PUBLIC NOTICES
Rocky. Mr. Power tax benefit
PUBLIC NOTICE
Pursuant to the Wyoming Administrative Procedure Act and the
Wyoming Public Service Commission's (Commission) Rules,
the Commission hereby gives notice that Rocky Mountain Power
(Rocky Mountain or the Company) has applied to the Commission
for an accounting order to establish a regulatory asset, as more fully
described below.
Rocky Mountain is a public utility as defined in W.S. § 37-1-101(a)
(vi)(C) which provides 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. § 37-2-112.
Rocky Mountain is a public utility as defined in W.S. § 37-1-101(a)
(vi)(C), and as such, subject to the Commission's jurisdiction under
W.S. § 37-2-112.
On April 5, 2010, Rocky Mountain submitted an application seeking
an accounting order authorizing it to record a regulatory asset
associated with tax benefits previously reflected in rates that will
no longer be realized for certain costs incurred for post-retirement
prescription drug coverage as a result of the March 23, 2010, Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act (the "Act"). The Company states
the Act changed the deductibility of certain costs incurred for post-
retirement prescription drug coverage and the Company proposes
to remedy that by amortizing the regulatory asset over a period
of four years beginning January 1, 2011, and credit the deferred
tax expense to recover the Wyoming portion of the tax benefits
previously reflected in rates.
The Company states this $11.4 million regulatory asset When
amortized and grossed up for tax effects, results in a revenue
requirement impact of approximately $18.5 million on a total Company
basis amortized over four years. The Company further explains that
Wyoming's share of the regulatory-assets will be established based
on the system overhead allocation factor, resulting in approximately
$2.8 million.
This is not a complete description of the Application. Interested
persons may inspect the application at Rocky Mountain's business
offices throughout Wyoming and at the Commission's offices in
Cheyenne, Wyoming, during regular business hours.
Anyone wishing to file a statement, intervention petition, protest or
request for a public hearing inthis matter must do so in writing filed
with the Commission on or before May 7, 2010. Any intervention
request filed with the Commission shall set forth the grounds of the
proposed intervention or request for hearing as well as the position
and the interest of the petRioner in this proceeding. Please be sure
to mention Docket No. 20000-367-EA-10 in all correspondence with
the Commission.
If you wish to intervene in this matter or request a public hearing
which you will attend and you require reasonable accommodation
for a disability, call the Commission at (307) 777-7427 or write to

Rocky. Mr. Power EnerLV Cost Adiuctment
PUBLIC NOTICE
Pursuant to the wyoming Administrative Procedure Act and the
wyoming Public Service Commission's Procedural Rules and
Special Regulations, notice is hereby given of the application of
Rocky Mountain Power (RMP) for authority to implement an Energy
Cost Adjustment Mechanism (ECAM), as more fully described
below.
On April 5, 2010, RMP submitted an application, together with
exhibits and revised tariff sheets, requesting authority to implement
an ECAM to replace the existing Power Cost Adjustment Mechanism
(PCAM). The existing PCAM sunsets at the end of the historical
period on November 30, 2010. The final rate effective period for
amortization and recovery (or retum) of deferred net power costs
related to the current PCAM beginsApril 1,2011, and ends March 31,
2012; RMP stated thatthe replacement for the PCAM, asopposed
to elimination without replacement, is critical if the Company is to
have a reasonable opportunity to recover prudently incurred net
power costs (NPC) directly related to serving Wyoming customers.
The proposed ECAM will allow the Company to account for and
collect or credit the differences between actual NPC and a base
level of NPC established in either a general rate case or in an ECAM
case. On a monthly basis, RMP states that it will compare the actual
system NPC to the base NPC in rates and defer the differences in
the ECAM balancing account.
In this filing, RMP proposes to modify the relevant dates of the current
PCAM to simplify the preparation and review of the ECAM RMP
proposed to file an annual ECAM application on or before March 15 th
of each year, effective June 1 stOf each year. RMP also proposes
that the ECAM shall be computed on a per-unit (dollars/MWh)
basis. RMP states this will simplify the calculations and eliminate
the complex allocation mechanism embedded in the current PCAM.
RMP states that a per-unit calculation also accounts for fluctuations
in volume differences in the base versus the actual experience. In
addition, RMP proposes that the monthly interest on the net balance
in the ECAM account continue to be symmetrical, as it is with the
current PCAM. RMP proposes to include in the ECAM sulfur dioxide
