Avista Corporation reports that three major wildfires in the Spokane, Washington area, within its service territory, have burned over 8,000 acres and destroyed over 600 structures as of the evening of August 2, 2026. None of the fires are contained, and the company states its facilities were not involved in starting any of them. The fires have caused extensive damage to electric transmission and distribution facilities, leading to customer outages and evacuations in West Spokane.

Service has been restored to customers affected only by prior Public Safety Power Shutoffs, but remaining outages are tied to active wildfire conditions, damaged infrastructure, evacuation restrictions and safety concerns. Significant damage to transmission lines in West Spokane has reduced system capacity and may cause periodic power outages as repairs proceed. Approximately 5,300 natural gas customers are without service, and restoration requires multi-step inspections, repairs and relighting at individual premises. Avista is coordinating with emergency agencies, requesting voluntary energy conservation and emphasizing safety and community support during recovery.

Avista Corp. reported higher results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026.

Management attributes the GAAP earnings increase primarily to improved investment performance at non-regulated other businesses, which generated $13 million of income in the first half of 2026 versus losses of $12 million in 2025, as well as the effects of general rate cases. Utility earnings reflected lower electric and natural gas revenues offset by reduced fuel and gas resource costs, lower depreciation after the Colstrip exit, higher interest income, and a lower effective tax rate of 12% (vs. 14%.
