proposed comprehensive settlement in this case and explain
Staff's support..
O. Please summarj-ze your testimony.
A. Based on Staff's review of the Company's
application, detailed identification of revenue requirement
adjustments, and thoughtful assessment of litigation and
settlement alternatives, Staff bel-ieves that the proposed
Stipulated Settlement (Settlement; Stipulation) is in t.he
public interest, is fair, just and reasonable and should be
approved by the Commission.
The two-year rate plan will increase base electric
and gas revenues by $12.9 million (5.22) and $1.2 million
(2.9*), respectively, on January 1, 20A8, and $4.5 mil-lion
(1.9%) and $1.1 million (2.72), respectively, on January a,
20l-9. The Settlement includes a two-year rate case stay-out
provisi-on, and provides a reasonable balance between the
Company's opport.unity to earn a return and affordable rates
for customers. Staff support.s the proposed 9.52 return on
equity (ROE) and malntalns that, the class all-ocatj-on proposed
in the Settlement properly addresses cost of service concerns
raj-se by the various parties by equitably distributing the
increased costs based on cost causation. Staff further
believes that additional cost of service discussion is
warranted and supports the stipulated provision to have such
discussions.

The proposed rate design includes a 25 cent per
month customer charge increase for residential and small-
general service el-ectrj-c customers and a $0.75 per month
customer charge increase for natural gas customers. Staff
believes this properly spreads the j-ncrease between fixed and
commodity charges.
Fina11y, Staff supports further investigat.ion of
low income weatherization funding by agreeing to evaluate
existing programs and funding Ievels and submit a funding
proposal to t.he Commission by December 31, 20L7.
Staff maintains that the Stipulated Sett.lement
signed by five of t.he seven parties to the case was arrived
at. through hard bargaining during the settlement conference,
the result of compromise by all parties and it should be
approved wit,hout change by the Commission. The Stipulated
Settlement is attached as Staff Exhibit 101.

Background
O. Could you please provide a Iittle background on
Avista's original filing?
A. Yes. The Company filed its applj-cation on ,June 9,
20L7 requestj-ng a two-year rate plan for both electric and
natural gas service. The Company proposed t.hat electric base
revenues increase by $18.5 million or 7.52 on .Tanuary L, 2Ol8
and $9.9 million or 3.72 on January 1-, 20L9. The Company
proposed that natural gas base revenues increase by $3.5
million or 8.8? on,January l, 20t.8, and $2.1 million or 5.0?
on January 1, 2019. The Company recommended a 7.81-2 overall
rate of return and a 9.9* ROE.
The Company proposed a 15? move toward cost of
service for the varj-ous electric customer classes in year one
and a prorated revenue increase for each electrj-c service
schedule in year two. Gas service schedules were proposed to
move approximately one third toward cost of service in year
one with revenues spread to each customer class on a prorat,ed
basis in year two.
O. How was the case processed after t.he Company's
fJ-Iing was received?
A. The Commj-ssion issued a notice of filing and
granted intervenor status to Clearwater Paper Company, the
Community Action Partnership Association of Idaho (CAPAI),

partJ-es except the Sierra CIub and ICL and the Motion to
Approve the Stipulation and Settlement was filed with the
Commission on October 20, 2017.
Stipulation Overview
O. Would you please describe the terms of the
Settlement Agreement,?
A. Yes. The Settlement provides a two year rate plan
for both el-ectric and natural gas service with a two-year
rate case stay-out. Under the terms of the agreement, the
Company will receive a $12.9 million or 5.22 electric revenue
increase effective 'January l, 201-8 and a $4.5 mil-lion or 7.92

