Report to the Idaho State Legislature
December 2009

Idaho Office of Energy Resources
Idaho Public Utilities Commission

December 11, 2009

Senators and Representatives,

The 2007 Idaho Energy Plan, written in compliance with House Concurrent Resolution
62, directs that the “Energy Division (now the Office of Energy Resources) and the
Public Utilities Commission should report to the Legislature every two years on the
progress of Idaho state agencies, energy providers and energy consumers implementing
the recommendations in this Energy Plan.” (Action Item I-3, page 65, 2007 Idaho Energy
Plan.)

The Office of Energy Resources and the Public Utilities Commission, acting jointly,
hereby submit the 2009 report. We consider this biennial filing to be a critical component
to helping achieve the state’s goal of ensuring a reliable, low-cost energy supply,
protecting the environment and promoting economic growth. Filing this report every two
years, as the Energy Plan requires, will help us evaluate our progress and set future goals.

You will find that we firmly believe the State is making progress in meeting many of the
plan’s objectives. We also do not hesitate to point out those areas where some of the
plan’s recommendations are best met with other approaches and methodologies.

As stated in Energy Plan’s introductory letter from the Interim Committee on Energy,
Environment and Technology, “Idaho’s existing energy resource base has resulted in
some of the lowest electricity and natural gas prices in the country, providing enormous
benefit to customers.” To maintain that benefit and yet meet the significant challenges of
the future to provide energy supply at reasonable rates, the Office of Energy Resources
and the PUC concurs with the Committee’s statement that we need a “pragmatic,
common-sense approach.” We believe that the actions taken thus far, and those planned,
will prepare us well for the future.

Sincerely,

Paul Kjellander
Director, Idaho Office of Energy Resources

Jim Kempton
President, Idaho Public Utilities Commission

Actions
Conservation, Energy Efficiency and Demand Response

E-1 – All Idaho utilities should fully incorporate cost-effective conservation, energy
efficiency and demand response as the priority resources in their integrated
resource planning (IRP).
Legislative Guidance

The Idaho Public Utilities Commission (PUC) requires that regulated utilities file an
Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) every two years. Respective IRPs detail utilities’ plans
for meeting customer demand over 10 years. 1 In IRPs, demand-side resources are
compared directly to supply-side resources, including renewable resources. To the extent
IRP forecast analyses are valid, a utility has incentive to pursue those resources that
reduce cost and risk or else face the risk of the Commission denying cost recovery on
capital investment and operational cost.

The Commission recognizes cost-effectiveness from the Total Resource Cost (TRC)
perspective as an important criterion for assessing the appropriateness of utility demand-
side management (DSM).

Two other cost-effectiveness perspectives are also important: 1) the utility cost (UCT)
perspective and 2) the participant cost perspective. In Order No. 28894, the PUC ordered
Idaho Power to use all three of the above tests in assessing the cost-effectiveness of its
1 Idaho Power’s 2008 IRP update can be found on the Commission Website at www.puc.idaho.gov. Click
on the electric icon, then on “Closed Electric Cases,” and scroll down to IPC-E-06-24. Click on “2008 IPR
Update.pdf.” The update is also available at this link:
http://www.puc2.idaho.gov/intranet/cases/elec/IPC/IPCE0624/200806202008%20IRP%20UPDATE.PDF

To access the Commission’s order granting Idaho Power an extension to file its 2009 IRP to Dec. 31, 2009,
go to “Closed Electric Cases,” and scroll down to Case No. IPC-E-09-13. For press release re: Avista’s
latest IRP (AVU-E-07-8, Order No. 30464), see Appendix A. For press release re: PacifiCorp’s latest IRP
(PAC-E-09-06), see Appendix B.
For the press release on PacifiCorp’s latest IRP (PAC-E-09-06), see Appendix B.)

The Committee intends that Idaho utilities should make cost‐effective conservation,
energy efficiency and demand response the highest priority resources in their IRPs.
The Committee recommends the “Total Resource Cost” perspective as the
appropriate test of the cost‐effectiveness of conservation measures, and provides the
following definition of cost‐effectiveness as guidance: “Cost‐effectiveness of a
conservation measure means that the lifecycle energy, capacity, transmission,
distribution, water and other quantifiable savings accruing to Idaho citizens and
businesses exceed the direct costs of the measure to the utility and participant.”
6

DSM programs. Avista Utilities’ and Rocky Mountain Power’s assessment of their DSM
programs consistently include cost-effectiveness evaluations using all three of these tests.

The TRC cost-effectiveness test ensures that the sum of the incremental cost of the
energy efficiency improvement plus the program administrative costs is less than the sum
of quantifiable benefits. Under the TRC test, quantifiable benefits include avoided costs
of electricity, natural gas, other fuels, water, sewer, detergent, labor, etc. The TRC treats
incentives paid by the utility to entice customer participation as a transfer payment, rather
than as a cost. Thus, use of the TRC as the only cost-effectiveness test invites utilities to
pay higher incentives than necessary because TRC cost-effectiveness can only increase,
never decrease, with higher incentive payments. Paying customers higher than necessary
incentives is contrary to Order No. 22299, the 1989 order that is the genesis of utility
IRPs. In addition, the PUC cannot ignore the fact that the TRC’s inclusion of the non-
utility savings in cost-effectiveness increases the discrepancy between who pays the
DSM costs and who benefits from the programs.

Measuring cost-effectiveness from the UCT perspective is important for ensuring that the
utility’s overall, long-term costs are reduced by DSM programs. The UCT counts
incentive payments by the utility to entice customer participation as a program cost.
Thus, the use of this test encourages utilities to limit incentive payments to only the
amount necessary to motivate the optimal amount of customer participation, thereby
maximizing net benefit for its customer base.

Cost-effectiveness from the participant perspective ensures that customers who are
willing and able to participate in a DSM program will, on average, not be economically
harmed by their participation. Use of the participant test helps ensure credibility of utility
DSM programs and, thus, long-term acceptance by utility customers.

For further explanation of the importance of assessing cost-effectiveness from multiple
perspectives, and for more detailed information on each of the above and other cost-
effectiveness tests, see the National Action Plan for Energy Efficiency’s (NAPEE)
Understanding Cost-Effectiveness of Energy Efficiency Programs: Best Practices,
Technical Methods and Emerging Issues for Policy Makers, November 2008, available
online at http://www.epa.gov/cleanenergy/documents/cost-effectiveness.pdf

E-2 – The Idaho PUC should establish annual targets for conservation achievement
based on estimates of cost-effective conservation in the service territories of Idaho’s
investor-owned utilities.

From a statutory standpoint, the Idaho Public Utilities Commission has a regulatory role,
but it does not manage investor-owned utilities; nor does the Commission currently have
the resources to assume such responsibilities.

While it is possible for the PUC to annually establish specific targets for conservation
achievement, doing so would require new or reassigned resources at the PUC and at each
7

of the utilities. The effort would require extensive formal process involving defining of
public purpose for each target; estimation of benefits, or lack thereof; tracking target
compliance, and reviewing appeals for reconsideration where penalties are assessed for
failure to achieve specific targets.

Because of the complexity of the issues above, and because achievable cost-effective
conservation comes as a mix of customer participation and utility Demand-Side
Management (DSM) programs, the Commission has not established specific conservation
targets. The Commission has instead directed utilities to pursue all available cost-
effective DSM and conservation. For example, in regard to the Commission’s approval of
Idaho Power’s Evander Andrews peaking power plant, the Commission directed the
Company to “ ... diligently and vigorously pursue all available cost-effective DSM,
conservation and pricing options that could potentially displace or defer the need for
additional future peaking generation”. (Order No. 30201).

The compelling reason for directing utilities to pursue all available cost-effective DSM
and conservation is that establishing pre-set targets implies knowledge of cost-
effectiveness parameters years in advance of the time actual data is collected to verify
front-end decisions. In reality, most cost-effectiveness parameters are continually
changing. It is impossible to accurately foresee future supply-side costs and restraints;
future development of hardware and software efficiencies including their prices and
useful lives; the delivery complexity of future programs and the evaluation costs. It is
also difficult to estimate future program participation levels because participation is
dependent on an evolving myriad of economic, social and governmental priorities, such
as tax incentives, building codes and appliance standards.” The “prudency” standard in a
front-end decision to acquire cost-effective DSM and conservation is discussed under the
E-1 action item in the form of the TRC test, UTC test and participant cost perspective.

It is important to note that regional efforts are under way to assess the role that
conservation measures can have on regional energy needs. The Office of Energy
Resources participated in the Northwest Power and Conservation Council’s Regional
Technical Forum and Conservation Resource Advisory Committee during the
development of the draft Sixth Northwest Power Plan. Energy conservation is a
significant portion of the Council’s plan to supply energy for the Northwest into the
future.

When the Sixth Northwest Power Plan is completed, it can be viewed at
http://www.nwcouncil.org/. This reference to the Sixth Northwest Power Plan is not
intended as endorsement of the end product, but merely seeks to provide additional
references to assist policy makers in their effort to understand regional perspectives
associated with energy efficiency and conservation.

E-3 – The Idaho PUC should establish and periodically update an avoided cost
benchmark for each utility to be used in evaluating the cost-effectiveness of
8

conservation and renewable resource investments and in calculating payments to
qualifying facilities under the federal Public Utility Regulatory Policy Act (PURPA).

Because avoided cost is defined as the cost of the next unit of power a utility would
acquire if there were a need for additional generation, it is often argued that avoided cost
used to value a qualifying small-power PURPA project should also be used to evaluate
cost-effectiveness of proposed conservation projects or renewable resource options.
Under this proposition, it is logical to suggest that an “avoided cost benchmark” for each
utility could be established and updated periodically. In actual practice, the benchmark
concept is oversimplified.

To accommodate small (10MW or less) PURPA projects in Idaho, the Commission has
established a published avoided-cost rate based on a surrogate avoided resource (SAR)
that is currently defined as a combined-cycle combustion gas turbine. This over-
simplified methodology works relatively well for small base load-type resources. It does
not work well for variable renewable energy resources because of the difference in SAR
operating characteristics. Instead, the utility uses its Integrated Resource Plan process
with actual planned resources and forecasted market prices to establish an avoided cost
for each proposed renewable project. The IRP and its various parameters are published
and periodically updated. The avoided cost associated with this methodology more
accurately reflects the generation costs that a utility expects to avoid by acquiring any
other resource regardless of operating characteristics. It also forms the basis of the cost-
efficient resource acquisition calculations conducted to meet the standards of E-1.

Published PURPA avoided- cost rates for small qualifying facilities were most recently
updated in March 2009 in response to a joint petition from the investor-owned utilities
and other parties to 1) update the non-fuel cost components of the SAR and 2) reflect the
new natural gas price forecast from the Northwest Power and Conservation Council.2
Utility IRPs used to determine actual planned generation costs avoided by proposed
renewable resources are updated every two years.

The PUC is continuously evaluating both the processes used by utilities to deliver
demand-side programs and the assumptions and measurements used to determine cost-
effectiveness. The Commission is currently working with utilities to establish procedures
to annually report demand-side process improvement and to periodically update program
impact evaluation, measurement and verification (EMV) practices.

E-4 – The Idaho PUC should establish appropriate shareholder incentives for
investor-owned utilities that achieve the conservation targets established by the
PUC. Shareholder incentives may include, but are not limited to:

i. Recovery of revenues lost due to reduced sales resulting from conservation
investments;
ii. Capitalization of conservation expenditures;

2 Case No. GNR-E-08-02, Order No. 30744. For press release, see Appendix C.
9

iii. A share of the net societal benefits attributable to the utility’s energy efficiency
programs;
iv. An increase in the utility’s return on equity for each year in which savings targets
are met; or
v. “Decoupling” of utility revenues from sales.

The PUC has not established “conservation targets” as explained under E-2 except to
“achieve all available DSM, conservation and energy efficiency.”

However, in March 2007, the Commission adopted one of the first electric decoupling
mechanisms in the nation designed to remove financial disincentives for Idaho Power
Company to implement energy efficiency programs. (Case No. IPC-E-04-15, Order No.
30267) The Fixed Cost Adjustment (FCA) is a mechanism that separates utility sales
from revenues by allowing Idaho Power to recover its fixed costs of providing power, as
established in the most recent rate case, regardless of reduced sales due to energy
efficiency and demand side management programs. In exchange for allowing Idaho
Power this recovery, the utility committed to aggressively and cost-effectively pursue
energy efficiency and demand side management programs. Idaho and the PUC are soon
to be in the final year of a three-year pilot and Idaho Power has applied to have the FCA
made permanent.3

Also, each of the three major investor-owned utilities has energy efficiency riders in
place that allow them to recover costs of demand-side management, conservation and
energy efficiency programs. The Commission has been willing to grant utility requests to
significantly increase these riders over recent years to encourage conservation, energy
efficiency and DSM.

On June 1, 2009, the Commission increased the Idaho Power rider from 2.5 percent to
4.75 percent. According to Idaho Power’s application, energy efficiency programs in
2008 resulted in 107,484 megawatt-hours of energy savings, a 72 percent increase over
the 2007 total of 62,544 MWh. DSM programs that reduce demand on Idaho Power’s
system provided 58 megawatts of demand reduction in 2008 compared to 48 MW in
2007. 4

The commission recently completed a review of Avista’s DSM and energy efficiency
programs in conjunction with its earlier approval of an increase in the rider from 2.24
percent to 3.27 percent. Avista’s DSM and efficiency efforts are based on providing
financial incentives or rebates for customer participation in more than 30 programs.
Avista continues to exceed targets in electric and gas savings as the result of these
programs for its Washington and Idaho customers. More than 110 average megawatts of
demand-side management programs are now in place on the company’s total retail
average load (during 2008) of 1,100 average megawatts.5

10

In May 2008, the Commission authorized an increase in PacifiCorp’s (Rocky Mountain
Power) rider from 1.5 percent to 3.72 percent. By implementing programs funded by the
rider, the company estimates it will save 13,140 megawatt-hours per year. At the former
1.5 percent, the rider funded programs that saved about 8,000 MWh during 2007.6

The independent American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (www.aceee.org)
ranks Idaho 13th among the 50 states and the District of Columbia in its 2008 State
Energy Efficiency Scorecard. More noteworthy, is the report’s declaration that Idaho is
the “most improved” state, having moved up 12 spots from the 2007 scorecard. The link
to that report is as follows:

http://aceee.org/pubs/e086_es.pdf

While the PUC does not establish explicit shareholder incentives, the aggressiveness of
the utility is a factor in setting Return On Equity (ROE) in rate cases. In Order No.
22299, the Commission said, "Accordingly, we take this opportunity to notify our
regulated electric utilities that in future rate cases we will take into account the utility's
commitment to energy conservation in determining the allowed rate of return. A utility
that aggressively addresses the issues and concerns found in this Order, all other things
being equal, may expect the allowance of higher return than might otherwise be
allowed."

