28 Proposed Electric Increase
29 Q.What is the proposed electric revenue increase in
30 this case and how is the Company proposing to spread the
31 increase by rate schedule?
Hirschkorn, Di 2
Avista Corporation
1 A.The proposed electric increase is $32,327,000, or
2 16. 7% over present base tariff revenue/rates in effect.
3 The proposed increase is spread by rate schedule on a
4 uniform percentage basis (16.7%).The proposed increase
5 over present billing rates, including the Power Cost
6 Adjustment (PCA) and Demand Side Management (DSM) rate
7
8
adjustments, is 15.8% overall.This information is shown
in detail on page 1, Schedule 3 of Exhibit No. 15.The
9 range in the percentage increase based on billed revenue
10 results from the application of the present PCA surcharge
11 on a uniform cents per kWh basis across all service
12 schedules.
13 Q. Why is the Company proposing that the increase be
14 spread on a uniform percentage basis to its electric
15 service schedules?
16 A.The Company does not have recent electric load
17 research data incorporated into its cost of service study.
18 The Company has initiated a new load (research) study, as
19 described by Company Witness Knox, with the results of the
20 study to be used to allocate costs by service schedule
21 within the cost of service study following completion of
22 the study.Until the results of the load study are
23 available (late 2009), and incorporated into the cost of
24 service study, the Company proposes that any general
25 increase be spread on a uniform percentage basis among its
Hirschkorn, Di 3
Avista Corporation
1 service schedules.A uniform percentage increase does,
2 however, result in moving the rates of return for each of
3 the schedules (with the exception of street and area
4 lighting schedules)closer to the cost of providing
5 service, based on the Company's cost of service study
6 sponsored by Witness Knox.This information is shown on
7 page 2, Schedule 3 of Exhibit No. 15.
8 Q. What is the proposed increase for a residential
9 electric customer with average consumption?
10 A.The proposed increase for a residential customer
11 using an average of 977 kWhs per month is $10.70 per month,
12
13
or a 15.9% increase in their electric bill.As part of
that increase,the Company is proposing that the
14 basic/customer charge be increased from $4.00 to $4.60 per
15 month. The present bill for 1,000 kWhs is $67.38 compared
16 to the proposed level of $78.08, including all rate
17 adjustments.
18 Q.IS the Company proposing any changes to the
19 present rate structures within its electric service
20 schedules?
21 A.No. The Company is not proposing any changes to
22 the present rate structures within its electric schedules.
23 Q.Where do you show the proposed changes in rates
24 within the electric service schedules?
Hirschkorn, Di 4
Avista Corporation
1 A.This information is shown in detail on page 3,
2 Schedule 3 of Exhibit No. 15.
3 Proposed Natural Gas Increase
4 Q.How is the Company proposing to spread the
5 overall natural gas increase of $4,725,000, or 5.8%, by
6 service schedule?
7 A.The Company is proposing the following
8 revenue/rate changes by rate schedule:
9
10
11
12
13
14
General Service Schedule 101 6.5%
Large General Service Schedule 111 3.3%
High An. Load Factor - Lg. General Srvc. Sch. 121
Interruptible Sales Service Schedule 131 4.9%
0.9%Transportation Service Schedule 146
15 This information is also shown on page 1, Schedule 6 of
16 Exhibit No. 15.The Company utilized the results of the
17 natural gas cost of service study, sponsored by Witness
18 Knox, as a guide in spreading the overall revenue increase
19 to its natural gas service schedules.The proposed
20 increase by rate schedule results in rates of return for
21 each schedule moving significantly closer to the cost of
22 providing service (unity), as shown on page 2 of Schedule
23 6.
24 Q.Why isn't an increase (decrease) percentage
25 change shown for Large General Service Schedule 121 in the
26 above table?
Hirschkorn, Di 5
Avista Corporation
1 A.As part of this filing, the Company is proposing
2 to combine Schedules 111 and 121 into a single service
3 schedule.There are presently only ten customers taking
4 service under Schedule 121 and, based on the nearly
5 identical present rates and rate structures between
6 Schedules 111 and 121, it no longer makes sense to maintain
7 that Schedule.I describe this in more detail later in my
8 testimony.
9 Q.What is the proposed monthly increase for a
10 residential natural gas customer with average usage?
11 A.The increase for a residential customer using an
12 average of 65 therms of gas per month would be $4.91 per
13 month, or 6.5%.A bill for 65 therms per month would
14 increase from the present level of $75.14 to a proposed
15 level of $80. as, including all present rate adjustments.
16 As part of this increase, the Company is proposing an
17 increase in the monthly customer charge of $0.72 per month,
18 from $3.28 to $4.00.

