the Customer billed is not a resident or occupant of the premises being served. The
Company will notify the residents or occupants of its intent to terminate service at least two
(2) calendar days, excluding weekends and holidays, prior to the proposed date of
termination and shall afford the person or persons receiving the service, a reasonable
opportunity to negotiate directly with the Company and to purchase service in their own
names.

8. PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS
(a) When a Customer cannot pay a bill in full, the Company shall continue to serve the
Customer if the Customer and the Company agree on a reasonable portion of the
outstanding bill to be paid immediately, and the manner in which the balance of the
outstanding bill shall be paid.

(b) In deciding on the reasonableness of a particular agreement, the Company will take into
account the Customer's ability to pay, the size of the unpaid balance, the Customer's
payment history, and the amount of time and reasons why the debt is outstanding.

(c) Payments are to be applied to the oldest balance owed on the Customer's bill, except in the
case of a disputed bill. If the Customer disputes a bill, the Customer's payments are to be
applied to the oldest undisputed amount.

(d) If a Customer fails to make the payment agreed upon by the date that it is due, the Company
may, but is not obligated to, enter into a second such agreement.

(e) No payment arrangement shall be binding upon a Customer if it requires the Customer to
forego any right provided for in these regulations.

(f) Payment arrangements may be in the form of a Level Pay Plan that will equalize monthly
payments of all arrears, if any, and anticipated future bill amounts over a period of not less
than one year. No Customer agreeing to a reasonable payment arrangement is required to
choose this plan.

(g) The first payment under the arrangement will be due one business day after the
arrangement, unless the Company grants an extension. If the initial payment is not made, or
if any check not honored by the bank is offered as initial payment, the Company may
terminate service upon 24-hour notice to the Customer.

contacted the Customer's third party and has failed to receive a response from the Customer
within seven days after the third party was contacted, the Company may treat the Customer
as one who has been contacted and has declined to enter into a reasonable payment
arrangement.

9. CHARGES FOR COLLECTION ACTIVITY
(a) Reconnection Charge: Whenever service has been discontinued by Company because of
any default by the Customer, as provided in these rules, a charge to cover the cost of
reconnection as specified in Schedule 300 may be collected by Company before service is
restored. Customers who make satisfactory arrangements with Company between the hours

hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on holidays and weekends, will have service reconnected
the same day. Except for medical emergencies, reconnections required for safety reasons or
where customers are disconnected in error, requests for reconnection received by Company
during all other hours will be completed on the following day.

(b) Tampering/Unauthorized Reconnection Charge: Where damage to Company’s facilities
has occurred due to tampering or where reconnection of service has been made by other
than Company Personnel a Tampering/Unauthorized Reconnection Charge may be collected
as specified in Schedule No. 300. This charge is not a waiver by Company of the rights to
recover losses due to tampering. In addition to the above mentioned charge, person
receiving service shall be responsible for paying for any damages to the Company’s
equipment as a result of tampering.

(c) Field Visit Charge: The Company may assess the Customer the Field Visit Charge shown
on Schedule 300 when an employee visits a Customer’s address, intending to disconnect
service, but at the time of the visit, disconnection is either delayed or postponed to provide
the Customer additional time to pay, make payment arrangements, or provide proof of
payment; or the disconnection is prevented by an intentional action taken by the Customer,
such as obstructing access to the Customer’s meter or threatening to cause or causing
physical harm to the Company representative.

(c) Refunds
The Company will make no refunds on Developer advances for facilities installed within a
development for the exclusive purpose of serving the development.

If the Company has upsized distribution facilities within the development beyond what was
necessary to serve customers within the development, so an Applicant adjacent to the
development can take service, a refund is due to the developer. A Developer may receive
refunds on an extension to the development if Applicants outside the development connect
to that line. A Developer may also receive refunds for a primary voltage line installed
alongside, in, or through the development for the purpose of future use, if Applicants
outside the development connect to that line. The Developer is eligible for refunds during
the first five (5) years following construction of the Extension for up to four (4) additional
Applicants as given in section 1(k) Refunds. Each of these Applicants, for which a refund
was not waived, must pay the Company prior to connection, 20% of the Developer’s
advance for the shared facilities. The Company will refund such payments to the Developer.

For facilities that a Developer pays a portion of based on the ratio of their new load to
the available capacity, and the Company pays the remainder, there are no refunds.

