Business Model & Revenue
Avista earns most revenue through regulated electric and natural-gas rates. Regulators determine how prudently incurred operating costs, purchased energy and capital investments are recovered and set an allowed return on utility assets. Electricity comes from owned generation and market purchases, while gas is procured and delivered through distribution networks. Weather, customer usage, power and gas costs, rate cases and infrastructure spending influence results.
Key Facts & Market Position
Avista Utilities combines hydroelectric, thermal and other generation with electric and gas distribution, while the Alaska subsidiary operates a separate electric system. Hydroelectric resources are an important part of supply and require federal licensing and water-management obligations. The company's regional concentration exposes it to local regulation, wildfire risk, hydrology and the capital needs of aging energy infrastructure.
