Dr. Reading's original page l5 contained a chart with an error in the calculation of the production costs REPLACEMENT PAGE # 15 IN DR. READING'S PREFILED DIRECT TESTIMONY PAGE I associated with Idaho Power's Bennett Mt. power plant. Instead of $253.87 per MWh the chart in the middle of the page should reflect a cost of $171. 28 per MWh. The corrected chart on page l5 does not change Dr. Reading's insights into the relationship (relative rankings) of Idaho Power's most expensive resource to its least expensive resource. In addition, the corrected chart does not necessitate any change in Dr. Reading's testimony as to how much less expensive PURPA projects are when compared to the costs of Idaho Power's other resources. Therefore no other changes are necessitated to Dr. Reading's testimony. Please substitute the attached for the original page l5 in your testimony notebooks.