Also encouraging to shareholders is the fact that increased frequency of rate cases has
decreased the potential for lost recovery of fixed costs due to demand-side achievements
in between rate cases.

All three IOUs purchase power under contract from renewable resources. These costs are
allocated to annual Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) accounts until the costs are placed in
base rates following the next rate case. (A mechanism like a PCA, called the Energy Cost
Adjustment Mechanism, has just been approved for PacifiCorp, Order No. 30904) For
PURPA contracts, the utilities get 100 percent recovery of prudent expenses through the
PCA until costs are fully included in base rates.

Additionally, the Idaho Office of Energy Resources (OER) initiated a series of
workshops to develop an appropriate incentive mechanism to optimize cost-effective
demand-side management activities for Idaho Power Company. The results of the
workshops may be presented to the PUC for its consideration in regulatory proceedings.

The goal of the workshops is to explore and potentially develop an incentive mechanism
for Idaho Power’s investment in DSM activities that represents a reasonable and
attainable incentive, and that balances and aligns utility, customer and societal interests.
Parties indentified from previous PUC cases were invited to participate in the workshops.

6 Case No. PAC-E-08-01, Order No. 30543. For press release, see Appendix H.
11

These workshops are also intended to advance commitments made by the State of Idaho
in relationship to acceptance of funds provided by the American Reinvestment and
Recovery Act. In a letter addressed to the United States Secretary of Energy, Idaho
Governor C.L. “Butch” Otter signed assurances that the state would seek to implement a
general policy that ensures that utility financial incentives are aligned with helping
customers use energy more efficiently. 7

E-5 – The Idaho PUC should support market transformation programs that provide
cost effective energy savings to Idaho citizens.

The PUC continues to allow Idaho’s regulated utilities to fund and actively participate in
the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA), a regional market transformation
entity. PUC staff actively monitors NEEA’s programs and decision-making processes in
assessing the benefits to Idaho customers. All three IOUs have or are currently
negotiating new 5-year contracts with NEEA to continue market transformation efforts.
The PUC staff consistently supports NEEA’s efforts as cost-effective and prudent.
However, the commission continues to evaluate NEEA’s cost-effectiveness calculation
methods and its past method of allocating savings to utility service areas. In this regard,
utilities are encouraged to compare the cost-effectiveness of NEEA programs to
programs that could otherwise be provided by the utilities within their own service areas.

To further support regional market transformation programs, Gov. Otter exercised his
authority to appoint a member to the NEEA board. Under provisions of the NEEA
bylaws, Idaho and Montana “rotate” a seat on the NEEA board. Governor Otter’s
recommendation to the NEEA Board was approved in October 2009. 8

E-6 – The Idaho PUC and Idaho utilities should consider adopting rate designs that
encourage more efficient use of energy.

The PUC continues to consider the affects of rate design on electricity consumption and
peak-energy demand. The PUC recognizes that, ultimately, cost-based and time-varying
rates will provide important price signals, but until customer meters are upgraded to
accommodate such dynamic pricing, other rate designs (e.g. tiered rates, seasonal rates)
have been implemented.

In conjunction with Idaho Power’s 2008 rate case, the Commission re-instituted tiered
rates in early 2009 for Idaho Power customers. Customers pay the lower rate for use
below 800 kWh. The next highest rate is for use between 801 and 2000 kWh. All use
above 2000 kWh is priced at the highest level.9

7 Assurance letter dated March 19, 2009. See Appendix I. 8 Letter from NEEA acknowledging appointment dated October 21, 2009. See Appendix J. 9 IPC-E-08-10, Order No. 30722. For press release, see Appendix K.
12

Rocky Mountain Power in eastern Idaho has had Time of Use rates (TOU) for more than
20 years. The Commission continues to assess whether cost-based TOU rates effectively
supplant the benefits of tiered rates.

To meet the challenge of increased efficiency in reducing load, the Commission has
strongly encouraged utilities to implement automated metering infrastructure, often
referred to as the “smart grid.”

In 2005, Idaho Power began installing automated meters on a pilot basis in the Emmett
area. The Commission later ordered automated meters installed in three phases
throughout Idaho Power’s service territory and, in the context of the most recent rate
case, included expenses from the first phase in base rates.10 Installation is now under way
and expected to be completed in 2011.

E-7 – Idaho’s municipal and cooperative utilities should annually report to the
Energy Division their estimates of cost-effective conservation in their service
territories, their plans for acquiring this resource, their conservation and energy
efficiency expenditures, and their estimated savings in electrical energy (MWh) and
peak capacity (kW) during the lifetime of the measures implemented.

OER and the PUC do not have any direct authority over Idaho’s municipal and
cooperative utilities. Accordingly, any compliance with this action item is entirely up to
the discretion of the cooperative and municipal utilities.

In an effort to acquire the information associated with this action item, the OER sent a
formal request to the Idaho Consumer-Owned Utilities Association.11This request
resulted in a prompt response from Idaho’s municipal and cooperative utilities which provide
power to more than 200,000 Idahoans. Historically, public power in Idaho has been on the
forefront of energy conservation and efficiency programs. Each municipality and cooperative
manages their individual resource plan, and energy efficiency and conservation are a part of that
plan.
Public power utilities in Idaho are customers of the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) and
participate in the development and deployment of BPA conservation efforts. Conservation and
energy efficiency expenditures and corresponding energy savings are reported directly to BPA.
Programs include but are not limited to: rebates for energy efficient appliances, residential
weatherization, commercial lighting retrofits, duct sealing for manufactured homes, heat pump
programs, CFL programs, irrigation sprinkler programs, and LED traffic signals.[11a

Appendix ICOU.

E-8. Idaho should offer an income tax incentive for investments in energy efficient
technologies by Idaho businesses and households.

OER has initiated several efforts to update Idaho’s statutory language related to energy
efficiency tax incentives. The most recent effort in the fall of 2009 resulted in targeted
language to update the residential incentives for energy efficiency deployment.12 This
draft legislation was ultimately rejected due to fiscal realities that could have potentially
impacted existing general fund revenue streams. From a pragmatic perspective, the
current economic recession will continue to serve as a barrier to efforts of this nature.
These legislative concepts will have to wait until the state fully recovers from its current
economic slump.

OER continues to provide incentives in the form of low-interest loans for residential,
commercial, industrial and agricultural customers. The program provides a 4 percent
interest rate over a 5-year loan repayment plan and has been used to fund energy
efficiency and renewable energy projects.13 This program has provided 2,538 loans
totaling $16,748,541.49.

The OER has also taken steps to advance investments in energy efficient technologies by
Idaho businesses through its Industrial Energy Efficiency Programs. OER’s Industries of
the Future (IOF) programs provide US Department of Energy certified Energy Saving
Assessments (ESAs) for industrial partners that investigate the operating characteristics
of energy intensive processes and provide improvement recommendations that include
estimates of energy and dollar savings. The energy intensive industrial processes
addressed by ESAs include Steam Systems, Pumping Systems, Fan Systems, Compressed
Air Systems, Process Heating Systems, and opportunities for Combined Heat and Power
(CHP) applications.

In its industrial efficiency and training outreach efforts, OER is working with Boise State
University and the University of Idaho’s Tech Help program to explore expansion of
Tech Help to become a DOE-certified Industrial Applications Center. Currently, the only
DOE certified Energy Specialist in the state is an OER staff member, so expansion of the
universities’ Tech Help program to the status of an Industrial Applications Center will
significantly broaden the availability of energy specialist expertise in Idaho to assist
Idaho industries.

Funding through the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act ($30 million) is also
being targeted to provide assistance for low-income residential customers. This program
is being directed by the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare. Details related to this
incentive program can be found at http://www.healthandwelfare.idaho.gov/.

12 Text of Draft legislation for residential energy efficiency updates. See Appendix O. 13 More information on OER’s Low-interest Loan program information can be found at
http://www.energy.idaho.gov/financialassistance/lowinterestenergyloans.shtml.
14

To further support investment in energy efficient technologies, the OER awarded $5
million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds to Micron Technology Inc. to
advance a manufacturing program focused on producing light-emitting diode (LED)
technology.14 This funding directly incented the establishment of an LED manufacturing
operation in Idaho that will create jobs and ultimately improve access to this energy
efficiency technology.

LED technology uses about one-seventh of the electricity of today’s standard lighting
sources. Applications include general commercial and residential illumination, municipal
streetlights and outdoor area lighting; off-grid lighting powered by solar for remote
locations; television and display backlighting as well as automotive lighting and
instrument illumination.

E-9. Idaho should offer a sales and use tax exemption on the purchase of energy
efficient technologies.

As was referenced in Section E-8, the current economic downturn and the potential
impact incentives and exemptions can have on general fund revenue streams makes it
difficult to pursue efforts of this nature. Economic realities represent an insurmountable
hurdle to these types of legislative initiatives. As the economy improves, further
consideration to this public policy consideration will be explored.

E-10. Idaho should adopt international building codes on a three-year cycle as a
minimum for building energy efficiency standards and should provide technical and
financial assistance to local jurisdictions for implementation and enforcement.

The concept of adopting International Energy Codes is fully supported by the State of
Idaho. As part of the assurances required for the American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act (ARRA) funds, Governor Otter committed to make progress toward adopting the
2009 International Energy Code.15 Additionally, the Governor strongly encouraged the
PUC, OER and the Division of Building Safety to make progress in this area.16

Efforts to adopt building codes for energy efficiency building standards are under way.
The Idaho Building Code Board met on June 10, 2009 and issued a Notice of Rulemaking
for adoption of the 2009 International Building Code, including the International Energy
Conservation Code. On August 12, 2009 the Board adopted the IECC without
amendment effective January 1, 2011. The rulemaking has been submitted to the
Administrative Rules Office.17

14 Text of Press Release dated 9/24/2009. See Appendix P. 15 Letter from Governor Otter to U.S. Department of Energy Dated March 19, 2009. See Appendix Q. 16 Letter from Governor Otter dated March 19, 2009. See Appendix R. 17 Text of Energy Code Rulemaking. See Appendix S.
15

The OER has also dedicated $500,000 of ARRA funds to assist local units of government
in their quest to implement new energy codes. Additionally, the Energy Codes
Collaborative has been formed which includes representatives from the Association of
Idaho Cities, the Idaho Association of Counties , the Idaho Division of Building Safety,
the Office of Energy Resources, the Idaho Association of Building Officials, Northwest
Energy Efficiency Alliance and various code-enforcing jurisdictions to further explore
opportunities to implement new energy codes. The OER is working closely with the
Collaborative to provide scholarships to building officials for energy code training in
2010, assisting development of Energy Code Ambassadors to assist with adoption and
implementation, and to use the compliance tools in a proactive way to provide
jurisdictions and builders with a self-assessment tool for code compliance. The support
actions will continue through 2012 to follow up the IECC implementation date.

E-11. State Government will:
i. Demonstrate leadership by promoting energy efficiency, energy efficient
products, use of renewable energy and fostering emerging technologies by
increasing energy efficiency in all facets of State government;
ii. Ensure that public facility procurement rules provide appropriate incentives to
allow full implementation of cost-effective energy efficiency and small-scale
generation at public facilities;
iii. Collaborate with utilities, regulators, legislators and other impacted
stakeholders
to advance energy efficiency in all sectors of Idaho’s economy;
iv. Work to identify and address all barriers and disincentives to increased
acquisition of energy conservation and efficiency; and
v. Educate government agencies, the private sector and the public about the
benefits and means to implement energy efficiency.

The Commission will work with the Legislature and with OER to promote and provide
education regarding energy efficiency. In Case No. IPC-E-08-11, the Commission
directed that $500,000 in proceeds from the sales of Idaho Power Company emissions
credits go toward energy efficiency education in Idaho Power’s southern Idaho territory.
Idaho Power is cooperating with the Office of Energy Resources to develop the
program.18

As part of the 2008 Idaho Power rate case (IPC-E-08-10), the commission approved a
request by the Community Action Partnership Association of Idaho (CAPAI) to require
Idaho Power to provide $25,000 annually to each of the state’s five community-action
regions for energy-efficiency education projects. In the most recent PacifiCorp rate case
settlement (PAC-E-08-07), the parties to the settlement agreed that $50,000 of demand-
side management funds should be made available to community action agencies in
eastern Idaho to provide conservation education to participants in the company’s low-
income weatherization program.

18 Case No. IPC-E-08-11, Order No. 30760. For press release, see Appendix T.

In our own office, the Commission continually looks for ways to encourage energy
efficiency and reduce our carbon footprint. We have formalized a telecommuting policy
for our employees and are exploring ways to conduct our hearings through
teleconferencing or other methods to reduce staff and commission travel. The
commission is also represented on the board of the Idaho Strategic Energy Alliance and
its task forces.

The creation of the Idaho Strategic Energy Alliance (ISEA) serves as a key component in
fulfilling this action item. Governor Otter created the Idaho Strategic Energy Alliance in
2008 as a mechanism to involve energy experts and stakeholders from across Idaho in
developing our state's energy future.19

The ISEA (http://www.energy.idaho.gov/idahostrategicenergyalliance) is comprised of
about a dozen volunteer tasks forces focusing on a range of energy options and energy
efficiency opportunities. More than 140 experts representing energy and economic
development from the private sector, academi, and government serve on these task
forces. Their goal is to provide objective analyses and recommendations and build
partnerships that will allow the government and private sector to enhance economic
growth through sound energy development and use.

The ISEA has a wide variety of Task Forces within its structure that have been
developing base-line reports related to multiple aspects of energy resource development.
One of the first reports issued through ISEA examined energy efficiency. Through ISEA,
the Energy Efficiency Task Force has prepared and released a significant report that
identifies various options to promote more energy efficiency deployment.20

In addition to the Alliance, the Executive branch has promoted the deployment of energy
efficiency measures within state government in a variety of ways including retrofits of
existing buildings, the installation of energy-saving devices on vending machines located
in state buildings, and formal support of energy efficiency projects for public buildings.

