CASE NO. AVU-05-
APPLICATION OF A VISTA CORPORATION
Pursuant to Rule 52 of the IPUC Rules of Procedure, A vista Corporation (A vista) hereby
requests authority to include in its Idaho electric base rates its additional investment in the
Coyote Springs 2 (CS2) generating plant and the associated operating costs, reflecting its
purchase of Mirant Oregon, LLC'(Mirant) interests. 1 The Company also requests a
corresponding decrease in the Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) surcharge rate to offset the CS2
increase in base rates such that the net effect is no overall change in retail rates for customers.
I. INTRODUCTION
On January 19 , 2005 Avista plans to execute the final documents to purchase Mirant'
50% ownership interest in the Coyote Springs 2 generating plant. Avista will assume ownership
and begin operating the second half of CS2 at 12:01 a.m. January 20, 2005. CS2 is a 280 MW
I Mirant Oregon, LLC is a subsidiary of the Mirant Corporation.
APPLICATION OF A VISTA CORPORATION -
natural gas-fired, combined-cycle, combustion turbine project, located in Morrow County,
Oregon. Avista s purchase price for Mirant's 50% share of this project is $62.5 million, which is
equal to approximately 58 cents on the dollar of the original investment. The sale of Mirant's
interest to Avista was previously approved in Mirant's bankruptcy proceeding.
This Commission previously approved, for rate base treatment, A vista s initial 50% share
of the CS2 project, doing so in its recent Order No. 29602 , issued on October 8, 2004, in Case
No. A VU-04-1. After the purchase of Mirant's 50% interest , Avista now owns 100% ofCS2.
By this Application, A vista is requesting authority to include in base rates the remaining
50% interest previously owned by Mirant. As a result of this acquisition, A vista is not seeking
an increase in overall rates presently in effect; instead, A vista proposes to reduce the PCA
surcharge by an amount (approximately 1.9%) sufficient to offset the base rate increase required
as a result of the acquisition of Mirant's share of CS2. The only changes in rate base and
revenues and expenses proposed by the Company in this filing, from the base rates recently
approved by this Commission, are the ownership and operating costs associated with Avista
acquisition of the second half of CS2? No other changes are being proposed, other than a
reduction in the PCA surcharge to offset the rate impact.
Finally, for reasons discussed below, Avista respectfully requests that this Application be
processed under Modified Procedure, in accordance with Rule 201.
In summary, this Application will demonstrate that: (1) Avista had the opportunity to
acquire Mirant's share of CS2 at a very favorable price ($439/kW) compared to other generation
alternatives; (2) A vista has a demonstrated need for the additional generation made possible by
2 All other approvals for the transfer of Mira nt's interest to Avista have been received; these include FERC'
approval under Section 203 of the Federal Power Act, which was provided on December 30 2004, as well as other
necessary transfer authorizations under Oregon s siting requirements (State of Oregon Energy Facility Siting
Council).

this acquisition; and (3) the recovery of the costs of this acquisition will not result in a net
increase in present rates.
In support of this Application, Avista states as follows:

APPLICATION OF A VISTA CORPORATION - 3
Recently-Concluded Rate Case Examined the Company s Books and Records
Applicant's existing base rates and charges for electric service were approved as a result
of the Commission s Order No. 29602 dated October 8, 2004 in Case No. A VU-04-1. 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. In its Order
No. 29602 supra, this Commission recently authorized an increase in the Company s Idaho
electric base revenue requirement which was offset, in part, by a reduction in the PCA surcharge
rate and a reduction in an energy efficiency rider. These offsetting adjustments served to reduce
the authorized rate increase to $3 182 000, or 1.9%.
In arriving at a revenue requirement, the Commission addressed a variety of proforma
adjustments to both results of operations and rate base, and approved a return on common equity
of 10.40% and an overall rate of return of 9.25%. This fully litigated case resulted in a very
recent determination of the Company s revenue requirement, based on a complete examination
of the Company s books and records.
In that recently concluded case, the Commission also heard extensive testimony from the
Company, Staff and Intervenors concerning the Company s request to include in rates its 500/0
share of CS2. Evidence was presented concerning the Company s need for the resource
including the Company s 2000 Request for Proposals (RFP) for an additional 300 MW(s) of
capacity and energy. This process resulted in the selection of the 280 MW CS2 combined cycle
turbine as the preferred supply side option.4 Subsequently, as will be discussed below, Avista
sold 50% of the CS2 project to Mirant on December 12, 2001 , due to Company financial
constraints brought on by record-low hydroelectric conditions and unprecedented high market
pnces.
