ORDER
IDAHO POWER COMPANY,
2015 Annual Power Cost U date.
DISPOSITION: STIPULATION ADOPTED; ANNUAL POWER COST
UPDATE APPROVED
In this order, we adopt the stipulation of the parties and approve Idaho Power Company's
Annual Power Cost Update (APCU). The APCU updates the company's net power
supply expenses and results in new rates to go into effect June 1, 2015.
I.
INTRODUCTION
In Order No. 08-238, we approved an automatic adjustment clause for Idaho Power that
allows the company to annually update its net power supply expense included in rates. The
APCU is comprised of two components: an October Update and a March Forecast.
The October Update contains the company's forecasted net power supply expense
reflected on a normalized and unit basis for an April through March test period. The
March Forecast contains the company's net power supply expenses based on updated
actual forecast conditions. The APCU mechanism allows for the rates from the October
Update and March Forecast to become effective on June 1 of each year.

PROCEDURAL IIlSTORY
On October 21, 2014, Idaho Power filed testimony and exhibits for its 2015 APCU,
including the October Update which estimated what the normal power supply expenses
would be for the 12-month test year, April 2015 through March 2016. The company
subsequently filed the March Forecast on March 20, 2015.
Following discovery and settlement discussion, the company, the Citizens' Utility Board
of Oregon (CUB) and the Commission Staff filed a stipulation, attached as Appendix A,
settling all of the outstanding issues between the parties. The parties also filed a joint
explanatory brief in support of the stipulation.
ORDERN0.1
THE 2015 APCU
III.
Idaho Power's 2015 October Update addressed the following variables:
loads, fuel
prices, transportation costs, maintenance rates, heat rates, and forced outage rates for
thermal plants. Its calculations resulted in a cost per unit of$23.44 per megawatt-hour
(MWh),
an
increase of$1.62 per MWh over the previous year's update.1 The 2015
October Update also included a proposed allocation method, which the company
represented as being consistent with the revenue spread methodology we approved in
OrderNo. 10-191.2
The 2015 March Forecast consisted of direct testimony describing the company's
estimateof the expected net power supply expensefor theApril 2015 through March
2016 water year. The March Forecast updated thefollowing variables: fuel prices,
transportation costs, wheeling expenses, planned andforced outages, heat rates, forecast
of normalized sales and loads updatedfor significant changes since the October Update,
forecast hydro generation, wholesale power purchase and sale contracts, forward price
curve, PURPA3 expenses, and the Oregon state allocation factor.
In its March Forecast, the company noted that the onlyfactors that had changed since the
October 2015 Update were fuel prices, heat rates, theforecast of hydro conditionsfrom
the Northwest River Forecast Center, known power purchases and surplus sales resulting
from the company's risk management policy, theforward price curve, and PURPA
contract expenses.4
Among thefactors the 2015 MarchForecast addressed were thefollowing:
1. Fuel prices were updated to reflect changes in forecast natural gas and coal costs,
the increasedmining costs at the BridgerCoal company being the factor with the
greatest impact on fuel prices.5
2. The updated hydro forecast reflected expected low stream flows but hydro
generation is greater than last year's modeled generation due to higher reservoir
3.
levels and higherforecasted Mid-Snake Riverflows.6
PURPA expenses increased due to two additional contracts expected to be
operational during the test period.7
The company calculated a cost per unit for the 2015 March Forecast of$25.00 per MWh,
$1.23 per MWh less than the previous year's$26.23 per MWH per unit cost-a result of
additional hydro generation, lower natural gas prices, and lower electric market prices. 8

Combining the price per unit from the 2015 October Update and 2015 March Forecast
resulted in a cost per unit of$24 .92 per MWh and an overall proposed combined rate
decrease of approximately 1.36 percent or$0.7 million.9 The March Forecast also
included the company's proposed rate spread which the company represented spread
the revenue requirement to the various customers classes in conformance with Order
No. 10-191.1 0
IV.
THE STIPULATION
The parties agree that the Commission should adopt theAPCU forIdaho Power as filed
with the Commission. Specifically, the parties agree that:
1. The company's calculation ofthe cost per unit rate in the 2015October Update
and March Forecast, and the combined rate, is correct and in conformance with
ourOrderNo. 08-238 and that the rates resulting from the agreed upon cost per
unit are fair, just and reasonable.
2. The company's allocation methodology conforms with OrderNo. 10-191.
3. The rates agreed upon in the parties' stipulation should be made effective on
June 1, 2015.1 1
V.
DISCUSSION
Before we may adopt a stipulation, we must find that it is supported by competent
evidence in the record, appropriately resolves the issues in the case, and results in just
and reasonable rates.1 2 Both Staff andCUB conducted a thorough investigation of the
company's testimony and exhibits, served numerous data requests, participated in
settlement conferences, and concluded that no issues in the company's filing warranted
responsive testimony. 1 3
Staff and all parties entered into the stipulation that resolves all
relevant issues in this proceeding and have each executed the joint explanatory brief.
No person has filed an objection to the stipulation. We therefore fmd that the record in
the case is sufficient to conclude that the company's calculations are correct and conform
to Commission precedent.
We have examined the stipulation, the joint explanatory brief, and the pertinent record
in the case. Wefind that the stipulation is supported by the record, which includes the
company's testimony and exhibits describing the detailed calculations supporting both
the 2015October Update and the MarchForecast. We therefore conclude that the
resulting rates are just and reasonablefor resolution of the issues in this docket.
The stipulation should be adopted in its entirety.
