Public Counsel and industrial customers recommend reduction in Avista’s proposed electric and gas rate increases
SEATTLE – The Public Counsel Section of the Washington State Attorney General’s Office and the Industrial Customers of NW Utilities (ICNU) today challenged electric and gas rate increases proposed by Avista.
Avista’s original request, filed with the Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) in March 2008, would have generated an additional $43.2 million in revenues ($36.6 million from electric customers and $6.6 million from gas customers).
