NOTICE OF LIVE-STREAMED
PUBLIC WORKSHOP

On February 28, 2020, Avista Corporation (“Avista”) filed its amended 2019/2020
Electric Integrated Resource Plan (“2020 Electric IRP”).
On March 25, 2020, the Commission issued a Notice of 2020 Electric Integrated
Resource Plan and Notice of Intervention Deadline. Order No. 34609. Idaho Conservation League
(“ICL”), Avista, and Commission Staff are parties to the case.
On May 13, 2020, the Commission issued a Notice of Modified Procedure establishing
comment and reply comment deadlines.
BACKGROUND
The Integrated Resource Plan (“IRP”) is a biennial status report on the utility’s ongoing
and evolving plans to adequately and reliably serve its customers at the lowest system cost and
least risk over the next 20 years. Avista develops its IRP through a public process involving
customers, Commission Staff, the Northwest Power and Conservation Council, consumer
advocates, academics, environmental groups, utility peers, government agencies and other
interested parties. Avista submits its IRP to the Commission for acknowledgment. Commission
acknowledgment of the IRP does not mean the Commission approves of any specific conclusions
or results in the Company’s IRP but rather acknowledges that the Company has adequately
addressed the matters required by the Commission’s prior orders. See Order Nos. 22299, 25260.