4 The Company also selected two demand-side management proposals as part of the 2000 RFP process.
APPLICATION OF A VISTA CORPORATION - 4
In its Order No. 29602 , the Commission found that Avista s interest in CS2 ". . . was a
needed resource and that the acquisition of CS2 by A vista Utilities was reasonable and prudent."
(Order No. 29602 supra at p. 21.) Moreover, the Commission found that ". . . the purchase cost
was reasonable in the context of other resource alternatives offered in the Company s 2000
RFP.(Id Accordingly, the Commission has recently considered substantial testimony with
respect to the history of the project, as well as Avista s analysis of resource needs and its review
of alternatives. Moreover, this was all in the context of a freshly-determined revenue
requirement, addressing A vista s entire results of operations and rate base.
Overview of Transaction at Issue: Avista s Acquisition of Mirant's Share of CS2
By way of a brief sYnopsis, 100% of the 280 MW CS2 project was selected as part of an
all-resource RFP process in December of 2000.5 Avista subsequently sold 50% to Mirant in
December 2001 , due to financial challenges faced by the Company. The plant began commercial
operation on July 1 2003 and, after problems with the generator step-up transformer were
addressed, the plant has operated efficiently; its heat rate averages below 7 000 Btu s/kwh, and
the plant is operating at a high equivalent availability factor of 97.6%.
In April 2004, financial difficulties faced by Mirant prompted it to offer to A vista the
opportunity to reacquire the second half of CS2. It should be remembered that Avista s 2003 IRP
preferred resource strategy for the period 2004-2013 included an additional 149 average MW of
combined cycle combustion turbine resources. Accordingly, the acquisition of Mirant's share of
CS2 (representing 140 MW) is consistent with this preferred resource strategy, as will be
discussed below.
5 The IRP conducted in 2000 demonstrated a need for approximately 300 MW of capacity and energy in the form
of a base-load resource, beginning in 2004.
APPLICATION OF A VISTA CORPORATION - 5
Moreover, the cost of acquiring Mirant's share of CS2 was very attractive: Avista paid
$62.5 million, which translates to $439/kW of installed capacity. The $62.5 million purchase
price represents approximately 58% of the original investment for this portion of the CS2
project. Navigant Consulting was retained to review Avista s analysis of this purchase from
Mirant and to perform its own independent analysis and evaluation. As part of its analysis
Navigant reviewed other comparable transactions for combined cycle plants, and determined that
the average value of comparable natural gas asset transactions in the western half of the United
States was $569/kW, which was well in excess of Avista s cost of $439/kW for Mirant's share.
Navigant concluded that Avista s negotiated price of $62.5 million was reasonable - indeed, it
was below the economic valuations performed by the Company that were in the range of $67
million. Simply put, this provided a very attractive opportunity to acquire a needed resource at a
very competitive price.
No Net Rate Chan2e to Customers Will Result
A vista, by this Application, is proposing no net rate change to customers . Even though
A vista is requesting that the Commission authorize A vista to reflect the second half of CS2 in
base rates, the associated general revenue requirement would be offset by a proposed decrease in
the present PCA surcharge rates.
Including the costs of the second half of CS2 in base rates would increase the Company
revenue requirement by $3 235 000, or 1.89%. The pro forma adjustments associated with the
increased ownership and operating costs of the Coyote Springs 2 project lowers the Company
Idaho rate of return (ROR) to 8.79%. A base rate increase of $3.2 million is necessary to bring
the 8.79% return back up to the 9.25% ROR that the Commission recently approved in Case No.
APPLICATION OF A VISTA CORPORATION - 6
A VU-04-The Company is also proposing a $3.2 million reduction to the PCA surcharge
currently in effect so that the requested net electric rate increase would be reduced to zero.
Attached as Exhibit A to this Application are four pages showing the recently authorized
and the proposed electric operating results and rate base for Avista s State of Idaho electric
operations, as well as the calculation of the proposed revenue requirement in this filing.6 Exhibit
illustrates the impact of including the impact on power supply operations and the capital
investment associated with the Company s addition of the second half of the CS2 project, as well
as the spare transformer for the CS2 project, on Avista s authorized Idaho net operating income
and rate base.
