RE:Case No. A VU-05-
Order No. 29896
Ladies/Gentlemen:
Avista Corporation requests that the Commission amend Case No. A VU-05-, granted on October 20,2005,
to increase the amount of securities authorized to be issued to $150 million.
In Order No. 29896, the Commission authorized the Applicant to issue up to $100 million of securities. The
Applicant just completed the issuance, under that authority, of $100 million of securities. The current markets
are favorable and there was a lot of interest in the offering. The Applicant has a substantial amount of
maturities in the coming years and this additional authority will allow the Applicant to issue in the current
attractive interest rate market. The Applicant feels the current economics are good and this would allow the
Applicant to continue its return to financial health.
Please do not hesitate to contact Paul Kimball at [phone] should you need any additional information or
have any questions.
Sincerely,~c~
Diane C. Thoren
Assistant Treasurer
