I just got a bill for 340$ for one month. Avista has a monopoly therefore they are allowed to charge any outrageous amount they like. Terrible. Getting an energy competition company in is so vital

I'm just trying to catch up and break even with my bills. Hiking my electric bill up TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS for a new place that is HALF THE SIZE OF MY OLD PLACE is highway robbery!

Our bills have been ridiculous! They are killing the lower class with their insane monthly bills. We keep the lights off and keep the heater at 72 degrees only when it is freezing cold. We use our wood stove as well. Our bill was over $400 this last winter and during the summer it was at least $200 a month or more. We have over $2000 in collections. I can't count the times we got shut off and had to pay extra to get our power back on. We can't even keep up and both adults work in our household. We have children to feed. Everyone I know has the same complains with Avista. It's extremely frustrating!

Avista does have a monopoly on the entire county and their outrageous prices show.
Something needs to change!

we switched to gas heat this year, but they still charged us what they charged us last year, and won't read the meter! major rip off.

My bill went from $105 to over $400 in one month. I used the same, if not less, amount of electricity both times. There is no way my bill should have been so high. This is friggin' ridiculous.

I think the CEO has made enough this year. He can quit taking it out of my pocket. Gotta wonder how many kids he's taking care of with all that money, because I know I'm doing it with less!

Its obvious that there is a problem when Vera and Modern customers did not see a double/triple in their bill for the same month that Avista is saying was the coldest since 1979, in which we were still under WWP and the rates were extremely lower. Its sad when a family has to choose between heat for their family or food for their kids. My bill took over half of my paycheck which meant I had to make arrangements to pay part of my rent at a later date just so I could have heat and power.

I don't understand why Avista thinks they can raise the price of electric when winter comes because people use more to heat there houses and lights I don't even have Chrisman lights up or my tree on because they have raised it so much that I can't afford this winter with my newborn son all because everyone else want els to have lights up I get punis he'd by the increase too

Faced with two shut offs this winter due to outrageous bills, made efforts to pay what i could when i could. Made a $100 payment towards my bill and 6 days later recieved a final notice. Customer service was cruel.
Knock it off Avista!
