RE: CASE NO. AVU-E-00-05 (Avista)
EXTENSION OF FILING DATE
Pursuant to Commission Order No. 27679 issued August 24, 1998 in Avista Case No. WWP-E-98-01 [In the Matter of the Commission’s Own Investigation into the Costs of Providing Electric Service of the Washington Water Power Company], Avista Corporation dba Avista Corporation dba Avista Utilities—Washington Water Power Division is required to submit to the Commission updated unbundled cost information in a precise format on or before July 1 of every year.
On May 26, 2000, the Company filed with the Commission a request for an Order approving an extension of filing date for the required unbundled cost report from July 1, 2000 to September 1, 2000. See attachment.
The Company states that it has historically based its Idaho filing on a semi-annual Commission Basis of Operations Report filed with the Washington Commission by April 30 and October 31 of each year. This year Avista was granted an exemption from the Washington requirement due to the Company’s ongoing rate case activity. To file data in Idaho consistent with previous reports, the Company requires an extension.
Commission Decision
Staff has no objection to the Company’s requested extension. Staff notes, however, that this Commission’s requirement is independent of any requirement of other regulatory jurisdictions. Does the Commission find it reasonable to grant the requested extension?