parties agreed to a 9.52 ROE with a 50? common equity ratio
for an overall return of 7 .612.
Key adjustments Eo the first year electric and gas
revenue requirement request include a reduction in the
Company's requested ROE, a reduct.ion or delay in capital
recovery, and removal or delay in a variety of miscellaneous
Iabor, inspection, environmental, 1egaI, damages and O&M
expenses. The Stipulation also specifies a weather
normalization adjustment that increases test year natural gas
consumption.
The second year electric and natural gas revenue
requirement increase al1ows recovery of capital investment
not. allowed recovery in year one, targeted capital additions
in 2018 using average of monthly average rate base
methodology and known expense increase for 1abor, property
taxes and equipment inspection.
O. What terms are included in the Stipulation for cost
of service and rate design?
A. The Stipulation accepts the Company's originally
proposed 15 percent first. year move toward electric cost of
service for al1 customer classes except Schedule 25 and 25P
which would receive 75vo of the overall percentage increase.
Likewise, the Stipulation adopts the Company's proposed
uniform electric revenue increase for al-l- classes in year
two.

The Stipulation also adopts the Company's
originally proposed natural gas revenue allocation of a 30?
move toward cost of service in year one and a uniform
increase in year two. The Stipulation does not adopt any
specific cost of service study methodology for either
electric or natural gas service.
With respect to rate design, the Stipulation
specif ies a $0.25 mont,hly increase in electric resident,ial
and smal1 commercial customer charges in year one. Natural
gas cusLomers will see a $0.75 monthly increase in cusLomer
charges i-n year one as wel-I. The remainder of the revenue
requirement j-ncrease in year one and in year two for both
electric and gas service is collected t.hrough Company
proposed increases in demand charges and a uniform increase
in commodity charges.
O. What, other terms are included in the Stipulation?
A. The Stipulation specifies t.hat interested parties
will convene a workshop to discuss cost of service issues and
meet t.o establish appropriate funding Ievels for low j-ncome
weatherization. The Stipulation also specifies that
interested parties will confer on natural gas service and
meter placement ru1es. The Company also commits as part of
the St.ipulation to establish service quality/performance
measures in Idaho similar to those currently in place in
Washingt.on.

Staff Investigation
O. Could you please describe Staff's investigat.ion
leading up to the settlement conference?
A. Yes. Staff's approach prior to the settlement
conference was to extensively review the Company's filing,
identify adjustments to its revenue requirement request and
prepare to file testimony for a fuIIy-litigated proceeding.
Three Staff auditors were assigned to t,he case and
actually began reviewing 201,5 results of operations before
t.he Company f iled its Application in ,fune of 201"7. Af ter the
filing, the auditors reviewed the capital budgets, capit.al
spending trends, O&M expenses and trends, and verified all of
the Company's calculations and assumptions with regards to
the overall revenue requirement. The auditors spent two
weeks on-site at Avista's corporate headquarters in Spokane,
reviewing over 100,000 transactions, selected samples and
performed t.ransact,ion testing in accordance with standard
audit practices. The auditors reviewed the Company's labor
expense, incentive p1ans, and employee benefits including
heal-th insurance and retirement to insure an appropriat.e
l-evel of expendit.ure.
Thirteen other technical staff consisting of
engineers, utility analyst, and consumer investigators were
al-so assigned to the case and submitted over 110 production
requests as part of its comprehensive investigation. Staff

reviewed both completed and proposed Company investments,
evaluated expenditures including pensj-ons, salaries, and
operation and maint.enance, investigated power supply
modellj-ng, weather normalization, cl-ass cost of service
methodologies and compared rate design alternatives for both
el-ectric and natural gas service.
Given the Company's two-year rate proposal, Staff
also evafuated the merits of using forecasted or budgeted
expenses and j-nvestment to set test year annual revenue
requirement rather than using an historic test period.
O. What type of adjustments to the Company's proposed
electric revenue requirement did Staff identify?
A. Staff focused on adjustments in four primary areasi
1) rate of return; 2) 2017/201,8 capital investment and O&M
expenses; 3) salaries; and 4) miscellaneous test year
expenses. St.aff identified 28 individual electric revenue
requirement adjustments totaling approximately $9 million or
49* of the Company's original electric revenue requirement
request.
Staff applied many of the adjustments on the
electric side to the requested revenue requirement increase
for natural gas. St.aff also identified a gas adjustment
associated wit.h weather normalization. Staff's natural gas
adjustments totaled approximately $3 million or approximately
8'7eo of the Company's original request.