Most notably, Governor Otter has taken a lead role in promoting the Idaho K-12 Energy
Efficiency Project. This project commits more than $17 million dollars of ARRA
funding to perform energy efficiency upgrades in Idaho’s public school buildings. In a
promotional brochure prepared for this project, Governor Otter authored a message that
demonstrates leadership and support for the deployment of energy efficiency in
government buildings. Specifically, the Governor says, “A reduction in energy use in
existing buildings will reduce market volatility in the purchase of energy, providing
(school) districts greater security in planning both short and long-term energy budgets.”21
Additionally, the Governor wrote letters to each of Idaho’s 115 school districts
encouraging them to participate in this program. All 115 school districts are participating
in this venture.

19 Executive Order Creating the ISEA. See Appendix U. 20 The Energy Efficiency Task Force report can be found at www.Energy.Idaho.Gov. 21 Text of Brochure promoting Idaho K-12 Energy Efficiency Project. See Appendix V.
17

The Legislative branch has also taken measures to advance energy efficiency deployment
and renewable energy development. Since the establishment of the 2007 Idaho Energy
Plan, several pieces of legislation have been approved that demonstrate leadership in the
areas of energy efficiency and renewable energy development.22

An example of legislation that addresses energy efficiency in public buildings is Senate
Bill 113, passed by the 2009 Legislature and signed by the governor. It is codified as 33-
356 I.C. and focuses on fundamental commissioning and integrated design of school
buildings.23 The goal of this measure is to ensure that the building is designed,
constructed, certified and maintained in such a manner as to be as energy-efficient as
existing technology (and budgets) allows. Subsequent to the passage of this bill, the
Division of Building Safety has proposed rules (DOCKET NO. 07-0301-0903)24
providing guidance to school districts with a desire to establish eligibility for the relief
defined in 33-356 I.C. In order to be eligible, schools constructing new building facilities
must utilize fundamental commissioning and integrated design in the construction
process. The DBS rules define a mechanism whereby a district’s eligibility may be
verified, documented and made known to the Idaho Department of Education on an
annual basis.

It is important to note that the OER also works closely with public schools and local units
of government in efforts to provide assistance toward the deployment of energy
efficiency measures. The OER provides assistance to schools and local governments that
choose to enter into an Energy Performance Contract. Energy Performance Contracting
enables public schools and governmental entities to use savings from improved energy
efficiencies to pay for new equipment and improvements to existing buildings. The
program does this in a budget-neutral financing method using the proceeds from the
savings. A recent example of the OER’s efforts assisted in the construction of the Van
Buren Elementary School in Caldwell, one of the most energy efficient public school
buildings in the state.25

To further illustrate how the state is working to identify and address all barriers and
disincentives to increased acquisition of energy conservation and efficiency, the OER has
initiated a series of workshops to develop an appropriate incentive mechanism for Idaho
Power Company to optimize cost-effective demand-side management activities. These
workshops demonstrate a serious commitment to collaborate with utilities, regulators,
legislators and other affected stakeholders for the purpose of advancing energy efficiency
in all sectors of Idaho’s economy.

The use of funds associated with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for
Idaho-based energy efficiency projects further demonstrates progress in this area.26 This
22 List of energy related legislation passed since creation of 2007 Idaho Energy Plan. See Appendix W 23 Text of 33-356 I.C. See Appendix X. 24 Text of Proposed Rules. See Appendix Y. 25 Text of Martin Van Buren Elementary School Fact Sheet from Caldwell School District. See Appendix
Z. 26 View details of OER stimulus plan and its emphasis on energy efficiency at www.energy.Idaho.gov .
18

funding is primarily targeted to energy efficiency and renewable energy projects for
schools and local units of government. Funding has also been earmarked to incent the
purchase of energy star appliances throughout the state of Idaho.

E-12. Idaho should offer an income tax incentive for investment in customer-owned
renewable generation and combined heat and power (CHP) facilities by Idaho
businesses and households.

While the present economic environment is ill-suited for the passage of additional new
incentives, efforts to promote existing incentives targeted at renewable energy
development are being pursued. The Idaho Department of Commerce has developed
marketing materials aimed at promoting renewable development in the state.27
Additionally, the Idaho Department of Commerce has created a listing of existing
incentives that could potentially benefit renewable energy development.28

Despite the present economic downtown, the OER continues to make progress on efforts
to encourage the development of combined heat and power facilities by Idaho businesses.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) has been entered into by OER, Idaho Power
Company and the Amalgamated Sugar Company to explore the feasibility of a combined
heat and power project at the Amalgamated Sugar Company’s Nampa site.

The purpose of the MOU is to set forth understandings with respect to a contemplated
opportunity, that if found feasible within the context of Idaho Power’s Integrated
Resource Planning process, a CHP facility may be built at the Nampa site.

The OER recognizes the potential benefits of this proposed project to improve Idaho’s
energy resources portfolio, increase source energy utilization efficiency and reduce
environmental impacts. Moreover, the proposed CHP project to be examined conforms
with the goals of OER’s Combined Heat and Power program, which is to foster
development of such projects.29

The OER also provides incentives in the form of low-interest loans to assist business and
residential customers who are interested in pursuing projects relevant to this action item.
Details of this program can be found at www.energy.idaho.gov. The residential aspect of
this program has shown increased interest in the installation of ground source heat
pumps. Review of loan applications reveal that heat pumps are often a good choice for
rural homes without access to natural gas and currently using propane and fuel oil.
Electric forced-air furnaces are also good candidates for conversion. Additionally, water
source heat pumps generally cost less than ground source heat pumps. Both heat pumps
are much more expensive than other heat systems. Projects costing $10,000 to $20,000

27 See promotional brochure at http://www.commerce.idaho.gov/assets/content/docs/Final%20Copy%2009-
2009.pdf. 28 View listing of existing incentives for renewable energy development at
www.commerce.idaho.gov/business/incentives.aspx. 29 Text of MOU dated Oct. 9, 2009, see Appendix AA.
19

are not unusual. However, both types of heat pumps are the most efficient heating system
available with Coefficients of Performance (COP) of up to 4.4. Successful loan
applications work best in medium to large homes where potential savings are greater.

E-13. Idaho should provide a credit backstop to enable the Idaho Energy Resources
Authority to provide low-cost financing for customer-owned renewable generation
and combined heat and power facilities.

Legislative action is perhaps the most reasonable solution to providing a credit backstop
that would enable the Idaho Energy Resources Authority with the appropriate support
required to meet this action item. Unfortunately, the present economic situation will
likely impede any immediate progress in this area. The OER explored opportunities to
utilize ARRA funding for this purpose. However, due to some federal restrictions and
the limited amount of available funding, credit backstop options were abandoned. The
OER will continue to consider other opportunities if they materialize.

E-14. Idaho utilities should offer voluntary “green pricing” programs that allow
customers to support an environmentally preferred and renewable energy resource.

These programs, cited below, were in place before the Energy Plan was issued and
remain in effect.

In February 2001, the Commission approved Idaho Power’s Green Energy Purchase
Program (Case No. IPC-E-00-18). The program gives customers an option to participate
in the purchase of renewable energy. Customers designate their level of participation by
choosing a fixed dollar amount per month. The programs funds are used to buy green
energy or cover the green energy price premium.

In early 2002, the Commission approved Avista Utilities’ Optional Renewable Power
Rate (AVU-E-01-16, Order No. 28948). Under the “Buck-A-Block” program, customers
can buy wind in blocks of 300 kWh for $1 each. According to the Company’s 2008
update, 1,007 Idaho residential customers participate as do 41 commercial and industrial
customers.

In August 2003, the Commission approved PacifiCorp’s “Blue Sky” program for its
Rocky Mountain Power territory in eastern Idaho. (PAC-E-03-9, Order No. 29329).
Customers can buy 100 kWh of renewable energy for $1.95.

E-15. The Idaho PUC should establish appropriate shareholder incentives for
investments in Idaho renewable resources by investor-owned utilities. Shareholder
incentives may include, but are not limited to:

20

i. Increased return on investments in renewable resources located in Idaho;
ii. A share of net societal benefits attributable to a renewable energy purchase.

Neither the Commission nor utilities have implemented or proposed specific shareholder
incentives. However, it should be noted that there is little to no risk for shareholders
when the company pursues renewable generation. The Fixed Cost Adjustment
mechanism assures Idaho Power it will recover its fixed costs even when energy sales
decline. Further, Idaho Power and Avista Utilities are allowed to allocate all their
PURPA purchase power contracts through a power cost adjustment process, which
guarantees 100 percent recovery after a prudency review. A similar cost recovery
mechanism has recently been approved for PacifiCorp (Rocky Mountain Power).

The Commission does consider the utility’s aggressiveness in pursing cost-effective
demand-side resources when it sets a company’s return on equity in rate cases.

In an effort to provide additional tools to secure capital financing for utility-scaled
projects, the OER initiated legislation that addressed ratemaking treatment considerations
prior to construction of the actual project.30 This effort became law and is viewed as a
positive step toward reducing risk considerations associated with large-scale projects as
utilities seek capital financing.

The essence of this law allows the Commission to look at the ratemaking treatment at the
beginning of a project instead of waiting until the project is completed and billions of
dollars have already been invested. The benefit is that utilities and the investment
community gain the confidence they need to access financing for critical infrastructure
including large-scale renewable energy generation resources. Ultimately, this law is seen
as having the potential to minimize upward pressure on the cost of capital which
ultimately benefits customers.

E-16. The Idaho PUC should administer its responsibilities under PURPA in a way
that encourages the development of customer–owned renewable generation and
combined heat and power facilities.

The Commission has historically established PURPA-related policies that encourage the
development of customer-owned renewable resource generation, but we must also remain
consistent with the Commission’s other legal obligations, including maintaining rates that
are fair and reasonable. The Commission has established several provisions including
standard 20-year contracts with fixed-price published rates to simplify the process for
customer-owned and small-power generators. The Commission offers generators and
utilities the option of entering into “levelized” or “non-levelized” contracts. Under a
levelized contract, the developer is paid the same rate over the entire span of the contract.
That rate, in the early years, is higher than the current value of electricity, which allows
the developer to recoup his initial investment more quickly and makes it easier for the

30 Text of SB 1123, see Appendix BB.
21

developer to get financing. These contract features encourage the development of
renewable generation.

A number of recent and current cases involve revisions to PURPA related tariffs. (See
response to E-3 for PURPA updates). Commission decisions in these cases recognize the
need to encourage renewable generation from small-power providers or at the customer
level.

An important point to remember (as stated in E-3) is that when it is stated that the “PUC
should administer its responsibilities under PURPA in a way that encourages renewable
development” the PUC is restricted under the provisions of PURPA from adopting QF
(Qualifying Facility) project avoided cost that exceeds a utility’s actual avoided cost.

In support of efforts to encourage the development of customer-owned renewable
generation and combined heat and power facilities, the OER utilizes its low-interest loan
program to provide funding for small-scale customer-owned renewable projects. The
OER has also earmarked funds from the ARRA to assist with the development of
renewable energy projects initiated by local units of government and public schools (solar
panel schools project). These projects can be viewed in greater detail at
www.energy.idaho.gov.

E-17 The Idaho PUC should establish uniform policies for interconnection and net
metering that promote investment in customer-owned renewable energy facilities.
Idaho’s municipal and cooperative utilities should work together to develop a
uniform policy for municipal utilities and rural electric cooperatives.

The Commission has had net metering tariffs in place for many years and those have
been updated to reflect evolving technologies.

The PUC has recently reviewed interconnection and net metering policies to comply with
new PURPA standards enacted by the Energy Policy Act of 2005. Order No. 30229 in
Case No. GNR-E-06-02 details the PUC’s decision to deem the three IOUs’ current
interconnection and net metering tariffs in compliance with PURPA and also describes
each IOU’s approach to customer-owned generation. Additionally, Idaho Power
extensively revised its interconnection tariff (Schedule 72) in 2008 in response to an
Exergy complaint. (Order No. 30574 in Case No. IPC-E-08-05.) All three IOUs require
a net metering customer to execute an Interconnection Agreement. Although the three
IOU’s interconnection agreements have slight differences, they contain similar
requirements for customers paying interconnection costs, safety and operational issues,
metering requirements, and financial and liability obligations.

Generally, the customer receives credit for energy generated at the customer’s tariffed
rate, although Idaho Power has argued unsuccessfully that the credit should be for energy
only. In 2006, Idaho Power filed a petition with the Commission to pay net metering
22

customers a rate that is 85 percent of wholesale rather than the full retail rate. The
company later withdrew that application.31

Net metering credits for Avista customers carry forward from month to month during a
year, but are not continued into a new year.
The fact that the PUC began approving net metering tariffs in the 1990s signifies
encouragement of customer-owned generation. The recent actions cited above re-affirm
the continuation of that support. However, the customer must make the investment
decision to buy and install the generating equipment – whether wind, solar, fuel cell, or
something else. While the PUC has authority over how customer-owned generation is
interconnected and how much compensation is received for energy produced, the
customer’s investment decision is driven more by the availability of financial and tax
incentives from manufacturers and federal and state government, respectively as well as
the expected payback period, and ease and feasibility of installing the generation. Any
customer experiencing difficulty with interconnection or net metering with an Idaho IOU
may seek the PUC’s help.

It is important to note that net metering rates already provide a subsidy to participants
that is paid by other customers. This has not been an issue, however, because the number
of net metering customers is small. The Commission has established caps on the
collective capacity of net metering allowed for each utility, but the utilities are not close
to reaching those caps.

The OER intends to utilize a program funded by the American Reinvestment and
Recovery Act to explore aspects of net metering related to projects installed at public
schools. This project seeks to fund several solar projects at public school buildings in
service territories that have existing net metering tariffs. As the project develops, one of
the areas of interest is how renewable energy projects at public schools might utilize net
metering. Through this effort a broader understanding of existing net metering tariffs
will be gained that could lead to future recommendations or policy discussions. Details
of the solar schools program can be viewed at www.idaho.energy.gov .

E-18. Idaho utilities shall report annually to their retail customers their sources of
electricity (their “fuel mix.”)

Each of the three investor-owned utilities reports its fuel mix to customers at least once
annually. The PacifiCorp report applies to its six-state territory, making Idaho-specific
information more difficult to discern. Each utility has voluntarily provided the customer
resource report in compliance with the 2007 Idaho Energy Plan without an order to do so
from the Commission. Copies of the most recent reports to Avista and Idaho Power
customers are attached under Appendix AVU and Appendix IPC.

31 Case No. IPC-E-06-17, Order No. 30227. For press release, see Appendix CC.
23

E-19 The Idaho PUC and Departments of Water Resources and Environmental
Quality should investigate and report on the status of “clean coal” technologies and
barriers that prevent Idaho utilities from investing in environmentally-preferred
uses of coal.

