cHANcE ITS SCHEDULE NO.3 ) APPLICATION
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 ldaho 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-15-01) 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 Idaho 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-O8-02. Inthat order the Commission adopted a three (3) year average of
1,454,401KWh of electricity consumption at an average cost of 5.19(, 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 7.151 per KWh.
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
APPLICATION 1
CAP-W-16-01
5t03,972. This is an increase in annual electric power cost of $28,488 or 37 .7%o morc
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 $1,100. 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 4.25% with a new
Purchased Power Cost Adjustment of 4.54 %. This proposed rate incorporates current
Idaho 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
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 15, 2016.
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 15,2016
Capitol Water Corporation will inform its customers of this application through a
customer notice that will be included with customer bills to be mailed July l, 2015 and