In Exhibit A, no methodology or time period changes have been introduced to the
approved Idaho electric results of operations and revenue requirement calculations. Only the
impact of the power supply operations and the additional capital investment in the CS2 proj ect
have been added. Additional explanation of the calculations on Exhibit A are provided on page
5 of Exhibit A.
The proposed increase in base rates, and the corresponding decrease in the present PCA
surcharge rates, by class, are shown in column ( e) of Exhibit B. The proposed tariff sheets
reflecting the increase in base tariff rates and the corresponding decrease in the PCA rates are
attached as Exhibit C.
The proposed reduction in the PCA rates would extend recovery of the deferred power
cost balance by approximately 12 months to September 2007.
6 The Company s most recent general rate change was implemented September 9 2004 pursuant to IPUC Order No.
29602. It was slightly amended on December 2 2004, pursuant to IPUC Order No. 29638.
APPLICATION OF A VISTA CORPORATION - 7
II. REQUEST FOR MODIFIED PROCEDURE
A vista respectfully requests a determination under Rule 201 , that the public interest does
not require a hearing to consider the issues presented in this matter, and that this matter can be
processed under modified procedure, i., by written submissions rather than by hearing.
This Commission has very recently heard extensive testimony concerning the CS2
project and its history, and has had the opportunity to examine the 2000 RFP/IRP process leading
up to Avista s decision to initially acquire the entirety of the 280 MW CS2 plant. Accordingly,
the Commission is familiar with the project and the underlying analysis. This Application, with
its supporting materials, sets forth in detail the justification for reacquiring Mirant's share of
CS2 , including the need for the resource and the reasonableness of the price paid. Moreover
Avista s decision, in this regard, was supported by the analysis of an independent consultant
Navigant Consulting. Thus, the framework for the Commission s decision with respect to this
Application, is well established. This Application presents a single issue (the costs associated
with the second half of CS2), following on the heels of a thorough examination of the
Company s books and records in the context of its just-completed rate case.
Moreover, as of January 20, 2005 , A vista is in possession of the second half of CS2, and
stands as owner of 100% of the project. Accordingly, 90% of any margins earned from the
second half of CS2 will immediately begin to be credited to customers through the PCA process
currently in place in Idaho, while A vista bears the capital costs associated with the acquisition.
Therefore, there is a mismatch in who receives the costs and benefits of the second half of CS2
until the Commission approves the inclusion of the remaining share of CS2 in base rates.
For its part, Avista has supplied what it believes are all pertinent exhibits along with this
Application, containing an analysis of the need for, and economics of, the purchase from Mirant.
APPLICATION OF A VISTA CORPORATION - 8
In addition, supporting workpapers are being provided at the same time to Staff and Interested
Parties, in order to expedite their review. Avista stands ready to quickly respond to discovery
requests. To this end, A vista invites Staff and Interested Parties to immediately provide any
discovery requests to A vista.
A vista respectfully proposes the following time line for Commission consideration, for
purposes of processing this Application under Modified Procedure:
January 26, 2005: Commission issues its Notice of Modified Procedure under
Rule 202.
March 1 , 2005: Staff/Interested Parties submit comments on the Application, after
conducting their discovery.
March 15 , 2005: Avista files reply comments, and the matter is finally submitted
to the Commission for decision under Modified Procedure.

V. HISTORY OF COYOTE SPRINGS 2 PROJECT
As stated earlier, Avista s general rate case filing in Case No. A VU-04-1 included
extensive testimony, exhibits and workpapers supporting the Company acquisition and
ownership of the first half of the CS2 Project In Order No. 29602 in that case, the Commission
approved Avista s request for rate base treatment for the first half of the CS2 project
Therefore, with regard to the history of the CS2 Project, a brief description of the Project will be
provided here, along with a brief chronology of events leading up to Avista s acquisition of the
second half of CS2.
8 In its Order, the Commission approved rate base treatment of$108 023,400 of Avista s $108 369 200 investment
in the CS2 project (on a system basis).
APPLICATION OF AVISTA CORPORATION - 10
Description of the CS2 Proim
CS2 is a 280 MW natural gas-fired, combined-cycle combustion turbine project, located
in Morrow County, Oregon. Page 1 of Exhibit D shows the location of the plant in relation to
Avista s electric service area. The plant is physically interconnected to the 500 kilovolt (kV)
transmission system of the Bonneville Power Administration (BP A), and is approximately 18.
miles west of the Pacific Gas Transmission (PGT) pipeline, near the Washington/Oregon border.
