BEFORE THE IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION
OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER FOR
AUTHORITY TO IMPLEMENT A
COMMERCIAL AI\D INDUSTRIAL
DEMAI\D RESPONSE PROGRAM
CASE NO. PAC.E-22.I3
APPLICATION
Rocky Mountain Power, a division of PacifiCorp (the "Company"), hereby petitions
the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (the "Commission") for authority to implement a
Class I commercial and industrial demand response program ("Wattsmart Business Demand
Response" or "Program") under the existing Schedule I 14 load management flexible tariff
within the demand side management ("DSM") portfolio.
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 86,500 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 pursuant to Idaho Code $$ 6l-301, 6l-307,61-622,
and 6l-623. In particular, Idaho Code $ 6l-623 empowers the Commission to determine the
propriety of proposed rate schedules, $$ 6l-307 and 6l-622 require Commission approval
prior to any change in rates, and $ 6l-301 requires Idaho retail electric rates to be just and
reasonable.

3. In Case No. PAC-E-21-16, Electric Service Schedule 114 - Load Management,
a flexible tariff was approved for the implementation of load management programs. The only
demand response program currently approved under Schedule I 14 is the Wattsmart Battery
program. The Company seeks to add the Wattsmart Business Demand Response Program to
the Schedule I l4 flexible tariff.
II. DISCUSSION
Proeram Overview
4. The Wattsmart Business Demand Response Program is designed to provide
financial incentives to customers who curtail load during Company initiated events. The
Program may be utilized to provide peak load reduction, contingency reserves, frequency
response, and other grid services to assist with effectively managing the overall electric grid.
The initial Program design will work with large commercial and industrial customers who are
served by the Company in the state of Idaho taking service under the Company's electric
service schedules listed on Schedule l9l - Customer Efficiency Services Rate Adjustment,
with curtailable loads greater than 500 kW that can be curtailed with no advance notice or
limited advance notice (7-minutes). An automated dispatch without advanced notice and a total
response time within 50 seconds is considered a real-time event, and a dispatch event with an
advanced notice and response within 7 minutes is considered an advanced notice event.
Company representatives and its consultants will meet with large commercial and industrial
customers to identify opportunities forparticipation. The Company and consultantwill develop
a site-specific demand response strategy for each participating customer and their facility.

Proeram Desien and Customer Participation
5. Advance notice curtailment events will elicit participation from a broad range
of large commercial and industrial customers through manual and automated curtailment.
Manual curtailment requires onsite staff to take manual action at the time an event is called.
For customers participating through manual curtailment, additional onsite event notification
equipment such as strobe lights and/or sirens could be employed to alert staff of demand
response events in addition to traditional notification methods such as email, text messages
and automated phone calls. For customers that participate with some level of automation,
remotely controlled relays may be installed on equipment with custom scripts for building
management and/or automation systems, and remotely controlled automatic transfer switches
may be installed for back-up generators or battery storage systems. Table I provides a list of
typical participating industries, examples of participating equipment, and curtailment actions.

Advance notice curtailment events are not typically used to manage low system frequency
situations and may be dispatched as needed without advanced notice to customers. Customer
participation in the frequency program will occur through automated signals from PacifiCorp's
Energy Management System to load control devices installed on customer equipment. Other
technology options may include installing Under Frequency Relays ("UFR") that trip facility
machinery and equipment off when the relay senses deviation in frequency below a preset
level. In some cases, UFR can be connected to uninterruptible power supply systems to
accommodate site-level load during low frequency events. Table 2 is a list of typical
participating industries, examples of participating equipment, and curtailment actions.

Incentives
6. Participating customers will be compensated annually based on the verifiable
load that is available for dispatch throughout the year. Participation will be voluntary, and
customers may also choose to opt-out of events. Customers who end their participation early
or opt-out of specific events will receive a pro-rated incentive. Table 3 includes the maximum
"up to" incentive levels for participating in real-time and advanced notice events.
Table 3 - Wattsmart Business Demand Incentives
The initially offered amounts for real time and advance notice individual incentives will be set
at $100/kW, and $175lkw if customer equipment is able to participate in both options.
Customer incentives are calculated based on available load (kW) during a program year and
adjusted by capacity factor (percentage of year load was available) and event performance
percentage. For example, if a customer had I MW of load on eligible equipment enrolled with
a 50 percent capacity factor for the advance notice program and the customer participated in
75 percent of the called events the customer would receive a $37,500 incentive.
((1,000 kW x $100) x 50 percent x 75 percent: $37,500) Program participants may have the
opportunity to participate in the real-time, advance notice, or both options.
Proiected Participation and Costs
7. The Program is forecast to achieve approximately 15 MW of curtailable
demand response by 2027 and to maintain that level of participation thereafter. Table 4

Schedule 114 Tariff and Flexible Tariff Tables
9. Attached hereto as Exhibit A are Electric Service Schedule I 14 tariff sheets
with proposed changes to enable the Wattsmart Business Demand Response Program while
still accommodating parameters set forth for the Wattsmart Battery Program approved in
PAC-E-21-16. Additionally, attached hereto as Exhibit B are proposed changes to the load
management flexible tariff to incorporate the Wattsmart Business Demand Response Program
incentives and other parameters. No changes have been made to the Wattsmart Batteries
Program details within Exhibits A and B other than formatting adjustments to maintain clarity
between load management programs. Pending approval of the Wattsmart Business Demand
Response Program in this case, the Program going forward will be managed pursuant to the
fl exible tariff process. I
III. COST EFFECTIVENESS
10. The cost-effectiveness analysis for the Program is attached hereto as
Confidential Exhibit C, and was based on the maximum "up to" incentive levels. As avoided
costs are considered proprietary on load control programs, the cost effectiveness results are
provided below with a "pass" designation, which equates to a benefit to cost ratio of 1.0 or
better. Due to the nature of demand response, and consistent with the cost effectiveness
methodology for other demand response programs, the Participant Cost Test is not applicable.
The Program is expected to be cost effective under the other benefit/cost tests.
