General Comment

Idaho Power supports the proposed BPM 110 – Cost of New Entry (CONE). The draft provides a clear and transparent process for calculating, reviewing, and updating the CONE value and appropriately implements the requirements established in the WRAP tariff.

Idaho Power particularly supports the inclusion of a defined annual review process and the documentation of the methodology used to establish CONE values. A transparent and predictable approach is important because CONE serves as a foundational component of the WRAP deficiency charge framework and resource adequacy program. Overall, Idaho Power believes the proposed BPM improves transparency, consistency, and stakeholder understanding of the CONE calculation process and supports approval of BPM 110 – Cost of New Entry (CONE) as proposed.