20 III.PROPOSED ELECTRIC RENU INCRESE
21 Sumry of Electric Rate Schedules and Tariffs
22 Q.Would you please explain what is contained in
23 Schedule 1 of Exhibit No. 15?
Hirschkorn, Di 6
Avista Corporation
1 A.Yes.Schedule 1 is a copy of the Company's
2 present and proposed electric tariffs, showing the changes
3 (strikeout and underline) proposed in this filing.
4 Q. Could you please describe what is contained in
5 Schedule 2 of Exhibit No. 15?
6 A.Yes.Schedule 2 contains the proposed (clean)
7 electric tariff sheets incorporating the proposed changes
8 included in this filing.
9 Q. What is contained in Schedule 3 of Exibit No.
10 15?
11 A.Schedule 3 contains information regarding the
12 proposed spread of the electric revenue increase among the
13 service schedules and the proposed changes to the rates
14 wi thin the schedules.Page 1 shows the proposed general
15 revenue and percentage increase by rate schedule compared
16 to the present revenue under base tariff rates (excluding
17 the present PCA and DSM rate adjustments), as well as the
18 proposed percentage increase compared to present revenue
19 under billing rates, including these rate adjustments.
20 Page 2 shows the rates of return and the relative rates of
21 return for each of the schedules before and after the
22 proposed increases.Page 3 shows the present rates under
23 each of the rate schedules, the proposed changes to the
24 rates wi thin the schedules, and the proposed rates after
Hirschkorn, Di 7
Avista Corporation
1 application of the changes.These pages will be referred
2 to later in my testimony.
3 Q. Why do you compare the proposed revenue
4 increase (s) to both present revenue under base tariff rates
5 and revenue under present billing rates?
6 A.Typically, proposed rate spread and rate design
7 information is shown as compared to revenue and rates under
8 base tariff rates, which exclude other rate adjustments.
9 However, the percentage change (s) that customers will see
10 on their bills will be based on present rates including
11 other rate adjustments.The Company believes that it is
12 also important to provide the information as it will
13 ultimately affect customer bills.
14 Q.Would you please describe the Company' s present
15 rate schedules and the types of electric service offered
16 under each?
17 A.Yes.The Company presently provides electric
18 service under Residential Service Schedule 1, General
19 Service Schedules 11 and 12,Large General Service
20 Schedules 21 and 22, Extra Large General Service Schedule
21 25, and Pumping Service Schedules 31 and 32. Additionally,
22 the Company provides Street Lighting Service under
23 Schedules 41-46, and Area Lighting Service under Schedules
24 47 -49. Schedules 12, 22, 32, and 48 exist for residential
25 and farm service customers who qualify for the ~Residential

Exchange"program operated by the Bonneville Power
Administration.The rates for these schedules are
3 identical to the rates for Schedules 11, 21, 31, and 47,
4 respectively, except for the Residential Exchange rate
5 credi t (presently zero).The following table shows the
6 type and numer of customers served in Idaho (as of
7 December 31, 2007) under each of the service schedules:

10 Proposed Electric Rate Spread
11 Q.How does the Company propose to spread the total
12 revenue increase request of $32,327,000 amng its various
13 rate schedules?
14 A.The Company is proposing that the requested
15 revenue increase be spread on a uniform percentage basis,
16 16.7% of base tariff rates, among its electric service
17 schedules. The uniform percentage increase of base tariff
18 rates results in an increase in billed revenue between
19 15.4% and 16.5%, as shown in colum (h) on page 1, Schedule
20 3 of Exhibit No. 15. The range in the percentage increase
21 based on billed revenue results from the application of the
Hirschkorn, Di 9
Avista Corporation
1 present PCA surcharge on a uniform cents per therm basis
2 across all service schedules.
3 Q.Why is the Company proposing to apply the
4 increase on a uniform percentage basis amng its service
5 schedules?
6 A.As described in Witness Knox's testimony, the
7 Company does not have recent load research data to use in
8 the cost of service study.Incorporation of updated load
9 data into the cost of service study will affect the results
10 by service schedule.AS Ms . Knox explains in her
11 testimony, approximately one-third of costs billed to
12 customers are allocated based on demand usage. The Company
13 has initiated a new load research study and the results of
14 the study will be used to allocate the appropriate costs by
15 service schedule.However, as load data must be gathered
16 for an entire calendar year, results of the study will not
17 be available until late-2009, at the earliest.Until the
18 results of the load study are available and reflected in a
19 cost of service study, the Company proposes that any
20 general increase be spread on a uniform percentage basis
21 among its service schedules.
22 Q.Has the Company exained the results of the cost
23 of service study, included in this filing, before and after
24 application of the proposed rate spread (uniform
25 percentage) ?