Each of the electric utilities regularly study and evaluate clean coal technologies and
options in their Integrated Resource Plans, which are prepared and filed every two years.

The U.S. Department of Energy is funding some demonstration projects for carbon
sequestration using ARRA (stimulus bill) funds, but most of those are directed to coal
producing states like Illinois and West Virginia. The development of actual new
technology for the cleaner burning of coal is decades away.
Concerns over carbon treatment and associated costs have rendered the development of
traditional coal-fired generation facilities largely impractical. The result is that only
“clean coal” options can be considered. The following excerpts from a report published
by the Western Governors Association, “Deploying Near-Zero Technologies for Coal: A
Path Forward” helps illustrate the status of “clean coal” technology in Idaho and the
West:
“A range of readily deployable technologies exists to achieve reductions in carbon
dioxide emissions from coal-fired power plants. Some technologies, such as ultra-
supercritical boilers, offer near-term (3-5 year) results and potential emissions reductions
of up to 30 percent at most. Other technologies, such as carbon capture and storage, will
enable near zero emissions, but face economic obstacles to wide-scale deployment over
the next 5-10 years without targeted subsidies and incentives. There are also
technologies, such as IGCC plants, which function at higher efficiencies comparable to
new ultra-supercritical pulverized coal, and although they can be designed to be “capture
ready”, would not actually capture emissions without the addition of specific carbon
capture equipment. These plants do reduce emissions per unit of energy produced
compared with conventional coal plants and provide project and operational experience
in one component of an integrated carbon capture and sequestration system.
“Given the need to deal with increasing population, accommodating electricity demand,
and meeting the governors goal to have clean generation, discussion in centered around
what role coal can play and in what timeframe. This summary acknowledges that CCS
remains an additional economic burden on the cost of electricity and that structural
infrastructure issues such as pipelines, coordination of new and existing plants with
reserves, and a policy framework remain uncertain. But the challenge for industry is to
take the small steps that will reduce these burdens.
“It has become increasingly difficult to get new coal generating facilities permitted,
regardless of the technology employed. To a great degree this is driven by a concern for
adding new carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere. It is the case that to have near-
zero emissions coal, it is necessary to capture and sequester the carbon emissions.
24

Unfortunately, at the current rate of research and regulatory development, it will be some
number of years before regulated sequestration will be a reality.
“This leads to the question of whether it would be acceptable to “ramp-up” to high levels
of carbon capture and sequestration, or whether there should be a moratorium on
construction of new coal facilities if they do not deploy high levels of capture and
storage. On this point there was a clear division, with many of the environmental
community proposing that no coal plant should be built without immediate capture and
sequestration, and many utility and coal industry representatives arguing that while it is
possible to reach high levels in time, it is more reasonable to build to this level in a series
of steps. Industry argues that without the ability to make stepwise progression to high
levels of sequestration, the construction of new coal burning facilities is severely
limited.”
The complete report can be reviewed at http://www.westgov.org/wga_reports.htm.

E-20. Idaho and Idaho utilities should work with the Idaho National Laboratory to
investigate the feasibility of bringing a “next generation” nuclear facility to Idaho.

The Commission is open to working with regulated utilities and the Idaho National
Laboratory (INL) on nuclear options. However, the utilities, not the PUC, make their own
resource acquisition decisions. Some utilities, including Idaho Power and PacifiCorp, are
beginning to include nuclear options in their Integrated Resource Planning.
The creation of OER in 2007 coincided with the announcement of a proposed project to
develop a large-scale nuclear power generation facility in Idaho. Through discussions
between INL and OER, it was agreed that the lab would provide OER with some direct
technical expertise. This relationship assisted the state in gaining a greater understanding
of the licensing and permitting process associated with nuclear power generation.
Presentations were also made to members of the Legislature.

The initial relationship with the INL led to a more formal Memorandum of
Understanding that will also be used to continue the exploration of next generation
nuclear in Idaho.32 Additionally, the OER has established Base Load Task Force within
the structure of the Idaho Strategic Energy Alliance to examine all forms of large scale
generation including next generation nuclear. It is also important to note that the INL has
received approximately $160 million in federal funds to continue the development of next
generation nuclear technology. While no project is ready to break ground in Idaho,
developers continue to express active interest in the state for nuclear energy ventures.

E-21. Idaho should encourage the use of “dry cooling” or “gray water” cooling for
new thermal facilities.

32 MOU between INL and the State of Idaho, see Appendix DD.
25

No such opportunities have materialized to date.

E-22. Idaho should participate in regional efforts aimed at increasing the capability
of the western transmission grid and bringing to Idaho the benefits of cost-effective
remote resources.
For many years, the Commission has been involved in regional transmission planning
and coordinating efforts. The Idaho PUC and commissions and consumer counsels from
four other Intermountain and Northwest states, along with Idaho Power and PacifiCorp,
actively participate in the Northern Tier Transmission Group (NTTG) planning process.
NTTG is a group of transmission providers and customers that are actively involved in
the sale and purchase of transmission capacity of the power grid that delivers electricity
to customers in the Northwest and Mountain States. Transmission owners serving this
territory work in conjunction with state governments, customers, and other stakeholders
to improve the operations of and chart the future for the grid that links all of these service
territories. NTTG members are committed to working with stakeholders and state
officials to increase efficient use of the grid and to develop the infrastructure needed to
deliver new renewable and thermal power resources to customers.
Avista Utilities belongs to ColumbiaGrid, which has many of the same objectives as
NTTG, but is focused primarily in the Pacific Northwest.

The Idaho Commission is a member (and Commissioner Marsha Smith is on the board of
directors) of the Western Electricity Coordinating Council, the regional entity responsible
for coordinating and promoting bulk electric system reliability in the Western
Interconnection. In addition, FERC assures open and non-discriminatory transmission
access for all power providers.

The Western Governors' Association and U.S. Department of Energy launched the
Western Renewable Energy Zones initiative in May 2008. The WREZ seeks to identify
those areas in the West with vast renewable resources to expedite the development and
delivery of renewable energy to where it is needed. Renewable energy resources are
being analyzed within 11 states, two Canadian provinces, and areas in Mexico that are
part of the Western Interconnection. The Idaho Office of Energy Resources has been an
active participant in WREZ activities.

E-23. Idaho should provide a credit backstop to enhance the Idaho Energy
Resources Authority’s ability to provide low-cost financing for transmission
projects that benefit Idaho’s citizens.
Efforts to fund a credit backstop to enhance the Idaho Energy Resources Authority’s
ability to provide low-cost financing for transmission projects is severely limited by the
current economic climate. Legislative appropriations at this time are unlikely to be
positively received and will need to be explored at a later date.

26

Despite the inability to provide funding for this action item, several substantial
transmission projects have been proposed that would potentially benefit Idaho customers.
Among the projects is Gateway West, a joint venture proposed by Idaho Power and
Rocky Mountain Power. Other projects include the Mountain State Transmission
Intertie, Boardman to Hemingway, the SWIP corridor, and several DC line proposals.

E-24. Idaho should support efforts to amend the Internal Revenue Code to provide
that revenue bonds issued by state transmission entities be provided with tax
exempt status to provide additional ability to construct needed transmission
facilities.

While legislative action is the only recourse to achieve this action item, the newly
established Transmission Task Force within the structure of the Idaho Strategic Energy
Alliance could serve as a tool to examine the value proposition associated with this
concept.

NATURAL GAS

NG-1. The Idaho PUC should ensure that its line extension policies, electric and
natural gas tariffs, and other policies encourage the direct use of natural gas in
applications for which natural gas in the most efficient energy source.

The Commission maintains a position of neutrality regarding customer choice for fuel
source. The issue of which resource is the most efficient is complex. It is important to
remember that electricity is available almost everywhere as an essential service, but
natural gas is not; so electrical space heating is the only choice in many rural areas of
Idaho and the nation.

While the PUC is not in the business of favoring one type of utility service over another,
the PUC has facilitated gas utilities’ expanding their service to rural areas through tariff
rates to recover the cost of expansion. The gas utilities make their own business
decisions about expansion because it involves the costs of pipelines, hookups, and more
gas supply. The customers involved also incur costs to replace electric space heating
with gas furnaces. However, customers benefit from cheaper energy bills. The argument
can be made that the benefit of more efficient heating using natural gas applies to
customers of both the electric and gas utilities.

27

NG-2. Idaho should provide incentives for investments in non-traditional natural
gas supply resources, including landfill methane, anaerobic digesters and biomass
methane.

The advancement of non-traditional natural gas supply resources has become an
important goal of the Office of Energy Resources. While incentives for investments are
hindered by the recession, efforts under the direction of the OER are assisting in the
desire to promote the use of non-traditional natural gas.

Biogas was the focus of one of the first Task Force groups created within the
organizational structure of the Idaho Strategic Energy Alliance. The Biogas Task Force
has issued its initial report where it examines in detail the issues and concerns associated
with the development of non-traditional natural gas supplies such as landfill methane,
anaerobic digesters, and biomass methane. This report can be viewed at
www.idaho.energy.gov.

The body of work associated with this task force prompted the OER to include biogas
projects in its American Recovery and Reinvestment funding plan submitted to the
Department of Energy (DOE). Under the plan approved by DOE, Idaho’s local units of
government can seek funding for projects that could advance the development and
utilization of biogas. Project developers utilizing methane from the dairy industry and
landfills have expressed interest in applying for this funding.

Another incentive for the development of anaerobic digesters comes in the form of the
published avoided cost rate structure established by the Idaho Public Utilities
Commission. The avoided cost rate helps foster the development of small-scale
renewable energy projects under the federal mandates established by PURPA. The IPUC
has approved three contracts that utilize methane from anaerobic digesters to produce
electricity, including a landfill methane contract with Ada County.

NG-3 Idaho should support the siting of liquefied natural gas terminals and other
infrastructure in the United States to provide delivery capability to Idaho.

Efforts to promote LNG terminal development in the Northwest have been somewhat
hampered by the recession. However, developers continue to pursue options and to the
extent they are successful, it will potentially free up available space on the pipelines that
serve Idaho customers. Idaho has been supportive of these measures.

Regarding other infrastructure associated with LNG operations, a 6 million therm LNG
facility near Nampa is owned and operated by Intermountain Gas. This facility can
presently supply peak-load needs for the company’s customers. The utility also has a
smaller LNG facility near Rexburg that also provides for peak-load needs. The costs of
these facilities are recovered in the base rates for Intermountain Gas. Satellite LNG
facilities such as these help the utility avoid more expensive system upgrades while still
helping to provide safe and reliable service. The utility also utilizes LNG tankers to
28

provide continuous service when necessary construction on distribution lines is required.
Most recently, the company’s Sun Valley distribution area benefited from this practice.
The state, through the work of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission, continues to
support LNG technology by allowing the recovery of costs associated with its
deployment.

ALTERNATIVE FUELS

T-1 Idaho should ensure that its state vehicle procurement rules promote purchases
of high-efficiency, flex-fuel, natural gas and alternative-fuel vehicles where cost
effective.

On December 20, 2007 Governor Otter issued Executive Order No. 2007-21.33 This
Order required state agencies to incorporate more fuel-efficient practices related to state
fleet vehicles and also encouraged the purchase of alternative-fuel vehicles. The main
provisions include the following:

• All executive branch departments, agencies and offices of the State of
Idaho shall decrease the amount of gasoline and diesel used in State
vehicles by:

a. increasing the fuel economy of its vehicles;
b. increasing the operating efficiency; and
c. reducing the number of miles driven by employees.

• All executive branch departments, agencies and offices of the State of
Idaho shall limit the purchase or lease of four-wheel drive sport utility
vehicles and similar specialty vehicles to situations where there is a clear
business need or the mission of the entity requires such vehicles.

• All executive branch departments, agencies and offices of the State of
Idaho shall give priority to the purchase and use of hybrid gas/electric
and other fuel efficient/low emission and new petroleum efficient
technology vehicles.

• The Division of Purchasing will make available to all departments and
agencies a list of available vehicle purchasing contracts, which will
identify vehicles that meet the requirements of this executive order. Any
purchase outside this list will need written justification signed by the
director or administrator of the entity.

33 Text of Executive Order Regarding Fleet Vehicles. See Appendix EE.
29

In compliance with the Governor’s Executive Order, the Idaho State Division of
Purchasing prepares a quarterly report that updates fleet vehicle purchases via the
state contract.34

T-2 Idaho should provide incentives for the purchase of efficient, flex-fuel and
alternative fuel vehicles.

Incentives necessary to advance this action item require legislative action and based on
general fund impairment tied to the current economic recession, state funded initiatives
are unlikely in the near term.

T-3 Idaho should provide incentives for investments in retail and wholesale
alternative fuel supply infrastructure.

On March 26, 2007 Governor Otter signed into law the Rural Idaho Economic
Development Biofuel Infrastructure, Consumer Choice and Fuel Independence Act of
2007 (HB 150). The purpose of this legislation was to provide grants for up to 50 percent
of the cost of constructing qualified fueling infrastructure projects dedicated to providing
biofuels to Idaho customers. The legislation directed the Idaho energy office to
administer the funds.

The Legislature appropriated $690,000 for fiscal year 2008 and anticipated an additional
$1,610,000 for FY 2009 through 2012 for a total of $2.3 million over the five-year
period. With the downturn in the economy, however, the Legislature was not able to
provide further funding. The program ended in August 2009 after awarding more than
$597,000 for infrastructure projects.35

In conjunction with the BIG program OER also built a partnership with Idaho fuel
suppliers to provide a smooth and problem-free transition to biofuels. Fuel suppliers
were given informational pamphlets explaining the facts about biofuels and technical
assistance to help minimize potential problems with the new fuels.

Additionally, through its affiliation with the Treasure Valley Clean Cities Coalition, the
OER supports efforts to utilize compressed natural gas (CNG) as an alternative
transportation fuel. Efforts lead by the Treasure Valley Clean Cities Coalition, in
collaboration with Allied Waste and the City of Boise lead to a grant that allows for the
conversion of garbage trucks to CNG. Additionally, plans are underway to establish the
first public CNG fueling facility at the Allied Waste site in Boise.

T-4 Idaho should establish an incentive for the production of ethanol and biodiesel
that reflects the cost of alternative fuel production relative to the price of gasoline
and diesel fuel.

The production of ethanol and biodiesel is tied to the volatility of traditional
transportation fuel prices. For example, when the price of traditional transportation fuel
drops, production of non-traditional transportation fuels is negatively impacted. The
dramatic drop in petroleum-based transportation fuels over the past year has resulted in
the closure of ethanol plants in Idaho and throughout the nation. This scenario coupled
with the current economic recession, makes it difficult to effectively promote the
establishment of incentives that would provide the level of subsidies necessary to support
this action item.

