 specifically, the proposed rates for Schedule 31 are based on the following:

16 Component Basis for Proposed Rate

17 Customer Service Charge: Schedule 9 Customer Service Charge

18 Supplementary Power Rate: Schedule 9 Power Rate by season

19 Back-up Facilities Rate: Demand-related transmission costs

20 plus 13% of demand-related

21 generation costs from cost of service

22 Back-up Power Rate: Difference between Supplementary

23 Power Rate and Back-up Facilities

24 Rate
Stipulation Attachment 2— Settlement Rates Case No. PAC-E-1 1-12.
Steward, Di -3
Rocky Mountain Power

I Excess Power Rate: 2 times Supplementary Power Rate

2 Supplementary and Back-up

3 Energy Rate: Schedule 9 Energy Rate

4 Maintenance Service Rate One-half of Back-up Power Rate

5 Q. What is Supplementary service?

6 A. Supplementary service is electric service regularly provided by the Company for

7 use by a customer that is in addition to what the customer self generates. A

8 customer can contract with the Company for a specific amount of Supplementary

9 power in kW that the Company will agree to have available for delivery to the

10 customer. Power measurements up to this level, other than when Maintenance

11 power has been scheduled, will be billed as Supplementary power. The basis for

12 the Supplementary Power Rate is Schedule 9 power rate by season since the

13 customer would otherwise take service under Schedule 9 for full requirements.

14 Q. What is Back-up service?

15 A. Back-up service is electric service used to replace the customer's own generation

16 during outages at the facility. A customer can contract with the Company for a

17 specific amount of Back-up power in kW that the Company will agree to have

18 available for delivery to the customer. The Back-up power cannot exceed the total

19 output capacity of the customer's generation facility. Power measurements that

20 exceed the Supplementary contract power will be billed as Back-up power up to

21 the Back-up power contract level. Back-up service is comprised of a Back-up

22 Facilities charge based on the Back-up power contract level and a daily Back-up

23 Power charge based on kW for the 15-minute period with the greatest use of
Steward, Di -4
Rocky Mountain Power

I Back-up power during each day.

2 The Back-up rates are based on the Company's most recently filed cost of

3 service study in Idaho, Case No. PAC-E-11-12. The Back—up Facilities Rate is

4 calculated based on the high voltage service allocation of the demand-related

5 transmission costs, on a per unit basis, plus 13 percent of the demand-related

6 generation costs, on a per unit basis, from the cost of service study. The 13

7 percent for demand-related generation is based on the Company's generation

8 planning reserve margin and represents the costs incurred by the Company to

9 back-up the customer's generation. The seasonal split is based on the ratio of the

10 summer and winter Power Rates on Schedule 9.

11 The Back-up Power Rate is calculated as a per day rate for the difference

12 between the Supplementary Power Rate and the Back-up Facilities Rate. This

13 ensures consistency with what a customer would pay under Schedule 9.

14 Q. What is Maintenance service?

15 A. Maintenance service is for electric service during periods of scheduled outages at

16 the customer's generation facility. Scheduled maintenance power cannot exceed

17 the Back-up Power contract level. A customer may schedule maintenance power

18 for a maximum of 30 days per year, in either one continuous period or two

19 continuous 15-day periods. The rate for scheduled maintenance power is one-half

20 of the applicable Back-up Power Rate.

21 Q. What is Excess service?

22 A. Excess service is electric service used by the customer above the total contract

23 power for Supplementary service and Back-up or Maintenance service. The
Steward, Di - 5
Rocky Mountain Power

I Excess Power Rate is calculated at twice the Supplementary Power Rate because

2 this is additional power that the Company had not planned to serve.

3 Q. Why is the Company proposing a partial requirements tariff at this time?

4 A. As previously mentioned, the Company was contacted by a customer expressing

5 interest in Partial Requirements Service. As a result, the Company reviewed

6 Schedule 17 in comparison to the partial requirements tariffs in Utah and

7 Wyoming, with which the Company has had more practical experience. Based on

8 this experience, the Company decided to request approval of a similar tariff in

9 Idaho. Approval of this tariff in Idaho will allow customers to better evaluate their

10 options as they consider self generation. Accordingly, the Company requests that

11 the Commission approve Electric Service Schedule 31, Partial Requirements

12 Service.

13 Q. Does this conclude your testimony?

14 A. Yes, it does.

determined to the nearest kW.
TYPE OF SERVICE: Whether Power is considered scheduled maintenance, supplementary, back-
up, or excess is determined as follows. When the Customer has pre-scheduled Maintenance Service, the power
measurements from 0 kW up to the level equal to the pre-scheduled Back-up Power shall be considered
Scheduled Maintenance Power. Power measurements above the Scheduled Maintenance Power up to the level
equal to the Supplementary Contract Power shall be considered supplementary power. Power measured above
the sum of the Scheduled Maintenance Power and Supplementary Contract Power level up to the Total Contract
Power (the sum of the Supplementary Contract Power and the Back-up Contract Power) shall be considered
Back-up Power. Power measurements in excess of Total Contract Power shall be considered Excess Power.
When the Customer has not pre-scheduled Maintenance Service, power measurements from 0 kW up to
the level equal to the Supplementary Contract Power shall be considered Supplementary Power. Power
measurements above the Supplementary Contract Power level but less than Total Contract Power (the sum of
the Supplementary Contract Power and the Back-up Contract Power) shall be considered back-up power. Power
measurements in excess of Total Contract Power shall be considered Excess Power.