O. How did Staff evaluate the second year revenue
requi-rement request?
A. Staff reviewed the capital and expense
budget/forecast for 2018 and 2019 as proposed for the second
year of the Company's proposed two-year rate p1an. For the
second year of the rate p1an, Staff eliminat.ed all of the
capital additions budgeted for 20L9 and mosL of the proposed
additions j-n 20L8. Staff also removed the requested 20L9
salary increases. The Staff proposed adjustments decreased
t,he Company proposed electric j-ncrease by approximately $8
million or 8l-?. Lj-kewise, Staf f adjustments reduced the
Company proposed natural gas increase by approximately $1.9
million or 892 for the second year.
O. How did Staff evaluate other aspects of the
Company's proposal?
A. Staff spent considerable time evaluating power
supply expenses, weather normalization, class cost of service
methodology and rate design by comparing expenses, rates and
methodology to those proposed by t.he Company in the last
general rate case. Other than the weather normal-ization
adjustment that increases test. year gas consumption, St.aff
identified no other adjust.ment or modificat.ion to rates or
methodology.

A. Yes, the Settlement workshop was held on
Sept.ember 29, 2017, wit.h all part.ies except the Sierra Club
in attendance. Negotiat,ions began with each intervening
party ident.lfying their j-ssues of concern and what t.hey
expected to achieve through settlement or litigation. Issues
raised included cost of service, 1ow income weatherization
funding, rate case stay-outs and issues related to Avj-sta's
ColsErip generating station.
Staff then presented its investigative results with
a step by step discussion of each of the 29 first year
ident,ified revenue requirement adjust.ments. The presentatj-on
included rational for each adjustment and a proposal for the
second year of the rate pIan. Staff also provided a proposal
for gas service ru1es, a proposal- for electric service
standards and a statement of support for Company proposed
cost of service and rate design positions.
After a lengthy discussion of the various revenue
requirement adjustments and identified issues, the Company
developed a count,er proposal and presented it to the parties
for discussion. Staff evaluated the Company proposal based
on previous dj-scussion and an assessment of how successfully
an adjustment might be defended at hearing. Staff then
developed and presented a counter proposal. The parties
conLinued to negotiate on individual adjustments and what
revenue should reasonably be colIect. in the first. and second

year of a rate p1an. The parties ultimately reached
compromi-se and settled on a tentative agreement.
O. Was that the end of settlement negotiations?
A. No. Additional conference calls and email
discussion continued on cost of servj-ce details, Lerms of a
rate case stay-out, 1ow j-ncome weatherization funding, and
costs associated with the Colstrip coal fired generating
p1ant. The Stipulated Settlement was then filed with the
Commission on October 20, 2017.
A. Was settlement reached by all parties on all
issues?
A. No. The part.ies could not reach agreement on
issues relating to Colstrip. Consequently, neither ICL nor
Sierra Club are part.ies to the Settlement.
Settlement Evaluation
O. How did Staff determine that the overall Settlement
was reasonable?
A. In every settlement evaluation, Staff and other
parties must det.ermine if the agreement is a better overall
outcome than could be expected at hearing. SLaff looked at
each revenue requirement adjustment for both electric and
natural gas service and determined that the overall agreement
for a two-year rate plan with stay-out provisj-ons was as good
as or bet.ter than what could be achieved through litigation
this year and next. Other parties, made up of customer

