Chinden Blvd Building 8, Suite 201-A Boise, ID 83714 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. If you have any questions regarding this filing,please contact me at(509) 495-7839 or j aime.stpeter(ae,avi stacorp.com.

No.28 Second Revision Sheet 90 90 AVISTA CORPORATION d/b/a Avista Utilities 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.

No.28 Second Revision Sheet 90A 90A AVISTA CORPORATION d/b/a Avista Utilities 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.
