ISSUED: March 14, 2005

By The Commission:

                        This matter came on for hearing before the Commission’s Administrative Law Judge on March 10, 2005. PacifiCorp (Petitioner), dba Utah Power & Light Company, was represented by Prestine Tafoya. Jodene Butterfield (Respondent) appeared on her own behalf.

                        At the hearing, the parties agreed to the payment plan and other terms set forth below. Based upon that agreement, and for good cause appearing, the Administrative Law Judge enters the following proposed ORDER:

            1.         Respondent shall make monthly payments to Petitioner, on or before the due date of each statement for services rendered by Petitioner, each such payment to be in the amount of $70.00 per month calculated as follows: (a) the current charges for electric service to Respondent’s residence on an equal time payment plan, estimated to be $59.00 per month, plus (b) $11.00 per month, which equals approximately one twenty-fourth (1/24) of the outstanding balance for prior service provided to Respondent’s residence, until the outstanding balance is fully paid. These payments are to begin with the regularly scheduled monthly payment due to Petitioner not later than April 15, 2005.

           2.        Respondent is directed to pursue assistance from the HEAT program, Red Cross, and other available assistance programs. If lump sum payments are

 made to Petitioner from any assistance program, these payments shall be applied to the then-outstanding arrearage and will not affect the monthly payment amounts

specified in Paragraph 1.

3.         Petitioner agrees and is ordered to waive all interest accruing on Respondent’s account going forward from the date of this Order so long as Respondent continues to comply with all other terms of this Order.

4.         If Respondent fails to make any payment in the full amount specified in Paragraph 1 on or before the due date, Petitioner shall have the right to disconnect service to Respondent’s residence in accordance with Petitioner’s regulations and tariff provisions and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, without seeking further approval from the Commission, notwithstanding the fact that a resident at Respondent’s residence may be using life-support equipment.

5.         At least 48 hours prior to terminating said service, Petitioner shall notify the appropriate Utah State social services agencies of this Order and the pending termination.

6.         Any person aggrieved by this Order may petition the Commission for review/rehearing pursuant to the Utah Administrative Procedures Act, Utah Code Ann. §63-46b-1 et seq. Failure so to do will preclude judicial review of the grounds not identified for review. Utah Code Ann. §54-7-15.

            DATED at Salt Lake City, Utah, this 14^th day of March, 2005.