T-5 Idaho should promote research and development and business-university
partnerships to speed the commercialization of alternative fuel technologies, with
particular emphasis on cellulosic ethanol.

The Biofuels Task Force created within the structure of the Idaho Strategic Energy
Alliance is comprised of experts in the in the field of alternative fuel technologies. This
task force is exploring a variety of opportunities associated with the research and
development of alternative fuels. Members of this task force include representatives
from private business and universities. Accordingly, attention to fostering improved
partnerships between business and universities is a focal point.

T-6 Idaho should prohibit “exclusivity” requirements in future contracts between
fuel suppliers and retail service stations that prevent the stations from offering
alternative fuels.

This action item requires legislative action and is an area that the Interim Committee
might choose to revisit as it prepares for its five-year review of the 2007 Idaho Energy
Plan.

TRANSPORTATION FUEL CONSERVATION
T-7 Idaho should work with other states to promote an increase in Federal CAFE
standards.
T-8 Idaho should permit local authorization of transit option taxes to support the
use and expansion of public transportation.
T-9 Idaho should provide incentives for the installation and operation of equipment
that reduces truck and tour bus idling.
T-10 Idaho should encourage regional land use planning and policies that minimize
vehicle-miles traveled.

31

The majority of items under the heading of Transportation Fuel Conservation generally
require legislative action. It would appear that the Interim Committee might target these
areas for further review to determine if the initial interest for these action items is still a
policy direction it wants to pursue. The five-year review outlined in the 2007 Idaho
Energy Plan appears to represent the best opportunity to explore these issues in greater
detail.

As a general interpretation of this section, it is clear that the Legislature encourages Idaho
to work with other states to identify potential enhancements for transportation fuel
efficiency. Appropriately, Idaho’s executive branch is an active member of the Western
Governors Association (WGA), a group dedicated to addressing regional issues of
interest. Among the areas of concern for WGA and its membership is alternative fuels
and transportation fuel conservation. The WGA Advisory Committee on Transportation
Fuels for the Future has proposed strategies to accelerate the development of alternative
transportation fuels that hold the promise of reducing the risks to our energy security,
environment and economy posed by our near total dependence on petroleum for
conventional transportation fuel. The Advisory Committee also proposes strategies for
improving vehicle fuel efficiency. The report on Transportation Fuels for the Future
offers some options that might be of interest to legislative leaders as they consider future
directions related to transportation fuel conservation.36

ENERGY FACILITY SITING

S-1. The Idaho PUC should be vested with the authority to site transmission
facilities within area that have been designated by the U.S. Department of Energy as
National Interest Transmission Corridors.

During its 2007session, the Idaho Legislature granted the PUC authority to issue a route
certificate for transmission lines located in National Interest Energy Corridors as
designated by the U.S. Secretary of Energy. (Idaho Code § 61-1701 through 61-1709)
The Commission may pre-empt local government land use or permitting decisions if the
local government has: 1) denied a transmission application; 2) failed to timely act on a
transmission application; or 3) has imposed unreasonable or uneconomical conditions on
a transmission permit. Idaho Code § 61-1703 (3).

In instances other than federally designated transmission corridors, the PUC generally
does not exercise permitting or siting authority related to transmission projects.
Occasionally as a prelude to seeking cost recovery for a transmission project, a public
utility may request that the PUC issue a certificate of public convenience and necessity
(CPCN) under Idaho Code § 61-526. The PUC may issue a CPCN if it finds: 1) the
present or future public convenience requires or will require the construction of a
transmission line; and 2) the utility has the financial ability and good faith to serve its

36 View Transportation Fuels for the Future Report at http://www.westgov.org/wga_reports.htm.
32

customers. The PUC may also attach reasonable terms and conditions to the CPCN.
Idaho Code § 61-528. An application for a CPCN or other pleading filed with the
Commission is governed by the PUC’s Rules of Procedure, IDAPA 31.01.01.

The PUC may exercise two forms of “backstop” permitting and siting authority. The first
instance is that cited above in federally designated energy corridors. Also, a local land
use or permitting decision concerning a public utility may become null and void if such
decision is in conflict with a specific order of the PUC, provided that the PUC has given
the affected local government an opportunity to appear or consult with the Commission
regarding such conflict. Idaho Code § 67-6528.

Transmission entities may have eminent domain authority under Idaho Code § 7-701(11).
Using the power of eminent domain for a transmission line in excess of 230 kilovolts on
property devoted to agriculture require a public meeting with 10 days’ notice. Idaho Code
§ 7-704(4).

S-2. For electric generating facilities 50 MW or larger, an “Energy Facility Site
Advisory Team” shall be established consisting of members appointed by the
Departments of Environmental Quality, Water Resources, Commerce, Health and
Welfare, Fish and Game, and Agriculture to provide technical information as
requested by the local jurisdiction.

Since the inception of this policy objective, no requests from local governmental entities
have emerged that would trigger this action item. The state agencies listed within this
action item are ready to engage when asked. As evidence of this commitment, the OER
works collaboratively with local units of government on energy-related projects and is
committed to continuing and expanding existing relationships.

An example of these ongoing relationships includes activities associated with the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The Idaho Office of Energy
Resources (OER), Association of Idaho Cities (AIC) and Idaho Association of Counties
(IAC) have partnered to implement the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant
(EECBG) associated with the ARRA of 2009.

The ARRA established funding opportunities for Idaho cities and counties through a
program administered by OER. The partnership with AIC and IAC is designed to
streamline the process and insure an expeditious deployment of grant funds to the
applicants.

To further illustrate support for this action item, the OER serves as the coordinating
agency for the state on all energy-related projects that require federal permits. This
responsibility requires coordination and cooperation among various state, federal, and
local units of government.

33

Additionally, when project developers emerge, OER routinely serves to facilitate
meetings with appropriate state agencies and other units of government in an effort to
provide all parties with a greater knowledge of the potential development and associated
permitting and application process.

S-3 When permitting large electric generating facilities, local jurisdictions should
be required to make a reasonable effort to hear testimony about the impact of the
facilities from citizens and businesses in neighboring jurisdictions.

Recent generation and transmission projects have attracted the attention of local units of
government who have conducted public hearings in accordance with this policy
recommendation. An example of a specific joint effort to involve citizens and businesses
in neighboring jurisdictions involves the Gateway West Transmission line. While this
effort deals with transmission, the intent of this action item is clearly being realized as
Cassia and Power counties reached out to neighboring counties to include their interests
and concerns in a series of task force meetings related to the project.

IMPLEMENTATION

I-1 The Legislature, in consultation with the Governor, should study whether the
Department of Water Resources should become the Department of Water and
Energy Resources, with the necessary statutory framework prescribing the duties of
the Energy Division within the Department.

In accordance with the intent of this provision of the 2007 Idaho Energy Plan, Governor
C.L. “Butch” Otter created the Office of Energy Resources (OER) via Executive Order
on September 4, 2007.37 The executive order is in effect for four years from the date of
initiation and provides the Governor and the Legislature an appropriate length of time to
determine any necessary statutory framework related to the OER’s duties.

The Governor’s executive order recognized the critical nature of energy resource
considerations as they relate to Idaho’s future. Accordingly, the Governor chose to create
the OER within the Office of the Governor. The Legislature subsequently approved a
dedicated funding source for the OER in 2008 to help insure the long-term stability of the
office.38 The OER is actively engaged in furthering the areas of interest identified within
the 2007 Idaho Energy Plan.

I-2 The Energy Division should engage in public outreach and education and work
with Idaho energy stakeholders to promote a reliable, diverse, cost-effective and

Environmentally-sound energy system for the benefit of Idaho citizens and
businesses.

The newly created OER has assumed the responsibilities of the Energy Division for
purposes of fulfilling the intent of the 2007 Idaho Energy Plan. Toward the goal of
engaging in public outreach and education the OER oversees the organization of the
Idaho Strategic Energy Alliance (ISEA). As was referenced earlier in this report, the
ISEA was created by Governor Otter to bring together Idaho energy stakeholders for the
purpose of promoting a reliable, diverse, cost-effective and environmentally-sound
energy infrastructure for the benefit of Idahoans. A key piece of this effort involves the
need for the ISEA to serve as an “honest broker” for citizens to access information
relevant to the development of Idaho’s energy resources. During its first full year of
existence, the ISEA has initiated the creation of multiple task force reports related to
distinct areas of energy resource development. These task force reports serve to educate
and facilitate additional discussion and understanding of the state’s energy needs and
potential resource development.39 Members of the ISEA are often invited to participate
on behalf of the alliance and its efforts at various public forums throughout the state. To
assist in providing a consistent message about the ISEA and the state’s energy
considerations, a standardized presentation has been prepared for use by alliance
members.40

The OER also plays a key role in fulfilling the intent of this action item through the
following activities:
• OER staff routinely participates in direct involvement with Idaho-based
associations and groups in an effort to provide timely information regarding
energy resource concerns.
• OER has established a website dedicated to providing open and transparent
access to information regarding projects directly under its jurisdiction as well as
energy-related issues that impact Idaho.
• OER actively participates in regional organizations such as the Western
Governors Association that have the potential to impact energy resource
development in Idaho.
• OER serves as the coordinating agency on behalf of the State of Idaho in issues
pertaining to permits and applications for energy projects on federal land.

I-3 The Energy Division and PUC should report to the Legislature every two years
on the progress of Idaho state agencies, energy providers and energy consumers in
implementing the recommendations of this Energy Plan.

This report is a direct result of the recommendation to provide an overview of the
progress associated with the 2007 Idaho Energy Plan. Through the collaborative efforts
of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission and the Office of Energy Resources, this report

represents efforts under way that are designed to achieve the action items identified in the
plan.

I-4 The Interim Committee recommends that the Legislature revisit this Energy
Plan and develop new recommendations on a five-year cycle.

Based on the Interim Committee’s recommendation, the Legislature is slated to revisit
this Energy Plan and develop new recommendations in 2012.

APPENDIX A - Avista IRP
IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
Case No. A VU-E-07-08
March 25, 2008
Contact: Gene Fadness [phone], 890-2712
Website: ww.puc.idaho.gov
A vista counts on natural gas, not coaL, to meet future resource needs
The Idaho Public Utilities Commission has accepted a long-range plan for A vista Utilities that
depends more on natual gas for its future energy resources, rather than coaL.
The Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) outlnes how A vista intends to meet the demands of its
growing customer base over the next decade. A vista, which seres about 1 15,000 customers in
nortern Idaho, says it wil need 350 megawatts from natual gas sources to meet customer
demand. It plans on getting most of that - 275 MW - from the Lancaster Generation Facility
near Rathdru. A vista also plans on adding 300 megawatts from wind sources, 35 MW from
other renewable resources and 87 MW from energy savigs due to conseration measures.
Without the additional generation, the company states it would face generation shortfalls of
about 83 average-megawatts in 2011 and 272 aMW by 2017.
Avista decided to drop plans outlined in an earlier 2005 IRP for coal-fired generation for several
reasons including legislation in Washington state where the utility has most of its customers.
Washigton enacted a greenhouse gas emissions standard that precludes A vista from acquirig a
new pulverzed coal plant or enterng into a long-ter contract with an existing plant.
Several utilities have dropped coal sources from their long-range planing due to new emssions
standards and higher costs associated with the potential for carbon taxes, making coal less
competitive with other generation alternatives.
Avista's 2007 plan also includes fewer renewables - from 500 megawatts to 350 MW - than it
_. had hoped for in its 2005 plan. A vista said the cost of wind resources has increased by more than
100 percent over the last six years. Legislation in Oregon, Washington and other states that
mandates a cerain percentage of generation from renewable sources has increased the demand
for wind tubines. That demand reduces their availability and increases their price.
"Ironically, Idaho presently has neither carbon emission standards nor renewable portfolio
standards, yet the new legislation in other states has effectively limited the new generation
choices for serving Idaho loads," commission staff said. Utilities in Idaho that sere several
states must meet the requirements in all the states they sere. It is "impractical to develop new
generation projects devoted solely to serve Idaho loads," commission staff said.
A vista moved away from natural gas-fied sources in 2005 because of the price volatility in
natual gas markets that drastically increased prices between 2003 and 2005. But with the
elimination of coal-fired generation and the higher cost of renew ables, the utilty retus to
natual gas to meet some of its futue demand.
Commission staff urged A vista to develop new and inovative methods to counteract natual gas
price volatility and to maxize the use of cost-effective load control programs. Furher, staff
said utilities should "dutifully consider the potential for integratig nuclear energy into their
long-ter resource plang."
A vista is planng an additional 87 MW from conseration measures, an 85 percent increase in
conseration since Avista's 2003 IRP and a 25 percent increase over the 2005 IRP.
Acceptance of Avista's IRP does not mean the commssion endorses all the anticipated projects
in the plan. It means only that the utility has complied with a requirement to file an IRP every
two years. The commission recognizes that assumptions and projections can change over time.
"It is the ongoing plang process that we acknowledge, not the conclusion or results," the
commission said.

