NOTICE SETTING PUBLIC HEARING

Pursuant to the Wyoming Administrative Procedure Act and the Wyoming Public Service Commission’s (Commission) Rules, notice is hereby given that a public hearing is scheduled regarding Rocky Mountain Power’s (RMP or the Company) request for authority to update Schedules 37 and 38 for Avoided Cost Purchases of Power for Qualifying Facilities. The public hearing is set to commence on Thursday, March 5, 2026, at 9:00 a.m., in the Commission’s hearing room located at 2515 Warren Avenue, Suite 300, in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

RMP is a division of PacifiCorp, an Oregon Corporation, engaged in the business of supplying electric utility service to customers throughout its service territory in six states, including parts of Wyoming for which the Commission has issued the Company certificates of public convenience and necessity. RMP is a public utility subject to the Commission’s jurisdiction. Wyo. Stat. § 37-1-101(a)(vi)(C) and 37-2-112.

  1. On June 30, 2025, RMP filed the Application to revise the methodology used in tariff Schedule 37 and Schedule 38 to align with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) 2020 Public Utilities Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA) revisions, which address the risks of forecasted avoided energy and capacity costs. RMP seeks to require locational marginal pricing (LMP) using Wyoming WEIM nodal information for non-firm energy purchases, to modify the current Partial Displacement Differential Revenue Requirement (PDDRR) methodology for firm energy purchases to incorporate the 2025 IRP, to reflect third-party ownership of proxy resources.
  2. Renewable Energy Coalition (REC) petitioned to intervene in this matter, which the Commission granted by Order issued on September 16, 2025.
  3. This is not a complete description of RMP’s Application. You may review the Application and its supporting testimony and exhibits at the Commission’s office during business hours or online at: https://dms.wyo.gov/external/publicusers.aspx (enter Record No. 17882).
  4. All interested persons are encouraged to attend the public hearing which will be conducted in accordance with the Wyoming Administrative Procedure Act, Wyoming Public Service Commission Rules. All interested persons may appear and be heard, in person, by video or telephone conference, or through counsel appearing in person or by video or telephone conference.

PUBLIC NOTICE

Pursuant to the Wyoming Administrative Procedure Act and the Wyoming Public Service Commission’s (Commission) Rules, notice is hereby given of the Application of Rocky Mountain Power (RMP or the Company) for a Deferred Accounting Order to establish a balancing account to record and track excess wildfire liability insurance costs, as more fully described below:

  1. RMP is a division of PacifiCorp, an Oregon corporation, engaged in the business of supplying electric utility service to customers throughout its six-state service territory, including Wyoming. RMP is a public utility subject to the Commission’s jurisdiction. Wyo. Stat. §§ 37-l-101(a)(vi)(C) and 37-2-112.
  2. On January 15, 2026, RMP filed an Application requesting a Deferred Accounting Order to establish a balancing account to track $23.5 million of annual authorized excess liability insurance premium expenses, associated with wildfires; and 80% of any Wyoming wildfire liability claims and associated defense counsel expenses, effective February 15, 2026.
  3. RMP states the temporary deferral will facilitate the Company’s transition to a reserve fund to recover costs associated with third-party claims and outside defense costs for wildfire events in Wyoming while mitigating over or under recovery of costs. The Commission authorized the Company to develop a Wyoming reserve fund in the last general rate case and requires Commission approval when filed. The Company’s current excess wildfire liability insurance policies expire February 14, 2026, and will not be renewed as the Wyoming reserve fund is expected to be less costly for customers than a commercial insurance policy. The Company requests authority to establish the requested balancing account for costs associated with Wyoming wildfire liabilities and litigation costs on or after February 15, 2026, until the reserve fund is approved and implemented, or new commercial excess liability insurance is acquired in 2027.
  4. RMP is not currently seeking recovery of these costs from customers. The requested Deferred Accounting Order, if approved, will enable the Company to seek recovery in the future. If approved, deferred costs will be recorded in Account 254, and net revenues not otherwise used to pay for wildfire claims in the balancing account would be deposited to a reserve fund customer trust to support the future Wyoming reserve fund. The account will accrue interest at the Commission authorized rate for deferred accounts.
  5. The total amount of the potential deferral is unknown. RMP anticipates deferring $1.96 million in revenues per month. Deferred accounting permits the Company to track the expenses accrued from February 15, 2026, through the effective date of the future reserve fund or through February 15, 2027, whichever occurs first.
  6. This is not a complete description of RMP’s Application. Interested persons may inspect the entire Application at RMP’s Wyoming offices and at the Commission’s office or online at: https://dms.wyo.gov/external/publicusers.aspx. (enter Record No. 18045). The Application may also be reviewed on line at: https://www.rockymountainpower.net/about/rates-regulation/wyoming-regulatory-filings.html.
  7. Anyone desiring to file a public comment, statement, protest, intervention petition, or request for a public hearing in this matter must file with the Commission in writing on or before March 3, 2026. 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 petitioner in this proceeding. Please mention Docket No. 20000-701-EA-26 in your communications.
  8. If you wish to intervene or request a public hearing that you will attend, or wish to file a public comment, statement, or protest, and you require reasonable accommodation for a disability, please contact the Commission at (307) 777-7427, or write at 2515 Warren Avenue, Suite 300, Cheyenne, Wyoming 82002.
