Avista Utilities customers in Idaho will see rate increases this month for electricity and natural gas that regulators approved last June.
Earlier this year, Avista announced that it reached a settlement agreement that would raise rates for Idaho customers by about 12% for electricity users and 1.6% for natural gas ratepayers.
Natural gas customers using an average or 64 therms per month would see a 1.6% increase, making their monthly bill $74.62. Avista’s average residential customer in Idaho can expect electricity bills to climb $10.15 per month to about $95.55 per month – an 11.9% increase.
The next year the rates will increase again, pushing the bill to about $97.61 in September 2024.
Avista serves more than 141,000 electric and 92,000 natural gas customers in Idaho.
