Please describe your comment briefly:
This comment pertains to Avista i s proposed 14.5% electric rate increase for residential
customers. Avista i s residential electricity rates have gone up 30% in the past four years
(Nov. 2005 - Nov. 2009). During the same period, though they cite the increasing costs of
providing electricty, Avista has posted record profits . Profits are what you have left after
deducting whatever increasing costs there may be. Therefore, it seems ludicrous that. Avista
should further increase their profit margin, while making to difficult, if not impossible,
for their customers to heat and light their homes. Please assist Idaho electric customers by
denying Avista i s proposed rate increase.

Please describe your comment briefly:
With the price of natural gas at the lowest level in years and electricity cost stable, I
believe such an incredibly high rate increase in one step is a good example of a utility with
bad management. I realize that they are based on a percentage of there operating cost but
spending with little limits and control is not an excuse for rate increases of such a
resource with no competition. I personally think a rate increase percentage maximum should be
set to control over spending. After all, the REA utilities have a little advantage but seem
to control cost much better than Avista. If it wasn' t Avista it would be another large
corporation trying the same thing. A rate ceiling might force them to get their house in
order. Thank You.
