I. INTRODUCTION
A vista Corporation, doing business as A vista Utilities (hereinafter Avista or
Company), at 1411 East Mission Avenue, Spokane, Washington, respectfully requests
approval of a decrease to Schedule 91 and 191 rates ("Energy Effciency Rider
Adjustment"), also known as the "public purose tariff rider."
The Company intends to make this filing on a perodic basis to revise the Demand
Side Management (DSM) portions of Schedules 91 and 191 ("Energy Efficiency Rider
Adjustment"). The purose of this filing is to establish tariff riders that are sufficient to
fund the following twelve months of DSM as well as amortize any tarff rider imbalance,
thus minimizing the amount of future under- or over-collections. In this filing, A vista
proposes to reduce biled electrc rates by 0.3% through proposed revisions in Schedule
91 and to reduce biled natural gas rates by 4.2% through proposed revisions in Schedule
191.
The Company requests that this filing be processed under the Commission's
Modified Procedure rules.
Communications in reference to this Application should be addressed to:

II. BACKGROUND
The Company's energy efficiency targets are established in the process of
developing its electrc and natual gas Integrated Resource Plans (IRs). In 2010,
approximately 34 people (23 Full Time Equivalents (PTE)) delivered energy effciency
programs and measures resulting in electrc savings of 68,911 MW (or 105% of the IR
goal) and natural gas savings of 1.9 milion therms (or 85% of the IR goal).
Approximately 77% of the energy efficiency budget was provided to paricipating
customers as rebates (residential) and financial incentives (commercial and industral).
This does not include additional benefits such as site audits and technical analyses
provided to customers by the Company's DSM engineering staff.
The revenue expected to be generated by the schedule 91 and 191 surcharges, at
their present levels, would exceed the requirements necessar to fund the DSM task
during the next twelve month cycle, including adjustments for the disposition of tarff
rider imbalances. As of the close of April 2011, Avista's Idaho electrc DSM tarff rider
balance is $723,240 (Company owes ratepayer) and the Idaho natual gas DSM tarff
rider balance is $897,808 (Company owes ratepayer).
Schedules 91 and 191 fud DSM programs described in Schedules 90 and 190.
All Schedule 91 and 191 DSM revenue is applied only to the provision of electrc and
natural gas efficiency service including programs offered by the Company directly,
through designated contractors, or as par of regional electrc and natual gas effciency
programs, including evaluation, measurement and verfication (EM&V). These programs
include, but are not limited to, the following:
Application of A vista Corporation Page 2
. Appliance measures
. Compressed air measures
. HV AC measures
. Industral measures
. Lighting measures
. Maintenance measures
. Motor measures
. Shell measures
. Sustainable Building measures
. Northwest Energy Effciency Alliance paricipation
The Company's programs are based on providing a financial incentive, or "rebate," for
cost-effective efficiency measures with a simple payback of greater than one year and up
to thirteen years (eight years for lighting measures due to their shorter measure life). This
includes over 300 measures that are packaged into over 30 programs for customer
convenience.
A vista has long encouraged the direct-use of natual gas by its electrc customers.
As an electrc energy effciency program, the Company is continuing this effort with
residential rebates for the conversion of electrc to natural gas space and water heat loads,
as well as a broad program for any non-residential electric-to-natual gas conversions
meeting specified criteria for relative British Thermal Unit (BTU efficiency. The cost-
effective potential for these measures has been incorporated into Avista's Integrated
Resource Planning effort and are contained within the identified acquisition goal.
Avista's residential programs include high efficiency equipment, electrc to natual gas
conversions, Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFLs), "second" refrgerator recycling,
weatherization, rooftop chimney dampers as well as providing educational assistance
though various communty events.
For non-residential customers, in addition to prescriptive (or "standard offer")
programs, A vista offers site specific (or customized) serces. The site specific program
Application of A vista Corporation Page 3
provides incentives on any cost-effective commercial and industral energy efficiency
measure with a simple financial payback exceeding one year, and up to thirteen years
(eight years for lighting measures). This is implemented through site analyses,
customized diagnoses, and incentives determined for savings generated specific to
customers' premises or process. In addition to the site specific offering, commercial and
industral programs available to A vista customers include lighting and controls,
commercial food service equipment, premium effciency motors, power management for
personal computer (PC) networks, commercial HV AC varable frequency drives (VFDs),
refrgerated warehouses, vending machine controllers, demand controlled ventilation,
side-stream filtration, steamtrap replacement and repair, multifamily development,
electrc-to-natual gas water heater conversions, and commercial clothes washers.
