PURCHASED POWER ADJUSTMENT RATE )
COMES NOW Capitol Water Corporation ("Capitol", "Applicant" or "Compffiy"), 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).
Applicant's current base rates were established by Order No. 30762 in Case No. CAP-W-08-
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 5.191 to establish rates for Applicant. Together these produce a
total cost of electric power for Applicant of $75,483.41.
Applicant's actual power costs in the calendar year 2021were 593,212. This is a cost of
$17,729 more than embedded in the Company's base rates. This additional cost requires an
adjustment to customer rates of 2.72% as reflected in Exhibit No. 1 attached to this Application.
Applicant proposes to recover these additional electric power costs by replacing the Company's
currently approved Schedule No.3 Purchased Power Cost Adjustment of 0.89% with a new
Purchased Power Cost Adjustment of 2.72%.
Initially when the Commission approved the PPCA for Capitol Water Corporation, it
adopted a three (3) year average of power consumption, as proposed by the Staff of the Commission
(Staff), as more indicative of what to expect in the future. In case (CAP-W-l7-01) the Commission
adopted, the most recent twelve months of power costs as a better more efficient method for the
Company to recover its' increased electric power costs.
