APPLICATION OF
ROCKY MOUNTATN POWER
Attorneyfor Roclry Mountain Power
BEFORE THE IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION
OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER FOR
AUTHORITY TO DECREASE ELECTRIC
SERVICE SCHEDULE 191 - CUSTOMER
EFFICIENCY SERVICES RATE
CASE NO. PAC-E.18-12
APPLICATION
COMES NOW, Rocky Mountain Power, a division of PacifiCorp (the "Company"),
and in accordance with RP 052 and RP 201, et. seq., hereby petitions the Idaho Public Utilities
Commission (the "Commission") for authority to decrease Electric Service Schedule No. l9l
- Customer Efficiency Services Rate Adjustment, ("Schedule l9l") from 2.70 percentto 2.25
percent to better align revenue collections with demand-side management ("DSM")
expenditures while gradually reducing the current over-collected balance associated with
acquiring and administering DSM programs in Idaho.
In support of this Application, Rocky Mountain Power states:
l. Rocky Mountain Power is authorized to do business in the state of Idaho as a
public utility providing retail electric service to approximately 77,000 customers. Rocky
Mountain Power is a public utility subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission pursuant to
Idaho Code $ 6l-129.

2. This Application is filed pursuantto ldaho Code $$ 61-301, 6l-307,61-622,
and 6l-623. In particular, Idaho Code $ 6l-623 empowers the Commission to determine the
propriety of proposed rate schedules, $$ 6l-307 and 6l-622 require Commission approval
prior to any change in rates, and $ 61-301 requires Idaho retail electric rates to be just and
reasonable.
BACKGROUND
3. The Company has offered a variety of demand side management programs to
its customers since the 1970s. DSM programs offered by Rocky Mountain Power are designed
with the goal to be cost-effective. On March 2,2006, the Commission approved cost recovery
of DSM programs through Schedule l9l applied to customers'bills effective May 1,2006.
Schedule 191 was approved so Idaho customers can participate in cost-effective DSM
programs while providing the Company the ability to recover the costs of providing these
programs.
4. To monitor Schedule 191 collections and DSM program expenses, the
Commission implemented an annual reporting process to review balances and cost-
effectiveness. As of September 30,2018, the balance for Schedule l9l is over-collected by
approximately $2.1 million. Absent a reduction to current rates the Company expects future
revenue collections to continue to exceed DSM expenditures.
5. In March 2016, the Commission approved the Company's applicationl to
increase Schedule 191's rate from 2.10 percent to 2.70 percent of qualifying retail revenues.
Attachment A shows that at the current authorized rate, Schedule l9l revenues have fluctuated
I Order No. 33491, Case No. PAC-E-16-02.

between $5.1 to $5.2 million per year, approximately $800 thousand higher than actual
expenditures for 2018 expenditures, and slightly above the $4.9 million forecasted
expenditures for 2019.
6. In the March 2016 application, the Company projected DSM expenditures of
$4.4 million for 2016 and $5.4 million for 2017 . Actual expenditures for those years were $4.5
million and $4.0 million respectively.
7. The Company projected Schedule 191 revenue collections of $4.9 million in
2016 and $5.1 million in 2017. Actual Schedule 191 revenues were $5.0 million and $5.2
million respectively, slightly higher than projected.
8. Although DSM expenditures were lower than projected for 2016 and2017,the
Company exceeded the delivery targets set in the IRP. The Company acquired 39,066 MWh,
at generator, of energy efficiency savings in Idaho compared to the IRP selections of 33,370
MWh for the same period, exceeding the IRP energy efficient savings target by 5,696 MWh
over that two year period.
ADJUSTMENT TO SCHEDULE 191
9. The Company is committed to delivering cost effective energy efficiency
measures at the lowest cost possibly. To continue to deliver cost-effective programs and better
align Schedule 191 revenues with projected expenditures, the Company proposes to decrease
the collection rate from2.70 percent to2.25 percent, effective January 1,2019.
10. Attachment A summarizes the projected monthly DSM expenditures and
Schedule 191 revenues collected through December 31,2019, using the current authorized
collection rate of 2.70 percent. Based on these projections for expenditures and revenues by
the end of 2019 the DSM balancing account would be $ $2.2 million over-collected.

I 1. Attachment B contains a similar balancing account analysis as Attachment A
excepttherateforSchedule 191 hasbeenadjustedto2.25 percenteffectiveJanuary 1,2019,
as proposed in this Application and extended through 2021. Assuminga2.25 percent collection
rate for Schedule 191 effective January 1,2019, with the same level of DSM expenditures, the
balance in the deferred account is projected to be under-collected by $189,516 as of
December 31,2021.
12. To begin decreasing the current over-collected balance, projected to be $1.9
million at the end of 2018, and gradually align revenues with expenditures over a 3-year period,
the Company proposes to decrease Schedule 191 rate from 2.70 percent to 2.25 percent.
Attachment C shows the rate impact by customer class of this change.
13. At2.25 percent annual revenue collectionwould be approximately $4.4 million.
This rate decrease results in an approximate $5 per year reduction to the average residential
customer using 800 kWh per month. Attachment D contains a clean and legislative copy of the
Company's revised tariff sheets for Schedule 1 91 .

Rocky Mountain Power proposes decrease
to energy efficiency charge
BOISE, Idaho, Nov. 9, 2018-In planning to meet the electricity needs of
customers, Rocky Mountain Power works with customers to help them use
electricity more efficiently. The utility promotes energy efficienry and programs
that coordinate when electricity is used, as well as reduce overall electrical use to
help customers save money. These programs are funded by the Customer
Efficiency Services charge, which appears as a line item on the customer bill.
The company filed a proposal November 9,2018 to decrease the charge for all
customer classes (except tariff contracts) from 2.7 percentto 2.25 percent of each
customer's bill. If approved by the Idaho Public Utilities Commissioru the 0.45
percent decrease would reduce a typical residential customer's bill by about $5
per year. These revenues do not affect company profits; they allow the company
to recover the investment it has already made on behalf of customers to provide
energy efficienry programs. The company request includes a proposed effective
date of January'1,, 2019.
The reduction is possible because Rocky Mountain Power has identified more
efficient ways to deliver these programs to customers. Energy efficienry remains
an important part of the company's mix of resources and efficienry targets are
expected to increase each year through 202L.
"Customers benefit two ways from these programs," said Tim Solomory regional
business manager in Rexburg. "First, participating customers benefit from lower
bills as they take advantage of these programs and use electricity more
efficiently. Second, all customers benefit whether they participate in the
programs or not because the cost of electricity saved through these programs is
about half the cost of electricity generated by a new power plant. It's part of our
balanced approach to use a variety of cost-effective methods to provide
electricity to our customers."
Programs currently provided for residential customers include cash incentives
for energy efficient appliances, improved insulatiory energy efficient windows
and low income weatherization. For business customers, the wattsmart Business
program provides services and incentives to customers who complete energy
efficiency projects. The Irrigation Load Control program focuses on operational
coordination of summer irrigation pumping systems. Specific details of these
programs are available on the company's Web site,
https : //www. rockvmountainpower.net/env/ws/index.html.
The public can comment on the proposed rate change as the commission reviews
the application. The commission must approve the proposed change before it can
take effect. A copy of the company's application is available for public review at
the commission offices in Boise or on its homepage at www.puc.idaho.gov.
