A VU-04- CASE NO. A VU-04- APPLICATION OF A VISTA CORPORATION (ELECTRIC AND NATURAL GAS) Application is hereby made to the Idaho Public Utilities Commission for an Order granting Avista Corporation ("Applicant, " " Company," or "Avista ) the authority to increase its rates and charges for electric and natural gas service to electric and natural gas customers in the State of Idaho to be effective on and after March 10, 2004. Through this filing the Company is requesting a net electric rate increase of $18. million or 11.0%. The net increase of 11.0% includes a requested increase in electric base retail rates of $35.2 million or 24.1%, together with a proposed reduction in the current Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) surcharge rate. Due to the proposed reduction in the PCA rate, the net overall change to customers' electric rates would be 11.0% instead of 24.1 %. With regard to natural gas, the Company is requesting an increase of $4 754 000 or 9.2%. In support of this Application, Applicant states as follows: The name of the Applicant is A vista Corporation, dba A vista Utilities, a Washington corporation whose principal business office is 1411 East Mission Avenue, Spokane Washington, and is qualified to do business in the State of Idaho. A vista maintains district offices in Moscow, Lewiston, Sandpoint and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Communications in reference to this Application should be addressed to the following: David J. Meyer, Esq. Senior Vice President and General Counsel A vista Corporation O. Box 3727 1411 E. Mission Avenue, MSC- Spokane, W A 99220-3727 Phone: (509) 495-4316Fax: (509) 495-4361 Kelly Norwood Vice President - State and Federal Reg. A vista Corporation O. Box 3727 1411 E. Mission Avenue, MSC- Spokane, W A 99220-3727 Phone: (509) 495-4267Fax: (509) 495-8856 Application of A vista Corporation Case Nos. A VU-04-01 & A VU-04- Page 1 A vista is a public utility primarily engaged in the generation, transmission and distribution of electric power and the distribution of natural gas in certain portions of eastern and central Washington, northern Idaho, as well as distribution of natural gas in northeast and southwest Oregon and in the South Lake Tahoe region of California. The Company is subject to the jurisdiction of this Commission, the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission, the Oregon Public Utility Commission, the California Public Utilities Commission, the Montana Public Service Commission and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. III. Applicant's existing base rates and charges for electric service were approved as a result of the Commission s Order No. 28097 dated July 29, 1999 in Case No. WWP-98-11. The existing rates and charges for electric service on file with the Commission designated as Applicant's Tariff No. 28 are incorporated herein as though fully attached hereto. IV. Applicant s existing base rates and charges for natural gas service were approved as a result of the Commission s Order No. 22974 dated February 12, 1990 in Case No. WWP- 88-5. The existing rates and charges for natural gas service on file with the Commission designated as Applicant's Tariff No. 27 are incorporated herein as though fully attached hereto. Application of A vista Corporation Case Nos. A VU-04-01 & A VU-04- Page 2 The electric and natural gas rates and charges which Applicant desires to have the Commission approve are filed herewith as Exhibit A. Also included in Exhibit A are copies of the tariff schedules showing the proposed changes by striking over the existing rates and underlining the proposed rates. Company witness Brian Hirschkorn fully describes in his testimony and exhibits the proposed changes herein. VI. The circumstances and conditions relied upon and justification for approval of the proposed increase in rates for electric and natural gas service are as follows: Applicant's present electric and natural gas rates will not produce sufficient revenue to provide operating income required to allow the Applicant the opportunity to earn the 82% rate of return being requested and supported in this Application. The Applicant's last electric general rate case in Idaho was filed in 1998 (effective 1999) and there have been no changes in natural gas base rates since 1990. In the past three years, the Applicant has, among other things, added significant new generating capabilities and has experienced record-low hydroelectric conditions and unprecedented high wholesale market prices , which has resulted in credit ratings below investment grade and increased financing costs. In addition, the Company has experienced a general increase in utility operating costs, and a decline in electric and natural gas usage per customer, which have contributed to the need for rate relief. Unless the increased rates as requested in this filing are approved, Applicant's rates will not be fair, just and reasonable and it will not have the opportunity to realize a fair rate of return on its investment. Application of A vista Corporation Case Nos. A VU-04-01 & A VU-04- Page 3 Applicant's evidence in support of its need for increased electric and natural gas rates is based on a 2002 test year (year ended). Applicant's rate base evidence is presented on an average basis. Documentation showing how the test year data was adjusted is provided in the testimony and exhibits of Company witness Don Falkner. Applicant provides utility service in states other than Idaho.jurisdictional separation of all investments, revenues and expenses allocated or assigned in whole or in part to the Idaho utility business regulated by this Commission are described in the testimony and exhibits of Company witness