10 II. BACKGROUND
11 The Company's present Schedule 51 electric line extension tariff incorporates the
12 principle of average costing for electrical facilities commonly used in extending service.
13 The tariff sets forth "Basic and Exceptional Costs", which are costs based on recent
14 average actual costs for facilities such as transformers and conduit which are used
15 consistently for electric line extensions. The Basic and Exceptional Costs have a fixed
16 and variable component,with the variable component stated on a cost-per-foot basis. The
17 average costing principle incorporated in the Company's tariff has worked well and the
18 Company is not proposing to change the conceptual structure of the tariff.
19 In Commission Order No. 35757,the Commission ordered that future filings shall
20 clearly identify the details requested by Commission Staff(Staff) in their comments. In
21 particular Staff stated:
22 Staff recommends that the Company clearly identify the hours, materials,
23 and vehicle support it assumed for each type of line extension work, it
24 identify any changes from the previous year, and it provide evidence and
25 justification for the changes. Specifically, Staff recommends that the
26 Company provide actual work order examples for each type of line extension
27 work to provide confirmation of the standard estimates.
28
29 In compliance with the Commission Order, the Company has included additional
30 workpapers that detail the hours, materials, and vehicle support for each job, as well as
31 actual work order estimates for each job type.
AVISTA'S ANNUAL ELECTRIC LINE EXTENSION FILING PAGE 2
I Detailed below are the Company's proposed changes to Schedule 51 and included
2 with this filing are workpapers which provide support for the proposed changes.
3 III. CONSTRUCTION ALLOWANCES
4 In this filing, the Company has updated the allowances applicable to new
5 residential, commercial and industrial customers. For purposes of calculating the revised
6 allowances,the Company is continuing to utilize an embedded-cost methodology approach
7 that is designed to ensure that investment in distribution/terminal facilities for each new
8 customer will be similar to the embedded costs of the same facilities reflected in base rates.
9 Any costs in excess of the allowance would be paid by the new customer as a Contribution
10 in Aid of Construction. The Company utilized its Cost of Service study from its most
11 recently concluded general rate case filing (AVU-E-23-01), updated for the base rates
12 approved in the Settlement Agreement and approved in Order No. 35909 effective
13 September 1, 2024, as the basis of the embedded cost calculation. Below is a summary of
14 the proposed allowance changes:
15 Service Schedule Existin Proposed
Schedule 1 Individual Customer(per unit) $ 2,475 $ 2,545
16 Schedule 1 Duplex(per unit) $ 1,980 $ 2,035
Schedule 1 Multiplex(per unit) $ 1,490 $ 1,530
17 Schedule 11/12 (per kWh) $ 0.19321 $ 0.19912
18 Schedule 21/22 (per kWh) $ 0.17749 $ 0.18388
Schedule 31/32 (per kWh) $ 0.31838 $ 0.32929
19 The Company has provided workpapers that provide the inputs and calculation of the
20 allowances.
21 IV. AVERAGE COSTS
22 The Distribution Engineering Department at Avista is primarily tasked with the
23 development and maintenance of the Company's Construction & Material Standards.
AVISTA'S ANNUAL ELECTRIC LINE EXTENSION FILING PAGE 3
I Periodically, Distribution Engineering will update the Construction & Material Standards
2 in order to comply with the National Electric Safety Code ("TTESC"). These Construction
3 & Material Standards are reflective of the NESC's most recent code revisions. The
4 standard designs in this filing have not changed and are consistent with those reflected in
5 this filing.
6 As detailed on proposed tariff sheets 51H and 51I, the Company is proposing to
7 update the primary, secondary, service and transformer average costs. Below is a
8 summary of the cost changes:
Proposed Proposed
9 Overhead Primary Circuit:
Fixed Cost $ 5,379 $ 5,536
10 Variable Cost $ 10.69 $ 11.20
Underground Primary Circuit
1 1 Fixed Costs $ 2,516 $ 2,583
Variable Costs $ 13.48 $ 13.55
12 Underground Secondary Circuit
Fixed Costs $ 666 $ 647
13 Variable Costs $ 14.17 $ 12.75
14 Overhead Secondary Circuit
Fixed Costs $ 2,212 $ 2,279
15
Overhead Service Circuit $ 5.02 $ 5.06
16 Underground Service Circuit $ 10.46 $ 10.29
17 Overhead Transformer $ 5,025 $ 5,308
Padmount Transformer $ 8,413 $ 10,003
18
19 The primary drivers of the increase in costs above are related to increases in labor cost
20 and transformer costs. The primary driver of reduced cost on some underground work
21 listed above is due to a reduction in the cost of conduit and resin products. Avista
22 continues to see a reduction in the cost of conduit as that market normalizes after a
AVISTA'S ANNUAL ELECTRIC LINE EXTENSION FILING PAGE 4
I disruption in resin manufacturing a few years ago.' Transformers continue to see high-
2 cost pressure due to high demand across the nation and low availability. This is a common
3 problem across all utilities, as some transformer types have a lead time of several years.
4 Avista has been working with different vendors,both domestic and international,to source
5 transformers both on availability and cost savings efforts. Additionally, the distribution
6 system is not flexible, and transformers must meet Avista's specifications, which limits
7 the vendors from which Avista is able to purchase material. The transformer industry has
8 seen significant cost increases over the past few years and the industry is finding it to be
9 commonplace for higher costs to be normal.
10 The other significant cost driver is related to labor. In 2024, Avista's Distribution
11 Standard Group undertook a review of labor hours and codes applied to the compatible
12 units within Avista's work management system (Maximo). The Distribution Standard
13 Group regularly reviews processes to ensure Avista is meeting current Standards. In so
14 doing, it was found that certain compatible units needed updated to modify the crew hours
15 applied to certain compatible units to more accurately reflect actual labor costs. In
16 particular,the labor hour update affected the underground transformer compatible unit. For
17 a 25kVA padmount transformer installation,the system uses the assigned labor value based
18 on the installation crew. A 25kVA padmount transformer takes about three hours by one
19 installation crew,the system applied three-man hours to this compatible unit of work. The
20 system ignored the fact that a crew has four workers, and therefore 12 hours should have
21 been applied. The result was an understatement of the hours applied to the job. The
' In this filing three years ago Avista reported a shortage in the supply of resin due to a manufacturing plant
being shut down and disrupting the conduit industry,creating a shortage of conduit driving the cost up. This
disruption has now subsided and we are now able to source conduit at better lead times and pricing.
AVISTA'S ANNUAL ELECTRIC LINE EXTENSION FILING PAGE 5
I Company has corrected this understatement of labor hours in its compatible units during
2 2024 and is reflected in the values in this filing in the underground transformer compatible
3 unit cost.
4 Residential development costs, updated for the most current Construction &
5 Material Standards and average 2024 construction costs, are detailed below:
6 Residential Developments
Present Proposed
7 Total Cost per Lot $ 3,358 $ 3,849
Less:Service Cost $ 525 $ 516
8 Developer Responsibility $ 2,833 $ 3,333
9 Developer Refmdable Payment $ 2,475 $ 2,545
Builder Non-Refundable Payment $ 883 $ 1,304
10
Allowance $ 2,475 $ 2,545
11
12 V. ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES
13 Presently Schedule 51 states that every customer who wants the Company to design
14 a line extension must first submit a written application. In an effort to reflect the
15 considerable amount of time, effort, and complexity to evaluate large load requests the
16 Company is proposing to add an Application Fee of$1,000 for load requests of 3,000 kVA
17 (3 MVA) or greater. 3,000 kVA is the threshold for those customers who would typically
18 take service under the Schedule 25 (Extra Large General Service) rate schedule and
19 requires significantly more time to process those requests. The Application Fee is intended
20 to cover a portion of the costs related to the initial application review and customer scoping
21 meeting that is required in order to evaluate and analyze loads of this size. The Company
22 has also added language to clarify that any additional capacity impact studies beyond
23 standard design (distribution/transmission capacity, interconnection, etc.) will be paid in
AVISTA'S ANNUAL ELECTRIC LINE EXTENSION FILING PAGE 6
I full by the customer requesting service. Both changes align with industry practice among
2 other utilities and ensure that only qualified new customers move through the
3 interconnection process.
4 VI. COMMUNICATIONS AND SERVICE OF APPLICATION
5 In conformance with RP 125, this Application will be brought to the attention of
6 the Company's affected customers. Consistent with past practice,during the week of April
7 7, 2025, the Company will send a letter to those developers and builders that may be
8 affected by the proposed changes to inform them of the Company's request.
9 VII. REQUEST FOR RELIEF
10 The Company requests that the Commission issue an order approving the update in
11 costs to Schedule 51 to become effective May 15, 2025. The Company requests that the
12 matter be processed under the Commission's Modified Procedure rules through the use of
13 written comments.

