NEWS RELEASE: Commission sets intervenor filing deadline in utility's applications on
prudence determinations for energy efficiency program expenses.
BOISE (Sept. 19, 2025)—The Idaho Public Utilities Commission has set an Oct. 8 deadline for
interested parties to file as intervenors in two cases that will determine if expenses Avista
Utilities incurred for its 2024 electric and natural gas energy efficiency programs were prudently
incurred.
The programs are designed to help the utility's Idaho customers conserve energy. They include
rebates for installing energy-efficient products like Energy Star certified windows and
educational outreach to help customers reduce energy use and costs. The programs are funded by
an energy efficiency rider charge on customer bills.
Avista is asking the commission to designate $17,276,972 in electric energy efficiency program
expenses as prudently incurred. The expenses were from Jan. 1, 2024, through Dec. 31, 2024.
The utility also is asking the commission to designate $2,279,817 in natural gas energy
efficiency program expenses as prudently incurred. Those expenses also were from Jan. 1, 2024,
through Dec. 31, 2024.
Intervenors in a case are allowed to participate in the proceedings for applications filed with the
commission.
