Re: Avista Utilities Proposed Changes to Schedules 90 and 91
Dear Commission Secretary:
In accordance with the Rules of Procedure of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission
(Commission), Rule 134 (IDAPA 31.01.01.134), attached for electronic filing with the
Commission are the proposed tariff revisions of Avista Corporation, dba Avista Utilities (Avista
or the Company), requesting revisions to the following electric tariff sheets, I.P.U.C.No. 28:
Third Revision Sheet 90 Canceling Second Revision Sheet 90
Third Revision Sheet 90A Canceling Second Revision Sheet 90A
Seventh Revision Sheet 90B Canceling Sixth Revision Sheet 90B
Fifth Revision Sheet 90C Canceling Fourth Revision Sheet 90C
Sixth Revision Sheet 90D Canceling Fifth Revision Sheet 90D
Sixteenth Revision Sheet 91 Canceling Fifteenth Revision Sheet 91
The primary purpose of this filing is to incorporate the mention of demand response (DR)
programs and/or services within the Company's tariff Schedule 90, "Electric Demand Side
Management Programs",' to provide the Company with an avenue through which it can include
demand response as a part of its demand side management (DSM) offerings and therefore charge
a portion of administrative costs expended in support of DR through its associated Schedule 91,
'The current title of tariff Schedule 90 is"Electric Energy Efficiency Programs";the Company is requesting a revision
to"Electric Demand Side Management Programs"as described within this filing.
"Demand Side Management Rider Adjustment— Idaho" (DSM Rider).2 Additional revisions are
housekeeping in nature, intended to improve the overall format and flow of the Schedule 90 tariff,
and to align Schedule 91 by adding mention of DR and replacing the term "energy efficiency",
with the term "demand side management" or "DSM". Because the housekeeping revisions serve
as a fairly extensive reorganization of tariff Schedule 90 overall, a summary of the changes made
within each tariff sheet is provided below for ease of reference and review.
• Sheet 90—The title of Schedule 90 was modified from"Electric Energy Efficiency
Programs" to `Electric Demand Side Mana eme Programs" [Emphasis added],
to allow for mention of demand response within this programmatic tariff(versus it
being energy efficiency only).A"Purpose"section was added to inform the general
intent and objective of Schedule 90; this section includes mention of both energy
efficiency and demand response and incorporates some of the description
information about DSM's overall purpose that was formerly in the "Availability"
section. The "Availability" section, which was previously overly broad in its
mention of program availability, cost-effectiveness, incentive types, and tariff
purpose, is now narrowed to only describing the customers segments to which the
programs and services within this tariff schedule are available. Lastly, a
"Participation and Funding" heading was added, which consolidates information
formerly contained within the "Eligible Customer Segments" and "Availability"
sections regarding customer eligibility, cost-effectiveness, and specification
regarding the types (i.e., monetary vs. non-monetary) and sources of funding
available for participants.Demand response was also incorporated into this section,
clarifying that DR incentives are not eligible for funding under the corresponding
Schedule 91, but rather only the administrative costs expended in support of these
DR programs can be funded through the DSM Rider. The "Measures" section was
moved down to the next sheet (Sheet 90A) to allow appropriate space for the
additions and modifications made.
• Sheet 90A—Language regarding customer participation agreements and liabilities
was added. Specifics regarding demand response participation were incorporated
under the "Measures" section. Information regarding incentives for distributed
renewable energy measures was removed in an effort to better reflect current and
planned program portfolio mix, as this language is no longer relevant for Avista's
DSM efforts and will be replaced should it be needed in the future. The"Incentives
and Nonmonetary Assistance" (formerly"Funding and Nonmonetary Assistance")
section was moved to the next sheet(Sheet 90B)to allow appropriate space for the
additions and modifications made.
• Sheet 90B=The "Funding and Nonmonetary Assistance" section was modified to
"Incentives and Nonmonetary Assistance" to better align with the intent of the
z The current title of tariff Schedule 91 is"Energy Efficiency Rider Adjustment-Idaho";the Company is requesting
a revision to"Demand Side Management Rider Adjustment—Idaho"as described within this filing.
section (detailing what is funded versus how, which is discussed in the
"Participation and Funding" section) and to eliminate redundancy in using
"Funding" in multiple headings. Information within the "Funding" subsection was
reorganized and consolidated to provide a more comprehensive view of the actual
provisions of Avista's DSM programs, as the prior format presented duplicative
information in various sections (e.g., the "Measures" section already adequately
covers the explanation that electric efficiency measures with
demonstrable/verifiable energy savings are eligible for funding, so there is no need
to restate that information again under this subsection). Market transformation was
also removed from this section, as it is already covered within "Measures";
statements about market transformation within the "Funding" section were moved
to "Non-Monetary Assistance". Information formerly contained within Sheet 90C
(former Sec. 4.1.1-4.1.4) was consolidated into this sheet.