Don Falkner. VII. Applicant's evidence will show that an overall rate of return of 9.82% is fair, just and reasonable. The Company s exhibits and testimony support an increase in retail electric and natural gas rates of $35.2 million and $4.7 million respectively. Simultaneous with the filing of this Application, Applicant has filed its prepared direct testimony, and exhibits in support of its revised rates, as well as workpapers showing how test year data were adjusted. VIII. Company witnesses Scott Morris and Brian Hirschkorn explain a proposal to reduce the current Power Cost Adjustment rate such that the net change in electric rates to customers is $18.9 million or 11.0%, as compared to the overall proposed base rate increase requested of 24.1 %. The Company is requesting approval of reduced PCA rates in tariff schedule 66 as shown in Attachment A. Application of A vista Corporation Case Nos. A VU-04-01 & A VU-04- Page 4 Through this filing A vista is requesting approval of certain accounting and ratemaking treatment related to its proposal to implement an Advanced Meter Reading (AMR) program in Idaho. Mr. Falkner provides testimony regarding this request. IX. A complete justification of the proposed increases in electric and natural gas rates are provided in the testimony and exhibits of Company witnesses. The testimony and exhibits among other studies and justification, show financial information, costs of capital and appropriate cost of service studies. These witnesses and a brief summary of their testimony is as follows. Mr. Scott L. Morris, President of A vista Utilities, presents the Company s policy testimony and describes Avista Corporation and Avista Utilities' overall utility operations. He summarizes the Company s request in this filing, the major factors driving the Company need for general rate relief, and some of the current and future challenges being addressed by the Company. Finally Mr. Morris introduces other witnesses providing testimony on the Company s behalf. Mr. Morris explains that: Over the past three years the Company has faced a number of serious challenges and has instituted aggressive measures to manage its way through the financial difficulties presented by record-low hydro conditions, unprecedented high wholesale market prices and power plant construction expenditures; The Company s strategy continues to focus Avista Corp. activities on energy and energy-related businesses, with its primary focus on the electric and natural gas utility business; The Company s need for electric rate relief is driven by the addition of new generating resources, such as Coyote Springs 2 and Boulder Park, a reduction in wholesale sales revenue, and increased fuel costs for thermal generation primarily natural gas. A vista has also experienced an increase in financing costs and a decline in electric use per customer; Application of A vista Corporation Case Nos. A VU-04-01 & A VU-04- Page 5 Avista s need for natural gas rate relief is driven primarily by the decline in natural gas usage by customers combined with the growth in customers, and the general increase in expenses over the past fourteen years; A vista Utilities offers a number of programs to assist customers who have difficulty in paying their energy bills. Some of these programs will serve to mitigate the impact of the proposed rate increase on customers; Issues being addressed by A vista that will affect future investment and costs for the utility include items such as new transmission upgrades, Spokane River relicensing, regional transmission organization development efforts, and volatility of wholesale energy prices. Mr. Malvn Malquist, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer will describe among other things, the overall financial condition of the Company, its current credit ratings the Company s plan for a return to investment grade credit ratings , the proposed capital structure, and the return on equity requested by the Company. Mr. Malquist explains that: The Company s credit rating is below investment grade for unsecured debt having been severely impacted by the Western energy crisis of 2000 and 2001; A vista is aggressively rebuilding its financial health including retiring higher cost debt and conserving cash through strategic initiatives; The Company has proposed an overall rate of return of 9.82%, including a 44.3% equity ratio and an 11.5% return on equity; Although the analyses of Dr. A vera and Dr. Wilson support a return on common equity in excess of 11.5%, A vista has limited it request to 11.5% in an effort to balance the competing objectives of A vista regaining its financial health within a reasonable period of time, and the impacts that increased rates have on our customers; This general rate request for electricity and natural gas in the State of Idaho is an important component in the continuing improvement of A vista s financial condition, providing the opportunity to regain an investment grade credit rating. Dr. William E. A vera.as a principal in Financial Concepts and Applications (FINCAP), Inc., has been retained to present testimony with respect to the Company s cost of capital and capital structure. He concludes that: Analyses related to the cost of common equity for a benchmark group of electric utilities in the western U.S. yields an ROE in the range of 10.4% to 11.9%; Application of A vista Corporation Case Nos. A VU-04-01 & A VU-O4- Page 6 The investment risks associated uniquely with A vista, however, are significantly greater than those of the utilities in the benchmark group and investors require a higher rate of return to compensate for that risk; Based on capital market analyses and the economic requirements for electric utility