Website: ww.puc.idaho.gov
PacifCorp relies on renewable energy to meet future needs
State regulators have accepted a planng document filed by PacifiCorp that details how
the utility intends to meet customer needs over the next decade. The utility serves
customers in Washington, Oregon, Utah, Wyoming, Californa and in eastern Idaho,
where, operating as Rocky Mountain Power, it has about 70,000 customers.
PacifiCorp plans to add more than 1,423 megawatts of renewable energy and does not
include any added coal generation in its plan.
The Idaho Public Utilities Commission requires that regulated electrc utilities file an
Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) ever two years. Acceptance of the plan by the
commission does not guarantee that it wil approve ever project proposed durng the 10-
year period. "The IRP, as we continue to note, is a utility planng document that
incorporates assumptions and projections at a point in time. It is the ongoing planng
process that we acknowledge, not the conclusion or results," the commssion said.
PacifiCorp said it wil begin to experence a capacity deficit in 2011 if steps are not taken
soon to increase generation and reduce demand. The utility anticipates a growth rate of
about 2.5 percent per year over the next decade. Further creating the need for more
generation is the 2011 expiration of a major power purchase contract with the Bonneville
Power Administration.
The vast majority of the 1,423 MW in anticipated new renewable generation is expected
to come from wind (1,313 MW) with the rest coming from geothermal (35 MW and
major upgrades to existing hydroelectrc facilties (75 MW.
On the conseration side, the utility plans to save just more than 900 MW from energy
effciency programs and another 105 to 325 MW from programs where the company
remotely reduces demand from customers such as irgators and industr durng times of
peak use. PacifiCorp also plans to add about 831 MW in gas-fied capacity between 2014
and 2016 and gain 170 MW of emissions-free capacity from coal plant tubine upgrades.
The company could have been short on capacity as soon as 2010, but took steps to meet
increased demand in 2008 by acquing a 520-MW natural gas plant in Chehalis,
Washigton, and adding 175 MW of additional wind resources.
PacifiCorp anticipates gainig access to more generation with the completion of its
proposed Gateway transmission project, a joint project with Idaho Power Co. that wil
transport energy from easter Wyomig, though southern Idaho (Gateway West) and
through Utah (Gateway South).
Commssion staff, which operates independently of the commission, commended the
company for a diverse mix of generation resources, while adherng to imposed and
pending environmental regulation. Stafffound it noteworthy that coal-fired generation
does not appear in the company's portfolio of future generation sources.
Staff did express concern that the company anticipates a more than doubling of the wind
integration cost assessed wid developers. The company's 2007 IRP used a cost of$5.10
per megawatt-hour to integrate wind, but includes an $11.75 per MW cost in the curent
IRP. Staff also said that costs included by the company to meet mandated renewable
portfolio standards in other states were not adequately quantified.
The IRP was developed though a collaborative and public process with involvement
from state utility commissions, advocacy groups and interested citizens. The document,
including attachments, is available on the commission's Web site at www.puc.idaho.gov.

Commssion updates rates to be paid developers of small-power projects
Developers of qualifying renewable small-power projects wil be paid considerably more
for their generation as a result of new rates published by state regulators that became
effective Monday.
The Idaho Public Utilities Commission updated both the fuel and non-fuel components of
a mechansm used to calculate the rates that Idaho's three major regulated utilities must
pay to small-power or cogeneration project developers whose projects qualify under the
federal Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act, or PURP A.
PUR A, passed by Congress durng the energy crisis of the late 1970s, requires electrc
utilities to offer to buy power produced by qualifyng small-power producers or
cogenerators. The rate that utilities must pay project developers, called an "avoided-cost
rate," is deterined by state commissions. The avoided-cost rate is to be equal to the cost
the utility avoids if it would have had to generate the power itself or purchase it from
another source. In Idaho, projects canot be larger than 10 megawatts to qualify for the
published avoided-cost rate.
The commission recently issued two orders; one that updates the non-fuel components of
the avoided-cost rate, such as capital costs and operations and maintenance and another
that updates the always varing fuel components of the rate. The fuel component is
adjusted shortly after the Northwest Power and Conseration Council releases a new
natural gas price forecast, which it did in late December.
The result of both orders is an avoided-cost rate that is considerably higher than the
former rate paid by utilities to small-power producers. For example, the developer of a
wind far or geothermal facility with a capacity of less than 10 MW would be paid
$88.67 per megawatt-hour (or about 8.87 cents per kWh) for a 20-year levelized (same
rate all 20 years) contract with Avista Utilities. That compares to the former avoided-cost
rate of$70.12 per MWh.
The thee major investor-owned utilities in Idaho - Idaho Power, PacifiCorp and Avista
Utilities - paricipated in the case as did Black Canyon LLC, which is developing a wind
generation facility in Bonneville County.
PacifiCorp, which does business in eastern Idaho as Rocky Mountai Power, fied a
motion to delay implementing the new avoided-cost rate and, in the absence of a delay,
asked the commssion to decrease the size of projects that can qualify for the published
rate from 10 MW to no larger than 1 MW. PacifiCorp contended the Nortwest Power
and Conseration Council natual gas price forecast was too high given the recessionary
economic environment.
The commission said PacifiCorp did not present enough evidence that the rate is not
reasonable. Furter, the commission said, any utility can petition the commission at any
time if it believes the mechanism used to calculate the rate is uneasonable.
The order updating the published rates is available on the Commission Web site at
ww.puc.idaho.gov.Click on "File Room," then on "Recent Orders and Notices," and
scroll down to Order No. 30744. The order updating the non-fuel component of the
avoided-cost rate is Order No. 30738.
Petitions for reconsideration must be filed with the commssion by no later than April 2.

March 14, 2007

Website: ww.puc.idaho.gov
New rate mechanism designed to encourage energy effciency programs
The Idaho Public Utilities Commission has approved a yearly rate adjustment designed to
remove financial disincentives for Idaho Power Company to implement energy efficiency
programs.
The rate adjustment, called a Fixed Cost Adjustment (FCA), is approved only on a pilot
basis, subject to modification or removal by the commssion.
Curently, when Idaho Power intiates programs designed to encourage customers to
reduce their energy use, it negatively impacts energy sales. If customers signficantly
reduce their consumption though conseration efforts, the company may not recover its
fixed costs of servng customers.
The FCA wil be a yearly adjustment to electrc rates that would prevent the company
from losing money when it invests in energy effciency programs. Often refered to in the
industr as "decoupling," the FCA removes the link between energy effciency and
energy sales by allowing the company to recover its fixed costs regardless of the volume
of energy sales.
Initially, the thee-year pilot program applies only to residential and small-business
customers.
When the commission sets rates, it determines the anual revenue needed by the
company to recover its costs. Durng the rate-settng process, the commission deternes
the fixed cost that should be recovered from residential and commercial customers. The
FCA mechansm wil allow for a "tre-up" between fixed costs actuly recovered
though rates and the fixed cost amount authorized by the commission for recover in the
company's most recent rate case. If the fixed cost recovered were less than the authorized
fixed-cost rate, customers would get a surcharge that can be no higher than 3 percent. If
the company collects more in fixed costs.than authorized by the commssion, customers
would get a credit. The surcharge or credit would last one year when the FCA would
again be updated. According to Idaho Power's estimates, the impact on rates for average
residential customers would typically be $1 or less a month. The fixed-cost adjustment
would be made at the same time the company adjusts bils for its anual power cost
adjustment (PCA), which allows the company an opportty to recover above-normal
costs of supplying power.
In exchange for removal of the fiancial disincentive, the FCA requires Idaho Power to
signficantly increase the size and availability of energy efficiency programs and to
support more energy effcient building and energy codes.
The pilot program is the result of a negotiated settlement between Idaho Power,
commission staff and the Nortwest Energy Coalition. In its comments, the Nortwest
Energy Coalition said "decoupling results in a better alignent of shareholder,
management and customer interests to provide for more economically and
environmentally efficient resource decisions."
The Idaho Citizens Action Network opposed the FCA mechanism as one that would
allow Idaho Power to receive additional revenue without any proof of need. ICAN sought
a more thorough review of the program and public heargs.
In its fidings, the commssion said the program wil require close monitoring, which is
why the FCA is a pilot program. Many of the issues raised by ICAN wil be considered in
the commission's assessment of the program durg the pilot perod, the commission
said.
"Promotion of cost-effective energy effciency... is an integral par ofleast-cost electrc
serce," the commission said. In addition to their environmental benefits, energy
effciency programs benefit all customers because they reduce or elimate the need for
the power company to meet load growt by adding new generation plants or buying
additional power from the wholesale market.
On the same day. the commission approved the FCA mechansm, it also approved a pilot
program that should encourage the constrction of energy-efficient homes.
Idaho Power curently provides an incentive payment of$750 to builder for each home
built to meet energy effciency standards set forth by the ENERGY ST ARan Homes
Nortwest program. The program approved ths week provides incentive payments or
penalties to Idaho Power for meeting or not meeting specified parcipation goals in the
program. Under this pilot, the company will provide marketing to encourage more
paricipation in the program.
On average, homes constrcted to the ENERGY ST AR(ß stadard in Idaho wil save an
estiated 2,078 kilowatt hours anually, or 30 percent greater energy effciency than
existing Idaho residential building codes.
Under ths pilot program, Idaho Power would receive an incentive payment if the market
share of homes constrcted under the ENERGY STAR(ß program exceeds 7 percent of
the total number of residential building perits issued in Idaho Power's serice tertory
in 2007, 9.8 percent of tota serce area homes in 2008 and 11.7 percent of total servce
area homes in 2009. The amount of the incentive would equal the percentage that exceeds
the target. For example, if Idaho Power were able to achieve 105 percent of the 7 percent
target for 2007, it would receive a payment equal to 5 percent of the total program net
benefits. The incentive would be capped at 10 percent of program net benefits. Penalties
would be levied for any year Idaho Power fails to reach the market share of4.9 percent
program paricipation it achieved in 2006. Impact on customer' rates would be
negligible.
The Industral Customer of Idaho Power opposed the program, saying customers should
not be required to pay Idaho Power to induce it to implement cost-effective conseration
activities. The Northwest Energy Coalition endorsed the program because it is strctued
in such a way that Idaho Power wil need to show excellent performance in order to
received incentive payments.

Idaho Power wants to make FCA permanent
Idaho Power Company is asking state regulators to make permanent a program that
allows the utility to recover its fixed costs of delivering energy regardless of the impact
energy efficiency and conservation programs have on energy sales.
The Idaho Public Utilities Commission implemented the Fixed Cost Adjustment (FCA)
in 2007 as a three-year pilot program. The adjustment, sometimes referred to as a
"decoupling mechanism," allows Idaho Power to recover its fixed costs of delivering
energy as established in its most recent general rate case even if there is a reduction in
energy sales and revenues because of energy effciency and demand reduction efforts.
Without a mechansm like the FCA, Idaho Power claims there is a financial disincentive
for it to promote energy efficiency and conservation programs because energy sales may
decline. The FCA allows Idaho Power to recover its established fixed costs through a
surcharge when it under-collects fixed costs because of reduced electrical use.
Conversely, if Idaho Power collects more than its established fixed costs, customers
receive a credit instead of a surcharge.
Durng the first year of the pilot, the FCA resulted in a credit of about 48 cents per month
on an average residential bil. Durng the second year, customers were assessed a
surcharge, or an increase of about 56 cents per month on an average residential bilL. The
FCA applies only to residential and small-business customers.
Idaho Power claims that implementation of the FCA has been a major factor in the
utility's substantial increase in its level of investment in energy effciency and
conservation, from $11.5 milion in 2006 to $21.2 milion durng 2008. That investment
has resulted in significant increases in the number of megawatt-hours saved - a 29
percent increase after the first year and a 54 percent increase after the second year.
According to the company's figures, the megawatt-hours saved durng 2006 was 70,766;
during 2007, the total saved was 91,145; and during 2008, the total was 140,156.
The commission has established a Dec. 16 deadline for parties who want to paricipate in
hearings or file testimony. The commission will later establish a schedule for processing
this case, including comment deadlines for the utility's customers or other interested
paries.
APPENDIX F - Idaho Power Energy Effciency Rider increase
(Excerpt from May 29,2009 press release)
Energy Effciency Rider
IPC-E-09-05, Order No. 30814
The money raised from the 2.5 percent Energy Effciency Rider is used to fund up to 20
programs that reduce customer demand on Idaho Power's electrc system. That demand
reduction reduces the amount of electrcity Idaho Power has to buy or generate, saving
customer money in the long-ru.
On June 1, the rider wil increase from 2.5 percent to 4.75 percent of customer bils. The
increase in the rider is primar due to a new commercial demand response program and a
greater than anticipated paricipation in the Irrgation Peak Rewards Program, which wil
be capable of reducing Idaho Power's peak loads in the sumer by 200 megawatts. None
of the funding from the rider can increase earnings for Idaho Power, but can be
used only to fund energy effciency and conservation programs.
"Rate increases are never popular and are especially unwelcome in diffcult economic
times," the commission said. "However, the information provided shows that energy
effciency programs have been effective in creating more effcient use of electrcity by
customers, and in reducing the peak demand on Idaho Power's system. These results
mean that higher rates to support constrction of new generating facilties have been
delayed or avoided altogether."
The rider was created in 2002, after the Western energy crisis of 2000-0 1. At that time,
the commssion directed Idaho Power to develop comprehensive demand-side
management (DSM) and energy effciency programs to help customers reduce bils and
lessen Idaho Power's dependency on the volatile wholesale market for electrc supply.
Energy efficiency programs in 2008 resulted in 107,484 megawatt-hours of energy
savings, a 72 percent increase over the 2007 total of 62,544 MW. DSM programs that
reduce demand on Idaho Power's system provided 58 megawatts of demand reduction in
2008 compared to 48 MW in 2007. (One megawatt is one milion watts, enough
electrcity to power about 650 average homes and light 10,000 100-watt light bulbs.)
"By encouraging energy effciency programs though relatively modest increases in the
rider, the commssion is delaying, or avoiding altogether, larger rate increases
necessitated by Idaho Power's investment in generation resources," the commission said.
The Nortwest Energy Coalition and the Idaho Irgation Pumper Association filed
comments in support of the rider, although the coalition said the amount of the rider is
"insuffcient to captue all the cost-effective energy savings potential in Idaho Power's
serce tertory and to operate robust demand-response programs to reduce peak
generation resource needs." The coalition noted that ''using electrcity more effciently is
the quickest and least-cost approach to meeting customers' power nees" because it
reduces customer bils and reduces loads durng peak perods when Idaho Power's system
is most stressed.