Hirschkorn, Di 10
Avista Corporation
1 A.Yes.As shown on page 2, Schedule 3 of Exhibit
2 No. 15, application of the proposed increase on a uniform
3 percentage basis results in the relative rates of return
4 (rate of return for Schedule divided by overall rate of
5 return) for nearly all of the service schedules moving
6 closer to unity (1.00).

8 Proposed Rate Design
9 Q.Where in your Exhibit do you show a compari son of
10 the present and proposed rates within each of the Company's
11 electric service schedules?
12 A.Page 3, Schedule 3 of Exhibi t No. 15 shows a
13 comparison of the present and proposed rates within each of
14 the schedules, which i will describe below.Colum (a)
15 shows the rate/billing components under each of the
16 schedules, colum (b) shows the base tariff rates wi thin
17 each of the schedules, colum (c) shows the present rate
18 adjustments applicable under each schedule, and colum (d)
19 shows the present billing rates.Colum (e) shows the
20 proposed general rate increase to the rate components
21 within each of the schedules, colum (f) shows the proposed
22 billing rates and colum (h) shows the proposed base tariff
23 rates.
24 Q.Is the Company proposing any changes to the
25 existing rate structures within its rate schedules?
Hirschkorn, Di 11
Avista Corporation
1
2
A.NO, it is not.
Q.Turning to Residential Service Schedule 1, could
3 you please describe the present rate structure under this
4 schedule?
5 A.Yes.Residential Schedule 1 has a present
6 customer / basic charge of $4.00 per month and two energy
7 ra te blocks:0-600 kWhs and over 600 kWhs.The present
8 base tariff rate for the first 600 kWhs per month is 5.842
9 cents per kWh and 6.612 cents for all kWhs over 600.
10 Q.How does the Company propose to spread the
11 proposed general revenue increase of $12, 591, 000 to
12 Schedule 1?
13 A.The Company proposes to increase the monthly
14 customer charge from $4.00 to $4.60, or 15.0%, with the
15 remaining revenue increase recovered through a uniform
16 percentage increase applied to the energy rates under the
17 schedule, as shown in colum (e) on page 3.
18 Q.Why is the Company proposing to increase the
19 monthly customer charge from $4.00 to $4.60 per month?
20 A.The total ~customer" costs from the Company's
21 cost of service study under present rates (at the overall
22 rate of return) in this filing are $12.32 per customer per
23 month.These are costs that do not vary with customer
24 usage and are allocated based on the numer of customer
25 (meters) served.While the Company does not propose to
Hirschkorn, Di 12
Avista Corporation
1 recover all customer-allocated costs through the customer
2 charge in this Case, given the overall proposed (base
3 tariff) increase of 16.7% to Residential Schedule 1, the
4 Company believes that the proposed increase to the customer
5 charge of $0.60 per month (15.0%) is reasonable.
6 What is the average monthly electric usage for aQ.
7 residential customer, and what is the effect of the
8 proposed increase on a customer's bill?
9 The average monthly usage for a residentialA.
10 customer is 977 kWhs. Based on the proposed increase, the
11 average monthly increase would be $10.70, or 15.9%.The
12 present monthly bill for 1,000 kWhs of usage is $67.38 and
13 the proposed monthly bill would be $78.08, including all
14 rate adjustments.
15 Turning to General Service Schedule 11, could youQ.
16 please describe the present rate structure and rates under
17 that Schedule?
18 The present rate structure under theA.Yes.
19 schedule includes a monthly customer charge of $6.00, an
20 energy rate of 7.295 cents per kWh for all usage under
21 3,650 kWhs per month, and an energy rate of 6.223 cents per
22 kWh for usage over 3,650 kWhs per month.There is also a
23 demand charge of $3.50 per kW for all demand in excess of
24 20 kW per month. There is no charge for the first 20 kW of
25 demand.
Hirschkorn, Di 13
Avista Corporation
1 Q.How is the Company proposing to apply the
2 proposed general revenue increase of $4,112,000 to the
3 rates under Schedule 11?
4 A.The Company is proposing that the customer charge
5 be increased by $0.50, from $6.00 to $6.50 per month, and
6 that the demand charge (over 20 kW) be increased $0.50 per
7 kW, from $3.50 to $4.00. The remaining revenue increase for
8 the Schedule is proposed to be recovered through a uniform
9 percentage increase applied to the two (block) energy
10 rates. The increase in the first block rate is 1.261 cents
11 per kwh, and is 1.077 cents per kwh in the second block
12 rate.
13 Q.In the Company's last general filing (Case No.
14 AVU-E-04-01) the Company proposed, and the Conuission
15 approved, the addition of a second energy rate block under
16 this Schedule.Could you please review the Company's
17 rationale for that change?
18 A.Yes.Under the previous rate structure, the
19 rates did not reasonably reflect the cost of providing
20 service to different customers served under the Schedule.