operations, an 11.5% ROE falls below the current required rate of return for Avista, in light of investors' economic requirements and the Company specific risks; The challenges imposed by the evolving structural changes in the industry imply that utilities will be required to incorporate relatively greater amounts of equity in their capital structures. The total equity ratio of 44.3% proposed by A vista in this case would barely meet the targets that Standard & Poors expects for an investment grade rated utility. Dr. William Wilson , a Senior Economist at Ernst and Young, will explain his methodology for assessing industry risk and operating company risk, and the resulting return on equity for A vista based on this methodology. Dr. Wilson will: Demonstrate a marked increase in volatility of operating earnings as a percentage of rate base among regulated electric utility operating companies during the 1998-2002 period, when compared to prior periods. Higher volatility implies higher risk. Allowed rates of return in the utility industry have not been adjusted to reflect this higher risk; Present a methodology to recognize the risk profile of electric utility operating companies that incorporates data from 116 regulated electric utilities; Identify and analyze twelve key variables to assess the risk of an individual utility relative to other utilities in the industry; Conclude that the analysis , including consideration of the specific operating risks of A vista, supports an ROE for A vista at the higher end of an ROE bandwidth from 11.08% to 13.32%. Mr. Richard Storro, Director of Power Supply, will present an overview of resource planning and power operations , will address the Commission s PCA Order regarding Risk Policy, and will describe the Company s hydro-relicensing activities related to the Clark Fork and Spokane Rivers. He explains: A vista is in a surplus or balanced energy position through 2007 on an average annual basis. The Company has an average energy deficit of 22 aMW in 2008 and increases to 333 aMW in 2014; Application of A vista Corporation Case Nos. A VU-04-01 & A VU-G-04- Page 7 The Company intends to continue the preferred resource strategy laid out in its recent 2003 Integrated Resource Plan, which is a combination of market purchases, energy efficiency, renewable resources, combined cycle combustion turbines, and coal-fired generation; Avista is upgrading its Cabinet Gorge Project Unit #2, and is applying the very successful approach it used in the relicensing of its Clark Fork projects to its Spokane River facilities relicensing process; Mr. Storro also addresses the Company s Energy Risk Policy as it relates to its procurement strategies. Mr. Robert Lafferty,Manager, Wholesale Marketing & Contracts, among other things will address the Company s selection of the Coyote Springs 2 (CS2) generating project, the management of CS2 construction issues and the reasonableness of certain gas supply contracts deferred to this case by the Commission from the Company s 2003 PCA case. Mr. Lafferty demonstrates that: With regard to the CS2 Proiect: The Company s selection of CS2 as a resource from its 2000 all-resource Request For Proposal process was reasonable. The Company reasonably and fairly evaluated 32 proposals from 23 bidders, which resulted in the selection of CS2 as the supply-side resource; It was reasonable to sell 50% of the CS2 project to Mirant, given the financial challenges facing the Company; The Company, along with its CS2 partner Mirant, took reasonable steps to bring the CS2 project to commercial completion as quickly as practical when taking into account the impacts of the EnronlNEPCO bankruptcies and the generator step-up transformer delays. The costs associated with the CS2 project are reasonable and should be approved for recovery. With regard to issues deferred from the 2003 PCA: The Company s decisions to purchase index-based firm delivered natural gas for CS2, with delivery flexibility to provide fuel supply to other natural gas-fired generation projects, were reasonable; The Company s decision to fix the price of a portion of its index-based natural gas, by entering into four medium-term hedge transactions, was based on its need for resources to serve net system load, which resulted in a lower cost to generate power compared to purchasing electric power in the market; Application of A vista Corporation Case Nos. A VU-04-01 & A VU-04- Page 8 The Company periodically enters into medium-term power transactions, such as the hedged transactions. The decision to enter into the transactions was reasonable, based on the information available at the time. Mr. William Johnson,Senior Power Supply Analyst, will describe the adjustments to the 2002 test period power supply revenues and expenses. Mr. Johnson describes: The Company s adjustments to the 2002 test period power supply revenues and expenses. These adjustments are designed to reflect the normalized level of revenues and expenses, and to include known and measurable changes to the revenue and expense items; The increase in net power supply expenses since the Company s last general rate case of approximately $11 million (Idaho share). The two primary changes include the reduction in wholesale sales revenue (PGE capacity sale) of $6 million, and an increase in net fuel expense for thermal generation (primarily CS2) of $4.5 million; The Company s updated base costs to be used in future Power Cost Adjustment calculations. Mr. Clint Kalich Manager of Power Supply Planning and Analysis, will describe the Company s Aurora model inputs, assumptions, and results related to the economic dispatch of Avista s resources to serve load requirements. He explains that: The AURORA system