PURCHASED POWER ADJUSTMENT RATE)
COMES NOW Capitol Water Corporation (“Capitol”,“Applicant”or
“Company”),holder of Certificate of Convenience and Necessity Number 239,and files
this Application to change its Schedule No.3 Purchased Power Cost Adjustment rate to
recover the Company’s cost of electricity related to Idaho Power Company’s electric rate
schedules that have been approved by the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (“IPUC”or
Commission.
Subsequent to Applicant’s last case (CAP-W-12-01)Idaho Power Company has
been granted changes in its rates and charges that affect Applicant’s cost of electric
power.Applicant requests that the Commission take official notice of its Order Nos.
32811 (Case No.IPC-E-13-06)and 32821 (Case No.IPC-E-13-10),both of which
affected rates and charges paid by Applicant to Idaho Power Co.for electric service.
Applicant’s current base rates were established by Order No.30762 in Case No.
CAP-W-0$-02.In that order the Commission adopted a three (3)year average of
1,454,401 KWh of electricity consumption at an average cost of 5.190 to establish rates
for Applicant.Together these produce a total cost of electric power for Applicant of
$75,483.41.Recalculating Applicants average cost per KWh at Idaho Power Company’s
current rates produces an average cost of 7.010 per KWh.
APPLICATION 1
CAP-W-13-01
The average cost per KWh at current Idaho Power Company rates,when applied
to the Commission approved average use,produces an annual cost for electric power of
$101,915.This is an increase in annual electric power cost of $26,431 or 36.34%more
than included in Applicants base water rates.
Applicant expects its costs to review the Idaho Power Company cases,determine
their effect on Applicant,prepare and file this application and respond to questions
regarding the Application to be $1,000.Applicant proposes to include these costs
together with the electric power costs for recovery by replacing the Company’s currently
approved Schedule No.3 Purchased Power Cost Adjustment of 1 .85%with a new
Purchased Power Cost Adjustment of 4.22%.This proposed rate incorporates current
Idaho Power Company rates and Applicant’s cost ofprocessing this Application.
Enclosed is one page Exhibit No.1 that presents Applicant’s calculations at Idaho
Power Company’s currently approved rates.Also enclosed is one page Exhibit No.2 that
is a copy of the Company’s current approved Schedule No.3 in legislative format that
shows the proposed change to the Purchased Power Cost Adjustment.
A new Schedule No.3,with the proposed power cost adjustment rate,is enclosed
for the Commission’s approval with an effective date of August 1,2013.
Applicant has provided work papers showing its calculations that develop the
proposed power cost adjustment to the Commission’s Staff for its review.
Applicant requests that the Commission process this Application under its rules of
modified procedure and approve the rates effective August 1,2013
