Dear Builder and/or Developer:
Avista Utilities is proud to have supplied your projects with natural gas and electric service, as well as
quality construction coordination, of your utility needs for many years. As you may know, in the spring
of each year, the Company files a request with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission ("Commission")
to update the costs associated with the materials required to provide our electric service for individual
homes and new developments.
The Company filed its proposed changes with the Commission on March 9,2020, and if the requested
changes are approved, they would go into effect on July I,2020.
The changes include updating the standard or basic development costs and allowance to reflect actual
2019 material and labor costs. Below is a summary of the changes included in the filing:

The proposed change in the cost per lot would require builders to make a non-refundable payment ot
$3 8. Developers would only need to provide a letter of credit, or cash deposit, for $ I ,460 per residence
until such time as a permanent hookup is made. Please keep in mind that these new costs and allowance
affect only new developments or additional phases contracted on or after July 1, 2020. The Company's
application is a proposal, subject to public review and a Commission decision. A copy of the application
is available for public review at the offices of both the Commission and the Company as well as their
respective websites (www. myavista.com/rates or www idaho.If you would like to submit
