Enclosure
II. EXTENDING THE POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENT
6. On December 2,2015, LVE contacted RMP requesting an extension to its
existing PPA contract which was set to expire September 30,2016. LVE and RMP
engaged in discussions regarding the term of the desired extension. Initially LVE
indicated they would like to extend the contract two to three years. LVE is a BPA
customer and anticipates utilizing the output from its generation facilities to serve future
load growth.
7. After further consideration in March 2016 LVE notified the Company it
would like a one-year extension. At that point LVE still needed to obtain a point to point
transmission agreement with BPA before the contract could be finalized. On June 5,
2016, LVE provided a signed copy of the addendum to RMP the addendum was
circulated intemally for review prior to signing on June 22,2016.
8. The confirming non-levelized energy rates for the LVE PPA were the avoided
cost rates for non-seasonal hydro projects approved by the Commission December 14,
2015. For all energy deliveries October l, 2016 through December 31, 2016 the non-
levelized energy rate is $34.06 per megawatt-hour. For energy delivered January 1,2017
through September 30,2017 the rate is $34.42 per megawatt-hour.
9. A copy of the addendum to the contract is provided as Attachment No. 1 and
the original PPA contract is provided as Attachment No.2 to this Application.
