NV Energy appreciates the opportunity to comment on Business Practice Manual (“BPM”) 103 and offers the following comments for the Western Power Pool’s (“WPP”) consideration. The BPM references a form for the alternative load growth method that is located on the WPP website. NV Energy was not able to locate this form and recommends that the WPP either attach the alternative load growth rate form to the BPM as an appendix or include the form with this BPM for review along with the BPM. NV Energy would like to review the form and the data that would be necessary in order to utilize this method. If it is not possible for stakeholders to review the form at this time, then WPP should include all required data needed for this alternative method in this BPM so that stakeholders have the ability to comment.
NV Energy does not support the inclusion of a requirement in order to use the alternative method. The alternative method should be allowed regardless of the difference between the peak load determined from the program load growth rate and would be inequitably applied to different participants based on the size of their loads as currently proposed. Therefore, NV Energy recommends that the last sentence of Section 5.2 be removed and that no requirement be applied to the alternative growth rate.
