Avista sent out an email, last week, encouraging people to sign up for their TOU program.
Dear Valued Customer,
We’re excited to introduce our new Time-of-Use (TOU) Rate Program, designed to help you save money while reducing your environmental impact. Here’s what you need to know:
1. What is the TOU Program?
- During peak hours (typically when demand is highest), energy rates are higher.
- Off-peak hours (evenings, weekends, and holidays) offer lower rates.
- By adjusting your energy usage to off-peak times, you can reduce your monthly bill.
2. Why Enroll?
- Potential Cost Savings: Take advantage of lower rates during off-peak periods.
- Environmental Impact: Conserve energy and contribute to sustainability.
- Flexibility: Customize your energy use based on your schedule.
3. How to Enroll:
- Visit our website myavista.com/TOU and Compare Rate Plans to learn more and see if a TOU plan is right for you.
- Follow the enrollment instructions.
4. TOU Pilot Details:
- The pilot programs will run for two years.
- You can return to your standard rate at any time.

The Gateway Pundit article below the Avista email lays out where Avista is headed in their rate charging …
Southern Californians were hit with massive electricity bills this summer after a new Socialist “Time of Use” (TOU) pricing system went into effect.
SoCal utility company Southern California Edison (SCE) charges its customers more for energy use during ‘peak hours’ with its “Time of Use” pricing system.
Customers pay higher rates if they use electricity during different times of day. This incentivizes people NOT to use energy during the hottest times of the day.
Energy is energy but the utility company is punishing their customers and charging more money for air conditioning during peak heat waves!
