ORDER NO. 35549 1

Office of the Secretary
Service Date
October 6, 2022
BEFORE THE IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION

On March 1, 2022, Avista Corporation dba Avista Utilities (“Company”) applied to the
Commission for authority to implement a new tariff Schedule 195—Optional Renewable Natural
Gas-Idaho (“Schedule 195”). On September 2, 2022, the Commission approved the Company’s
Application as filed but directed it to file updated tariffs correcting clerical errors described in Staff
Comments. See Order No. 35520.
On September 20, 2022, the Company filed a compliance filing (“Filing”) containing new
Schedule 195 tariff sheets, and an updated Tariff Index Sheet. The Company removed Schedule
178 (Deferred Balances Credit - Idaho) from its Tariff Index Sheet because the deferral was in
effect from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2022, per Order No. 35150, but is no longer in
effect when the Filing was made. Staff reviewed the Company’s Filing and at the Commission’s
September 20, 2022 Decision Meeting, recommended the Commission approve the updated tariff
sheets.
COMMISSION FINDINGS AND DECISION
After reviewing the Company’s Filing, we find the updated tariff sheets consistent with our
directives in Order No. 35520. Accordingly, we accept the Company’s Filing.
ORDER
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Company’s Schedule 195 updated tariff sheets are
approved, as filed, effective September 2, 2022.
THIS IS A FINAL ORDER. Any person interested in this Order may petition for
reconsideration within twenty-one (21) days of the service date of this Order regarding any matter
decided in this Order. Within seven (7) days after any person has petitioned for reconsideration,
any other person may cross-petition for reconsideration. See Idaho Code § 61-626.
