RE: 04-19-2001 Position Report
Hi Jon
I agree John is doing a great job on the position reports, I told him so again yesterday when I saw the hydro streamflow
and generation info. John is out today on a trip to tour the Spokane River plants. The gas prices locked in for 2002 are for
000 decatherms/day November 1 , 2001 through October 31 , 2004 ~ $6.0925 and 10 000 decatherms/day June 1
2002 through October 31 , 2003 ~ $6.56. There is another 17 658 decatherms/day at Malin index plus $0., November
, 2001 through October 31 , 2004, and 10 000 decatherms/day at Malin index plus $0., June 2002 through October 312003.
Bob Gruber plans to lock in the additional volumes over the next few weeks. He is watching the market, which has been
coming down and will lock in at $5.50 or if the downward trend reverses.
m not sure you want all this detail, but this is the plan. We won t need all of the 27 658 at Malin November 1 , 2001
through May 31 , 2002 , but we can use it at Rathdrum or sell it at Malin in the day and buy back at Rathdrum daily if the
spread warrants that. Yesterday the price at Malin was $10.545 vs. Stanfield at $5., even after variable costs this is at
least $5.00 of value, by selling the Malin and buying Rathdrum. We still have the price locked in for Rathdrum at $6.9025
and if today held true for a day in January the cost of the gas at Rathdrum would be $6.9025 less the $5.00 spread.
In the position report we are currently long .heavy and light load 01 and 02 so technically we wouldn t need to purchase
any additional gas. We 'iNiIIlock in the above variable pricing and we may still purchase some more gas for Rathdrum
January 2002 through April 2002. Rathdrum will probably have maintenance in May and then Coyote may be available in
June and we have the full amount of gas purchased for Coyote beginning June 2002.
Another interesting point is that 27 658 decatherms at Malin is roughly 28 000 decatherms dropped off at Coyote and
500 decatherms at Rathdrum, because of less fuel loss.

John-
The reports are getting better all the time, since much more comprehensive information is included.
Are the gas prices that are locked in for 2002 for the entire 01 and 02 requirements, or do we still have price
exposure in the next 18 months?

Thanks!
Purchases and Sales: Today power was pre-scheduled for Friday April 20 and Saturday April 21 , and prices
were about $230 for heavy load , and $175 for light load. We were a net purchaser of 101 aMW heavy load and
net seller of124 aMW light load. Fridays and Saturdays are pre-scheduled as a package (same for both days).
This creates a challenge for us, since our loads on Saturday are lower than Friday loads. In this case, we bought
101 aMW heavy load to meet our Friday needs, and this will leave the real time desk with extra power to sell on
r feedback.
Saturday. Alternatively we could have drafted Noxon to meet Friday loads and left real time basically flat on
Saturday. We chose not to do this because the Noxon forebay is now around 24 feet. We want to leave a
cushion over the 21 foot minimum in case we need this to cover for a plant outage or other special need , and our
license requires that we have the Noxon forebay at 27 feet by May 15. The preference against drafting Noxon
combined with the fact that real time prices have been higher than prescheduled prices for the past few days
contributed to the decision to buy the 101 aMW heavy load for Friday and Saturday. Light load was sold because
we are surplus in light load hours even after we back down as much hydro generation as we can.
The April Mid-Month water supply forecast from the National Weather Service was released today, and estimates
again edged up slightly (see Hydro below).

REQUEST:
Please provide copies of all analyses, risk evaluations, gas market forecasts, memoranda
and all other documents prepared for or used in the evaluation of and justification of, the timing
and need for Deals A and B.
RESPONSE:
Forecasts of electric and natural gas forward prices along with economic analysis showing the
comparative cost to generate are included in the Pre-filed Direct Testimony and Exhibits of
Robert Lafferty.
Exhibit No., Schedule No. 22 contains Position Reports, transaction records, forward price
data, and economic comparisons of cost to generate versus cost to purchase power in the forward
market. Exhibit No.7, Schedule No. 31 contains Position Reports, including the cover memos
describing market transactions and conditions, for relevant dates in the April-May 2001 period.
Exhibit No.7, Schedule No. 17 shows the 3-21-01 Load & Resource position. The Load &
Resource source document for that Schedule is attached to this response. Exhibit No.
Schedule No. 25 shows weekly load variability amounts for each month. Attached to this
response is a set of analyses labeled "2002-2004 Load & Resource Position Summaries 90%
and 95% Confidence Interval Analysis With Natural Gas Resources Dispatched - 3/30101". This
attachment was the source document for 90% confidence interval load and resource position
summaries contained in Exhibit No.7, Schedule No. 26 that exclude any un-hedged natural gas-
fired generation. Also attached to this response are a February 9,2001 cover memo with subject
entitled "2003 L&R Position Summary" and the accompanying analyses showing 90% and 95%
confidence interval load and resource position analyses for the year 2003 under different
operating conditions.
Page 2
The Company also took into consideration industry publications that provided information
regarding expected forward electricity and natural gas market conditions and prices in the Pacific
Northwest and California. Publications were reporting at that time that federal policy-makers
were firmly opposed to imposing price caps in the Pacific Northwest energy markets. A sample
of just a few of those articles is included in Exhibit No.7, Schedules Nos. 22, 23, and 24 as well
as pages 1 , and 11 of Schedule No. 29.
Natural gas forward price data for Malin is attached to this response for the April-May 2001 time
frame. Electric energy forward price data at the time of the four transactions comprising Deal A
and Deal B are attached as part of this response. Also attached is an e-mail, dated 4-19-
which discusses the purchase of the natural gas hedges.

REQUEST:
Please provide monthly index prices in Excel format for each month January 2001
through December 2003 at Sumas, Kingsgate, Malin, Stanfield, AECO, Opal (or Rockies) and
NYMEX. Also, please provide the Enron OnLine or TFS or other sheets that are
contemporaneous with the referenced index prices.
RESPONSE:
Please see attached worksheet "Gas Monthly Index Prices" showing the monthly gas
index prices at various delivery points for the period January 2001 through December 2003.
The U.S. indices listed are from Platts, Inside FERC's Gas Market Report published monthly.

Enron Online (no longer exists) did not report monthly index prices. Avista does not
receive TFS sheets related to gas prices.

REQUEST:
Re: Exhibit 7, Schedule 21 , page 1 of 70. Please provide a detailed explanation of the meaning,
under Transmission Alternatives the statement "May be dropped off
(g)
Kingsgate - RGEN
STAN - CO YO or MALIN"
RESPONSE:
These points are all delivery points along Gas Transmission Northwest Corporation from the
Canadian Border at Kingsgate to the Oregon/California Border at Malin. Due to the nature of
the purchase, the counterparty (supplier) provides gas at AECO and A vista Utilities acts as agent
to nominate gas from AECO to any of these delivery points. Therefore Avista Utilities maintains
maximum operational flexibility to deliver the gas to any of its thermal plants or market points
along Gas Transmission Northwest Corporation pipeline. RGEN means Avista Utilities
Rathdrum generation project. STAN means the Stanfield interconnection point with the
Williams Northwest Pipeline. CO YO means the interconnection point with the lateral which
delivers natural gas to the Coyote Springs 2 generating project.
