RE: Case No. qtSAE/?[?f hv[*e-li'tD
Dear Ms. Jewell:
Pursuant to Commission Order No. 32697, Avista Corporation, doing business as Avista Utilities
(hereinafter Avista or Company), respectfully provides an update of its capacrty and energy
positions with new load forecasts and resources to be utilized in the SAR Methodology for
determining avoided cost rates.
Attached for filing with the Commission is an update to the Company's 2013 Integrated
Resource Plan's (IRP) Loads and Resources, taking into account a new load forecast and new
long-term contracts. Through its 2013 Electric IRP process, Avista had identified a long term
capacity deficit beginning in January 2020, summer deficits began in2024, and energy deficits
began in 2026 (Case No. AVU-E -13-07,2013 Electric IRP, pages 2-34 through 2-41). Short-
term deficits occur before these dates; however this deficit will be met with short-term market
purchases as described in the 2013 IRP.
Based on the updated load forecast, the Company's net positions have changed. Winter deficits
continue to begin in January 2020, however summer deficits begin in 2023, and energy deficits
begin in 2027.
Please direct any questions regarding this report to James Gall at 509-495-2189.
Sincerely,
/t{Lt$d^q,Ge,nta,t*