21 The previous rate structure resulted in a higher average
22 kWh charge for larger-use customers as compared with a
23 smaller-use customer with the same load factor.The
24 addition of the second rate block results in customers with
25 similar load factors paying approximately the same average
Hirschkorn, Di 14
Avista Corporation
1 ra te per kWh .The addition of the second block also
2 provided an incentive for most customers under the Schedule
3 to improve their load factor.
4 Q.In that Case, the Staff reconuended that the
5 Company gather information necessary to separate Schedule
6 11 into two schedules: demnd-metered and non demnd-
7 metered.What additional analysis has the Company
8 conducted for this Schedule?
9 A.The Company has examined some of the general
10 usage characteristics of these customer sub-groups and the
11 resul ts support the present declining-block rate structure.
12 The Company examined the billing data for all Schedule 11
13 (and 12) customers during a recent month (January 2008).
14 The results showed that only 6% of the customers taking
15 service under the Schedule have demand meters whose demand
16 usage exceeded 20 kW. The average energy usage during the
17 month for these customers was 11,306 kWhs, while the
18 average energy usage for the other 94% of the customers
19 (with demand less than 20 kW) was 1,520 kWhs.Further,
20 only 10% of the customers with demand less than 20 kW had
21 energy usage during the month that exceeded 3,650 kWhs,
22 which is the second/tail-block under the Schedule.This
23 analysis shows that the vast majority of the customers
24 taking service under the Schedule are relatively small
25 customers whose monthly usage is well below 3,650 kWhs.
Hirschkorn, Di 15
Avista Corporation
1 Q.How does this informtion continue to support the
2 present declining-block rate structure under the Schedule?
3 A.Generally, the incremental fixed costs required
4 to provide service to commercial and industrial customers
5 do not increase proportionately with increasing energy
6 usage. As most of the Company's fixed costs of service are
7 recovered through the energy charges (and demand charges
8 where applicable), larger use customers are generally less
9 costly to serve than smaller use customers on an emedded
10 cost per kWh basis, as fixed costs are spread over a larger
11 base of usage.This is nearly always reflected in a
12 comparison of energy rates across commercial and industrial
13 rate schedules.Within the Company's commercial and
14 industrial schedules, there is also a substantial range of
15 energy usage.Therefore, declining block rates for
16 commercial and industrial customers generally reflect the
17 cost of providing service wi thin rate schedules, as well as
18 across rate schedules.
19 Q.Based on the information provided above, wouldn't
20 the result of creating two rate schedules from the present
21 Schedule 11 be similar to the affect of the present rate
22 structure?
23 A.Yes.The energy rate billed to non demand-
24 metered (smaller) customers would be higher than the rate
Hirschkorn, Di 16
Avista Corporation
1 billed to demand-metered (larger) customers, which is the
2 same affect as the present rate structure.
3 Q.Are there issues associated with the creation of
4 new rate schedules?
5 A.Yes.Implementing new schedules creates issues
6 regarding the establishment of the new rates and the
7 relationship to cost of service, customer placement under
8 the appropriate rate schedule, revenue estimation and
9 potential customer bill impacts resulting from the new
10 rates/rate structures.
11 Q.In the Conuission's Order No.29602,the
12 Conuission directed the Company to provide additional
13 informtion justifying the continued use of a declining
14 block energy charge with respect to General Service
15 Schedules 11, 21 and 25.In addition to the previous
16 discussion regarding customer size and costs to serve, does
17 the Company have any additional informtion to support the
18 continued use of these rate structures?
19 A.Yes. One of the issues raised by the Commission
20 Staff in that Case was a question of whether the tail-block
21 rates (specifically Schedule 25) exceeded the variable cost
22 of providing service. Page 4, Schedule 3 of Exhibit No. 15
23 shows the (present) variable power supply costs by rate
24 schedule, from the cost of service study sponsored by
25 witness Knox, and the resulting variable power supply cost
Hirschkorn, Di 17
Avista Corporation
1 per kWh compared to the present and proposed tail-block
2 rates under Schedules 11, 21 and 25. These variable costs
3 include the cost of fuel to operate the Company's thermal
4 generating units and net purchased power.As shown,
5 clearly the tail-block rates (present and proposed) exceed
6 the variable costs of serving these load requirements.
7 Q.Turning to Large General Service Schedule 21,
8 could you please describe the present rate structure under
9 that Schedule and how the Company proposing to apply the
10 increase of $6,704,000 to the rates within the schedule?
11 A.Large General Service Schedule 21 consists of a
12 minimum monthly charge of $250.00 for the first 50 kW or
13 less, a demand charge of $3.00 per kW for monthly demand in
14 excess of 50 kW, and a two-block energy rate (s) :4.800
15 cents per kWh for the first 250,000 kWhs per month and
16 4.097 cents per kWh for all usage in excess of 250,000
17 kWhs.
