STIPULATION (PAC-E-13-04) - Page I
the Idatro Public Utilities Commission ('Commission') approve the Stipulation and all of its
tErms and conditions. See IDAPA 3 I .0 I .01 .27 l, 27 2, arlrd 27 4.
II. BACKGROUND
2. The following Stipulation represents an agreement between the Parties on a new
two year rate plan.
3. On March 1,2013, Rocky Mountain Power filed a Notice of Intent to file a
general rate case, and an Application requesting the Commission provide notice to parties
interested in entering into rate plan settlerne,nt discussions.
4. With a view toward resolving the issues raised in Rocky Morurtain Power's
Application in this proceeding representatives of the Parties met on April 19, 2013, andMay 2,
z0l3,pnrsuant to IDAPA 31.01.01.271 and272, to engage in settleme,nt discussions.
5. Based upon the settlement discussions between the Parties, 8s I compromise of
the positions in this proceeding and for other consideration as set forth below, the Parties
stipulate and agree as follows, subject to the approval by the Commission of tbe terrns and
conditions of this Stipulation as described below.
III. TERMS OF THE STIPULATION
BASE RATES
6. The Parties agree that the Stipulation is submitted to the Commission in lieu of a
general rate case and, upon approval by the Commission, the Parties agee Rocky Mountain
Power will not file any request with the Commission to increase its base rates in Idaho before
May 31, 2015, with new rates not effective prior to January 1,2016, with the difference in timing
STIPULATION (PAC-E-13-04) - Page 2
taking into consideration the Commission's normal notice and suspension periods for a general
rate case.
7. The Parties agree that base rev€,nue requirement for all schedules will be
increased by the uniform percentage amount of 0.77o/o. The Parties further agree that within
each schedule the increase will be recovered by increasing only energy rates by a uniform
percentage amount. These calculations will use 2012 norrralized billing determinants and the
rates will be effective January l,2Al4. The rates are shown on Attachment 1.
8. These rates allow recovery of the 27o/o of the Populus to Terminal tansmission
line invesfine,nt that was deemed plant held for future use in Order No. 32196. Commission
Order No.32432 determined that this investnent is now used and useful and shall be included in
rates on or after January 1,2014. The base rate increase is designed to collect approximately
$2.0 million annually from Idatro customers and is calculated as set forth in the tablebelow.

9. The Parties agrer- to the inclusion of and payrng for a resource adder for the Lake
Side II ge,neration facility that will be recovered through the ECAM at 100%, for the period that
the investment in the facility is not reflected in rates as a component of rate base, beginning
January l, 2015, subject to the Lake Side II generation facility having achieved commercial
operation as of that date. The ECAM deferral will be determined by multiplyrng the actual
megawatt-hours of generation from the Lake Side II generation facility by $1.99 per megawatt-
hour Idaho Resource Adder as more fully set forth in the table below:
The recovery of the Lake Side I[ resource adder will be capped after the first 2,729,500
megawatt-hours of generation, orrecovery of approximately $5.43 million from Idaho customers
through the ECAM,
Pursuant to Commission Order No.32771the Parties have agreed to modiff the ECAM
calculation by re,moving the wholesale sales line loss adjustnent from Monsanto and Agrium's
actual load used to calculate all deferral balances except for the Load Change Adjustnent
STIPULATION (PAC-E-13-04) - Page 4
Revenue (LCAR) portion of the ECAM deferral. This change will be effective for the ECAM
deferral period starting June 1, 2013 and ending on Novernber 30, 2013. I
Effective December 1,,2013, the ECAM deferral will be calculated on a total Idaho basis;
Monsanto and Agrium's share will not be calculated and defemed separately. The rates will be
designed based on energy sales data. Specifically, tr h past ECAMs, the proposed rates will be
calculated by effectively dividing the total target amount for Idaho customers by the e'nergy sales
data at their appropriate delivery voltage levels.
DEPRECIATION STI'DY AI\ID CARBON PLAIIT
10. The Parties request Commission approval of the proposed accounting heatnnent
for the Company to establish a regulatory asset that would allow the Company to defer, on a
monthly basis, any aggregate net increase or decrease in Idaho allocated depreciation expense for
the period beginning on the latter of January 7,2014, or the effective date in the Commission
Order approving new depreciation rates, until the date that new de,preciation rates are reflected in
customer rates.
I l. The Parties agree that the Company will be allowed to recover or be required to
refund the deferred depreciation expense beginning on the effective date of the next general rate
case. The balance shall be amortized over a period not to exceed l0 years from the effective date
of the next rate case. The Parties agree that depreciation of the Carbon Plant should not be
included in this deferral.
12. Commission Order No. 32701 authorized the Company to create a regulatory
asset to transfer the remaining Carbon Plant balances upon retiremeirt from electric plant in
I Accordingly, the deferral period for the ECAM application to be filed Febnrary l,zll4,will reflect two
different allocation methodologies. The current allocation methodology will be used for the December 1,2A12,
through May 31, 2013 period. The prcposed allocation will be used for the June 1,2013, through November 30,
2013 period.
STIPULATION (PAC-E-13-04) - Page 5
senrice and accumulated depreciation to be amortized from the date of hansfer to the regulatory
assets through Decernber 31,2020. The regulatory asset as of the date of transfer will include
the un-depreciated book balance assuming that existing depreciation rates were used prior to the
plant retirement date. The difference between the depreciation rate effective in 2014 and the
curre,nt depreciation rate based on the prior decornmissioning date of 2020 will be included in the
Remaining Carbon Balances regulatory asset until Carbon depreciation rates are updated in the
next general rate case.
13. The Parties agree to the creation of a regulatory asset for future recovery from
Idaho ratepayers of Idaho's allocated share of the prudently incurred Carbon Re,moval
Costs. The projected removal costs were identified in the calculation of the new depreciation
expense as part of Case PAC-E-13-02, which is subject to Commission review and approval.
14. The Parties agree that the Company shall be allowed to recover from customers
Idatro's share of the prudently incurred Carbon Removal Costs ov€r a reasonable period
determined by the Commission in a future proceeding. The amortization of the Carbon removal
costs will begin when the amortization expense is included in rates in the next ge,neral rate case.

