CASE NO. PAC-E-19-I9
APPLICATION OF
ROCKYMOUNTAIN POWER
Rocky Mountain Power, a division of PacifiCorp ("Company"), pursuant to Idaho
Code $$ 61-502 and 61-507 and Rules of Procedure 052, l2l and 123, does hereby apply to
the Idaho Public Utilities Commission, ("Commission"), for authority to modifr Electric
Service Regulation No. 12 - Line Extensions and Electric Service Schedule 300 - Regulation
Charges. In support of this Application, Rocky Mountain Power represents as follows:
BACKGROUND
1. Rocky Mountain Power provides retail electric service to approximately 82,000
customers in Idaho as a public utility pursuant to Idaho Code $ 6l-129 and is subject to the
jurisdiction of the Commission.
2. The Company last filed an application for changes to the line extension
APPLICATION OF
ROCKY MOI]NTAIN POWER
Page I
.'..,.
regulations in 2016.1 The purpose ofthe application was to change residential allowances from
transformer, meter, and service drop to $ 1,550, which was intended to be revenue neutral based
on the cost of service study from the Company's last Idaho general rate case.2 The allowance
for residential developers was changed from providing the transformer to an allowance of
$1,000 per lot. Non-residential allowances changed from a dollar per kilowatt to nine times the
estimated average monthly revenue. On February 24, 2017, Commission Order No. 33721
approved these modifications to Regulation No. 12 - Line Extensions.
3. In 2008, the Company filed Case No. PAC-E-08-06, requesting modifications
to the overhead line extension refund process for residential customers. In Order No. 30684
the Commission approved the modifications, which improved the likelihood of refunds for the
initial customer by requiring each ofthe next four customers who connected to the line to pay
20 percent ofthe line extension costs and allowing the initial customer the opportunity to waive
refunds if it anticipated additional customers could provide a larger refund. These payments
are refunded to the initial customer, reducing the cost and risk for those customers and
increasing the probability that additional customers will pay to connect rather than wait for
five years for the refund period to elapse, which increased the probability of a refrurd to the
initial customer.
RELIEF
4. This Application seeks authorization to modi$ Electric Service Regulation No.
12 - Line Extensions, to clarifu the definition of line extensions by adding substations and
distribution or transmission facilities, and proposes that the same refund process apply to
I Case No. PAC-E- l6- 13
2 Case No. PAC-E- l l-07
APPLICATION OF
ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER
Page 2
customer-provided underground work as is applied to customer line extension advances.
5. Clarifting language was added to Tariff sheet No. 12.2, section 1.d - Extension,
to identifu that substations are included in the line extension definition and are thus eligible for
line extension allowances and refunds. Clari$ing language was added to Tariff sheet 12.3,
section I .k - Refunds, to include eligibility for refunds for customer-provided underground
facility line extension work and customer-acquired right-of-way, and define the refund base
amount. The refund base amount for customer advances is the advance for extension costs that
meet the eligibility criteria for an extension allowance. Generally this occurs when the eligible
extension costs exceed the maximum potential allowance. The refund base amount for
applicant-acquired right-of-way will be determined by using the Company's standard right-of-
way costing approach. For private property this is a percentage ofthe right-of-way land value
as determined from the county assessor's property land value. Where there are multiple right-
of-way segments, the refund is an average of the county assessor's property land value. The
refund base amount for applicanrprovided labor and material on an underground extension
will be determined by using the Company's average costs for standard trenching, conduits and
vaults (equipment foundations) with footages and sizes as per the Company's design.
6. Sheet No. 12.4, section 2.a.1 - Standard Residential Extension Allowances, was
modified to provide the same residential extension allowance for upgrades necessitated by
added load as is available for new residences. The language to include refunds associated with
additional customers when tlere is customer-provided underground work and customer-
acquired right-of-way was added to Tariff Sheet No. 12.5, section 2.a.2 - Residential
Extensions Additional Customers Advances and Refunds, and Sheet No. 12.6 section 2.b.3 -
Remote Service Additional Customers Advances and Refunds.