18 The Company is proposing that the present minimum
19 demand charge (for the first 50 kW or less) be increased by
20 $25 per month, from $250.00 to $275.00, and the demand
21 charge for kW over 50 per month be increased by $0.50 per
22 kW, from $3.00 to $3.50.The remaining revenue increase
23 for the Schedule is proposed to be recovered through a
24 uniform percentage increase applied to the two (block)
25 energy rates. The proposed increase for the first 250,000
Hirschkorn, Di 18
Avista Corporation
1 kWhs used per month under the schedule is 0.845 cents per
2 kWh, and an increase of O. 722 cents per kWh for usage over
3 250 , 000 kWhs per month.
4 Q.Turning to Extra Large General Service Schedule
5 25, could you please describe the present rate structure
6 under that Schedule and how is the Company proposing to
7 apply the increase of $2,189,000 to the rates within the
8 schedule?
9 A.Extra Large General Service Schedule 25 consists
10 of a minimum monthly charge of $9,000.00 for the first
11 3,000 kVa or less, a demand charge. of $2.75 per kVa for
12 monthly demand in excess of 3,000 kVa, and a two-block
13 energy rate (s): 3.942 cents per kWh for the first 500,000
14 kWhs per month and 3.339 cents per kWh for all usage in
15 excess of 500,000 kWhs.
16 The Company is proposing that the present minimum
17 demand charge under the schedule be increased by $1,000 per
18 month, from $9,000 to $10,000, and the demand charge for
19 kVa over 3,000 per month be increased by $0.50 per kVa,
20 from $2.75 to $3.25.The remaining revenue increase for
21 the Schedule is proposed to be recovered through a uniform
22 percentage increase applied to the two (block) energy
23 rates.The proposed energy rate increase for the first
24 500,000 kWhs used per month is 0.675 cents per kWh and the
Hirschkorn, Di 19
Avista Corporation
1 increase for usage over 500,000 per month is 0.572 cents
2 per kWh.
3 Q.Why is the Company proposing to increase the
4 demnd charges under its General Service Schedules (11, 21
5 and 25)?
6 A.if demand charges are not increased at least
7 proportionately with energy charges, customers who have a
8 low load factor (high peak demand compared to average
9 energy use) would see a lower percentage increase in their
10 bill than a comparable customer with a higher load factor
11 (low peak demand compared to average energy use).This
12 result would not send the appropriate price signal to any
13 of its commercial and industrial customers.Nor would it
14 reflect the fact that the Company's demand charges are well
15 below the costs associated with meeting customers' peak
16 demand.
17 The Company's transmission and distribution system is
18 constructed to meet the collective peak demand of its
customers.Additionally, the Company must have adequate19
20 resources available to meet peak demand.If cus tomers
21 reduce their peak demand, it will reduce the need for
22 additional investment in these facilities and resources.
23 However, customers need to receive the proper price signal
24 to encourage a reduction in their peak demand, i. e., higher
25 demand charges.
Hirschkorn, Di 2 a
Avista Corporation
1 Q.How do the level of demnd costs from the
2 Company's cost of service study compare to the present
3 demnd charges?
4 A.The system allocated demand cost from the cost of
5 service study is approximately $10.79 per kilowatt (kW) at
6 the Company's proposed rate of return. The present demand
7 charges range from $2.75-$3.50/kW.While the exact level
8 of costs classified as demand-related can be debated,
9 clearly, the present demand charges are well below demand-
10 related costs.

12
Q.In the Coni ssion' s Order No.29602,the
Conuission established a separate service schedule,
13 Schedule 25P, applicable to Potlatch's Lewiston Plant.
14 Could you please describe the service the Company provides
15 to Potlatch's Lewiston Plant?
16 A.Yes.In Commission Order No. 29418, dated
17 January 15, 2004, the Commission approved a ten-year Power
18 Purchase and Sale Agreement (Agreement) between Avista and
19 Potlatch Corporation, applicable to Potlatch's Lewiston
20
21
Plant.The Agreement became effective July 1, 2003 and
expires June 30, 2013.The Agreement provides for the
22 purchase by Avista of potlatch's on-site generation of up
23 to 62 average megawatts per year at a price of $42.92 per
24 megawa t t - hour.Power purchased from Potlatch under the
25 Agreement is a directly-assigned resource to Idaho (no
Hirschkorn, Di 21
Avista Corporation
1 allocation to Washington). Avista serves Potlatch's entire
2 load requirement at the Plant, approximately 100 average
3 megawatts, under ~applicable tariff schedules and orders of
4 the IPUC in effect at the time electric power is
5 delivered" .During calendar 2007, Potlatch's generation
6 was 53 average megawatts and their total load requirement
7 was 103 average megawatts.