______________

Curtailment Plan for Electric Energy
_____________

INTRODUCTION:

The Idaho Public Utilities Commission ordered1 the Company and other suppliers of electric service
operating in the State of Idaho to adopt provisions relating to electric service curtailment. This document
summarizes the curtailment plan employed by the Company to temporarily interrupt electric service to its
customers during emergencies and power shortages. It is intended to provide equitable procedures for the
curtailment of power, minimize adverse impacts to essential services, and customers, while maintain overall
system reliability.

The curtailment plan is operational 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to help ensuring that the Company is
able to:
• Match customer demand and electrical supply generation;
• Maintain the integrity of the electricity network;
• Deploy available resources to restore electrical supply to normal as soon as is practicable;
• Apply existing processes to keep customers and stakeholders informed of the state and progress of the
incident or emergency;
• Utilize communication avenues to appeal to customers to reduce energy consumption;
• Coordinate with appropriate agencies to provide options to lessen the impact to customers;
• Meet applicable operating standards.
Operating Standards
The Company is a member of the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC), one of the eight
Regional Entities of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC). The Company also
supports Regional Reliability Coordinators, who monitor voltages, frequencies, and other reliability indices.

WECC develops and implements Regional Reliability Standards and Criteria for the Western
Interconnection and is the regional entity responsible for compliance monitoring and enforcement with
delegated authority from the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC).

Operating Standards (continued)
Bulk electric system reliability and operating standards for utilities in the western part of the United States
provide for a coordinated effort to effectively manage energy shortage situations and includes shedding firm
load in an emergency situation using the Company’s Under Frequency and/or Under Voltage Load Shedding
programs to arrest declining frequency, assist recovery of frequency following under frequency events and
provide last resort system preservation measures to prevent a blackout or voltage collapse.

Emergencies that threaten the integrity of the electric system can develop at any time due to shortage of
generation or disturbances on the system, either locally or within the Western Interconnect. The actions
necessary to prevent total collapse of the system will be to; restrict customer demand, match generation
availability, implement network capacity limitations. The circumstances necessitating a reduction in the
demand or consumption of electricity in the short term will require that immediate emergency action is
taken and may potentially lead directly to firm load curtailment.

SECTION I. PURPOSE AND OVERVIEW OF THE CURTAILMENT PLAN

This plan identifies the process by which the Company would initiate and implement regional load
curtailment. The goal of this plan is to accomplish curtailment while treating customers fairly and equitably,
minimizing adverse impacts from curtailment, complying with existing State laws and regulations, and
providing for smooth, efficient, and effective curtailment administration.

SECTION II. LOAD CURTAILMENT

The Company will comply with all State and Federal mandates to curtail the electric energy used by its
customers to stabilize system voltage and frequency in order to prevent a regional system collapse. Events
that may trigger load curtailment, either upon notice from state agencies, the Peak Regional Reliability
Coordinator, or at the discretion of the Company, include but not limited to:

• Loss of major generation or transmission equipment due to mechanical or electrical failure.
• Extreme hot or cold temperatures that create a network peak where generation capacity does not meet
load center requirements.
• System disturbance within the regional balancing area.

Initiation of Load Curtailment

Load curtailment will be initiated when directed by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation
(NERC), the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) authorities, or by order of the Idaho Public
Utility Commission under its authority provided for in Idaho Code § 61-534. However, nothing precludes
the Company from requesting voluntary load reduction at any time.

SECTION II. LOAD CURTAILMENT (continued)

Automatic, Remote and Manual Actions
Automatic actions occur through the operation of programmed protective equipment installed in the
Company's electrical system, including, without limitation, such equipment as automatic relays, generator
controls, circuit breakers, and switches. This equipment is preset to operate under certain prescribed
conditions which, in the sole judgment of Company, threaten system performance, integrity, reliability or
stability.

Where Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (“SCADA”) equipment is installed, the Company will
remotely control switches, circuit breakers, relays, voltage regulators or other equipment. In areas where no
SCADA equipment is installed, actions are performed manually by on-site field personnel.

If actions are undertaken, then to the extent permitted by the operating characteristics of the electrical
system, the Company will perform such actions so that interruption, curtailment, or fluctuation of service to
customers will be accomplished sequentially, unless it is necessary in the sole judgment of the Company, or
if required by the Peak Regional Reliability Coordinator to vary said sequence in order to protect system
performance, integrity, reliability or stability.

SECTION III. CURTAILMENT STAGES

State curtailment directives apply to all retail loads served within the State of Idaho. The curtailment stages
are associated with increasing energy deficits. The circumstances necessitating a reduction in the demand or
consumption of electricity in the short term will normally require that immediate emergency action is taken
and there may be no warning. Sudden equipment outages or loss of generation could potentially lead
directly to any curtailment stage without prior notice or progression of the stages described below.