Although the resource is located to the southwest of A vista s service area, electronic equipment
has been installed at the plant so that the resource is electrically located within the control area
operated by A vista Utilities.
The Coyote Springs site was originally developed by Portland General Electric (PGE),
and was designed for two gas-fired combined-cycle units. Coyote Springs 1 (CS1), the first unit
was completed in 1995 , and is owned and operated by PGE. With Avista s recent acquisition of
Mirant's 50% share of CS2, Avista now owns 100% of the second unit. The CSI and CS2
buildings are connected physically, as shown in the photograph on page 2 of Exhibit D. For
efficiency purposes, CS2 was designed to be operated from the same control center as CS 1 , and
A vista has an operating agreement with PGE for PGE to operate CS2 for A vista.
1000/0 of CS2 Acquired by A vista Throu2h the RFP in 2000
Integrated Resource Plan CJBE) and Request for Proposals (RFP) in 2000
In 2000, 100% of the CS2 project was selected by Avista as the resource to meet Avista
long-term resource needs. Avista s update to the IRP in 2000 showed a long-term resource need
for approximately 300 MW of capacity and energy, and the need for a base-load resource in
2004. (Excerpts from the updated IRP in 2000 are attached as Exhibit E; the entire updated IRP
is included in workpapers.In August 2000 Avista issued an "all-resource RFP requesting
APPLICATION OF A VISTA CORPORATION -
offers for all resource types, including supply-side and demand-side resources. The RFP was
developed with input from the Idaho and Washington Commission staffs, and other parties
outside the Company.
Avista received 32 proposals from 23 bidders in response to the RFP, for a total of2 700
MW of resources. The proposals included a variety of resources including energy efficiency and
supply-side proj ects, including renewable resources.
Selection of Resources Under the 2000 RFP
Supply-side and demand-side resources were subjected to an evaluation and screening
process developed in advance of opening the bids. The evaluation process included both price
and non-price factors. Analyses and results of the evaluations were shared with Idaho and
Washington Commission staffs.
Avista also retained R.W. Beck to conduct a third-party review and evaluation of the
Company s dispatch and economic modeling analyses. The R.W. Beck report included the
following assessment of the Company s analytical approach and methodology:
Based on our review, R.W. Beck believes the approach taken by Avista in its analysis of
the alternative resource proposals provides a fair comparison of the resource options
including in the bid proposals or the self-build option. We believe that comparing
Avista s total system cost with and without each of the resource options, and the net
project benefit of each proposed resource, is a reasonable way to determine which options
are the most financially and economically viable for A vista.
A vista has used an adequate level of care to include the necessary assumptions and
methodology in both the Prosym TM modeling of the bids and in the economic analysis
spreadsheets. R. W. Beck did not find any material deficiencies (such as miscalculation
of formulas or omission of essential data) in either the input files or the electronic spread
sheet analyses.
At the conclusion of the RFP process in December 2000, A vista selected 100% of the
CS2 project as the preferred supply-side resource option. Construction of the CS2 project began
in January 2001.
APPLICATION OF AVISTA CORPORATION - 12
Avista s Sale of 500/0 of CS2 to Mirant in the Fall of 2001
During 2001 A vista experienced the worst hydroelectric generation conditions on record
coupled with unprecedented high wholesale market prices. The combination of low water
conditions and high market prices caused the Company to incur significant expenditures for
replacement power, which created serious financial challenges. A vista was not able to secure
project financing for the CS2 project, and was unable to otherwise finance the project on its own
under reasonable terms.
After considering and evaluating the available options, A vista entered into an agreement
with the Mirant Corporation. The December 2001 agreement transferred half-ownership in the
CS2 project to Mirant, in return for payment of one-half of the capital costs (both prior and
prospective) of the plant.
Completion and Operation of the CS2 Proim
Commercial operation of the CS2 project was originally scheduled for June 2002. The
commercial operation of the project was ultimately delayed until July 1 2003 because of the
Enron bankruptcy, and problems with the generator step-up transformer.
Excluding the period when CS2 was down with transformer problems, the Project has
operated with a high equivalent availability factor at 97.6%, and a forced-outage rate of less than
2%. In addition, recent tests in December 2004 showed a favorable heat rate for the CS2 project
of6 814 Btu/kWh.
