OF ROCKY MOTINTAIN POWER FOR
AUTHORITY TO REVERT THE BLUE
SKY BLOCK VALTIE TO lOO KILOWATT
HOURS FROM 2OO KILOWATT IIOURS
CASE NO. PAC-EA242
APPLICATION
COMES NOW, Rocky Mountain Power, a division of PacifiCorp (the "Compatry"),
and in accordance with Idaho Code $61-502, $61-503, and RP 052, hereby respectfully submits
this application ("Application") to the Idaho Public Utilities Commission ("Commission") to
revert the standard Blue Sky block size to 100 kilowatt hours ("kWh") from 200 kWh of
renewable energy in Electric Service Schedule Nos. 70 - Renewable Energy Rider and 73 -
Renewable Energy Rider Bulk Purchase. Proposed changes to Schedule Nos. 70 and 73 arc
attached hereto as Attachments A and B, respectively. In support of this Application, Rocky
Mountain Power states as follows:
l. Rocky Mountain Power is a division of PacifiCorp, an Oregon corporation,
which provides electric service to retail customers through its Rocky Mountain Power division
in the states of ldaho, Utah, and Wyoming. Rocky Mountain Power is a public utility in the
state of Idaho and is subject to the Commission's jurisdiction with respect to terms of electric
service and prices to retail customers pursuant to Idaho Code 6l-120. Rocky Mountain Power

APPLICATION OF
ROCKY MOI'NTAIN POWER
Page I
is authorized to do business in the state of Idaho and provides retail electric service to
approximately 86,500 customers in the state. Rocky Mountain Power is a public utility subject
to the jurisdiction of the Commission pursuant to Idaho Code $ 6l-129.
BACKGROUNI)
2. In 2000, Rocky Mountain Power launched the Blue Sky Program ('oProgram")
to allow customers wanting to be served by Renewable Energy Credits ("RECs") to offset
some or all of their usage from renewable energy sources while also supporting renewable
energy development. The Program is self-funded, and the funds collected are used to acquire
RECs and cover administration and Program growth costs. Funds remaining after REC
purchases and marketing/administration expenses are made available to help fund new
community-based renewable energy installations through a competitive grant application
process.
BLUE SKY BLOCK SIZE
3. The price of RECs from 2012-2019 remained at a stable low cost. This helped
inform the Company's decision to file an application in Case No. PAC-E-19-17 on
September 25,2019, requesting approval to increase the size of each Blue Sky block from 100
kWh to 200 kwh of renewable energy while maintaining the current price of $ I .95 per block
in an effort to meet growing customer demands in the renewable energy sector and to better
align with market conditions for REC prices. The Commission approved the Company's
application in OrderNo.34545 issued February 6,2020. The Company made similar filings in
all six states where the Program was offered, with the proposed changes being contingent upon
the Company receiving approval from all six states in orderto maintain uniformity in Program
management operations. Since 2020 however, the price of RECs has increased to a point where
APPLICATION OF
ROCKY MOLINTAIN POWER
Page2
it is unsustainable for the Program to maintain the size of each block at200 kWh. Accordingly,
the Company requests to revert the size of each block back to 100 kwh to address the market
fluctuation.
4. Table I below is a comparison forecast for 2022 to show estimated Program
expenditures ifthe block size remains at200 kWh versus if it reverts to 100 kWh. As reflected
in Table l, if the block size remains at 200 kWh, the Program will have just enough funds to
cover both REC purchases and administrative costs, but almost no funds available for
community renewable project grants. Conversely, if the block size reverts to 100 kwh, REC
purchases will be halved, enabling the Program to have enough funds to cover REC purchases
and administrative costs while maintaining funding for community renewable project grants.

CUSTOMER COMMUNICATION PLAI\I
5. If approved, the Company will noti$ customers of this adjustment in multiple
forums, including email and bill messaging, messaging on customers' annual "thank you" and
welcome letters, and notices prominently displayed on the Program website. All marketing
materials for the Program will also be updated to reflect the updated block size. An example
email communication to customers is attached hereto as Attachment C.

6. In addition to the proposed changes discussed above, some minor redlined
changes have been made to the Schedule 70 and 73 tariffsheets. These redlined changes are
meant to provide clarity and remove outdated or unnecessary language. For example,
customers do not need to be interconnected to the system in order to participate in the Program.

MODIFIED PROCEDURE
8. The Company believes that consideration of the proposals contained in this
Application do not require an evidentiary proceeding, and accordingly requests that this
Application be processed underModified Procedure, RP 201 et seq. allowing for consideration
of these issues by written submissions rather than by an evidentiary hearing. If however, the
Commission determines that an evidentiary proceeding is required the Company stands ready
to provide supporting testimony.
CONCLUSION
9. The Company respectfully requests that the Commission issue an order
authorizing the Company to revert the Blue Sky Block to 100 kwh from 200 kWh of renewable
energy credits with no adjustment to the Block price, as shown in Electric Service Schedule
Nos. 70 - Renewable Energy Rider and73 - Renewable Energy Rider Bulk Purchase Option,
provided as Attachments A and B to the Application, respectively.
WHEREFORE, Rocky Mountain Power respectfully requests that the Commission
issue an order authorizingthat this matter be processed under Modified Procedure and approve
reverting the Block size to 100 kwh from 200 kWh of renewable energy credits with an
April l, 2022 effective date.
