    Integrated Resource Planning

    Planning is integral to everything we do at Avista, and it is especially important in determining how to meet the future energy needs of our customers. Central to this effort is a process called the Integrated Resource Plan, or IRP. You can think of the IRP as a roadmap for how we will meet the energy needs of our electric and natural gas customers 20 years into the future.

    Having a diverse energy mix is the foundation of Avista's ability to provide our customers with clean, reliable power at fair, reasonable rates. Our diversified energy portfolio ensures we have a stable supply of power around the clock, every day of the year, today and into the future.

    As a regulated utility, Avista files an electric IRP in odd years with the public utility commissions in Washington and Idaho. We also file a natural gas IRP with the public utility commissions in Washington, Idaho, and Oregon every other year. 

    An important part of both the electric and natural gas IRP process is public involvement. Two key opportunities for public involvement are through the Technical Advisory Committee, or TAC, and public comment periods.

    The TAC is a committee of stakeholders who meet to review specific technical issues and aspects of the IRP. During this approximately 18-month process, the electric IRP TAC and the natural gas TAC each meet several times in Spokane and online. To encourage participation in the TACs by a diverse group of representatives, participation is available via webinar or conference call.

    When the respective IRPs have been drafted, the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission, Idaho Public Utilities Commission, and Public Utility Commission of Oregon will each hold open comment periods when the public is invited to review the plan and provide comments to the respective agencies.

    Electric IRP

    2023 Electric IRP

    Avista began developing the 2023 IRP in late 2021. If you are interested in joining the TAC and participating in the development of the IRP, please email John Lyons or contact him at (509) 495-8515. You can also contact him with questions about previous IRPs, the TAC process or the Work Plan.