In addition, A vista purchased a spare generator step-up transformer from a different
manufacturer. The spare transformer is at the CS2 site, is available for use, and is part of the
overall incremental investment in CS2.
9 The circumstances and costs associated with the delay in the commercial operation of CS2 were addressed in detail
in Case No. A VU-04-
APPLICATION OF AVISTA CORPORATION - 13
VI. OFFER BY MIRANT TO SELL ITS 500/0 SHARE OF CS2
On July 14, 2003 , Mirant filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, citing in their press
release "strain on our liquidity and (a lack of timely support by creditors J threatened the
feasibility of our business plan .. . (and withJ uncertainty about the timing of the recovery in
power prices and a slow economic recovery in the U.S. ...it became clear that a comprehensive
financial reorganization was the best approach for our stakeholders.
In April 2004, representatives of Mirant-Oregon LLC approached A vista to indicate that
its interest in the CS2 project was for sale.l0 On July 12, 2004 the Company and Mirant-Oregon
LLC executed a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) for Avista to purchase the plant. A copy of
the LOI is provided as Exhibit F.
VII. A VISTA'S ASSESSMENT OF RESOURCE NEED RELATED TO
MIRANT'S SHARE OF CS2
A vista s Inte2rated Resource Plan in April 2003
Avista s most recent IRP (April 2003) identified a Preferred Resource Strategy (Resource
Strategy) including a mix of wind, coal, conservation, and natural gas-fired resources. The
report focused on supply diversity and the need to reduce both future costs and price volatility.
In total, the need for new resource additions through 2013 totaled more than 400 aMW.
Following the 2003 IRP, the Company acquired 35 MW of wind capacity through a 2003 Wind
RFP.
The natural gas-fired combined-cycle component of the 2003 IRP Resource Strategy
equaled 149 aMW. The opportunity to acquire the remaining half of CS2 , at 140 MW, is
consistent with the 2003 IRP long-term Resource Strategy. Excerpted pages from the 2003 IRP
10 Mirant-Oregon, LLC, a subsidiary of Mirant, is the actual half-owner of CS2. As of this filing data, the Mirant-
Oregon, LLC subsidiary of Mirant Corporation has not itself filed for bankruptcy protection.
APPLICATION OF A VISTA CORPORATION - 14
showing the natural gas-fired combined cycle component of the Resource Strategy are attached
in Exhibit G. A complete copy of the 2003 IRP has been provided in the workpapers of this
filing.
Avista s Loads and Resources Positions at Time of Final Analysis
The Company s loads and resources (L&R) positions are updated periodically to reflect
various resource additions, deletions, and modifications, as well as changes in A vista s load
obligations. The Company s L&R at the time the Company entered into the agreement to
acquire Mirant's share of CS2 , showed resource deficiencies in the 1 s\ 3rd and 4th quarters of
2005 and future years, absent the second half of CS2.(Excerpts from the Company
August/September 2004 loads and resources position are included in Exhibit H; the entire reports
have been included in workpapers.) Although the addition of the second half of CS2 adds to
Avista s surplus energy during the 2nd quarter, under many operating conditions, a natural gas-
fired combined cycle project such as CS2 would be displaced by lower priced power during the
spring runoff period in the 2nd quarter, and would not be running. The second half of CS2
however, is a needed addition to Avista s resource base by covering deficits in Ql , Q3, and Q4.
The following chart shows the Company s L&R positions for the 1 st quarter of each year
from 2005 through 2010. The chart shows that Avista s existing resources for the 1st quarter of
each year, for planning purposes, are not sufficient to cover the Company s load. As the loads
continue to grow over time, they exceed available resources including the second half of CS2.

generation in the 2nd quarter, as well as the fact that loads are generally lower given the relatively
mild temperatures in the same period.

VIII. ECONOMIC ANALYSES AND PURCHASE PRICE
FOR THE SECOND HALF OF CS2
Avista purchased Mirant's 50% share of the CS2 project for a negotiated price of $62.
million, or $439 per kW of installed capacity. This purchase price is equal to approximately 58
cents on the dollar of the original investment in the project.
A vista s Economic Evaluation of the Second Half of CS2
With regard to the economic analyses underlying the purchase price of $62.5 million, the
Company performed two separate evaluations of Mirant's half of CS2: one in May 2004 and a
second in September 2004. The first evaluation, completed on May 7, 2004, was comprised of
eight scenarios.The eight scenarios came from four different forward analyses of the
marketplace, combined with two transmission scenarios. 12 The analyses evaluated the
procurement of firm transmission on a year-around basis, and a second scenario was examined
where the plant would be constrained during the second quarter due to transmission curtailments
on the BP A system.
