RIVIP Docket No. 2000 I; F A-19
PUBLIC NOTICE
Pursuant to the Wyoming Administrative Procedure Act and the
Wyoming Public Service Commission's (Commission) Procedural
Rules, notice is hereby given of Rocky Mountain Power's (RMP or
the Company) "Application to decrease rates under Tariff Schedule
197, 2017 Federal Tax Cut Adjustment.
RMP is a public utility as defined in Wyo. Stat. 37-1-101 (a)(vi)
(C), subject to the Commission's jurisdiction pursuant to Wyo. Stat.
37-2-112.
On or about December 22, 2017, federal tax legislation was
enacted titled "An Act to Provide Reconciliation Pm;suant to Titles
II and IV of the Concurrent Resolution of the Budget for Fiscal
Year 2018" (Fax Cuts and Jobs Act or TCJA). On May 16, 2018, the
Company submitted an application proposing to return the benefits
of the TCJA. Specifically, RMP requested Commission approval of [i]
proposed Tariff Schedule 197 to authorize the Company to reduce
currents rates addressing the benefits from the TCJA; and [ii] approve
the Stipulation entered into between RMP and Wyoming Industrial
Energy Consumers. The Company proposed rate credits that reduce
Wyoming customer retail rates by approximately $26.1 million (3.8%).
RMP stated the total reduction included an annual credit allocation
of 822.5 million in Tariff Schedule 197 to all retail tariff customers
using the class cost of service from RMP's most recent general rate
case (Sub 469) as well as an additional allocation of $3.6 million to
offset the recent 2018 ECAM docket. By its Memorandum Opinion,
Findings and Order Approving Stipulation issued on March 15, 2019,
in Sub 469, the Commission approved the part of the Stipulation in
which the parties agreed to refund $22.5 million of the tax benefits
to customers until the next general rate case using the average-of-
period rate base calculations and rejected the part of the Stipulation
in which parties agreed to use some of the benefits to automatically
offset future costs related to the ECAM and Energy Vision 2020
projects.
On April 17, 2019, RMP filed its Application requesting to
decrease rates under Tariff Schedule 197, 2017 Federal Tax Cut
Adjustment. Specifically, RMP requests to decrease rates by $0.04
million (or 0.05 percent) to deliver additional benefits from the TCJA.
RMP states the $22.5 million refund continues to be reflected in the
Schedule 197 rates by the Company is replacing the $3.6 million to
offset the 2018 Energy Cost Adjustment Mechanism (ECAM) with
rates to refund to customers $3.96 million. The 83.96 million refund
will partly offset the costs the Company seek to recover in the 2019
ECAM application which requested a total increase to customer rates
of approximately $9.97 million. The Company calculated its proposed
rate credits from Schedule 197 using the rate base allocation from the
class cost of service study included in Sub 469.
80.4 million.

persons may inspect the Application at the Commission's offices in
Cheyenne, Wyoming during regular business hours. The Application

rates will result in an overall customer rate reduction of approximately
