ORDER NO. 36061

On October 3, 2023, PacifiCorp dba Rocky Mountain Power (“Company”), filed Tariff
Advice, PAC-TAE-23-01, proposing changes to its Electric Service Regulation No. 12—Line
Extensions (“Regulation No. 12”), effective January 1, 2024.
At the Commission’s October 17, 2023, Decision Meeting, Staff recommended the
Commission process the Tariff Advice as a formal case to allow for formal participation by
interested parties.
On October 23, 2023, the Commission converted the Tariff Advice to a formal case, issued
a Notice of Application, and set a deadline for interested parties to intervene. Order No. 35967. No
one petitioned to intervene. Staff filed comments to which the Company replied. No other
comments were received.
On December 27, 2023, the Commission issued Order No. 36039 directing the Company
to require all customers that request service exceeding 25,000 kVAs to take service at transmission-
voltage and under the appropriate schedule(s). In addition, the Company was ordered to file
updated tariffs as a compliance filing within 21 days.
On January 4, 2024, the Company submitted a compliance filing with updates to the tariffs
proposed in the original filing that will require all customers who request service exceeding 25,000
kVAs to take service at transmission-voltage.
At the Commission’s January 16, 2024, Decision Meeting, Staff presented a Decision
Memorandum and stated it had reviewed the Company’s filing made in compliance with Order
No. 36039 and recommended approval effective as of January 1, 2024.
COMMISSION FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
The Commission has jurisdiction over the Company and the issues in this case under Title
61 of the Idaho Code. Specifically, the Commission regulates “public utilities,” including “electric
corporations” that serve the public or some portion thereof for compensation. See Idaho Code §§
ORDER NO. 36061 2
61-119, -129, and -501. “The public utilities commission is hereby vested with power and
jurisdiction to supervise and regulate every public utility in the state....” Idaho Code § 61-501.
After reviewing the Company’s compliance filing and Staff’s subsequent recommendation,
we are satisfied with the Company’s updated Sheet No. 12R.8 of Regulation No. 12, as filed. The
January 4, 2024, filing fully complies with the Commission’s requirements in Order No. 36039.
Therefore, the Commission approves the Company’s revised tariff, effective as of January 1, 2024.
ORDER
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Company’s revised tariff as contained in its January
4, 2024 compliance filing is approved, effective as of January 1, 2024.
THIS IS A FINAL ORDER. Any person interested in this Order may petition for
reconsideration within twenty-one (21) days of the service date upon this Order regarding any
matter decided in this Order. Within seven (7) days after any person has petitioned for
reconsideration, any other person may cross-petition for reconsideration. See Idaho Code §§ 61-
626.
DONE by Order of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission at Boise, Idaho this 18th day of
January 2024.