The Company performed various scenarios to reflect the potential future value of CS2.
The May 2004 Base Case scenario included a combination of forward market prices through
2008, followed by 2003 IRP prices through the end of the study period, and the assumption that
the plant would not be available to serve load or sell into the wholesale marketplace in the
second quarter due to transmission constraints.
II A vista s cost for the first half of CS2 was $108 million. As a 50% owner in the CS2 project, Mirant's investment
in CS2 would have been comparable to Avista s $108 million investment in the project, apart from some possible
differences in costs such as interest costs during construction.
12 Mirant did not procure firm transmission for its share ofCS2. Avista will "firm up" transmission for the plant, as
explained later in this Application.
13 Firm transmission is currently not available on an annual basis primarily due to peak hydroelectric generation
during the second quarter.
APPLICATION OF A VISTA CORPORATION - 20
The Base Case value from the May analysis, which was used by A vista in its negotiations
with Mirant, was $68.0 million The remaining scenarios ranged from between $43.1 and $116.
million. The May analysis showed an expected net ratepayer savings of $7.5 million over the
study period based on the purchase price of $62.5 million. The May 2004 analysis is provided in
Exhibit
A vista continued to perform analyses after signing the non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI)
in July 2004. Transmission alternatives were also reviewed. A vista completed its second
economic evaluation in September 2004. Six of the original scenarios were revisited, resulting in
a Base Case valuation equal to $66.7 million, as compared to the original study estimate of$68.
million. The September 2004 analysis is provided in Exhibit
In addition to the economic value and ability to meet retail load requirements, full
ownership of CS2 brings other benefits to the Company and its customers. Full ownership
A vista would improve the Company s ability to economically operate CS2. When Mirant was a
partner in the CS2 project, it periodically chose to not run the plant when A vista wanted to.
Although the joint operating agreement for CS2 allowed the entity interested in running the plant
to take the entire output of CS2, this arrangement did not allow A vista to plan on a forward basis
to meet load with the plant. If A vista was already in a balanced load and resource position at the
pre-schedule time when Mirant made its decision not to operate, the Company would need to go
to the market on a very short time frame (1-2 hours). Full ownership will prevent this last-minute
decision-making, and enhance the value of CS2 by allowing dispatch decisions to be made days
and months ahead of actual operations.
Further, decisions can be made faster in the event of unexpected plant de-rating or
outages, or in the event capital upgrades or replacements are necessary. While each of these
APPLICATION OF A VISTA CORPORATION - 21
items is not in and of itself greatly significant, together they add up to a meaningful improvement
in the ownership and operation of the CS2 project.
Electric Transmission
A vista included in its analyses the cost of BP A long-term firm transmission to move
power from the second half of the CS2 project to its system. BP A currently indicates that no
additional annual long-term firm transmission capability is available to move more power from
CS2 to the Company s system, due to transmission constraints during the spring hydroelectric
runoff period. BP A indicates that constraints occur in the second quarter under certain system
conditions during the time of high hydroelectric generation levels. Transmission is generally
available, however, during the 1 S 3rd and 4th quarters of the year when Avista needs the
generation.
As part of this transaction, A vista has the option to acquire Mirant's higher position in the
BP A queue for long-term firm transmission requests. A vista also has made its own long-term
firm transmission request to BP A for the CS2 transaction. A vista may acquire firm long-term
BP A transmission through either of those processes. A vista also plans to participate in the 2005
BP A open season for transmission upgrades to the John Day - McNary 500 kV transmission line
that will, if agreements are reached, provide adequate long-term firm transmission from the CS2
proj ect to our system.
In the near-term A vista plans to contract with third parties for short-term BP
transmission, for buy-sell arrangements, and/or for energy exchange arrangements.These
opportunities will allow the same energy transfer that would occur with a firm BP A transmission
purchase. Preliminary discussions with BP indicate that adequate short-term transmission
capacity will be available for Ql , Q3 , and Q4.In the Company s experience, non-firm
APPLICATION OF A VISTA CORPORATION - 22
transmission has very seldom been curtailed by BP A. A vista s Base Case valuation of the CS2
transaction factors in costs relating to transmission and recognizes that BP A may have a
constraint that restricts the Company s ability to transfer additional CS2 power during the second
quarter of each year. This conservative view of Q2 transmission availability over the life of the
project has only a modest impact on the value of CS2; the plant produces a small portion of its
economic value during the second quarter.
