Avista Utilities, serving 800,000 customers in four northwestern states, submitted its 2025 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) focusing on addressing projected growth in electricity demand. The plan emphasizes a commitment to a clean and affordable energy future while highlighting the importance of modernizing current infrastructure and acquiring new resources. Avista intends to issue a request for proposals to identify capacity and renewable resources. The plan includes adding wind and solar resources, energy efficiency programs, and reliable generation resources. They also plan to implement demand response programs to manage peak loads and expect a growth in energy demand, with a reduction of 32% in future demand growth through energy efficiency. Avista aims to meet Washington's Clean Energy Transformation Act requirements by 2030, focusing on being greenhouse gas neutral with hydrogen-based fuels, wind, solar, and other resources. The plan also mentions the proposed North Plains Connector transmission line as a preferred resource alternative. Overall, Avista's plan demonstrates a positive outlook towards clean energy and sustainability.
