BEFORE THE IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION

On August 25, 2022, Rocky Mountain Power, a division of PacifiCorp (“Company”)
applied for authority to implement a Class 1 commercial and industrial demand response program
(“Program”). The Company requested that this Program be implemented under the existing
Schedule 114 load management flexible tariff within the demand side management portfolio. The
Company asked that the Application be processed by Modified Procedure with an effective date
of January 1, 2023.
On October 20, 2022, the Commission issued a Notice of Application, set an intervention
deadline, and suspended the proposed effective date until February 15, 2023. Order No. 35568. P4
Production, L.L.C., an affiliate of Bayer Corporation (“Bayer”), and Idaho Irrigation Pumpers
Association, Inc. (“IIPA”) (collectively the “Intervenors”) intervened.
On December 8, 2022, the Commission issued a Notice of Modified Procedure establishing
public comment and Company reply deadlines. Order No. 35616.
At the Commission’s January 3, 2023, Decision Meeting, Staff conveyed to the
Commission that through discovery, the Company provided Staff new data specific to Idaho which
will take Staff additional time to process. To give Staff and the Intervenors adequate time to review
the Idaho-specific data, work with the Company to determine the relevant information necessary,
and make its subsequent recommendation, Staff recommended the Commission (1) vacate the
comment deadlines established in Order No. 35616 and issue new comment deadlines; and (2)
modify the suspension of proposed effective date. The Company and intervenors supported
modifying the deadlines as proposed by Staff.