APPLICATION OF
ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER
Page 3
7. Edits were proposed for Sheet No. 12.7 section 2.e - Residential Underground
Extensions, to clariff that the Company will no longer provide the items for underground
extensions at the customer expense, the customer must provide these items. Sheet No. 12.7,
section 3 - Non-Residential Extensions, language was added for applicant's load of a
speculative natue or ofquestionable permanency either in duration or size ofload that exceed
the Company's engineering loading limits for distribution voltage shall take delivery at
transmission voltage.
8. Sheet No. 12.7, section 3.a - Non-Residential Extension Allowances Delivery
at 46,000 Volts and Above, clarifies that other than the extension allowance for non-residential
customers who are served at 46,000 volts and above, the customer is subject to the same
extension provisions as non-residential customers who are served at less than 46,000 volts.
Also Sheet No. 12.7, sections 3.b.1 and 3.b.2 - Non-Residential Extension Allowances
Delivery at less than 46,000 Volts, covers contract minimums for non-residential customers
who are remote or have loads in excess of 1,000 kilovolt-amps (*kVA). Currently the tariff
requires these customers to pay a contract minimum billing for as long as service is taken, but
in no case less than five years. The Company proposes this be modified to no less than 5 years
and no more than 30 years.
9. Sheet No. 12.8, section 3.c - Non-Residential Additional Customer Advances
and Refunds, was modified to speciff that during the first five years following construction of
a non-residential line extension upgrade, each ofthe next four 1,000 kVA or greater applicants
utilizing those facilities must pay the Company, prior to connection, their proportionate share
ofthe upgrade costs. The language applying to refunds associated with additional customers
when there is customer-provided underground work and customer-acquired right-of-way was
Page 4APPLICATION OF
ROCKY MOTINTAIN POWER
also added.
10. Sheet Nos. 12.9 and 12.10, section 4.a - Non-Residential Underground
Extensions, was expanded to include a paragraph defining the teatment of unimproved
planned developments. Applicants for service in an unimproved development will receive
service under the provisions for residential and non-residential extensions, but with the design
and installation of the extension within the unimproved development including
accommodation for future loads on platted lots along the route ofthe extension.
11. Sheet No. 12.10, section 4.c - Extensions to Non-Residential and Residential
Planed Developments Refunds, was modified to clari$ that while the Company does not
provide refirnds on developer advances for facilities inside developments for the exclusive
purpose of serving the development, a developer who paid a refundable advance may receive
refunds when an applicant outside the development receives power from the extension by
connecting to a primary voltage line installed to, alongside or through the development. Also,
language was added to include refunds associated with additional customers when there is
customer-provided underground work and customer-acquired right-of-way.
12. An extension exception was added to Sheet No. 12.13, section 5.e -
Nonresidential Remote Loads in Isolated Locations. The Company will fumish facilities for
remote service for nonresidential loads. However, ifthe cost to provide service to the point of
delivery is more than five times the estimated arnual revenue from the remote nonresidential
Customer, the Contract Minimum Billing will continue for as long as service continues unless
and until the load is no longer distant nor isolated. An isolated location is one where additional
development is unlikely due to geographical constraints. This is an exception to the change on
SheetNo 12.7 (sections 3.b.1&2) that limits the Contract Minimum Billing to no more than 30
APPLICATION OF
ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER
Page 5
years.
13. Clarifications were added to Sheet No. 12.14, section 6.a - Relocation of
Facilities, to speciff that an applicant or customer may request, and if adequate clearances can
be maintained and adequate easements/rights-of-way can be obtained, the Company will
relocate distribution facilities on to, or adjacent to, tle customer's premises, and/or, replace
existing overhead distribution facilities with comparable underground. If existing easements
are insufficient for the new facilities, the applicant or customer is responsible for obtaining
new easements. Substation facilities and transmission voltage facilities will be relocated at the
discretion of the Company.
14. The Company is also requesting authorization to update the facilities charges
in Electric Service Schedule No. 300 used for line extension contract minimum billings. The
proposed facilities charges were updated on June 26,2019, based on 2018 data.
