It indicates whether the revenue provided by customers recovers the cost to serve those 5 customers. The study results are used as a guide in determining the appropriate rate spread among 6 the groups of customers. 7 As shown in the flow chart below, there are three basic steps involved in a cost of service 8 study: functionalization, classification,andallocation. 9 First, the expenses and rate base associated with the electric system under study are l0 assigned to functional categories. The FERC uniform system of accounts provides the basic I I segregation into production, transmission, and distribution. Traditionally, customer accounting, 12 customer information, and sales expenses are included in the distribution function, and l3 administrative and general expenses and general plant rate base are allocated to all functions. This 14 study includes a separate functional category for common costs. Administrative and general costs l5 that cannot be directly assigned to the other functions have been placed in this category. 16 Second, the expenses and rate base items that cannot be directly assigned to customer 17 groups are classified into three primary cost components: energy, demand (capacity), or customer- 18 related. Energy-related costs are allocated based on each rate schedule's share of commodity l9 consumption. Demand-related costs are allocated to rate schedules on the basis of each schedule's 20 contribution to peak demand. Customer-related items are allocated to rate schedules based on the 2l number of customers within each schedule. The number of customers may be weighted by 22 appropriate factors such as relative cost of metering equipment. In addition to these three cost 23 components, anyrevenue-related expense is allocated based on the proportion of revenues byrate 24 schedule. o Exhibit No. I I Case No. AVU-E-19-04 T.

These factors are derived from usage and customer information associated with the test period results of operations. BASE CASE COST OF SERVICE STUDY Production Classification (Load Factor Peak Credit) This study utilizes a Peak Credit methodology to classify production costs into demand and energy classifications. The Peak Credit method acknowledges that energy production costs contain both capacity and energy components as they provide energy throughout the year as well as capacity during system peaks. The peak credit ratio (the proportion of total production cost that is capacity related) is determined using the electric system load factor inherent in the test year. The share of production costs attributable to demand is one minus the load factorl which is 39.52%o for the 2018 test year. The same classification ratio is applied to all production costs. Production Allocation Production demand-related costs are allocated to the customer classes by class contribution to the average of the twelve monthly system coincident peak loads. Although the Company is usually a winter peaking utility, it experiences high summer peaks and careful management of capacity requirements is required throughout the year. The use of the average of twelve monthly peaks recognizes that customer capacity needs are not limited to the heating season. Energy- related costs are allocated to class by pro forma annual kilowatt-hour sales adjusted for losses to refl ect generation level consumption. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 o l0 u 12 13 t4 l5 l6 17 l8 t9 2t 20 Exhibit No. I I Case No. AVU-E-19-04 T. Knox, Avista Schedule 2,p.3 of9 o 22 I I - laverage MW- peak MW) I Transmission Classi{ication and Allocation 2 Transmission costs are classified as 100% demand-related due in part to the fact that the : facilities are designed to meet system peak loads. These costs are then allocated to the customer 4 classes by class contribution to the average of the twelve monthly system coincident peak loads 5 (l2CP). The use of the average of twelve monthly peaks recognizes that customer capacity needs 6 are not limited to the heating season. 7 Distribution Facilities Classification (Basic Customer) s The Basic Customer method considers only services and meters and directly assigned Street I Lighting apparatus (FERC Accounts 369, 370, and 373 respectively) to be customer-related l0 distribution plant. All other distribution plant is then considered demand-related. I I Customer Relations Distribution Cost Classification 12 Customer service, customer information and sales expenses are the core of the customer t3 relations functional unit which is included with the distribution cost category. For the most part 14 they are classified as customer-related. Exceptions are sales expenses which are classified as l5 energy-related and uncollectible accounts expense which is considered separately as a revenue l6 conversion item. Demand Side Management expenses (if any) recorded in Account 908 would be 17 considered separately from the other customer information costs. l8 Any demand side management investment and amortization included in base rates would be 19 classified implicitly to demand and energy by the sum of production plant in service, then allocated 20 to rate schedules by coincident peak demand and energy consumption, respectively. At this point 21 in time, the Company's demand side management investments in base rates have been fully 22 amortized except for some minor outstanding loan balances that will remain on the books until 23 satisfied. All current demand side management costs are managed through the Schedule 91 Public 24 Purpose Tariff Rider balancing account which is not included in this cost study. o o o Exhibit No. I I Case No. AVU-E-19-04 T. Knox, Avista Schedule 2,p.4 of9 o Distribution Cost Allocation Distribution demand-related costs, which cannot be directly assigned, are allocated to customer class by the average of the twelve monthly non-coincident peaks for each class. Distribution facilities that serve only secondary voltage customers are either allocated by the non- coincident peaks of secondary voltage customers (excludes demand from customers receiving service at primary voltage)2, or by the average number of secondary voltage customers. This includes secondary voltage overhead or underground conductors and devices, line transforrners, and service lines to the customer's premises. The costs of specific substations and related primary voltage distribution facilities are directly assigned to Extra Large General Service customers (Schedule 25 and 25P) based on their load ratio share of the substation capacity from which they 2 J 4 5 7 8 9 6 o l0 12 l3 14 t5 t6 t7 l8 t9 21 I I receive service Most customer costs are allocated by average number of customers. Weighted customer allocators have been developed using typical current cost of meters, estimated meter reading time, and direct assignment of billing costs for hand-billed customers. Street and area light customers (Schedules 41 - 49) are excluded from metering and meter reading expenses as their service is not metered. Administrative and General Costs Administrative and general costs which are directly associated with production, transmission, distribution, or customer relations functions are directly assigned to those functions and allocated to customer class by the relevant plant or number of customers. The remainder of administrative and general costs are considered common costs, and have been left in their own functional category. These common costs are classified by the implicit relationship of energy, 2 Customers taking service below I I kV are secondary voltage customers, customers taking service at greater than I I kV are primary voltage customers.

The four-factor allocator 2 consists of a 25Yo weighting of each of the following: 1) operating & maintenance expenses 3 excluding resource costs, labor expenses, and administrative and general expenses; 2) operating 4 and maintenance labor expenses excluding administrative and general labor expenses; 3) net 5 production, transmission, and distribution plant; and 4) number of customers. 6 Revenue Conversion Items 7 In this study, uncollectible accounts and commission fees have been classified as revenue- 8 related and are allocated by pro forma revenue. These items vary with revenue and are included in 9 the calculation of the revenue conversion factor. Income tax expense items are allocated to l0 schedules by net income before income tax adjusted by interest expense. ll Forthe functional summaries on pages 2 and3 of the cost of service study, these items are 12 assigned to component cost categories. The revenue-related expense items have been reduced to a l3 percent of all other costs and loaded onto each cost category by that ratio. Similarly, income tax 14 items have been reduced to a percent of net income before tax then assigned to cost categories by l5 relative rate base (as is net income). 16 The following matrix outlines the methodology applied in the Company Base Case cost of 17 service study. o o o Exhibit No. I I Case No. AVU-E-19-04 T.