groups and 1ow j-ncome representatives agreed with Staff in
support of t,he Settlement.
In addition, Staff evaluat.ed t.his case by
identifying the issues that have driven the last several rate
filings. In those cases and this one, capital investment is
t.he prj-mary driver of increased revenue requirement requests.
While the increase proposed for year one is somewhat higher
than annual elect.ric increases of the past, Staff maintains
that the overall increase of 7 .L* and 5.5? for electric and
gas service, respectively, over a two year period is
reasonable. These capital driven increases are approximately
632 of t,he Company's electric service request and
approximately 47* of the Company's natural gas service
request.
Revenue Requirement
O. Please explain why Staff believes the 9.5* Ret.urn
on Equity and capital structure with 50? equity and 50? debt
are reasonable.
A. The Stipulat,ion reflects a ROE of 9.5+ based on a
capital structure of 50? equity and 50? debt. Staff believes
a 5OZ/50e" capital structure is represent.at.ive of Avista's
actual equity ratio of 49.92 as of December 31, 2016, and as
projected at December 31, 20L7. Staff maintains t.hat the
9. 5? ROE is consi-stent with the most. recent Commissi-on Order

Company. It also is consistent with authorized returns
granted for electric and gas utilities operating in the
Northwest. The 9.52 ROE a1Iows Avista to maintain its
financial viability so it might attract new capital from the
market to fund new capital investments and refinance maturing
debt i-ssuances.
O. Could you please describe Staff's other proposed
revenue requirement adjustments?
A. Yes. Besides the adjustment for ROE, Staff
identified 28 other individual adjustments that reduced first
year revenue requirement by approximately $6.4 million or 40%
of the Company's request. These adjustments included
elimination of 2018 proforma expense increases, reduction or
elimination of improper test. year expenses and
reduction/eliminatj-on of test year capital additions.
Staff's proforma expense adjustments tot.aling about $2
million included a 2018 property tax increase, 201-8 salary
increases, and budgeted expense for underground equi-pment
inspection. Improper test year expenses totaling about $1.8
mill-ion incl-uded adjustments to executive pay, advertisj-ng,
1ega1 , environmental , and O&M expenses . Capit.al adj ustment.s
tot.aling approximately $3.1 million in revenue requirement
included removal of meter data management, prepaid pensions,
website investment, Tech Refresh, and Tech Expansion. These
adjustments, when combined with reduced ROE reduces the

requested first year increase by about 489<.
With the exception of the weather normalizing
adjustment., Staff's proposed adjustments to nat.ural gas
revenue requirement in the first year were an allocated
portion of the adjustments proposed on the electric side.
Weather normalization reduced the required revenue increase
by about $1.17 million and when combined with the other
adjustments decrease the Company's proposed increase by
approximat.ely $3 mj-I1ion or 872.
O. Why does Staff support the first year revenue
requirement increase specified in the Settlement?
A. Staff supports the first year revenue requirement
increase because it represents a reasonable compromise of
adjustments Lhat may or may not have been accepted at,
hearing. Staff believes the $5.7 million or 31? reduction in
t,he proposed increase comes relatively close to what Staff
believes could be achieved at hearing. The largest single
adjustment conceded by Staff for purposes of sett.l-ement was a
$1.2 million adjustment removing prepaid pension from working
capital. On this adjustment, Staff believes it would have
been difficult to prevail at hearing. However, Staff
recognizes t.hat. customers could benefit from prepaid pension
i-n the future.

requirement increase as specified in the Settlement?

A. Staff believes there is benefj-t to a two-year rate
plan for customers by phasing in an increase over a longer
period of time. Staff also recognizes the efficiency gained
for customers, the Company, and the Commission by reducing
general rate case filing costs. Staff maintains that. the
t.wo-year rate plan results j-n a lower increase for customers
than could be achieved through two separate rate filings.
Fina11y, Staff believes that the rate case st.ay-out has real
value to customers by prohibiting Company requests for
regulat,ory assets or expense deferrals during the stay-out
period. This assures that base rates will not increase afLer
the stay-out period ends due to cost incurred during the two-
year rate p1an.
O. How can Staff support a revenue requirement
increase in year two without allowing forecasted expenses and
invest.ment?
A. Staff has a long history of rejecting
forecasted/budgeted t,est year expenses and investment in
favor of hist.oric test years wit,h limit.ed proforma
adjustments. In t.his case, Staff agreed t.o five expense and
investment it,ems that would be allowed for recovery in year
two. Three of these items were removed from revenue
requirement in year one but allowed in year two because they
were relatively known and measurable. These are property
taxes, a non-executive Iabor salary j-ncrease of 3Z and

