RE: Case No. AVU-E-21-02 – Application For Extension Of Service Territory Agreement With
Kootenai Electric - Second Quarter 2021 Update

Dear Ms. Noriyuki:

In Order No. 34924, the Idaho Public Utilities Commission approved Amendment No. 2 to the
Service Territory Agreement between Avista and Kootenai Electric Cooperative, Inc (KEC). As
a part of that Order, the Commission stated the following:

To ensure that the parties diligently pursue a new service territory agreement, we
direct the Company to provide the Commission with quarterly updates on progress
and notify the Commission by October 1, 2021 if a new service territory agreement
will be finalized.

In summary, our talks have generally concluded, and final edits to a new agreement are being
wrapped up. It is Avista’s expectation that the new agreement will be signed in early July, and
will then be filed with the Commission for approval.

Please direct any questions regarding this filing to me at 509-495-8620 or
[e-mail].

Sincerely,

/s/ Patrick Ehrbar

Patrick Ehrbar
Director of Regulatory Affairs