Stage # Nature Type of Curtailment

SECTION IV. INITIATION OF LOAD CURTAILMENT

Interruptible Loads
Large interruptible customers with allowable curtailment allotments are available for emergency load
curtailment and are the first to be utilized when immediate system stabilization is required.
It should be noted that the amount of available capacity for emergency load curtailment is negotiated in
contractual agreements and therefore subject to change per contract renewals and negotiations.
Block Rotation
Selected distribution feeders throughout the service territory have been grouped into blocks of
approximately 100 MW in size. These blocks provide for two (2) hour rotational curtailments to be used in
scheduled combinations to ensure that the required load shed amount is achieved. Block rotation may be
utilized to support system stabilization following a system disturbance, or to maintain system integrity
during peak load periods.

During load curtailment the Company would rotate through the blocks until curtailment is no longer
necessary. Block rotation is dependent on what day of the week and time of day the curtailment event is
enacted. This provides for equitable treatment to affected customers. Blocks are aggregated to match
reduction thresholds during events.

Emergency Load Shed Groups
Predetermined localized load shed groups are utilized for situations where load reductions might be
necessary for specific high load areas. These areas generally require specialized load curtailment schemes to
accommodate transmission path restrictions. These load shed groups contain only SCADA controllable
circuits.

Minimization of Impact
The Company will implement rotational curtailment in as fair and equitable a manner as practicable, with
the goal of minimizing the impacts on communities. Where known and feasible within operational
parameters, distribution feeders serving facilities essential to the public welfare are avoided during
rotational curtailment. However, it should be noted that the Company cannot definitively account for all
such facilities, nor is it possible to exclude every known facility from the impacts of curtailment.
Such essential facilities include:
• Hospitals
• 911 centers
• Airports and FAA facilities
• Large sewer and water treatment plants
• Major metropolitan downtown core areas
• Facilities critical to electric system operation
• Prisons, police and fire stations including related computer and communication centers
• Radio, TV news, emergency broadcast stations and transmitting facilities
• U.S. Military installations

SECTION V. NOTIFICATIONS AND ACTIONS

Throughout the curtailment period the Company will provide customers and external State and regulatory
stakeholders with as much information as possible utilizing established processes and protocols.

The Company’s incident management strategy for an energy emergency is consistent with the National
Incident Management System and Incident Command System, and provides effective coordination through:

• Procedures that allow system and field operations to focus on critical functional responsibilities;
• Providing pertinent information to internal and external stakeholders, customers, regulators, media
outlets, etc.;
• Flexible response to changing circumstances, special customer needs and emergencies.
Stage 1: Interruptible Loads and Demand Side Management
The Company would not normally contact the public or news media when it exercises options under
interruptible contract provisions and demand side management programs.

Stage 2: Public Appeal for Conservation
At the Company’s discretion, a public appeal for voluntary energy conservation may be issued through
media outlets, social media platforms, and automated outbound calling of customers requesting voluntary
curtailment of nonessential uses.

Additionally, the Company will initiate curtailment of all nonessential Company use, request curtailment of
nonessential use by governmental agencies and institutions at all levels, request voluntary curtailment of
nonessential use in all large buildings, and direct specific requests to major use customers for voluntary
curtailment of nonessential use.

If additional curtailment is required the Company will intensify its request to the public, including requests
to curtail less-essential uses, and notice that if curtailment does not occur, mandatory curtailment may be
necessary by utilizing block rotation methods.
Stage 3: Peak Load Curtailment
Prior to any rotating outages, the Company, to the best of its ability will contact key external stakeholders to
inform them of the situation. To the extent possible, areas targeted for rotating outages may be disclosed at
this time, together with some estimate of how long the outages will be necessary. The magnitude of the
event will dictate the administrative level to which external notifications will be made.

SECTION V. NOTIFICATIONS AND ACTIONS (continued)

Key external stakeholders include, but are not limited to:
• Governor’s office
• Utility Commissions
• State energy/emergency response officials
• Legislative leadership
• Key customer accounts

Stage 4: Block Load Curtailment
In addition to the actions above, to the extent possible, customers in the areas targeted for rotating outages
will be notified as soon as practicable and provided with an estimate of the time their block will be curtailed
and the expected duration.

Stage 5: Emergency Load Shed Groups
Generally, no advance notice of an event necessitating emergency load shed is available. Therefore, it is to
be expected that all internal and external notifications will occur as soon as information is known.