8 Q.Could you please describe the application of the
9 proposed increase of $5,694,000 to the rates under Schedule
10 25P?
11 A.Yes.The Company is proposing that the present
12 minimum demand charge under the schedule be increased by
13 $1,000 per month, from $9,000 to $10,000, and the demand
14 charge for kVa over 3,000 per month be increased by $0.50
15 per kVa, from $2.75 to $3.25.The remaining revenue
16 increase for the Schedule is proposed to be recovered
17 through an increase of 0.559 cents per kWh to the energy
18 charge.
19 Q.What changes is the Company proposing to the
20 rates under pumping Schedule 31 to recover the proposed
21 general revenue increase of $617, OOO?
22 A.The Company is proposing that the customer charge
23 be increased by $0.50, from $6.00 to $6.50 per month, with
24 the remaining revenue increase spread on a uniform
25 percentage basis to the two energy rate blocks under the
Hirschkorn, Di 22
Avista Corporation
1 Schedule. The proposed increase in the first block rate is
2 1.110 cents per kWh and the increase in the second block
3 rate is 0.947 cents per kwh.
4 Q. How is the Comany proposing to spread the
5 proposed revenue increase of $421,000 applicable to Street
6 and Area Light schedules, to the rates contained in those
7 schedules (Schedules 41-49)?
8 A.The Company proposes to increase all present
9 street and area light rates on an uniform percentage basis.
10 The resulting (base tariff) rates are shown in the proposed
11 tariffs for those schedules, contained in Schedule 2 of
12 Exhibit No. 15.
13 Q.Are you proposing any other changes to the
14 Company's electric service tariffs?
15
16
A.No.
Q.In Case No. AVU-E-04-01, the Commission Staff
17 recommended that, in the Company's next general rate case,
18 the Company provide a proposal to implement time-of -use
19 (TOU) rates wherever practical. Is the Company proposing
20 the implementation of any TOU rates in this filing?
21 A.No.Presently, the Company would have the
22 ability to implement TOU rates only for its Extra Large
23 General Service Schedule 25 and 25P customers. This group
24 is comprised of fourteen customers,with Potlatch's
25 Lewiston Plant (25P) representing 75% of the total energy
Hirschkorn, Di 23
Avista Corporation
1 usage of that group. Approximately half of these Schedule
2 25 customers are wood-product manufacturers who, because of
3
4
i
present market conditions, have reduced or scaled back
their operations.implementation of TOU rates for this
5 group of customers could have an additional impact on those
6 customers who only operate during on-peak hours. Given the
7 present state of the economy, particularly the housing
8 sector, as well as the overall increase proposed in this
9 filing, now does not appear to be an appropriate time to
10 implement TOU rates for this group of customers. However,
11 the Company will have further discussions with these
12 customers, particularly potlatch, regarding their ability
13 to shift any load requirements between on-peak and off-peak
14 periods and the feasibility of TOU rates for these
15 customers.

Q.Could you please explain what is contained in
19 section 4 of Exhibit No. 15?
20 A.Yes.Schedule 4 of Exhibit 15 is a copy of the
21 Company's present and proposed natural gas tariffs, showing
22 the changes (strikeout and underline) proposed in this
23 filing.
24 Q.Could you please describe what is contained in
25 Schedule 5 of Exhibit No. 15?
Hirschkorn, Di 24
Avista Corporation
1 A.Schedule 5 of Exhibit No. 15 contains the
2 proposed (clean) natural gas tariff sheets incorporating
3 the proposed changes included in this filing.
4 Q.Could you please explain what is contained in
5 Schedule 6 of Exhibit No. 15?
6 A.Yes.Schedule 6 of Exhibit No. 15 contains
7 information regarding the proposed spread of the natural
8 gas revenue increase among the service schedules and the
9 proposed changes to the rates within the schedules. Page 1
10 shows the proposed general revenue and percentage increase
11 by rate schedule. Page 2 shows the rates of return and the
12 relative rates of return for each of the schedules before
13 and after the proposed increases. Page 3 shows the present
14 rates under each of the rate schedules, the proposed

19 Sumry of Natural Gas Rate Schedules and Tariffs
20 Q.Would you please review the Company' s present
21 rate schedules and the types of gas service offered under
22 each?
23
24
A.Yes.The Company's present Schedules 101, 111,
and 121 offer firm sales service.Schedule 101 generally
25 applies to residential and small commercial customers who
Hirschkorn, Di 25
Avista Corporation
1 use less than 200 therms/month.Schedule 111 is generally
2 for customers who consistently use over 200 therms/month
3 and Schedule 121 is generally for customers who use over
4 10,000 therms/month and have a high annual load factor.
