5 Demand Forecast Follow Up
6 Agenda Demand Model Review Natural Gas Price Forecast Distribution Planning Demand Sensitivities Follow Up Demand Scenarios
7 Basic Demand Modeling Equation Demand is a function of customer base usage and weather sensitive usage. The SENDOUT model computes daily forecasted demand based on the following general formula: # of customers x Daily base usage / customer Plus # of customers x Daily weather sensitive usage /customer
8 Dynamic Demand Methodology Demand Influencing Conditions that DIRECTLY affect core customer volume consumed Price Influencing PRICE SENSITIVE conditions that, through price elasticity, INDIRECTLY affect core customer volume consumed

58 Supply and Infrastructure Discussion
59 Agenda Supply Resources Avista s needs Procurement plan Storage Resources Transportation Resources Other Potential Resources
60 Avista s Core Gas Supply Needs Avista s core customers consumed approximately 34 bcf in 2008 Widely varying procurement needs with significant uncertainty Monthly volume variance (plan) high vs. low 193,000 Dth vs. 26,000 Dth Intra month volume variance (e.g. November high vs. low volumes 140,000 Dth vs. 50,000 Dth Planned peak day volume = 351,000 Dth in 2010 Significant price volatility; for example Rockies basin: Gas Daily four year average price $5.72 High $13.10 on December 14, 2005; Low $.08 on November 9, 2007

62 Natural Gas Procurement Plan Objective Goal To provide reliable supply at stable and competitive prices in navigating a variety of market conditions Premise - Avista cannot accurately predict future natural gas prices, but market conditions and experience help shape our overall approach The Strategic Oversight Group (which is made up of employees in Gas Supply, Risk Management, Rates, Accounting, and Credit) annually reviews and creates the coming year s procurement plan. The procurement plan is approved by Avista s Risk Management Committee. Avista regularly considers plan enhancements.
63 Procurement Plan Structure The procurement plan incorporates a portfolio approach that is diversified in terms of: Components: The plan utilizes a mix of index, fixed price, and storage transactions. Transaction Timing: Hedge windows are developed to distribute the transactions throughout the plan. Supply Basins: Supplies come from the Rocky Mountain region and Alberta. Sumas is generally used for supply and price optimization. Delivery Periods: Hedges are completed in annual, seasonal and monthly timeframes. Long-term hedges may be included Transactions are executed pursuant to a plan and process; however, the procurement plan allows Avista to be flexible to market conditions and opportunistic when appropriate.
64 Procurement Options Avista seeks to balance considerations of the portfolio s cost and volatility through its purchasing activities. Procurement options include: Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) & NGX Real-time NYMEX Brokers OTC Telephone & Instant Messaging Index Price (Annual, Seasonal, Monthly, Daily) Fixed Price (Annual, Seasonal, Monthly) Physical Transactions Financial Transactions Derivatives Avista purchases gas in the spot market as well as the forward market. Spot purchases are made on a day for the next day or weekend. Forward purchases are made on a day for a designated future delivery period.
65 Supply Locations AECO - Canadian gas coming out of Alberta, Canada Rockies - US domestic gas coming from Wyoming and Colorado Sumas - Canadian gas coming out of BC, Canada Malin - South central at the Oregon and California border Stanfield - Intersection of two major pipelines in North central Oregon
66 Regional Natural Gas Storage Resources Jackson Prairie Mist Plymouth Clay Basin AECO Northern California Jackson Prairie Natural Gas Facility Chehalis, Washington
67 Avista s Storage Resources Washington and Idaho Owned Jackson Prairie 5.2 Bcf of Capacity with approximately 268,000 Dth/d of deliverability Oregon Owned Jackson Prairie 263,000 Dth of Capacity with approximately 26,000 Dth/d of deliverability Leased Jackson Prairie 95,565 Dth of Capacity with approximately 2,654 Dth/d of deliverability Leased Mist 500,000 Dth of Capacity with approximately 15,000 Dth of deliverability. Contract expires April In April 2011, we anticipate recalling 3.0 Bcf of Capacity from Shell Energy for use in utility operations, subject to regulatory approval.
68 Storage A valuable asset Peaking resource Improves reliability Enables capture of price spreads between time periods Inter seasonal spreads Intra seasonal spreads Enables efficient counter cyclical utilization of transportation
69 Regional Transportation Resources TransCanada Alberta (NOVA) Transporting gas out of Alberta, Canada TransCanada BC (ANG) Transporting gas through BC, Canada to US Spectra Energy (WestCoast) Transporting gas from western BC Canada to US Gas Transmission Northwest (GTN) Transporting gas from Canada/US border to CA Williams Pipeline West (Northwest Pipeline) Transporting gas from western BC and US Rockies Source: NWGA
