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 Report of Rocky Mountain Power (RMP or the Company) of a Company designated major event on July 7, 2026, caused by avian activity and the resulting damage to the Red Butte Substation, as more fully described below:
1. RMP is a division of PacifiCorp, an Oregon corporation, engaged in the business of supplying electric utility service to customers in its service territory consisting of parts of six states, including Wyoming. RMP is a public utility, subject to the Commission’s jurisdiction. Wyo. Stat. §§ 37-l-101(a)(vi)(C) and 37-2-112.
2 On August 25, 2026, the Company filed the Report detailing a major outage on July 7, 2026, that has been designated as a major event as defined by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. Standard 1366-2012. The Report states that avian nesting activity in the Red Butte Substation resulted in a bus fault that damaged multiple substation components, including insulators and switches. Service to 7,662 customers on three distribution feeders was interrupted and both equipment and switching operation repairs were needed to restore load.
3. The outage is considered a major event due to the significant customer impact, damage to critical substation equipment, and the coordinated response required to restore service. RMP reports other weather related outages in other service areas but states they are unrelated to this major event. The major event was communicated to the Commission the day of the incident and service was restored within 24 hours. The major event has affected the System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI) and Customer Average Interruption Duration Index (CAIDI) reliability metrics used to track performance and baseline standards for electric reliability pursuant to Commission Rule, Chapter 3, Section 38(e) and Wyoming Statute §§ 37-18-102(a)(v).
