A Legacy of Service

Picture this: back in 1889, when horse-drawn carriages still ruled the streets, Avista was born. Yep, that’s right—the same year Vincent van Gogh painted “Starry Night.” Now, fast-forward through time, like a well-edited movie montage. Avista has seen a lot—the rise of electricity, the fall of typewriters, and the invention of emojis (🙌). But you know what hasn’t changed? Our commitment to service.

Avista restores warmth and light to your homes in the chill of winter storms. We energize businesses and keep daily life humming, ensuring that even your Netflix binges go uninterrupted. But Avista’s essence lies beyond the infrastructure—it’s about the people, the connections, and the cherished moments. We remain as committed to you now as we were back in 1889 to provide safe and reliable energy services.

Empowering Communities

Avista isn’t just about keeping the lights on and the gas flowing. We’ve planted trees, sponsored scholarships, and high-fived local nonprofits.
