PUBLIC NOTICE
Pursuant to the Wyoming Administrative Procedure Act and the Wyoming Public Service Commission’s (Commission) Rules and Regulations, notice is hereby given of the Application of Rocky Mountain Power (RMP or the Company) for authority to increase its retail electric service rates overall by $70.5 million per year, 8.8 percent, in two steps. In the first step, the Company proposed to increase rates by $68.3 million, 8.5 percent, effective for service on and after March 15, 2027. In the second step, the Company proposes to increase rates by a net amount of $2.2 million, 0.3 percent, effective for service on and after April 1, 2027, to account for the potential sale of the Company’s Washington service area. The application also requests authority to revise Schedule 92 Insurance Cost Adjustment (ICA) to establish a wildfire liability self-insurance reserve fund; establish a new Asset Purchase Agreement (ASA) Schedule 96 to return the value of the proposed goodwill credit from the sale of the Washington service area; and revise the Energy Cost Adjustment Mechanism (ECAM), as more fully described below.
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, under certificates of public convenience and necessity issued by the Commission. RMP is a public utility subject to the Commission’s jurisdiction. Wyo. Stat. §§ 37-1-101(a)(vi)(C) and 37-2-112.
On May 12, 2026, RMP submitted an Application requesting the Commission approve the Company’s proposal to: (1) increase its retail electric utility service rates overall by $70.5 million per year, an overall average of 8.8 percent, in two steps. In the first step, rates would increase by $68.3 million, an overall average of 8.5 percent, effective for service on and after March 15, 2027. In the second step, rates would increase by a net amount of $2.2 million, an overall average of 0.3 percent, effective for service on and after April 1, 2027. The Application also requests authority to revise the ICA to establish a wildfire self-insurance reserve fund; establish the ASA to credit customers 68 percent of the proposed goodwill value from the sale of the Company’s Washington service area to Portland General Electric, while the Company retains 32 percent of the proposed goodwill; and revise the ECAM to allow for quarterly interim rate changes, while maintaining an annual prudence review filing with no interim rate change request.
RMP requests a return on equity of 9.70 percent, resulting in an overall cost of capital and return on rate base of 7.56 percent. The request is based upon a hypothetical capital structure consisting of 50 percent debt and 50 percent equity, with a cost of debt of 5.41 percent.
The request is primarily driven by: (1) $58.3 million for Wyoming’s share of new capital investments, increased net power costs, and increased operations, maintenance, administrative, and general expenses; (2) recovery of $10.0 million through tariff Schedule 92 (ICA) for wildfire liability self-insurance reserve funds, in addition to the amortization of previously approved deferred liability insurance premiums; (3) a $10.0 million projected increase from the proposed sale of the Company’s Washington service area; and (4) a $7.8 million reduction to incorporate goodwill rate credits from the sale of the Company’s Washington service area.
RMP’s proposed percentage increases in price changes by rate schedule are:
Proposed Overall Percent (%) Proposed Overall
Change Effective Percent (%) Change
Customer Class March 15, 2027 April 1, 2027 From Current
Residential
Schedule 2 8.3 0.2 8.5

Schedule 40 37.4 0.4 37.7
Lighting -4.3 -0.3 -4.6
Overall 8.5 0.3 8.8
Due to rate design and individual customer load factors and usage characteristics, the percentage rate change to individual customers within each rate schedule may be higher or lower than the average for the customer class or rate schedule.