dispatch model more accurately reflects the true system dispatch of A vista s resources on an hourly basis, than the prior model that used monthly data; The model dispatches Avista s generation resources and contracts on an hourly basis in a manner that maximizes benefits to customers; The output results from the model, including thermal generation and short-term wholesale sales and purchases, were provided to Mr. Johnson to incorporate into the power supply proforma adjustments. Mr. Don Kopczynski, General Manager of Energy Delivery, will describe Avista energy delivery operations , the Company s vegetation management program, and the major transmission upgrades currently in progress. Mr. Kopczynski describes: Avista s customer service programs such as energy efficiency, Project Share and payment plans. Some of these programs will serve to mitigate the impact on customers of the proposed rate increase; Application of A vista Corporation Case Nos. A VU-04-01 & A VU-04- Page 9 The effort, in collaboration with the Bonneville Power Administration, to build and upgrade transmission infrastructure that will improve the delivery of electricity to meet existing and future power needs in Avista s service territory; The projects represent over $100 million in new infrastructure investment that will be completed by 2006; Avista s comprehensive and professionally-staffed vegetation management program that reduces customer outages, improves safety, and enhances system reliability. Mr. David Holmes, Manager of Distribution Engineering, will present the Company plan to implement an advanced meter reading (AMR) program. Mr. Holmes explains: The Company plans to install meter upgrades to Idaho electric and natural gas meters over a four-year period beginning in 2005 at a cost of approximately $16.3 million; The benefits include savings in meter readings, customer billing, maintenance expense, and future customer service enhancements; The Company does not seek an increase in rates at this time for AMR costs. Mr. Don Falkner, Manager of Revenue Requirements, will discuss the Company overall revenue requirement proposals.In addition, his testimony and exhibits in this proceeding will generally cover accounting and financial data in support of the Company s need for the proposed increase in rates. He sponsors: Electric and natural gas revenue requirement calculations; Electric and natural gas results of operations; Proformed operating results including expense and rate base adjustments; System and jurisdictional allocations; Advanced Meter Reading accounting proposal. Ms. Tara Knox,Rate Analyst, sponsors the cost of service studies for electric and natural gas service and the weather normalization adjustments to retail usage. Ms. Knox studies indicate: Electric service residential and extra large service schedules are earning substantially less than the overall rate of return under present rates; Application of A vista Corporation Case Nos. A VU-04-01 & A VU-04- Page 10 Gas general service schedule 101 (primarily residential customers) is earning slightly less than the overall return, all other schedules are earning more than the overall return, but less than the requested return; Mr. Hirschkorn incorporates these findings in his rate spread recommendation. Mr. Brian Hirschkorn Manager of Retail Pricing, discusses the spread of the proposed annual revenue changes among the Company s general service schedules and addresses the Company s revenue normalization adjustment. He explains that: The proposed annual net electric revenue increase is $18 871 000, or 11.0%. The net increase consists of a proposed general increase of $35,222,000 as well as the proposed reduction in the present Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) surcharge of $16 351 000; The proposed increase for a residential customer using an average of 941 kwhs per month is $7.85 per month, or a 13.9% increase in their electric bill. The present bill for 941 kwhs is $56.52 compared to the proposed level of $64.37; 0 As part of that increase, the Company is proposing that the basic customer charge be increased from $4.00 to $5.00 per month; The Company is proposing to add an energy usage rate block to each of its electric general service schedules (Schedules 11, 21 and 25), whereby the larger customers served under those schedules would pay a lower incremental energy rate for usage beyond a certain level; Since the Company s last general rate case, usage per customer appears to have declined significantly for all customer classes. From 1997 (last general case test year) to 2002, residential use per customer has declined from 1 037 kwhs per month to 941 kwhs, or about 9%. Use per customer has declined about 8% for commercial and industrial customers during that time, and about 14% for the Company s largest fourteen customers served under Schedule 25; The Company is proposing changes to the present Schedule 25 rate structure that will result in Potlatch paying an average rate per kwh that is lower than the average rate(s) paid by other Schedule 25 customers; The proposed natural gas annual revenue increase is $4 754 000, or 9.2%; The increase for a residential customer using an average of 73 therms of gas per month would be $5.75 per month, or 9., which includes a proposed increase in the monthly basic customer charge from $3.28 to $5.00; 0 A bill for 73 therms per month would increase from the present level of $60. to a proposed level of $65.76; The Company requests that the Commission issue a finding that electric energy efficiency expenditures from January 1 , 1999 through December 31, 2003 and natural gas energy efficiency expenditures from March 13, 1995 through December 2003 were prudently incurred.

