pilot and explain how the Company is evaluating least-cost solutions.
(c) Add a section to the WRP where it explains how the Company addressed

15. Insurance Expense Balancing Account. The Settling Parties agree to revise the
two-way electric and natural gas Insurance Expense Balancing Account authorized annual "base"
levels to $8.611 million for electric and $954,000 for natural gas, effective September 1, 2025.
The incremental balance deferred, beyond the existing deferred balance as of September 30, 2024
being amortized over a 4-year period for electric and over a 2-year period for natural gas, in this
proceeding(see¶7 f. above),will be included for review and recovery in future general rate cases.
16. Re ug latory Amortizations. The Settling Parties agree to the Regulatory
Amortizations as filed by the Company6 reflecting a two-year amortization, with the exception of
the Wildfire Expense Balancing Account Deferral amortization (see ¶ 13 above), the electric
Insurance Expense Balancing Account Deferral amortization (see ¶ 15 above), and the Williams
Pipeline Outage Deferral amortization(see¶9 e. above),which the Settling Parties agree to revise
from a two-year amortization to a four-year amortization, as discussed above.
6 The Regulatory amortizations are discussed in the direct testimony of Ms. Schultz at pages 43 to 47.
STIPULATION AND SETTLEMENT—AVU-E-25-01 &AVU-G-25-01 Page 16
17. Colstrip Regulatory Assets and Accounting. The Settling Parties agree to the
Colstrip Regulatory Amortizations and accounting adjustments as filed by the Company. (See
also¶7 j.)
18. Capital Projects Included in Rates. The Settling Parties agree that the capital
projects that have transferred to plant as of January 31,2025 are deemed prudent, and those capital
additions that transfer after that date may still be reviewed for further prudence in the Company's
next general rate case.
19. Capital Documentation. Avista agrees to meet with Staff and other interested
parties within nine months of the final order of this rate case to discuss supporting documentation
for capital additions that the Company will include in its next general rate case, including
documentation for projects agreed-to in this settlement, but which can still be reviewed as noted
in the "Capital Projects Included in Rates"provision above.
20. Hourly Class Cost of Service. Avista agrees to meet with Staff and other interested
parties,prior to the next general rate case,to discuss conducting a hourly class cost of service study
that could be included in the next general rate case or when it can feasibly do so, given the need
for a fully deployed AMI system.
21. Export Credit Rate. Avista agrees to meet with Staff and other interested parties
within six months of the final order of this rate case to discuss the Company conducting a study to
quantify the costs and benefits of on-site generation to determine an appropriate value for exports,
the Export Credit Rate.
22. Idaho Forest Group. Avista agrees to meet with Idaho Forest Group within six
months of the final order of this rate case to discuss opportunities related to energy efficiency,
I The accounting treatment of the Colstrip Regulatory amortization, Colstrip additions and transfer of Colstrip Units

16 to 24.
STIPULATION AND SETTLEMENT—AVU-E-25-01 &AVU-G-25-01 Page 17
demand response, on-site generation opportunities, conjunctive billing, or any other utility-related
issues.
23. Weather Normalization. While Staff supports the Company's weather
normalization methodology used in this case, the parties agree to meet and confer prior to the
Company's next general rate case to evaluate the use of a 20-year rolling average methodology
(and not using the complete actual test year data in regression modeling). The meeting will discuss
Staff s preference that the regression model include actual data up to the end of the test year
included in the rate case filing, instead of stopping at the end of the most recent calendar year.
Discussion should also address the model and it being adjusted outside of the timeframe of the
data used to create it.
24. Adlyl-A Pe Replacement. Avista agrees to meet with Staff and other interested
parties within six months of the final order of this rate case to discuss potential mechanisms to
speed up replacement of Aldyl-A pipe, and other priority pipe replacement for public safety.
D. COST OF SERVICE/RATE SPREAD/RATE DESIGN
25. Cost ofService/Rate Spread Base Rate Changes). The Settling Parties do not agree
on any particular cost of service methodology. In recognition,however,that certain rate schedules
are generally above or below their relative cost of service, the Settling Parties agree that Schedule
25P should receive 25%, Street and Area Lights 75%, Schedules 1 and 25 100%, Schedules 21/22
and 31/32 125%, and Schedules 11/12 105% of the overall percentage base rate changes. For
natural gas, the Settling Parties agreed to apply the margin increase on September 1, 2025 to
Schedule 101. The margin decrease on September 1, 2026 will be applied evenly to Schedules
111/112 and 146.
STIPULATION AND SETTLEMENT—AVU-E-25-01 &AVU-G-25-01 Page 18
26. Rate Design. The Settling Parties agree to the rate design changes proposed by the
Company in Mr. Miller's direct testimony for the September 1,2025, and September 1,2026,base
rate increases except for certain basic charges and volumetric rates.$ The basic charges for
Schedules 1, 11, 12, 31, 32 and 101 will remain at current levels. Appendix F provides a summary
of the current and revised rates and charges (as per the Settlement) for electric and natural gas
service.