Commssion reviewing A vista conservation programs
The Idaho Public Utilties Commission is takng comments though Aug. 28 on an
application by A vista Utilities to increase the rider that electrc and natual gas customers
pay to fud conservation programs and to create a mechansm for a yearly adjustment
each spring.
If the commission approves the application, there is no increase to the overall rates
approved by the commission in its July 17 order and made effective on Aug. 1. That
increase - an average 1.5 percent for electrc customer and 1.2 percent for gas customers
already includes the proposed rider adjustments. The net increase approved July 17 was
the result of the following adjustments:
. an increase to base rates for electrc and natual gas customers
. a decrease for electrc customers in the anual Power Cost Adjustment and a
decrease for gas customers in.the anual Purchases Gas Cost Adjustment
. a decrease for residential and small-far electrc customers as a result of the
resumption of the Bonneville Power Admstration's residential exchange credit
. an increase (subject to commssion review in this application) to the energy
effciency rider for electrc and natual gas customers.
The commission directed that the energy effciency rider portions of the adjustment be
made effective Aug. 1 on a temporar basis to avoid having several rate adjustments
within a short period of time. If the commission finds that the company has not
demonstrated a need for an increase in the energy efficiency rider, the rider account will
be adjusted in the near futue to accommodate the comiission's findings.
The rider fuds more than 30 programs in two categories called demand side
management (DSM) and energy effciency. DSM programs reduce customer demand.on
the company's generation sources. Efficiency programs help customers use their
electrcity more effciently. The commission approves rider for electrc and gas utilities
if they are found to be cost -effective for both customers and the utility. DSM and
effciency programs can save customers money in both the short ter by direct customer
paricipation and in the long ter because they prevent or delay the utility from having to
buy or build more expensive generation.
Avista proposes to increase its electrc rider from 2.24 percent to 3.27 percent of
customer bils and the gas rider from 1.55 percent to 2.6 percent. As stated, this proposed
increase is already in the overall rates approved last July 17, subject to commssion
review. Final approval of the rider would increase anual revenue by $5.4 milion.
However, increases in the rider cannot increase or decrease company earnings.
Revenue collected from the rider can be used only to payoff a $2.36 millon shortfall in
the electrc rider fud, a $1 milion shortfall in the gas rider fud and to fund ongoing
programs.
Avista's DSM and effciency effort are based on providing financial incentives or
rebates for customer paricipation in more than 30 programs. Some of the programs
include effciency measures for appliances, compressed air systems, HV AC systems,
industral and commercial equipment, lighting and motors. The programs also include
renewable technologies and sustainable building measures. Furer, A vista has long
encouraged the direct use of natual gas by its electrc customers with rebates for the
conversion of electrc-to-natual gas space and water heater loads.
According to the company's application, A vista contiues to exce tagets in electrc
and gas savings as the result of these programs for its Washigton and Idaho customers.
More than 110 average megawatts of demand-side management programs are now. in
place on the company's tota retal average load (durg 2008) of 1,100 average
megawatts. (A megawatt is one millon watts, enough electrcity to power about 650
average homes.) On the gas side, 1.9 milion thers were saved durng 2008, which was
136 percent of the company's target.
Of all the surcharge revenues collected from Washigton and Idaho electrc and gas
customers, 72 percent were paid back to customers in direct incentives to participate in
energy effciency and demand-side management programs. Ths does not include the
additional benefits such as techncal analysis and education provided to customers by the
company's DSM staff.
In this application, A vista also proposes to reduce large negative or positive adjustments
to the rider by filing on or about Feb. 15 of each year for either an increase or a decrease
to the rider.
According to the company's application, installing energy effciency measures "is a
direct action customers can tae to respond to a period of increasing energy prices facing
the Pacific Northwest and the countr as a whole." The application states that Avista's
energy effciency programs are being used by customers at unprecedented levels.
The commission plans to handle ths request in a modified procedure that uses wrtten
comments rather than conducting a hearg, uness customer comments can demonstrate
a need for a public hearng. Comments are accepted via e-mail by accessing the
commission's homepage at ww.puc.idaho.gov and clickig on "Comments &

Case No. PAC-E..08-01, Order No. 30543
Contact: Gene Fadness [phone],890-2712
Website: ww.puc.idaho.gov
Commssion: Customers wil benefit from increase in efficiency rider
Customers of Rocky Mountain Power in easter Idaho wil pay more for a rider on customer bils
to fud an expansion of the utility's energy efficiency programs. The increase in the rider, from
1.5 percent to 3.72 percent, is about $1.56 per month more for an average residential customer.
The Idaho Public Utilities Commission approved the increase as one that wil be fiancially
beneficial to customers in the long-term. "We fid that demand-side management, conseration,
and energy effciency measures continue to be the least-cost resources that utilities can acquire to
serve new load," the commission said.
PacifiCorp, the parent company of Rocky Mountain Power, anticipates a shortage of energy
resources to serve peak loads this summer. By implementing programs funded by the rider, the
company estimates it wil save 13,140 megawatt-hour per year. At the former 1.5 percent, the
rider fuded programs that saved about 8,000 MW durg 2007.
While those customers who directly parcipate in the conseration programs wil benefit the
most, "all customers, including those with fixed and limited income, will benefit from deferng
the cost of new supply-side resources," the commission said. Furer, Idaho's share of system
supply costs in PacifiCorp's six-state tertory wil decrease from expanded conservation
programs.
Revenue collected from the rider must go directly to fud and adinister energy effciency
programs and canot be used for other puroses. The enanced energy effciency programs wil
offer information, serices and cash incentives to help customers install energy efficient
equipment or make permanent operational changes to reduce consumption and save money.
The commission directed the company to file a report each year on May 1 outlining the programs
and demonstrating their cost-effectiveness. The commission also directed the company to
provide the information necessary to conduct a prudency review of the costs and expenses
related to the program durng the company's next general rate case. "Costs imprudently incured
wil not be paid by customers," the commission said.
The Northwest Energy Coalition filed comments in support of the filing. NWC contends
PacifiCorp has been underding and underachieving energy savings and believes the time is
ripe for a signficant expansion of effort. The commission should make it clear, NWEC said, that
utility performance not be measured on expenditue of fuds, but on the actual energy savings
acquired.
Rocky Mountain Power proposes these changes:
. Expanding the Finswer Express program, which provides incentives for commercial
and industral customers in effcient lighting, premium motors and mechanical upgrades
to heating and cooling systems. Both new constrction and retrofit projects are eligible.
Rocky Mountain Power reports there is a waiting list of business customers wanting to
paricipate.
. Adding the Energy Finswer program to its Idaho jursdiction. Rocky Mountan Power,
which operates as PacifiCorp in five other Wester states, offers ths program in other
states. It would provide incentives and honorarums to builder of new constrction
projects that excee cuent Idaho energy code by at least 10 percent.
. Modifyng and updating the Irgation Energy Savers program, which helps irgators
with system upgrades, including the installation of frequency drives on pumps that help
them to operate more effciently.
. Modifyng the Home Energy Savings program to increase parcipation and align
incentive levels with Idaho markets. The program provides incentives for residential
customers for more efficient use of washing machines, dishwashers, water heaters,
lighting, evaporative cooling, insulation and heat pumps.
Other programs fuded by the rider that will contiue without change are Refrgerator Recycling,
Low-Income Weatherzation Serces and the Irrgation Load Control Credit Rider.

Januar 30,2009
Contact: Gene Fadness [phone], 898-2712
Website: ww.puc.idaho.gov.
Idaho Power gets 3.1 percent increase; 1.6 percent for residential customers
Rates for Idao Power Company cutomer wil increae by an average 3.1 pecent
effective Feb. 1, according to an order issued todayby the Idao Public Utilities
Commssion. Rates for residential customers will increae an average 1.6 percet.
Last July, Idao Power asked the commssion to approve an overl averge 9.89 perent
increase with a requeste 6.31 percent increase for reidential customer. The utility
asked to increase its anual revenue requiement by $66.6 millon. Today's order
authorizes a $20.87 milion increae in anua revenue.
The order also establishes a year-round, three-tired rate stucture for resientu
customers to promote energy effciency and providecost-saving opportnits. The new
non-summer residentu rate of 5.58 cents per kUowat-hour for the first 800 kWh.of
monthly use is actally less than the current non-summer rate of 5.78 cents per kWh
Idaho Power proposed à. two-tiered rate under which customer would pay a rate 20
percent higher than the first tier once thei monthy consption exceeed 600 kWh.
Intead, the commission adopted a thee-tiered rate of 5.58 cents per kWh for non-
sumer use up to 800 kWh; 6.2 cets per kWh for use beteen 801 and 2000 kWh and
7.13 cents for use of2,001 kWh or more. Dug the sumer month, the fist tier is 5.78
cents, the second tier is 6.59 cents and the thd tier, 8.17 cets. Idaho Power's cuent
sumer rate is 5.78 cents on the first 300 kWh and 6.S 1 cents for use beyond that.
Rates for other cutomer classes var depending largely on how much it costs to sere
eah customer class. The rates approved by the commission for the major rate classes
(with the company's origial proposal in parenthesis) are as follows:
Residential- 1.61 percent (6.3 percent)
Small commercial- 0.42 percent (10.6 percent)
Large commercial- 3.35 percent (15 percent)
Industral- 5.62 percent (15 percent)
Irgation ~ 6 percet (15 percent)
In adopting a signficatly smaller revenue requiement than the utility reques, the
commission noted the deteroratig ecnomic conditions since Idaho Power made its
application to the commssion last July. "The volatility of the market and gener
fiancial distress on both a state and national level have trggered signficant commission
concer about ambitious fiancial projections based on 2007 customer growt" and then
extrapolated by the company into 2008, the commssion said.
The commission said it expects Idaho Power to contiue to demonstrate its ongoing
efforts to reduce operating costs and increase effciencies. Because of the tough economic
climate, the commssion said all utilties' fiscal responsibility wil be ''reviewed
extensively and continually."
Even in tough economic times, the commission must abide by state statutes requirng that
regulated electrc utilities be allowed to recover all prudently incured expenses in order
to sere customers in a safe and reliable maner. When the commssion denies cost
recovery to a utility, it must be able to legally demonstrate why the utility's costs were
not prudently incured or in the best interest of customers.
The commission disallowed some of Idaho Power's proposed expenses. The utility
proposed to include in its revenue requirement an increase of nearly $16 milion in
operation and maintenance expenses over 2007 levels based on anticipated growth in its
serice tertory. The commission allowed $2.87 million, noting that ths is an area where
Idaho Power has the most discretion to control costs. The commission also deducted
$11.2 milion from the company's proposed $91.4 millon in net power supply costs (fuel
to operate plants, power purchases from the wholesale market and other utilities and
purchases from in-state small-power facilities).
The commission disallowed the following amounts in these other categories: employee
incentive compensation accounts ($3.2 millon), legal serces ($192,300) and employee
purchase card expenses ($885,000). Idaho Power agreed with commission staffs fidings
to reduce $1.4 million in depreciation expense and $2 milion in payroll expense due to a
lack of increase in employees durng 2008. The company said it has responded to the
economic slowdown by instituting a selective hirig freeze. The commission also is
requing Idaho Power to reimburse customers $3.26 millon over five year. That is the
amount credited to Idaho Power by federal agencies after it successfully challenged the
amount offees it had to pay the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and other
agencies during 1999-2006.
Idaho Power maintained a near 10 percent increase was necessar to recover investments
including $578 millon for 13 new substations, 1,157 miles of distrbution lines and 190
miles of transmission lines over the last three years. Durng the same time perod, the
company claims it increased the amount of electrcity it buys from other utilities from
$876 millon to more than $2 bilion. That includes purchases from renewable sources,
including wind and geotheral. The company anticipates spending about $900 milion
durg 2008-2010 in constrction expenditues.
In a depare from past practice, the commssion allowed the utility to include a greater
proporton of projected costs in rates to more closely align rates with the company's
expenses, thereby improving its credt rating and borrowing capacity. Typically, only
actul, historical costs are included in rates. But because of the time it taes to process a
rate case (about six months), the company often incurs expense that it canot recover
until months after new plant is in use. The commission allowed Idaho Power to include
major plant addition in excess of$2 milion thatwas to be completed by Dec. 31,2008
and allowed it to include an escalation in some expense accounts where a specific trend
could be identifièd. However, the commssion did not allow as much in forecasted
expense as Idaho Power wanted.
The commission approved an 8.18 percent rate of retu and 10.5 percent return on
common equity. The company requested 8.55 percent and 11.25 percent respectively.
Evidence supported a finding that a slightly higher rate of retu is required than the
curent 10.25 percent, the commssion said, in order to attact investors and to improve
the company's credit ratings, which can benefit customers by lowerng Idaho Power's
borrowing costs.
The company's ongoing constrction needs also prompted the commission to include in
rates an allowance for fuds used durng constrction (AFUDC) totaling $6.8 million
related to the Hells Canyon relicensing projects. Typically, AFUDC is not included in
rates until a project is in use and benefittng customers. In 2006, the Idaho Legislatue
amended a 1984 statute that prohibited the commission from including those costs in
rates except in extreme emergencies. The 2006 amendment said constrction work in
progress and plant held for future use can be included in rates if the commission makes
an explicit fiding that including those costs is in the public interest.
Including the Hells Canyon costs is in the public interest, the commission said, because
paying down some relicensing accounts now wil mean smaller rate increases in the
futue because all prudently incured relicensing costs wil have to be included in futue
rates. Furer, the commission said, "Idaho Power's cash flow wil improve, which will
help maintain its credit strengt to access fuds for ongoing constrction projects." The
commission said the relicensing effort, which is required by the Federal Energy
Reguatory Commission and has cost $95.6 million through 2007, is unike a typical
constrction project because it has been under way for nearly 10 years with no certain
completion date. Furher, Idaho Power is able to use the Hells Canyon complex
hydroelectrc projects during relicensing, thus benefiting customers.
The commission also approved a request by the Communty Action Parership
Association ofIdaho (CAP AI) to require Idaho Power to provide $25,000 anually to
each of the state's five communty-action regions for energy-efficiency education
projects. The commission declined a request by CAP AI that Idaho Power increase
fuding for low-income weatherzation. The commssion said the utility is already
actively involved in fuding low-income weatherzation projects.
Other paries in the case besides CAP AI, which represents low- and fixed-income
customers, included the Idaho Irgation Pumpers Association, the Industral Customers
ofIdaho Power, Micron Technology, the U.S. Departent of Energy (on behalf of the
Idaho National Laboratory), the Kroger Company (dba Fred Meyer and Smith's) and the
Snake River Allance. The commssion also held three public workshops for customers,
thee public heargs and a four-day techncal hearng.