RELOCATION - If relocation of service pipe is due solely to meet the convenience of the Applicant or Customer, or is made necessary by acts of the Customer which create hazards to the main or meter or make the main or meter inaccessible, such relocation will be performed by the utility AT THE EXPENSE OF THE APPLICANT OR CUSTOMER. The Company shall provide the customer an estimate of such relocation costs before the actual relocation occurs. Any structure built over an existing service line , or above or around a meter, that does not allow the utility ready access to its facilities , or allow the free upward venting of gas should a leak ever occur, constitutes an unacceptable hazard that will require correction.

Spokane, Wash.: Avista Corp. (NYSE:A VA) has filed a request with Idaho regulators to increase electric prices by 11 percent above current rates and natural gas prices by 9.2 percent. Avista s request is designed to increase electric revenues by $18.9 million annually and natural gas revenues by $4. million annually. The Idaho Public Utilities Commission (lPUC) generally has up to seven months to review A vista s rate case filing. Avista has not had a general electric price increase in Idaho since 1999, and this would be the first general natural gas price increase in Idaho since 1990. Avista has invested $81 million in its electric generation and transmission system, another $54 million in electric distribution, and $73 million in its natural gas system since its last general rate increases - a total of more than $200 million of additional utility plant to meet the needs of its customers. In addition, Avista s current rates in Idaho are based on the company s 1997 operating costs on the electric side of its business and 1987 operating costs on the natural gas side. Accordingly, existing rates do not reflect A vista s current costs of providing electric and natural gas service to its customers. Under the company s proposal, the monthly bill for a residential electric customer with average monthly usage of 1 000 kilowatt-hours of electricity would increase from $60.15 to $68.37 , an increase of $8.22 per month. The monthly bill for a residential gas customer using an average of 70 therms of natural gas would increase from $57.68 to $63., an increase of $5.58 per month. Avista is proposing that the basic monthly charge for residential electric service be increased from $4.00 to $5.00 and the natural gas basic monthly charge be increased from $3.28 to $5.00. -- more -- Page 2 A vista Files General Rate Case with Idaho Regulators On the electric side, the request will be for a 24 percent overall change in base rates. However A vista is requesting a reduction in its current Power Cost Adjustment surcharge, which would reduce the overall impact on customers to an 11 percent increase above current rates. In 2001 , the IPUC approved a 19.4 percent surcharge that allowed Avista to begin recovering costs associated with the record-low streamflow conditions and high market prices that the company incurred during the energy crisis of 2000 and 2001. If the commission approves A vista s proposal, the remaining PCA balance would be recovered over a two-year period at a reduced rate. Our filing reflects the company s efforts to ensure long-term and reliable energy supplies for our customers. To accomplish that goal, we ve made significant investments in new generating resources and in electric and natural gas infrastructure since our last general rate case filings " said Scott Morris, president of Avista Utilities. "We have been quite purposeful in successfully meeting our objective of owning or controlling electric resources exceeding 100 percent of our retail load. Our focus has been on controlling our own destiny and reducing reliance on potentially volatile energy markets. Morris also noted that the rate request represents another step in the company s financial recovery and its ongoing efforts to restore its investment grade credit rating, which was lowered during the 2000-01 energy crisis. Among the issues A vista is asking the commission to consider in its electric and natural gas rate filings are the company s investment in the Coyote Springs 2 generating station, operation and maintenance costs, increased power supply costs, and increased financing costs since the company s last electric and natural gas general rate cases. A vista recognizes the impact of price increases on its customers, especially on those who have the most difficulty paying their energy bill. A vista s ongoing commitment to customers also includes support of Project Share, an energy assistance program. Other customer programs include CARES, a program assisting those who face challenges paying their bills; Comfort Level Billing, a plan that averages annual energy bills into equal monthly payments; and ongoing energy conservation and efficiency programs. Avista also offers rebates for residential weatherization (wall, floor, ceiling, ducts) and high efficiency water heaters and furnaces. The company offers energy conservation education, including workshops for seniors, energy use guides and home visits by meter shop personnel to help customers reduce energy costs on a long-term basis. .. more ..

Avista has added 8,275 electric customers and 9,040 natural gas customers in Idaho in the past five years.