expenses for safety related underground equipment inspection.
Investment allowed for recovery in year two was
narrowly focused to include investment in meter data
management previously removed from year one. While Staff
maintains that the investment is somewhat premature given the
status of Avista's AMI program in fdaho, the investment is
compatible with existing Idaho metering facilities and needed
t.o al1ow meLer facilities upgrades in Idaho.
The other investment allowed in the second year is
for several specific hydropower relicensing, safety and
reliability projects. The projects include Little Falls,
Clark Fork and Spokane River on the e1ectric side and A1dy1 A
pipeline replacement on the natural gas slde.
Alt.hough t,hese proj ects are included in second year
revenue requj-rement, they are only partially allowed for
recovery by applying an Average of Monthly Averages (AMA) to
est,ablish rate base. This raLe base calculation aIlows t.he
investment. Lo earn a return and be incl-uded in the revenue
requirement for only part of the year based on when a project
goes on line rather than included in rat,e base as if it were
in service for the fuIl year. Staff maintains that. t.his
limited t.reatment of j-ncreased expenses and new investment in
year two represenLs a reasonable compromj-se between
forecasted/budgeted t.est years and the value of multi-year
rate p1ans.

Cost, Allocation and Rate Design
O. Why does Staff support the St.ipulation provisions
addressing class cost allocatj-on?
A. The class cost of service study provided by the
Company in this case applies the same methodology used by the
Company in its last general rate case, Case No. AVU-E-15-03.
In fact, Staff has had the opportunity to review all aspects
of Avista's cost of service many times over the last few
years. While aLtempts have been made to gradually move
classes more ful1y to cost of service, the results have been
mixed and progress sIow.
In this particular case, the large industrial
parties questioned t.he process of partial movement to cost of
service and the appropriate underlying methodology that has
been employed. The Company has historically used a 12
monthly coincident peak (l-2CP) cost of service methodol-ogy to
allocate costs to the various customer classes. Avista
indust.rial customers believe that a seven monthly coincident
peak methodology (7CP) is more representative of how cost are
incurred and how they should be allocated to high load factor
customers. Staff agrees that movement toward fu11 cost of
service over the years has been slow and disagreement sti1I
remains over the most approprlate cost of service
methodology.
Consequently, rather than the Company proposed

movement of 15? toward electric cost of servj-ce, Staff
supports the set.tlement compromJ-se to increase Avista
Schedule 25 and 25P by 75? of the overall revenue requi-rement
increase each year as specified in the Stipulation. This
provision decreases the amount. allocat.ed to the industrial
customers who are above cost of servi-ce and increases the
amount allocated to residential customers who are below cost
of service. Staff also recognizes the potential impacts of a
7CP cost of service approach and supports a workshop for
interested parties to further discuss the merits of various
cost of service methodologies.
O. What impact does this settlement provision have on
t.he revenue reguirement increase for each customer class?
A. St,aff Exhibit 101, pages l-3 and 14 show t.he
relat.ive impact on each customer class in each year of the
t.wo-year rate pIan. While the overall electric increase in
year one is 5.22, it is 5.72 for t.he residential cl-ass and
3.92 for Schedules 25 and 25P. In year two, the overall
increase is l-.8? or L.9Z for the residential class and 1.3?
for Schedules 25 and 25P.
The year one increase under Lhe Company's original
allocation proposal (and t.he stipulated revenue requirement
increase) would have resulted in a 5.4* increase for the
residential class , d 4.85? increase for Schedule 25 and a
4.52 increase for Schedule 25P. Second year increases would