Natural Gas Transportation
Natural gas transportation for CS2 includes three components: AECO to Kingsgate;
Kingsgate to the Coyote Springs Lateral; and the Coyote Springs Lateral. At full load, the 280
MW CS2 project (100% share) consumes approximately 43 000 decatherms (dth) per day.
For the AECO to Kingsgate portion, Avista holds 34 138 dth per day from the
TransCanada Pipeline s 2003 expansion project, through October 2028. Avista Utilities also has
available an additional 10 268 dth of capacity for its retail natural gas distribution business that
can be reassigned through October 2008. This results in total delivery to CS2 equal to 44,406
dth per day.
A vista holds 16 500 dth per day through October 2027 on the Kingsgate to Coyote
Springs lateral. This capacity was obtained as part of Gas Transportation Northwest's (GTN)
2003 expansion. A vista also holds 10 000 dth per day on GTN that has been reassigned from its
retail natural gas distribution business, resulting in total delivery capability of 26 500 dth per
day. The Company plans to acquire an additional 16 500 dth per day, bringing the total capacity
on this leg to 43 000 dth per day.
APPLICATION OF AVISTA CORPORATION - 23
A vista and Mirant each hold contracts for 28 626 dth per day through October 2015 on
the Coyote Springs Lateral. Mirant has agreed as part of the CS2 transaction to transfer its
existing rights on the lateral to A vista as part of the sale.
Comparison With Other Combined Cycle Combustion Turbine Plants
As part of its review, Avista looked at the costs of other comparable natural gas-fired
combined cycle proj ects for the CS2 transaction.While few combined cycle plants have
changed hands in the West, there is an abundance of documentation on new plants. The table
below provides a comparison of available information. The information consists of data on new
combined cycle construction cost estimates, and some information on the few combined cycle
sale transactions that have occurred in the Northwest. The CS2 purchase price of $62.5 million
or $439 per kW of installed capacity, is significantly below the cost of comparable projects
including prices for larger projects with a different configuration that tend to have a lower cost
per-kW due to economies of scale.

generator. The 2xl configuration generally results in a lower cost per installed capacity due to economies of scale.
APPLICATION OF A VISTA CORPORATION - 24
Independent Review of the CS2 Transaction
The Company hired an external consultant to provide an independent assessment that
could be used by management in its decision-making. This assessment was designed to take a
fresh look at the valuation analysis, through independent eyes. Accordingly, A vista hired
Navigant Consulting, Incorporated to complete three tasks prior to the Company proceeding with
the transaction:1) review Avista overall methodology and analyses; 2) develop
independent valuation of Mirant's share of CS2 , to include base, low, and high scenarios; and 3)
compare the CS2 price to comparable power plant transactions occurring in the Northwest and
Western United States Region. The Navigant report is attached to this filing as Exhibit K.
Navigant developed an independent assessment of the future value of Mirant's share of
CS2. The consultant modeled low, base, and high valuation cases using a Prosym TM model.
Navigant found a base case value of $67.2 million for Mirant's interest in CS2 , which is very
close to the A vista September 2004 results of $66.7 million.
The N avigant evaluation indicated that the acquisition of Mirant' s share of CS2 for utility
customers was reasonable. In its conclusions, Navigant stated:
A vista s base case valuation ... for the remaining 50% of Coyote Springs II reflects a
reasonable valuation for this facility and compares favorably to the other transactions
consummated in the Pacific Northwest which have averaged $561/kW. (Page 15 of the
N avigant report) (emphasis added)
Navigant went further to explain:
NCI's independent analyses and base case valuation results reflect a value of $67.
million ($472/kW) for 50% of the Coyote Springs II facility... Therefore, based upon our
review of the A vista analyses, our own independent analyses, and comparable generation
transactions consummated in the market, NCI believes that A vista s negotiated purchase
price of $62.5 million for 50% of the Coyote Springs II facility is reasonable The
negotiated purchase price is below the Avista and NCI base case valuation results of
$66.7 million and $67.2 million respectively. (Page 15 of the Navigant report) (emphasis
added)

IX. A VISTA PURCHASE OF SECOND HALF OF CS2
Purchase and Sale A2reement
The Purchase & Sale Agreement for A vista to purchase the second half of the plant was
signed on October 13 2004. A copy of the Purchase & Sale Agreement is provided as Exhibit L.
