Page 2 of3
Commission's regulations implementing PURP A by requiring PacifiCorp to pay more than its
full avoided cost for QF output.
This tariff filing is supported by affidavits and exhibits from the following PacifiCorp witnesses:
• Bruce Griswold, Director of Short Term Origination, PacifiCorp (Merchant)
• Dennis Desmarais, Director Transmission Services, PacifiCorp (Transmission)
This tariff filing is further supported by the enclosed memorandum of law discussing the need
for and impact of the proposed tariff revisions.
PacifiCorp notes that it has received multiple pending requests for Schedule 37 power purchase
agreements that are likely to require additional transmission and will therefore implicate the
revisions proposed in this advice filing. PacifiCorp respectfully requests that the enclosed tariff
sheets be allowed to become effective on July 27, 2011. As discussed in the memorandum of
law, if the Commission decides to open an investigation regarding this advice filing, then the
Company requests that the tariff sheets be allowed to go into effect on a provisional basis until
the investigation is completed.
PacifiCorp has provided notice of Advice No. 11-011 to all small QFs (10 MW or less) with a
pending application for a Schedule 37 PPA or with a pending application to interconnect with
PacifiCorp's Oregon system. PacifiCorp has also posted notice of Advice No. 11-011 on the
portion of its website addressing PacifiCorp's QF program. A copy of the notice is enclosed as
Exhibit C to the Affidavit of Bruce Griswold.