5 Schedule 131 provides interruptible sales service to
6 customers whose annual requirements exceed 250,000 therms.
7 Schedule 146 provides transportation/distribution service
8 for customer-owned gas for customers whose annual
9 requirements exceed 250,000 therms.
10 Q.The Company also has rate Schedules 112, 122, and
11 132 on file with the Commission. Could you please explain
12 which customers are eligible for service under these
13 schedules?
14 A.Schedules 112, 122, and 132 are in place to
15 provide service to customers who at one time were provided
16 service under Transportation Service Schedule 146.The
17 rates under these schedules are the same as those under
18 Schedules 111, 121, and 131 respectively, except for the
19 application of Temporary Gas Rate Adjustment Schedule 155.
20 Schedule 155 is a temporary rate adjustment used to
21 amortize the deferred gas costs approved by the Commission
22 in the prior PGA.Because of their size, transportation
23 service customers are analyzed individually to determine
24
25
their appropriate share of deferred gas costs.If those
customers switch back to sales service,the Company

3 deferrals which are not due them, thus the need for
4 Schedules 112, 122, and 132.There are presently only 3
5 customers served under these schedules.
6 Q.How many customers does the Company serve under
7 each of its natural gas rate schedules?

4
A.As part of this filing, the Company is proposing
to eliminate Schedule 121.i will describe this proposal
5 in more detail later in my testimony.
6 Q.Wht informtion did the Company use in
7 developing the proposed spread of the overall increase to
8 the various rate schedules?
9 A.The Company utilized the results of the cost of
10 service study, as sponsored by Witness Knox, as a guide in
11 developing the proposed rate spread.The proposed spread
12 of the overall increase results in a relative rate of
13 return for General Service Schedule 101 and Large General
14 Service Schedule 111 being at or near unity (1.00).The
15 relative rate of return is the rate of return for an
16 individual schedule divided by the overall rate of return
17 for Washington gas operations.
18 Page 2 of Schedule 6 shows the rates of return for
19 each of the Company's gas schedules before and after
20 application of the proposed increases.Colum (d) shows
21 the relative rates of return under present rates and colum
22 (f) shows the relative rates of return under proposed
23 rates.The relative rates of return before and after
24 application of the proposed increases by schedule are as

Schedule 146 :2.02 1. 40
9 Proposed Rate Design
10 Q.Could you please explain the present rate design
11 within each of the Company's present gas service schedules?
12 A.Yes.General Service Schedule 101 generally
13 applies to residential and small commercial customers who
14 use less than 200 therms/month.The Schedule contains a
15 single rate per therm for all gas usage and a monthly
16 customer/basic charge.
17 Large General Service Schedule 111 has a three-tier
18 declining-block rate structure and is generally for
19 customers who consistently use over 200 therms/month. The
20 schedule consists of a monthly minimum charge plus a usage
21 charge for the first 200 therms or less, and block rates
22 for 201-1,000 therms /month and usage over 1,000
23 therms/month.
24 Extra Large General Service Schedule 121 has a four-
25 tier declining-block rate structure with a monthly minimum
Hirschkorn, Di 29
Avista Corporation
1 charge plus a usage charge for the first 500 therms or
2 less, and block rates for the next 500 therms, the next
3 9,000 therms, and usage over 10,000 therms/month. There is
4 also an annual minimum requirement of 60,000 therms under
5 the schedule and a minimum load factor requirement of
6 approximately 58%.
7 Interruptible Sales Service Schedule 131 contains a
8 single rate per therm for all gas usage. The schedule also
9 has an annual minimum (deficiency) charge based on a usage
10 requirement of 250,000 therms per year.
11 Transportation Service Schedule 146 contains a $200
12 per month customer charge and contains a single rate per
13 therm for all gas usage.The schedule also has an annual
14 minimum (deficiency) charge based on a usage requirement of
15 250,000 therms per year.
16 Q.Where in your Exibits do you show the present
17 and proposed rates for the Company's natural gas service
18 schedules?
19 A.Page 3 of Schedule 6 shows the present and
20 proposed rates under each of the rate schedules, including
21 all present rate adjustments (adders).Colum (e) on that
22 page shows the proposed changes to the rates contained in
23 each of the schedules.
24 Q.You stated earlier in your testimony that the
25 Company is proposing an overall increase of 6.5% to the
Hirschkorn, Di 30
Avista Corporation
1 rates of General Service Schedule 101.I s the Company
2 proposing an increase to the present basic/customer charge
3 of $3.28/month under the schedule?
4 A.Yes.The Company is proposing to increase the
5 basic/customer charge from $3.28 to $4.00 per month.
