NEWS RELEASE: Avista Utilities files annual power cost adjustment application.

BOISE (Aug. 18, 2023) – Written comments are being accepted on an Avista Utilities
application seeking approval of its annual power cost adjustment.

If approved by the Idaho Public Utilities Commission, the average residential electric customer’s
monthly bill would increase by $3.23, or 3.8 percent.

The utility’s power cost adjustment tracks revenue and cost changes associated with variations in
hydroelectric generation, secondary prices, thermal fuel costs and changes in power contract
revenues and expenses.
