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 29,2021, and if the requested
changes are approved, they would go into effect on May 15,2021.
The changes include updating the standard or basic development costs and allowance to reflect actual
2020 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 no longer make a non-refundable
payment. Developers would only need to provide a letter of credit, or cash deposit, for $1,350 per
residence until such time as a pennanent hookup is made.
The Company's applications are proposals, subject to public review and a Commission decision.
