REQUEST:
A vista has recently relied on financial hedging to provide some level of natural gas price
stability. Please provide all data on all hedges executed from 1999 to present. Please provide
the analysis that indicates that maintaining this practice is preferred (operationally and/or
financially) to reacquiring all of Avista s storage resources.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE:
Avista s original response inadvertently omitted the data requested on all hedges executed from
1999 to present. A spreadsheet listing all hedges executed by A vista for Washington/Idaho for
the period requested is attached. These hedges are all fixed for float swaps and represent only
deals done for natural gas utility core load. All of the hedges with transaction dates up to and
including May 16, 2001 were executed by the Utility outside of the Benchmark Mechanism.
Hedges transacted after that date were executed by A vista Energy on behalf of the Utility as part
of the Benchmark Mechanism as modified effective April of 2002.

The Company reports employees' volunteer hours to its Board of Directors. Please identify how
these hours are tracked and whether the Company compensates employees for these volunteer
hours. If the Company compensates for volunteer hours, please identify the amounts
recorded/allocated to Idaho Gas and Electric Operations.
RESPONSE:
A vista employees take pride in making a difference in their communities through their volunteer
involvement. In an attempt to acknowledge their efforts, as well as understand how much they
contribute to their communities, A vista asks its employees to report their involvement, on a
quarterly basis. Reporting of employee volunteer efforts is, however, not mandatory.
If an employee chooses to report their volunteer hours, those "employee hours" are tracked by
our Community Relations department. The number of employee hours reported are then
consolidated quarterly and reported to management in order to keep our organization informed of
the employee hours reported.
Since employee volunteer hours are to be done on the employee s personal time, Avista
employees are not compensated for their volunteer efforts.
