2025 All-Source RFP
Avista’s Integrated Resource Plan, filed on December 31, 2024, identified an energy resource shortfall within four years, which triggers this All-Source Request for Proposal process. Avista intends to secure energy resources through one or more resource types to meet this shortfall. Bidders are welcome to propose resource opportunities that meet any of Avista’s needs.
As part of the selection process, Avista will measure the strength of each project’s proposal based on, but not limited to, its overall impact on future cost to customers, the ability to offset market purchases, provide dispatch flexibility, contribute to future resource adequacy requirements, and help Avista equitably achieve its clean energy goals. Avista welcomes proposals for projects that contribute to a portion or all of Avista’s future resource needs.
Avista anticipates releasing the All-Source RFP in June 2025. Check back for additional updates.
