About Avista

Avista helps families power and heat their homes every day. It delivers electricity and natural gas to customers in the Northwest. The company also serves the city of Juneau in Alaska.

Heat, Light, and Power

  • Electric Services: Generating and moving power to residential and business sites; generated $327 million in revenue during Q1 2026.
  • Natural Gas: Delivering fuel for home heating and industrial use; generated $151 million in revenue during Q1 2026.
  • Wholesale Energy Marketing: Buying and selling energy to manage supply and capture market value; generated $33 million in revenue during Q1 2026.
  • Alaska Electric: Providing power to 17,400 customers in Juneau through the AEL&P subsidiary.

Recent Strategic Steps

  • In April 2025, the company's System Operators voted to join the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.

  • The company utilizes Multi-Year Rate Plans, which are systems that set customer rates for several years at a time.

What Makes Avista Different

Avista produces power through a mix of hydroelectric, wind, and thermal plants. It uses decoupling, which is a regulatory tool that separates revenue from the total amount of energy customers use.

  • Operating revenue fell to $570 million in Q1 2026, down 7.6% year-over-year.

  • Capital spending on utility property reached $150 million in Q1 2026, up from $103 million in Q1 2025.

The Bottom Line

Avista has evolved its operations to meet regional clean energy goals while maintaining service across five states. Its business depends on balancing regulatory decisions with the management of diverse energy resources.
