Avista Requests Recovery in Washington and Idaho for Increasing
Energy and System Upgrade Costs
SPOKANE, Wash. - March 23, 2010,1:05 p.m. PDT: Increases in the cost of producing and
delivering energy, as well as on-going capital investments to upgrade aging infrastructure are
drivers in requests Avista (NYSE: AVA) filed today with the Washington Utilities and Transportation
Commission (WUTC) and the Idaho Public Utiities Commission (I PUC) to increase electric and
natural gas rates for customers. The WUTC has up to 11 months and the IPUC has up to seven
months to review the respective filngs.
"These requests seek recovery of investments we've made in our system to continue providing
safe, reliable energy to customers," said Avista Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
Scott L. Morris. "We remain focused on managing our costs as we continue making significant
investments in upgrading our aging infrastructure, complying with an increasing number of
mandates, upgrading our hydroelectric facilities and acquiring additional cost-effective energy for
our çustomers."
Included in the rate filings are power supply costs, or the cost of generating and purchasing power
to serve customers, which continue to increase year-over-year partly because of expiring long-
term, low-cost power contracts. Also included in the filng are power supply costs associated with
adding the 275 megawatt Lancaster combined-cycle combustion turbine into Avista's generation
mix. Power from new generation and power purchased in today's market to replace the expiring
contracts is significantly more expensive than the amount currently included in customer rates.
Avista continues to invest about $200 milion annually in upgrades to its aging infrastructure, such
as generation facilties, power lines, poles and substations - some of which have been serving
customers for more than 70 years. In addition to ensuring reliability, the upgrades are necessary to
meet customer growth and increased customer demand, as well as compliance mandates such as
the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which requires Avista to continually invest in its transmission system
to meet more stringent reliability requirements.
Also included in infrastructure costs are continuing upgrades to each of the four 1950s-era turbines
at Avista's Noxon Rapids hydroelectric project in Montana and upgrades to some of the recently
relicensed Spokane River hydroelectric projects. These upgrades will increase the amount of
clean, renewable power available to serve customers. In Washington, the upgrades wil count as
new renewable energy under the state's renewable portolio standards law.
Increases in distribution operation and maintenance costs, as well as administrative and general
expenses primarily for technology services, are also included in the filing.
A component of the requested natural gas increase in both states is Avista's investment in
additional capacity at the Jackson Prairie Storage facility located in Chehalis, Wash. The additional
3,030,887 dekatherms (Dth) of storage capacity will generally allow Avista to purchase lower-
priced natural gas to serve customers during times when market prices increase. These benefits
will flow through to customers in the annual Purchased Gas Cost Adjustments (PGA).
Videos and photos on Avista's power supply costs and some capital projects included in the rate
filings are available at ww.avistautiities.com. along with additional information on how proposed
rate changes are processed.
Washington Filngs
Avista is requesting an overall electric rate increase in Washington of 13.4 percent and an overall
6.0 percent increase in natural gas rates.
The requests would produce $55.3 milion, or 13.4 percent, in additional biled revenue for electric
, service and $8.5 milion, or 6.0 percent, in additional biled revenue for natural gas service. The
request is based on a proposed rate of return on rate base of 8.33 percent, with a common equity
ratio of 48.39 percent and a 10.9 percent return on equity.
If the requests are approved, a residential customer using an average 1,000 kilowatt hours per
month would see a $10.62 per month increase, or 14.8 percent, for a revised monthly bill of
$82.41. A natural gas customer using an average of 69 therms per month would see a $4.00
increase, or 6.8 percent, for a revised monthly bill of $62.79.
Avista serves more than 234,000 electric and nearly 147,000 natural gas customers in
Washington.
Idaho Filngs
In Idaho, Avista is requesting an overall electric rate increase of 13.1 percerit and an overall 4.1
percent increase in natural gas rates.
The requests would produce $32.1 milion, or 13.1 percent, in additional billed revenue for electric
service and $2.6 million, or 4.1 percent, in additional billed revenue for natural gas service. The
request is based on a proposed rate of return on rate base of 8.55 percent, with a common equity
ratio of 50 percent and a 10.9 percent return on equity.
If the requests are approved, a residential customer using an average 964 kilowatt hours per
month would see a $11.40 per month increase, or 14.6 percent, for a revised monthly bil of
$89.35. A natural gas customer using an average of 63 therms per month would see a $2.77
increase, or 4.9 percent, for a revised monthly bill of $58.80.
Avista serves more than 122,000 electric and 74,000 natural gas customers in Idaho.
Customer Assistance
'We know that a price increase can be challenging for customers. That's why we continue to offer
energy efficiency programs to help customers manage their energy use and to support energy
assistance programs that help our customers most impacted by rising energy prices," Morris said.
Avista offers a variety of energy efficiency programs for residential, limited income, commercial and
industrial customers. In addition to helping customers manage their energy use, the programs also
help reduce the amount of future, more costly energy resources needed to meet customer
demand. For over 30 years, Avista has offered programs which have provided a cumulative
savings of over 147 average megawatts (aMW) - a significant savings when compared with
Avista's current load of approximately 1,100 aMW.
In addition to support for energy assistance programs, Avista also offers services for customers in
both states such as comfort level billing, payment arrangements and Customer Assistance Referral
and Evaluation Services (CARES), which provide assistance to special-needs customers through
referrals to area agencies and churches for help with housing, utilities, medical assistance and
other needs.