Proposal would extend pricing plan for ldaho another two years
BOISE, Monday, June 3, 2013-Rocky Mountain Power has proposed a settlement with Idaho
utility regulators, consumer advocates and customer groups to continue a multi-year pricing plan
for its Idaho customers through 2015.
lf the settlement is approved by the Idaho Public Utilities Commission, prices for all customers
will increase January 1,2014, by less than I percent-less than $1 per month for the ffiical
residential customer. The settlement provides that no price increase from a general rate case will
occur prior to January l, 2016.
The plan provides predictability, helping business and residential customers of Rocky Mountain
Power set their budgets for electricity costs. ln turn, the pricing plan allows for a slight increase to
pay for the power lines and power plants serving Idaho customers.
"'We are sensitive to how electricity prices affect all our customers," said Vaughn Rasmussen,
director of Rocky Mountain Power operations in Idaho. "We have been very conscious about
controlling operating costs, and we have put offsome projects until later. Still, we always work to
make sure customers in ldaho have the electric service they expect and deserye."
Rocky Mountain Power has tips and products to help customers manage their bills and use
electricity wisely, as well as programs to help equalize or extend bill payments. One option that
has worked well for many customers in Idaho is our residential Time-of-Day rate. If you use
more than 900 kilowatt-hours per month, this option may benefit you. Call our customer service
representatives toll free for a personal calculation and other helpful hints any time, at l-888-221-
7070 or visit us on our web site, rockymountainpower.net, to learn more.
Even with this increase, Rocky Mountain Power's customers on average will enjoy some of the
lowest prices in the nation.
The public may comment on the proposed settlement during the commission's review process. A
copy of the company's testimony in support of this settlement is available for public review at the
commission's offices in Boise and at the company's offices in Rexburg, Preston, Shelley, and
Montpelier.

Keeping you informed
Pricing Plan For Idaho Extended Two Years
Rocky Mountain Power filed a notice of intent to file a general rate case on March l, 2013. The
Idaho Public Utilities Commission received the notice and invited parties to participate in
settlement discussions. These discussions resulted in an agreement involving the company, Idaho
Commission stafi consumer advocates and customer groups that will continue a multi-year
pricing plan for its Idaho customers through 2015. This precludes the need for any general rate
proceedings for another two years.
If approved, the company would be authorized to increase rates January 1,2014, by $2 million to
recover investment the commission previously approved. All customer rates would be increased
by a uniform 0.77 percent, less than one-tenth of a cent per kilowatt-hour. That is less than $l
per month (approximately $0.66) for the average residential customer using 810 kilowatt-hours
per month. Starting January 1,2015, the company would be allowed to defer up to $5.9 million
annually in costs associated with its new Lake Side II power plant, which is scheduled to begin
serving customers by summer 2014. Collection of these defened costs would not begin until
April2016. The settlement provides that no additional general price increase will occur until
January 1,2016.
This proposal must be approved by the commission. The public may comment on the proposed
sefflement during the commission's review process. A copy of the company's testimony in
support of this settlement will be available for public review at the commission's offices in Boise
and at the company's offices in Rexburg, Preston, Shelley, and Montpelier.
