Summary Avista requests a purchased gas cost increase of approximately $11.9 million (8.7% overall) to cover higher natural gas costs for the coming year. There is a prospective and historic component to this filing. The prospective component is to cover expected higher natural gas costs for the coming year ($16.5 million increase). The historic component of this filing reduces the current surcharge rate that recovers prior period under-collections ($4.6 million decrease). The net effect of these changes will increase the average residential customer's bill by $5.20 per month (9.46%) based on usage of 70 therms.