Contact: Gene Fadness, [phone], 890-2712 (cell)
Commission OK's installation of automated meters
Idaho Power wil begin this year a thee-yea project to install automated meters
thoughout its souther Idaho service tertory.
Responding to an urgent directive from the Idaho Public Utilities Commission, the utility
wil replace its existing meters with advanced meterg infrastrctue (AMI) that wil
eventully allow customers to monitor electrc prices and adjust their use to take
advantage of lower price-perods. Idaho Power submitted a cost estimate of$71 milion
for the project and wil absorb any costs above that. Rates wil not immediately increase,
but wil be included in base rates as the meters are placed in serice. The commission
also approved the company's request to accelerate the depreciation time frame on its
existing meters down to three years.
The commission is urging Idaho Power to "move forward with all deliberate speed" with
installation beginning ths year in the Boise area, then in 2010 in the Canyon and Payette
regions and, finally, in 201 1 in the Magic Valley, Pocatello and Salmon areas.
The advanced meters can be read from a remote location, negating the need for an Idaho
Power representative to access customer properties. They can provide the company and
individual customers with hourly meter readings and inform customer of current electrc
prices, potentially allowing them to manage their use and reduce their bils.
Other benefits to customers and the company wil include reduced operational costs
associated with meter reading and improved meter reading accuracy, outage monitoring
and theft detection. Customers can also be disconnected and reconnected from a remote
location saving time and labor. There are also biling advantages such as fewer estimated
bils, less re-biling and more flexible biling schedules.
After the Wester energy crsis of2000-2001, the commission said advanced meterg
technology was becoming more necessar. At that time, the commission ordered Idaho
Power to evaluate and report on advanced meterg technology. In 2002, the commission
ordered Idaho Power to complete installation of advanced metering by 2004, but financial
and technical problems made it impossible for the company to meet that time frame.
The commission eventually adopted a phased-in implementation and evaluation
approach, with advanced meters installed in test areas such as Emmett. In an earlier
order, the commission stated. .. "the potential benefits of advanced meterng to
ratepayer and the company are too great to delay. .. implementation indefinitely."
The Idaho Conservation League endorsed adoption of the AMI program, saying it wil
encourage customers to be more effcient, which wil lead to a decrease in overall
electrcal demand and reduce carbon dioxide emssions. AA Idaho opposed the plan,
saying more information should be obtaied through a techncal hearng before imposing
the additional cost of AMI on customers.
The commission said it is mindful of the large capital expense, but said it expects Idaho
Power to "demonstrate its ongoing effort to reduce operating costs and increase
efficiencies and reminds the company that in the curent economic climate its fiscal
responsibilty wil be reviewed extensively and continually."
Copies of the commission's order are available on the commssion's Web site at

IPC-E-08-16. Petitions for reconsideration must be fied by no later than March 5.
APPENDIX M - Update of automated meters in rates
Porton of May 29, 2007, press release including AMI expense in base rates:
Advanced Meterig Infrastructure
IPC-E-09-07, Order No. 30829
Responding to a directive from the commission, Idaho Power has begu a thee-year
process to replace its existing meters with advanced meterng infrastrctue (AMI) that
wil eventually allow customers to monitor electrc prices and adjust their use to take
advantage of lower price-periods.
Idaho Power estimates the project wil cost $71 million over its thee year phase-in
process. In this application, Idaho Power sought the first installment, or $11.2 milion for
investments made between June 1, 2009, and May 31, 2010, which would have resulted
in a 2.22 percent increase.
However, the commission adopted its staffs recommendation to include only costs
though 2009, as more representative of the company's actual investment. The resulting
increase is 1.8 percent. "We are confident that such an approach wil provide the
necessar protection to ratepayers and ensure that the company is able to maintain
adequate cash flow and access to suffcient capital to maintain a secure financial footing
in the midst of the curent economic downtu," the commssion said.
The Snake River Allance fied comments supporting the company's application, but
acknowledged that the meters' benefits won't be realized immediately. However,
"eventul benefits wil lead to real energy savings that wil benefit all customers ...
though reduced energy bils and reduced need for additional investments in generation
and transmission."
The commission is urging Idaho Power to "move forward with all deliberate speed" with
installation beginnng this year in the Boise area, then in 2010 in the Canyon and Payette
regions and, finally, in 201 1 in the Magic Valley, Pocatello and Salmon areas. Idaho
Power is pursing federal stimulus dollars to help fud the project, which could eventually
reduce ratepayer costs.

hereby amended to read as follows:
63-3022B. DEDUCTION FOR INSULA'lO~1 ENERGY EFFICIENCY UPGRADE OF
RESIDENCES. For taxable years
commencing on and after January 1, ~ 2010, an individual taxpayer may
deduct from taxable income an amount actually paid or accrued by the
individual taxpayer during the taxable year for the actual installation~
not replaoement, of insulation energy efficiency upgrade measures within any
existing building in the state of Idaho which serves as a place of residence
. of the individual taxpayer. As useè in tRis seotion, "insulation" means any

(1) Definitions:
(a) "Energy efficiency upgrade measure" means an energy efficiency
improvement to the building envelope, such as insulation, weather
stripping, high efficiency windows, storm doors and windows, or ductsystem insulation and sealing that reduces the energy use. of . that
building component and is actually installed during the taxableyear.
(b) "Existing building" means any single family or duplex .building
constructed and occupied prior to the taxable year' in which the
improvement is made or accrued.
(2) Specific requirements for energy efficient upgrade measures:
(a) Upgrade measures shall meet or exceed the prescriptive value for
the improved building component established by 39-4109, Idaho Code
during the taxable year in which the improvement is paid or accrued
subj ect to the limitation of subsection b and the requirement of
subsection c of this section.

5 insulation value required for the deduction shall be determined by
6 the amount of insulation that can be installed in the cavity using
7 blown fibrous insulation.
8 (c) Window replacements must be Energy Star certified by the U. S.
9 Environmental Protection Agency during the taxable year in which the10 window is installed.11 (d) Duct sealing and insulation upgrades shall be deductible if they12 meet these standards: Duct sealing requires mechanical fastening of13 joints and mastic sealant, and insulation of ducts outside of the14 living area shall be to a minimum R value of eight (8). In addition15 performance testing of duct sealing and static pressure is16 recommended, and the cost of testing and sealing by a technician17 certified and operating according to the Performance Tested Comfort

STATEMNT OF PUROSE
The purpose of this legislation is to update the existing tax
deduction for existing homes. The update removes the restriction
that homes must be built prior to 1976 in order to qualify for a
tax deduction for energy efficiency improvements, defines
minimum levels of efficiency improvements by reference to
current energy efficiency requirements in code, defines energy
efficiency upgrade measures, and provides standards for
insulating, sealing, repairing and sealing ductwork.
FISCA IMPACT
This amendment will be revenue posi ti ve after considering income
tax on installation labor and material and product sale profits
and sales tax on materials and products. The deduction is
estimated to increase 30%--an added state tax loss of $200, 000.
A conservative estimate shows this increase would be offset by
$106, 000 estimated increased income tax on installation income
and material and net product profits and $105, 000 estimated
increased sales tax. State revenue is estimated to increase
overall by approximately $10,500.

Micron Awarded Stimulus Funds for Energy-Efficient Lighting
Technology Development Project
Governor Otter Announces Stimulus Support for Project to Develop Technology,
Reuse Facilties and Create Jobs at
Idaho Innovation Summit at 9:15 a.m. on September 24
The Idaho Offce of Energy Resources (OER) wil award $5 milion in available American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act stimulus funds to Micron Technology Inc. to advance a program
focused on producing energy-effcient Iight-emitting diode (LED) technology.
LED technology uses approx imately 1n of the electricity of today's standard lighting sources.
Applications include general commercial and residential illumination, municipal streetlights and
outdoor area lighting; off-grid lighting powered by solar for remote locations; television and display
backlighting as well as automotive lighting and instrument ilumination.
Micron's LED development efforts were one of four projects selected in May by OER and
reviewed by a council convened by the Idaho Department of Commerce as the best proposals to
stimulate Idaho's economy while creating an industry that promotes energy effciency.
"The project fits Idaho's long-term economic development goals through creation of quality jobs
and career opportunities in an innovative industry," Governor C.L. "Butch" Otter said.
This stimulus funding provides additional financial support to the significant capital and assets
Micron has also committed to the project. These include Idaho- based fabrication facilities, world-
class research and development personnel and advanced production tools and machinery.
OER Administrator Paul Kjellander said, "Investing in a new direction for Idaho's high-technology
industry wil restore jobs and growth for Idaho."
"LED technology aligns well with Micron's core semiconductor technology expertise," said Scott
DeBoer, Micron Vice President of Process R&D. "The stimulus support announced tad ay,
together with the significant R&D investments Micron is making toward this project, further the
possibility that this effort could help Idaho grow as a leader in energy-effcient LED technology."

Proceeds from previous credits used to expand energy efficiency education
The Idaho Public Utilities Commission chose a modified version of a proposal by Idaho
Power Company as the best use of $500,000 for energy efficiency education.
In a related case, the commission chose a modified version of a proposal by Idaho Power
as the best use of $500,000 for energy efficiency education.
In the 2008 emissions credits case, the commission agreed with a recommendation from
the Idaho Energy Education Project that a portion of$19.6 milion in emssions credits be
used for energy education. Proposals for an education program came from IEEP, Idaho
Power Co. and a joint proposal by the Offce of Energy Resources and the State
Deparent of Education.
The commission adopted the Idaho Power proposal, saying it is more focused on schools
withn its servce tertory and has smaller overhead and administrative costs.
Idaho Power's proposal includes expanding its existing program of energy education by
increasing the number of energy audits for homes and schools as well as follow-up
discussion of those audits.
Idaho Power will distrbute classroom energy kits to students to take home. Students wil
be taught how to read meters, including advanced meters that are being installed
throughout Idaho Power's tertory. With meters the students take home, they wil be able
to calculate the energy use of home appliances. Students wil also be invited to paricipate
in audits of school buildings, including makng recommendations for efficiency
measures.
The commission rejected a porton ofIdaho Power's proposal to add two more solar
. projects to the two existing projects in the Solar 4R Schools program. The commission
said the $75,000 allocated for those projects would be better used in the home and school
energy effciency components of the program.
The commission also directed Idaho Power to establish an advisory board to implement
the energy education proposal. Its members wil include some of the pares who
paricipated in the case. The board will also assist Idaho Power in preparng a final report
to the commission after the two-year project is complete.

School districts shall annually allocate moneys for school
building maintenance from any source available to the district
equal to at least two percent (2%) of the replacement value of
school buildings, less the receipt of state funds as provided in
this section. Any school district expending more than four
percent (4%) of the replacement value of school buildings for
school building maintenance in any single fiscal year, beginning
with the expenditures of fiscal year 2005, may apply the excess
as a credit against the two percent (2%) requirement of this
section until such credit is depleted or fifteen (15) years have
expired. The state shall annually provide funds to be allocated
for school building maintenance as follows:
(a) Di vide one (1) by the school district's value index for the
fiscal year, as calculated pursuant to section 33-906B, Idaho
Code; and
(b) -Multiply the result by one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the
replacement value of school buildings.
(c) For purposes of the calculation in this subsection (1),
public charter schools shall be assigned a value index of one
(1) .
(2) State funds shall be appropriated through the
educational support program/division of facilities and disbursed
from the school district building account. The order of fundingsources used to meet the state funding requirements of this
section shall be as follows:
(a) State lottery funds distributed pursuant to section 33-
905 (2), Idaho Code;
(b) If state lottery funds are insufficient to meet the state
funding requirements of this section, then other state funds
available pursuant to section 33-905 (3), Idaho Code, shall be
utilized; and
(c) If the funds in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this subsection
(2) are insufficient to meet the state funding requirements of
this section, then funds available pursuant to section 33-1018B,
Idaho Code, shall be utilized.
(3) Moneys allocated for school building maintenance shall
be used exclusively for the maintenance and repair of school
buildings or any serious or imminent safety hazard on the
property of said school buildings as identified pursuant to
chapter 80, title 39, Idaho Code, and shall be utilized, first,
to abate serious or imminent safety hazards, as identified
pursuant to chapter 80, title 39, Idaho Code. Unexpended moneys
in a school district's school building maintenance allocation
shall be carried over from year to year and shall remain
allocated for the purposes specified in this subsection (3). The
replacement value of school buildings shall be determined by
mul tiplying the numer of square feet of building floor space inschool buildings by eighty-one dollars and forty-five cents
($81.45). Notwithstanding the definition in subsection (8) of
this section, school buildings that are less than one (1) year
old on the first day of school shall not be used in the
replacement value calculation. The joint finance-appropriations
committee shall annually review the replacement value per square
foot when setting appropriations for the educational support
program and may make adjustments to this figure as necessary.
(4) For school buildings first occupied between July 1,
2009, through September 30, 2019, regarding the replacement value
calculation that school districts are directed to use to
determine the amount of moneys such districts shall allocate for
school building maintenance as directed by subsection (1) of this
section, a portion of the square footage of school buildings
first occupied on or after July 1, 2009, and constructed pursuant

APPENDIX CC - Retail rate for net meterig customers
IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
Case No. IPC-E-06-17, Order No. 30227
January 30,2007
Contact: Gene Fadness [phone]
Website: ww.puc.idaho.gov
Net metering customers wi contiue to get retail rate
Net-meterng customers ofIdaho Power Company who generate their own electrcity and sell
their surlus back to the company wil continue to be paid the full retail rate rather than a
wholesale rate. However, an order recently issued by the commission allows the company to
include power supply expenses associated with the net meterng customers in its anual power
cost adjustment (PCA) process for possible recovery from ratepayers.
Idaho Power has about 27 residential and small-business customers who offset their own power
consumption by generating their own power with small hydro, wind or solar projects. Another 13
customers have pending requests for net-meterng generation interconnects.
In August, Idaho Power filed an application with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission to pay
net-meterng residential and small business customers an amount equal to about 85 percent of the
wholesale market rate for electrcity rather than the full retail rate. In December, the company
modified its application to leave the rate paid for excess generation the same. The final order
issued by the commssion leaves the rate the same, but grants Idaho Power's request to recover
expenses associated with the net metering program though its anual power cost adjustment
process. The order also grants the company's request to remove a financial impediment for
customers in classes other than residential and small-businesses to paricipate in net meterng by
removing a requirement that those customers have a second meter.
In its origial application, Idaho Power assered that excess generation from residential and
small-business net metering customers is "non-firm," or interttent. Thus, those customers
should be paid the same rate - a lower wholesale rate - as all sellers of non-firm energy. Under
the curent system of paying full retail rate for excess generation, Idaho Power said it does not
recover its full costs of providing serice to net meterng customers and that those costs are
shifted to the remaining residential and small-business customers who do not have net metering.
Customers do get the full retail rate for all the energy that offsets their own consumption, but, the
company believes that generation in excess of the customer's consumption should be viewed
differently.
The commission said the amount of excess generation sold back to the company by net meterng
customers is not substantial enough to warant a revision to the tarff. The cumulative capacity of
existing net metering projects is 336 kilowatt-hours and the total amount paid for the projects'
excess generation over the past 12 months was $23,102. "Ifthis increased substantially, it would
be necessar to reconsider the pricing of excess generation. There is no need for that
reassessment at ths time," the commssion said.
The commission cautioned potential net meterg customers agaist relying on continuation of
the curent tarff when calculating their investment in net meterg projects. "We must note that
the net meterng program price is a tarff rate. It is not a contract rate. As a taff rate, it is subject
to change," the commssion said. "A peruaive arguent could be made that net meterng
customers are being subsidized by other customers."
