Wyoming Public Service Commission's (Commission) Procedural
Rules and Special Regulations, notice is hereby given of the application
of Rocky Mountain Power (the Company) requesting authority revise
rates in Tariff Schedule 93, REC and SO2 Adjustment Mechanism
(RRA), as more fully described below
Rocky Mountain Power (or the "Company") is a public utility, as
defined in W.S. §37-1-101(a)(vi)(C), providing retail electric public
utility service under certificates of public convenience and necessity
issued by the Commission. Rocky Mountain Power is subject to the
Commission's jurisdiction under W.S. §37-2d 12.
On March 15, 2012, Rocky Mountain Power submitted an
application, together with testimony, exhibits and revised tariff sheets
requesting authority to revise rates in Tariff Schedule 93, RRA by
reducing the revenue credit by approximately $1.26 million. Rocky
Mountain Power is also proposing changes to Tariff Schedule 93
to reflect the rate spread provisions agreed to by the Parties, and
approved by the Commission in the Settlement Agreement in the
Company's 2010 general rate case in Docket No. 20000-384-ER-10
(Sub 384).
Tariff Schedule 93 allows the Company to include in monthly
customer billings a surcharge or credit based on a per kilowatt
and per kilowatt-hour rate to reflect the sale of Renewable Energy
Credits (RECs) and sulfur dioxide (SOz) emission allowances. The
currently effective RRA in rates was developed for the forecast period
beginning January 1,2011, and ending December 31, 2011. According
to the Company, the Wyoming allocated REC and SO2 sales revenue
credited to customers through the current RRA rates during 2011 is
approximately $17.8 million, which includes a load adjustment and
time value of money adjustment pursuant to the terms of Schedule 93.
The actual REC and SO2 sales revenue received by Rocky Mountain
Power during the 2011 comparison period was approximately $15.7
million including the time value of money adjustments. Rocky
Mountain Power states that the difference between the revenue
credit included in rates and the sales revenue actually received is
approximately $2.1 million. Rocky Mountain Power states that after
adding the annual comparison period carrying charge of $22,089 and
interest from the end of the comparison period to the rate effective
date of May 15, 2012, in the amount of $13,969, and interest during
the rate effective period in the amount of $18,548, the net REC and
SO. deferred balance owing to the Company for calendar year 2011 is
app'roximately $2.2 million.
Rocky Mountain Power states that the forecast period in this
application is the 12 months ending December 31, 2012. The Wyoming
allocated REC and SO2 sales revenue forecast for the 2012 forecast
period including interest during the recovery period is approximately
816.7 million, which includes an adjustment for the time value of
money as specified in the tariff. The combination of the forecast 2012
RRA revenues and the deferred 2011 RRA balance is approximately
$14.5 million. According to Rocky Mountain Power, current RRA rates
and billing determinants for 201 retails will result in a revenue credit
of approximately $15.8 million. A comparison of the existing RRA tariff
rates as determined in Sub 384 (approximately 815.8 million) to the
current RRA application comprised of forecast of 2012 sales revenues NOTICE OF SPECIAL ELECTION
