Please see general comments below for additional context.

The Introduction and Background sections are all fine, but we do not believe that they are necessary at this stage of WPP’s business practice development effort.

Please create a table of contents and a BPM that is dedicated to Definitions and Acronyms.

Hybrid Facility: Multiple resources combined using different generating technologies with the same interconnection point. 

There's only a few definitions listed but tons of acronyms. Maybe include an acronym table.

APS has a preference to have Tariff defined terms in the definitions in the BPM (or its own BPM) for ease of users to reference while interpreting the BPM without having to reference the Tariff and the definitions contained within it, but understand that version control, or length of BPM may be a consideration that outweighs this preference.

Idaho Power suggests organizing the BPM and the content in more of outline format with clear “parent” sections and sub-sections following.  It can be difficult to follow what overarching topic area a subsection is discussing in the current format.

The interaction between this BPM and BPM 101 - Advanced Assessment is somewhat unclear.  For example, are the QCCs of resources determined in the Advanced Assessment process, unless a resource is submitted later?  Greater clarity between what is solely addressed in this BPM and what will be addressed in BPM 101 might help, as well as ensuring that the two don’t overlap and cover the same material to the extent possible.

In Background, spell out first instance of PO.

In Background, clarify if there is a Form that has to be completed (please reference this form on the WPP website) in addition to submitting data through the Advance Assessment workbook. Clarify if this section is referring to BPM 101.
