ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE 2021 INTEGRATED RESOURCE PLAI\
Dear Ms. Noriyuki:
Rocky Mountain Power hereby submits for filing with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission its
2021 Integrated Resource Plan ("2021 IRP"). Copies of the 2021 IRP are also available
electronically on PacifiCorp's ("Company") website, at www.pacificorp.com/irp. An original
and seven (7) copies of PacifiCorp's 2021 IRP will be provided within a few days. As with the
2019 IRP, PacifiCorp will provide data discs for the 2021 IRP. These discs provide support and
additional details for the analyses included in the 2021 IRP. The Company plans to file these
data discs by September 15, 2021, which will contain both non-confidential and confidential
work papers.
PacifiCorp plans to supplement its filing with results of its 2021 IRP sensitivity studies no later
than September 30, 2021. A post-IRP filing public-input meeting has been scheduled October 1,
2021 to provide an opportunity for stakeholder discussion on the organization of the workpapers
on the data discs and results of the sensitivity studies.
Confidential information in the 2021 IRP and workpapers will be available to state regulators
and any party who has intervened in this case and signed a non-disclosure agreement. PacifiCorp
requests that interested parties contact the state manager listed below for a copy of the non-
disclosure agreement that must be executed and submitted prior to obtaining a copy of the
confidential information.
PacifiCorp submits the 2021IRP filing in compliance with Order No.22299, Case No. U-I500-
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 2021 IRP contains information outlining how PacifiCorp has addressed the Commission's
integrated resource planning requirements (see Tables B.l and B.2 in "Appendix B - IRP
Regulatory Compliance").
