Idaho Electric Customers

UPDATE: On July 26, 2010, Avista and other parties involved in our electric and natural gas rate filings reached an agreement that resolves most of the issues in the cases. You can read the news release here. The terms of the settlement agreement, which must be approved by the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (IPUC), are:

  • An overall 9.3 percent electric increase
  • An additional $21.25 million increase in billed electric revenue service
  • A temporary $17.5 million credit would be applied to customer bills over two years to return the balance of deferred Idaho state income taxes from prior years
  • The rate change would be effective October 1, 2010
  • If the settlement agreement and separate Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) filing are approved, a residential customer using an average of 1,000 kilowatt-hours a month would see a $5.37 increase for a revised bill of $86.27 a month
