General Comment
Idaho Power has a couple of general comments on this BPM: first, it is highly repetitive of the tariff. There are several sections that appear to repeat the tariff word for word. We suggest referring to the tariff where possible, rather than repeating it word for word, to avoid redundancy and the possibility of errors if one document is changed in the future and the other is not.
Second, the BPM is highly technical and can be difficult to follow. Providing numerical examples of how the formulas would work, given specified assumptions, would help a lot.
Third, it would be extremely helpful if WPP could provide links to where the CAISO Hourly Day-Ahead SMEC and CAISO Average Day-Ahead SMEC are located so that participants can validate the prices used in the settlement calculations.
Finally, is the CAISO Average Day-Ahead SMEC a price that is caculated and provided/published by CAISO or is it something WPP will be calculating? If the latter, how will it be calculated? This should be described in the BPM.
Idaho Power very much appreciates WPP's work on this BPM and the opportunity to comment. Thank you.