have been !.77eo, 1,.6* and L.5? for residential, Schedule 25

adjustment in allocating the revenue increase is a reasonable
compromise for the purpose of this case.
A11 part.ies supported the Company's proposed class
allocation of t,he natural gas revenue requirement increase
but no agreement was reached on the appropriate electric or
gas cost of service methodology t,o be used in future rate
cases.
O. Why does Staff support an increase in the
resident.ial customer charge?
A. Staff supports t.he $0.25 and $0.75 per month
increase in customer charges for residential electric and
natural gas servj-ce, respectively, for several reasons. The
first reason deals generally with the large amount of fixed
costs incurred by the Company relative t.o the smal1 amount of
fixed costs collected by the Company through rates. This
mismatch in how costs are incurred and how they are collected
can result in an under collect.ion of fixed cost needed to
support Company operations.
The second reason St.aff supports a smal1 customer
charge increase j-s based on the results of a 1ow income
consumption study conducted by the Company showing t.hat low
income customers use more energy on average than other
residential customers. A modest. increase in the customer

charge reduces the necessary increase j-n commodity charges.
Thus, many 1ow income customer bills will be slightly lower
than they otherwise would be.
Fina11y, the increase in the cusLomer charge will
reduce t.he 1eve1 of fixed costs that are subject Lo recovery
through the Company's fixed cost adjustment mechanism (FCA) .
Staff maint.ains that collecting fixed cost through individual
customer charges may be more equitable than collecting fixed
costs through FCA commodity charges.
O. Does Staff support the other aspects of the
stipulated rate design?
A. Yes. In addition to supporting the first year
residential customer charge increases, Staff also supports
the various customer and demand charge increases originally
proposed by the Company in year one wit,h remaining revenue
requirement in year one collected from increased commodity
charges for both gas and electric service. Staff further
supports increasing only the commodity rate for al-1 electric
and gas service schedules in year two of the two-year rate
p1an.
Low Income Weatherization

will conduct a workshop to discuss the status of Avista's low
income weatherization program, how t,he money is currently
spent and whether additional funding is needed and available.
Staff recognizes that the issue of adequate funding for these
programs has not been addressed for several years and
believes that it. is appropriate to do so now. Due to the
time constraints inherent in sett.lement negotiations, and
because funding comes from Avista's electric and gas energy
efficiency tariff riders, Staff believes that a more thorough
but. expedJ-ted post-settl-ement. review will allow Avista,
Staff, CAPAI and other interested parties the opportunity to
research, review and dj-scuss these programs and determine
whether funding should be j-ncreased. Avista will make any
necessary filings resulting from this effort by year end
20L7 .
Staff further maintains that Commission Order No.
32788 specifies the conditions upon which additional low
income funding should be considered. The workshop will
provide all parties the opportunit.y Lo make that assessment.
The December 31, 2017, deadline will also a1low CAP agencies

and protection policies and practices. The Gas Service Rules
include service standards (pressure, heat content and

in ldaho. The Company proposed a Two-Year Rate Plan with an increase in electric base revenue
of $ 18.6 million or 7 .57o for 2018, and $9.9 million or 3.7Va for 2019. With regard to natural gas,
the Cornpany proposed an increase in base revenLle of $3,5 million or 8.87c for 2018 (5.TVo an a
billed basis), and $2.1 million or 5.07o for 2019 (3.3Vc on a billed basis). By Order No. 33808,
dated June 3A,2017, the Commission suspended the proposed schedr-rles of rates and charges for
electric and natural gas service.
3. Petitions to intervene in this proceeding were filed by Clearwater, Idaho Forest,
CAPAI, ldaho Conservation League, and the Sierra Club. The Commission granted these
interventions through IPUC Order Nos. 33804, 33815 and 33829.