The negotiated purchase price in the agreement was $62.5 million.
Auction Process
A competitive auction process was included as one of the conditions in the Purchase &
Sale Agreement. After completion of the auction process, the judge involved in Mirant's
bankruptcy process approved Avista s $62.5 million bid on December 15, 2004.
Other Approvals
The Company was also required to obtain approvals from the State of Oregon Energy
Facility Siting Council (OEFSC). A vista submitted its request to OEFSC on October 22, 2004
and the asset transfer was approved on December 2, 2004. It was also necessary to allow for the
applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.
The waiting period expired without issues on November 24, 2004.
The Company FERC Section 203 Request to Transfer Jurisdictional Asset was
submitted on November 23 , 2004. The comment period ran through December 29, 2004. No
comments or interventions were received, and FERC approved the transfer of CS2 to A vista on
December 30, 2004.
Closin2 of the Transaction
On January 19, 2005 Avista plans to execute the final documents to purchase the second half
ofCS2. Avista will assume ownership and begin operating 100% of the CS2 project effective at
12:01 a.m. January 20, 2005.

X. CS2 IMPACT ON NET POWER SUPPLY OPERATING EXPENSES
Net Chan2e in Power Supply Costs
The addition of the second half of CS2 reduces Avista s annual net power supply
operating expenses by $4.1 million on a system basis (this change in net expenses excludes all
rate base related costs such as depreciation and return on investment). The only changes in
power supply revenues and expenses proposed in this filing, from those approved by the IPUC in
the Company s recently concluded general rate case in Case No. A VU-04-1 (Avista 2004 Rate
Case), are those related to the addition of the second half of CS2.
The addition of the second half of CS2 results in the following changes in net power
supply costs (system basis):
An increase in electric transmission costs
A decrease in revenue from Mirant related to CS2
Change in
Expenses
$ in Millions)
($28.4)
(11.2)
30.4
1.7
An increase in wholesale electric sales revenue
A decrease in wholesale electric market purchases
An increase in natural gas purchases
An increase in natural gas transportation costs
Change in Net Power Supply Expenses ($4.
In calculating the change in net power supply expenses, A vista re-ran the power supply
model used in the Avista 2004 rate case (A VU-04-1). The only change included in the model
was the addition of the second half of CS2. All other inputs remained the same as those
approved by the IPUC in the 2004 rate case, including wholesale electric and natural gas prices
15 Avista provided reserves and load control services to Mirant for its share of the CS2 project. Avista s purchase of
Mirant's share eliminated this annual revenue from Mirant of $542 000 (system basis).
APPLICATION OF A VISTA CORPORATION - 27
thermal fuel costs , thermal availabilities, retail loads, etc. The natural gas costs to fuel the
second half of CS2 are based on the same price that was approved by the IPUC in the 2004 rate
case for the first half of CS2.
Pages 1 and 2 of Exhibit M include a power supply exhibit showing each of the changes
in net power supply costs related to the addition of the second half of CS2. Detailed workpapers
have also been provided with this filing.
Chan2es in Base Power Supply Costs for the PCA
The changes in costs associated with the addition of the second half of CS2 would result
in a new lower level of base power supply costs for the Power Cost Adjustment calculations.
The proposed new base power supply numbers for PCA purposes are shown on page 3 of Exhibit
M. A vista is proposing no other changes in this filing to the PCA mechanism or the PCA
calculations.
XI. FORM OF CUSTOMER NOTICE
Notice to the public of the proposal, pursuant to IDAP A 31.21.02.102, will be given
simultaneously with the filing of the Application by a news release and a bill insert that will be
mailed to all customers. All customers should receive the bill insert, which is attached as Exhibit
, no later than February 21 2005.
XII. AUTHORIZATIONS REQUESTED
WHEREFORE, A vista requests that the Commission issue an Order, under Modified
Procedure, that approves Avista s proposed tariff revisions to include in base rates the
incremental ownership and operating costs associated with CS2. A vista also requests approval
of tariff revisions that reflect a corresponding reduction in PCA surcharge rates, such that there
will not be a change in overall rates paid by customers. Finally, the Company requests approval
APPLICATION OF AVISTA CORPORATION - 28
of the proposed new lower level of base power supply costs to be used in future PCA
calculations.