6 Q.What is the level of customer-allocated costs for
7 General Service Schedule 101 in the cost of service study
8 sponsored by witness Knox?
9 A.The level of cus tomer-al loca ted costs for
10 Schedule 101 from the cost of service study is $13.52 per
11 customer per month.
12 Q.What is the proposed increase to the rate per
13 therm under Schedule 101 in order to achieve the total
14 proposed revenue increase for the Schedule?
15 A.The proposed increase to the energy rate under
16 the schedule is 6.438 cents per therm, as shown in colum
17 (e), page 3, Schedule 6 of Exhibit No. 15.
18 Q.What would be the increase in a residential
19 customer's bill with average usage based on the Company's
20 proposed increase for Schedule 101?
21 A.The increase for a residential customer using an
22 average of 65 therms of gas per month would be $4.91 per
23 month, or 6.5%.A bill for 65 therms per month would
24 increase from the present level of $75.14 to a proposed
25 level of $80. as, including all present rate adjustments.
Hirschkorn, Di 31
Avista Corporation
1 Q.You have previously mentioned that the Company is
2 proposing to eliminate Extra Large General Service Schedule
3 121.Could you please explain the rationale for this
4 proposal and under what Schedule those customers would be
5 served if the Commission approves this proposal?
6
7
A.Schedule 121 exists for those customers who
typically use over 10,000 therms per month.The rates
8 under the Schedule are nearly identical to the rates under
9 Large General Service Schedule 111 up to 10,000 therms,
10 with Schedule 121 including an additional block rate for
11 usage in excess of 10,000 therms per month.The Company
12 proposes to eliminate Schedule 121, move those customers to
13 Schedule 111, and add an additional block rate to Schedule
14 111 for usage in excess of 10,000 therms per month.The
15 proposed rate structure for Schedule 111 would then be
16 nearly identical to the existing rate structure under
17 Schedule 121. Existing Schedule 111 customers who use over
18 10,000 therms per month would see a (new) slightly lower
19 rate for usage in excess of that level, which generally
20 makes sense from a cost of service standpoint, as discussed
21 earlier.Schedule 111 customers who use less than 10,000
22 therms per month would not see a change in their present
23 rate structure and, with the additional rate block under
24 Schedule 111, present Schedule 121 customers would be
25 served under a rate structure almost identical to the
Hirschkorn, Di 32
Avista Corporation
1 present Schedule 121 structure.Additionally, the Company
2 will no longer need to monitor Schedule 121 customers for
3 qualification under that Schedule.
4 Q.How many customers are presently served under
5 Schedule 121?
6 A.There are presently only ten customers served
7 under this Schedule.
8 Q.Could you please explain the proposed changes in
9 the rates for Large General Service Schedules 111?
10
11
A.The present rates for Schedules 101 and 111
provide guidance for customer placement:cus tomers who
12 generally use less than 200 therms/month should be placed
13 on Schedule 101, customers who consistently use over 200
14 therms per month should be placed on Schedule 111.Not
15 only do the rates provide guidance for customer schedule
16 placement, they provide a reasonable classification of
17 customers for analyzing the costs of providing service.
18 The proposed increase to the minimum charge for
19 Schedule 111 (for 200 therms or less) of $13.60 per month
20 is the sum of the Schedule 101 customer charge increase of
21 72 cents plus the proposed increase to the Schedule 101
22 rate per therm of 6.438 cents multiplied by 200 therms.
23 This methodology maintains the present relationship between
24 the schedules, and will minimize customer shifting between
25 the Schedules. The remaining proposed revenue increase for
Hirschkorn, Di 33
Avista Corporation
1 Schedule 111 was applied as follows: 3.012 cents per therm
2 increase for 200-1,000 therms/month, 3.914 cents per therm
3 increase for 1,001-10,000 therms/month and 1.792 cents per
4 therm increase for over 10,000 therms/month (new rate block
5 increase based on present rate for this block under
6 Schedule 121).The difference in the increase applied to
7 the block rates results in a more reasonable differential
8 between the proposed block rates compared to the present
9 rates.
10 Q.What would be the average increase for the ten
11 Schedule 121 customers when billed under the proposed
12 Schedule 111 rates.
13 A.The average increase for these customers would be
14 2.7%.
15 Q.What is the resulting per therm increase to
16 Interruptible Service Schedule 131 to recover the proposed
17 increase of $18, OOO?
18 A.The proposed increase to the usage charge is
19 4.239 cents per thermo
20 Q.How is the Company proposing to spread the
21 proposed increase of $4,000 (0.9%) to the rates within
22 Transportation Schedule 146?
23 A.The Company is proposing to increase the per
24 therm charge under the Schedule by 0.104 cents per thermo
25 Q.IS the Company proposing any other changes to its
Hirschkorn, Di 34
