"Company''), holder of Certificate of Convenience and Necessity Number 239, and files

recover the Company's cost of electicity related to Idatro Power Company's electic rate
schedules that have been approved by the Idatro Public Utilities Commission ("IPUC" or
Commission.
Subsequent to Applicant's last case (CAP-W-13-01) Idaho Power Company has
been granted changes in its rates and chmges that affect Applicant's cost of electic
power. Applicant requests that the Commission take official notice of Idatro Power
Company rates and charges currently in effect and on file with the Commission.
Applicant's current base rates were established by Order No. 30762 in Case No.
CAP-W-08-O2. Inthat order the Commission adopted a three (3) year average of
1,454,401KWh of electricity consumption at an average cost of 5.191 to establish rates
for Applicant. Together these produce a total cost of electic power for Applicant of
$75,483.4L Recalculating Applicants average cost per KWh at Idatro Power Company's
current rates produces an average cost of 7.151per KWh.
The average cost per KWh at curent Idaho Power Company rates, when applied
to the Commission approved average use, produces an annual cost for electric power of

$103,937. This is an increase in annual electric power cost of $28 ,454 or 37.7Yo more
than included in Applicants base water rates.

their effect on Applicant, prepare and file this application and respond to questions
regarding the Application to be $1,100. 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 4,2Yo with a new
Purchased Power Cost Adjustment of 4.53 %. This proposed rate incorporates current
Idatro Power Company rates and Applicant's cost of processing 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
