BP A RESIDENTIAL EXCHANGE PROGRAM BENEFITS The Northwest Regional Power Act establishes a Residential Exchange Program to provide benefits to residential and small farm consumers of Pacific Northwest utilities. A Settlement Agreement between Avista and BPA settled the Parties' rights and obligations for the Residential Exchange Program for the ten-year term of the Agreement, October 1 2001 through September 30 2011. A vista uses the residential and farm energy rate adjustment credit to pass on to its qualifying electric customers the residential exchange benefits it receives from BP III. PROPOSED ENERGY RATE ADJUSTMENT CREDIT The proposed rate credit is set forth on proposed Fifth Revision Sheet 59 - Residential and Farm Energy Rate Adjustment. The Company proposes an effective date of November 1 2004. The proposed rate credit is a uniform cents per kilowatt-hour decrease of 0.412~ and would apply to residential and small farm customers served under Schedules 1 , 12 , 32 and 48. For residential and small farm area lighting customers served under Schedule 48, the proposed credit is applied on a uniform cents per kilowatt-hour basis to the energy usages of the various lights covered under that rate schedule. The calculation of the proposed rate credit is shown in the workpapers that A VISTA'S APPLICATION TO MODIFY RESIDENTIAL EXCHANGE CREDIT RATE PAGE 2 accompany this filing. The proposed rate credit of 0.412~ per kilowatt-hour is designed to pass through the proj ected balance of accumulated benefits at October 31 , 2004, as well as the expected level of benefits to be received from BP A during the period November 1 2004 through October 31 2005. The proposed increase in the rate credit would result in an overall reduction in annual revenue of approximately $1.7 million. The increase in the rate credit will have no effect on A vista net income. For a residential customer using 1 000 kilowatt-hours per month the new credit would be $4.12 per month or $1.60 more than the existing credit of$2.52 per month.
