the2017IRP. These discs provide additional support for the analysis described within the bound
volumes of the document. Copies of the 2017 IRP are also available electronically on
PacifiCorp's website, at www.pacificorp.com. Confidential information in the 2017 IRP will be
provided to any party who has signed a non-disclosure agreement in this Case. PacifiCorp
requests that interested parties contact the state manager listed below for a copy of the non-
disclosure agreement that must be executed and submiued prior to obtaining a copy of the
confi dential information.
PacifiCorp submits the 2017 IRP filing in compliance with Order No.22299, Case No. U-l500-
165, dated January 1989; whereby the Idaho Public Utilities Commission ("Commission")
ordered biennial filings of the electric integrated resource plan. This plan is also submitted to the
Commission as the Resource Management Report on the Company's resource planning status.
The 2017 IRP contains information outlining how PacifiCorp has addressed the Commission's
integrated resource planning requirements (see Table B.2 "Appendix B - IRP Regulatory
Compliance").
T"he2017 IRP fully complies with the resource planning requirements in the Commission's rules,
and the Company respectfully requests that the Commission acknowledge the 2017 IRP in
accordance with those rules and fully support the 2017 IRP conclusions, including the proposed
action plan.
