NEWS RELEASE: Public comment is being accepted on electric utility's power cost adjustment
application.
BOISE (Aug. 22, 2024)—The Idaho Public Utilities Commission is accepting written comments
on Avista Utilities' power cost adjustment application for the electric service it offers.
The power cost adjustment is a mechanism used to track changes in revenues and costs
associated with variations in hydroelectric generation, secondary prices, thermal fuel costs, and
changes in power contract revenues and expenses. Avista Utilities is proposing a rate adjustment
of 0.205 cents per kilowatt-hour. If the commission approves the application, approximately $6.6
million would be rebated to customers effective Oct. 1, 2024. Avista said the rebate is primarily
associated with power supply costs that were lower than those included in retail rates, due to
lower wholesale electric and natural gas prices.
The commission is accepting written comments on Avista's application until Sept. 11, 2024.
Comments are required to be filed through the commission's website or by e-mail unless
