Please describe any CIP 4-related services provided to the Company by Peak (See Kensok DI, pg. 5, line 24).
RESPONSE:
Per discussions with Staff, as CIP version 5 is the current set of future enforceable standards, we have answered this question as if it relates to CIP version 5.
Peak Reliability has provided no services to Avista related to CIP version 5.
See Staff_PR_062 for scope and impact of the requirements to transition from CIP version 3 to CIP version 5.
