Avista launched a Peak Time Rebate (PTR) pilot program in June 2024 to a limited number of Washington residential and small commercial electric customers.
The pilot program is fully subscribed for the purpose of the study.
Enrollment ended May 31st, 2025. The PTR pilot will run for two years and help Avista develop a peak-time-rebate structure that can effectively shift or reduce power use during times when there is very high demand on Avista’s electric system. Ultimately the pilot will help us provide clean, sustainable, and affordable energy to all our customers.
PTR options may be available to more electric customers after completion of the pilot.