Dear Builder and/or Developer:
Avista Utilities is proud to have supplied your projects with natural gas and electric service, as well as
quality construction coordination, of your utility needs for many years. As you may know, in the spring
of each year, the Company files a request with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission ("Commission")
to update the costs associated with the materials required to provide our electric service for individual
homes and new developments.
The Company filed its proposed changes with the Commission on March 31, 2025, and if the requested
changes are approved, they would go into effect on May 15, 2025.
The changes include updating the standard or basic development costs and allowance to reflect actual
2024 material and labor costs. Below is a summary of the changes included in the filing:
Residential Developments
Present Proposed
Total Cost per Lot $ 3,358 $ 3,849
Less:Service Cost $ 525 $ 516
Developer Responsibility $ 2,833 $ 3,333
Developer Refundable Payment $ 2,475 $ 2,545
Builder Non-Refundable Payment $ 883 $ 1,304
Allowance $ 2,475 $ 2,545
The proposed change in the cost per lot would require builders to make a $1,304 non-refundable
payment. Developers would only need to provide a letter of credit, or cash deposit, for $3,333 per
residence until such time as a permanent hookup is made.
The Company's applications are proposals, subject to public review and a Commission decision.
Copies of the applications are available for public review at the offices of both the Commission and
Avista, and on the Commission's website (www.puc.idaho.gov). Customers may file with the
Commission written comments related to the Company's filings. Customers may also subscribe to
the Commission's RSS feed (http://www.puc.idaho.gov/rssfeeds/rss.htm) to receive periodic
updates via e-mail about the case. Copies of rate filings are also available on our website,
www.myavista.com/rates.
If you would like to submit comments on the proposed change, you can do so by going to the
Commission website or mailing comments to:
Idaho Public Utilities Commission
P.O. Box 83720
Boise, ID 83720-0074
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact your Avista Account Executive or
Customer Design Coordinator.

