PAC-E-16-09 APPLICATION Rocky Mountain Power, a division of PacifiCorp ("Company" or "Rocky Mountain Power"), in accordance with Idaho Code $ 6l-503, RP 52, and Order No.29316, hereby respectfully petitions the Idaho Public Utilities Commission ("Commission") for an order approving the updated Qualifuing Facility ("QF") variable energy price pursuant to the terms of the 1992 amendments to Idaho QF power purchase agreements. In support of this Application, Rocky Mountain Power represents as follows: L INTRODUCTION AI\D BACKGROT]NI) On July I ,2003, the Company sent a letter notifring the Commission of a July 1 ,2003, revision to the variable energy price for QFs holding certain power sales contracts with the Company. These thirteen QF contracts included a Commission approved 1992 Amendment outlining the methodology that would be used for determining the variable energy price component of the avoided cost rate. As stated in the 1992 Amendment beginning July l, 2003, and continuing throughout the term of the power purchase agreements, including any extensions, the variable energy rate will be calculated in accordance with the specified methodology described below. The variable energy rate will be the sum of PacifiCorp's fuel cost and Colstrip variable O&M cost. PacifiCorp's fuel costs will be the average cost of fuel consumed in its Utah Division, specifically the Carbon, Hale, Naughton, Huntington and Hunter generating plants. If any of the specified plants does not operate in any calendar year, such plant will be excluded from the calculation of the average cost of fuel. The average cost of fuel will be calculated using the data reported in the Company's FERC Form l. In the event that the FERC Form I ceases to include the cost of fuel or net generation data, comparable data based upon the Company's normal accounting practices shall be used. Pursuant to Order No. 23738, variable O&M cost will be calculated based on the variable costs associated with the operation of Colstrip, a coal power generating facility in southeast Montana excluding the generation tax and the line loss adjustments. II. VARIABLE ENERGY RATE The average cost of fuel consumed by the specified Utah division coal plants for calendar year 2015 was $22.10 per megawatt hour. The variable operation and maintenance expense at Colstrip generating facility for 2015 was $1.51 per megawatt hour. Therefore the variable energy rate applicable to deliveries commencing July 1,2016, extending through June 30, 2017, is $23.61 per megawatt hour. Attachments are provided with this Application supporting these calculations, together with the relevant pages from the Company's FERC Form 1 for year ending December 31,2015. III. MODIFIED PROCEDTTRE Rocky Mountain Power believes that a hearing is not necessary to consider the issues presented herein and respectfully requests that this Application be processed under Modified Procedure, i.e., by written submissions rather than by hearing in accordance with RP 201 et seq.