• Sheet 90C—Information on this sheet remains largely untouched.The only changes
made are to the numbering system used throughout all sheets and the movement of
market transformation from the "Funding" section to the "Non-Monetary
Assistance"section, as described above for Sheet 90B, since such funding does not
involve direct monetary incentives to the customer (but rather to a local, regional,
or national organization).
• Sheet 90D—The "Budgeting and Reporting" section was re-worded slightly, with
no change in meaning or intent. The remaining content on this sheet is unchanged.
• Sheet 91—The term"energy efficiency"was replaced with the term"demand side
management", or "DSM" and DR was added, with reference made back to the
Company's tariff Schedule 90 for further details.
The Company does not consider any of the changes described above to be material in nature
— they are instead intended to provide a cleaner, better organized version of the prior tariff
formatting—and no changes in rates or program design(outside of DR administration, as detailed)
are being requested as a part of this filing. As such, Avista respectfully requests the Commission
approve the proposed revisions to its tariff Schedules 90 and 91 effective July 1, 2026.

SCHEDULE 90
ELECTRIC DEMAND SIDE MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS
IDAHO
1. PURPOSE
To provide conditions applicable to the programs and services (hereafter
collectively referred to as "Programs")funded under the Company's tariff Schedule
91, "Demand Side Management Rider Adjustment" (DSM Rider). These Programs
include both energy efficiency and demand response opportunities intended to
promote the efficient use of electrical energy by providing Customers with access
to incentives, information, assistance or products that promote
conservation/energy efficiency decisions or investments.
2. AVAILABILITY
Programs are available to all residential, commercial, and industrial retail
electric distribution Customers specified within Schedule 91, and are limited to
end uses where electricity, as served by the Company, is the energy source.
Customers receiving electric distribution service provided under special contract
and/or Customers not otherwise specified under Schedule 91 are not eligible for
Programs unless specifically stated in such contract or other service agreement
with the Company. Facilities-based Programs are available to owners of facilities
and may also be provided to tenants who have obtained appropriate owner
consent.
3. PARTICIPATION AND FUNDING
Customer participation under this schedule shall be based on eligibility
requirements contained herein, with resource acquisition deemed cost-effective as
defined by a Utility Cost Test (UCT) at the portfolio level, unless otherwise
described. The Company may provide partial funding for the installation of electric
efficiency measures and may provide other Programs to Customers for the
purpose of identification and implementation of cost-effective electric efficiency or
demand response measures as described in this schedule. The broad availability
of this tariff does not preclude the Company from targeting measures, markets and
specific Customer segments as part of an overall effort to increase the cost-
effectiveness and access to the benefits of electric efficiency/conservation.
Programs may take the form of monetary incentives or non-monetary
incentives, as further defined within this tariff, with funding for such Programs
provided by surcharges collected through the DSM Rider. DSM Rider funding is
not responsible for system resource costs such as demand response incentives,
though administration of these Programs may be funded through the DSM Rider.

SCHEDULE 90 — continued
Participation in Programs assumes Customer agreement and permissions in
allowing the Company to utilize energy-use or electricity demand data for incentive
calculation and evaluation purposes. Additional Customer participation related to
Programs, such as feedback via survey or interviews, may be requested. A
Customer is solely responsible for, and assumes all liabilities associated with, any
independent third-party contracting necessary to enable the Customer's
participation in Programs, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company.
4. MEASURES
Electric efficiency measures with verifiable energy savings and demand
response measures intended to achieve capacity reductions are eligible for
Programs; measure eligibility may not apply to all customer segments. Final
determination of applicable measure eligibility will be made by the Company.
Eligible energy efficiency technologies may include, but are not limited to, energy-
efficient appliances, assistive technologies, controls, motors, heating, ventilation
and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems, lighting, maintenance, monitoring, new
technologies, and shell measures. Eligible demand response Programs may
employ a variety of methodologies and technologies, including both Company-
owned and those owned, leased or maintained by the Customer or by a third-party
service provider.
Customers who participate in demand response Programs offered under this
schedule consent to make temporary, systematic reductions in end-use electric
loads. Programs provided may be incentive-based, where the Company provides
the Customer incentives for performance.
Market transformation ventures will be considered eligible for funding to the
extent that they improve the adoption of electric efficiency measures that are not
fully accepted in the marketplace. These market transformation efforts may include
efforts funded through regional alliances or other similar opportunities.