SCHEDULE 51 - continued
When two or more Customers apply concurrently for service
from the same Line Extension, each will receive an Allowance
up to their proportion of the Basic and Exceptional Cost of the
line extension.
Allowances shall be granted only against the Basic and
Exceptional Cost of the current project and not against any
part of an earlier or future extension.
The Allowance will be equal to the Basic and Exceptional Cost
or the applicable amount listed below, whichever is less:
MAXIMUM ALLOWANCE
Schedule 1 individual Customer $2,475 per unit
Schedule 1 duplex $1,959 per unit
Schedule 1 multiplex $1,490 per unit
EXCEPTION: The Company will not grant an immediate
Allowance if the Company, in its sole judgement, determines
that the load:
a) is less than 2500 kWh per year, or
b) will be in service less than five years.
A mobile home will not qualify for an Allowance until it has

SCHEDULE 51 - continued
When two or more Customers apply concurrently for service
from the same Line Extension, each will receive an Allowance
up to their proportion of the Basic and Exceptional Cost of the
line extension.
Allowances shall be granted only against the Basic and
Exceptional Cost of the current project and not against any
part of an earlier or future extension.
The Allowance will be equal to the Basic and Exceptional Cost
or the applicable amount listed below, whichever is less:
MAXIMUM ALLOWANCE
Schedule 1 individual Customer $2,545 per unit
Schedule 1 duplex $2,035 per unit
Schedule 1 multiplex $1,530 per unit
EXCEPTION: The Company will not grant an immediate
Allowance if the Company, in its sole judgement, determines
that the load:
a) is less than 2500 kWh per year, or
b) will be in service less than five years.
A mobile home will not qualify for an Allowance until it has
permanent connections to both water service and either a
sewer or septic system. If such connections are made within
five years after the completion of the line extension, the
Company will, at that time, refund the Basic and Exceptional
Cost or the amount of the Allowance in effect at the time of the
line construction, whichever is less. The Customer must apply
for the refund before the line extension becomes six years old.

5) "Share of Previous Extension" applies only to Primary Circuits
less than five years old. If part of a previous line extension is
used to serve a new Customer, the new Customer must pay a
share of the previous Primary Circuit cost and Transformer
cost, if shared, to the Company before the start of
construction. The amount paid by the new Customer will be
refunded to existing Customers in relation to their share of the
Primary Circuit and Transformer, if shared. The Company will
refund appropriate shares to the bearers of Extension
Certificates when the Certificates are presented for payment
and the connection of the subsequent Customer has been
verified. The Company will make a reasonable attempt to
inform the bearer of the Certificate when a refund is due.
Bearers of Extension Certificates must apply for refunds
before the original line extension becomes six years old.
Unclaimed refunds will be returned to the contributor.
EXAMPLE:
1. First Customer pays $13,550 for 1,000 feet of
primary underground circuit ($13.55 per foot).
2. Second Customer takes service within five years
using 600 feet of the original extension.
3. Both Customers share the first 600 feet equally:
600 ft x $13.55/ft x '/2 = $4,065.
4. The Second Customer's payment of$4,065, will be
refunded to the First Customer to reduce his
investment in the 600 feet to $4,065. The First
Customer's investment in the remaining 400 feet
remains at $5,420. ($13,550-$4,065-$4,065=$5,420)
EXCEPTION: If the refund to an existing Customer is
less than $100 each, the new Customer will not be
required to pay that share and the existing Customer
will not receive a refund.

and the following rules apply to line extensions within
residential developments.
b. Before Company facilities will be installed, the developer must submit
a written application for service, a copy of the plat as approved by the
governing agency depicting dedicated utility easements approved by
the serving utilities and must pay an extension cost to the Company
which is computed as follows:
Basic and Exceptional Cost
+ Customer-Requested Costs
- Cost Reductions
(one) Design Fee of$150 (if paid)
= extension cost within development
+ cost of extension to development
+ Share of Previous Extension
extension cost
1) "Basic and Exceptional Cost" will be computed from the
following rate per lot when the Development serves single
phase loads, has at least six lots and the average frontage is
no more than 175 feet per lot. The Basic and Exceptional Cost
includes the cost of the Primary Circuit, the Transformer and
the Secondary Circuit in the utility easement or public right-of-
way, but does not include the Service Circuit from the point of