In addition to Avista's prescriptive and site-specific programs, the Company
fuds the activities of the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEA). NEEA focuses
on using a regional approach to obtain electrc efficiency through the transformation of
markets for efficiency measures and servces. An example of NEE A-sponsored programs
that benefits Avista customers is decreasing the cost of CFLs and high-efficiency
appliances by working though manufactuers. For some measures, a large-scale, cross-
utility approach is the most cost-effective means to achieve energy effciency savings.
Ths approach is paricularly effective for markets composed of large numbers of smaller
usage homogeneous consumers, such as the residential and small commercial markets.
Historically, Avista has received approximately 1.5 to 2 aM of savings in its serice
terrtory from NEEA programs.
Application of A vista Corporation Page 4
The Company provided approximately $465,000 for low-income weatherization
in 2010 and an additional $25,000 for conservation education in Idaho. Ths program is
administered by the local community action agencies in our Idaho service terrtory.
The aggregated Tarff Riders (Idaho and Washington, electrc and natural gas)
have been retued to a "zero balance". Because customer demand for our energy
efficiency services had outstrpped our taff rider funding, at the beginnng of 2010 the
tarff riders were underfded by $11.9 milion (i.e., the Company had "pre-funded"
energy efficiency services in advance of receiving tarff rider fuding). In the past year,
however, increases to the tarff riders have allowed for adequate revenue to both fud
current energy efficiency operations and to reduce the underded balance to the point
where the balances need to be adjusted through a decrease in the tarff rates.
III. EVALUATION, MEASURMENT AND VERIFCATION
Current analyses of DSM are much more refined than almost two decades ago.
The Company has been responsive to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOD) dated
Januar 25,2010 between the Company and the Idaho Commission Staff, addressing the
evaluation, measurement and verification (EM&V) of DSM activities. Toward that end,
Avista has engaged The Cadmus Group to perform independent evaluation at a system
cost approaching $1 milion.
Several metrcs are applied to determine the costs and benefits of these programs.
The primar cost-effectiveness test is the Total Resource Cost (TRC) test; the Program
Administrator Cost (PAC) is another key determinant of program efficacy.
1 Ratios over
i The Total Resource Cost Test measures the net costs of a demand-side management program as a reource option
based on the total costs of the program, including both the paricipants' and the utilty's costs. The Program
Administrator Cost Test measures the net costs of a demand-side management program as a resource option based on
the costs incurred by the progr administrtor (including incentive costs) and excluding any net costs incurred by the
paricipant. The benefits are similar to the TRC benefits. Costs are defined more narowly.
Application of A vista Corporation Page 5
1.0 ilustrate that benefits exceed costs. For 2010, the Company's DSM portfolios' were
cost-effective with TRC and PAC ratios of 2.33 and 5.02, respectively, for its electrc
portfolio, and 1.62 and 3.60, respectively, for its natural gas portfolio.
iv. STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT
The Company has regularly convened stakeholder meetings to gain input from
customer representatives, Commission staff members, and individuals from the
environmental communities2. These stakeholder meetings review the Company's
program offerings as well as the underlying cost-effectiveness tests and results. The
Company continues to appreciate the time and input provided by its stakeholders.
V. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL
In conclusion, Avista respectfully requests the Commission approve the proposed
reduction in rates and charges to its tariff Schedule 91 and 191. The estimated anual
revenue change associated with this filing is approximately a decrease of $750,000 for
electrc Schedule 91, or a decrease of 0.3% of biled rates, and a decrease of $2.9 milion
for natural gas Schedule 191, or a decrease of 4.2% of biled rates. The proposed rate
decrease wil have an average monthly bil impact to electrc residential customers using
964 kWhs of $0.06. The proposed natural gas rate decrease wil have an average monthly
bil impact to residential customers using 70 therms of$2.68.
VI. CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
Notice to the public of the proposed rates and charges, pursuant to IDAP A
31.21.02.102, wil be given simultaneously with the filing, by posting a notice at each of
the Company's district offces in Idaho, which is attached as Attachment A. Notice of

Allance, Northwest Power and Planning Counsel, and Nortwest Industral Ga User.
Application of A vista Corporation Page 6
proposed rates wil also be given to all Idaho customers by individual bil insert as
required by rule. The proposed effective date is July 18, 2011.
VII. CONCLUSION
WHREFORE, Applicant respectfully requests the Commission issue its
Order finding the proposed rates and charges in Schedules 91 and 191 attached to this
Application as Attachment B to be fair, just, reasonable and nondiscriminatory, and
effective for electrc and natual gas service rendered on and after August 1, 2011, with
this application being processed under Modified Procedure.
