RE: Case No.INT-G-20-03 Annual Maintenance Fee Update
Dear Ms. Noriyuki:
As outlined in Case No. INT-G-20-03, Order No. 34693, lntermountain proposed an annual update to the
Maintenance Fee that will be collected from non-utility RNG producers. Id ot 2. This letter provides the annual
update to the Maintenance Fee that will be in effect from October 1,2021through September 30,2022.
Based on the updated calculation,Intermountain will charge non-utility RNG producers $1,600 per month
beginning October 1,2021through September 30,2022. As outlined in the Application, Intermountain will
track actual expenses incurred and compare them to the revenue generated by the Maintenance Fee. Any
difference will be applied to the calculation of nextyear's Maintenance Fee. Id at 7.
Intermountain has been in negotiations with the three producers that had existing RNG Access contracts prior to
the effective date of Order No. 34693 in an effort to move those producers to contracts that conform with the
Company's RNG facilitation plan. To date, none of the three existing producers have updated their contracts to
conform with the Company's RNG facilitation plan. These three producers are reimbursing the Company for
actual O&M costs incurred. lntermountain will update the Commission once those contracts have been revised.
The Company notes that it is not currently providing RNG Access to any other producers. Any new contracts
the Company enters into will conform to the RNG facilitation plan.
If you should have any questions regarding this update, please don't hesitate to contact me at [phone]
Sincerely,
