What the filing says
As of August 2, 2026, wildfires in the Spokane area have caused significant damage to Avista's electric and natural gas infrastructure. Approximately 5,300 natural gas customers remain without service due to fire damage and access restrictions; electric transmission lines in West Spokane sustained damage, forcing the company to operate the transmission system at reduced capacity with potential periodic outages. Service restoration timelines remain unclear pending damage assessments and emergency responder access.
Why this rating
Material operational disruption affecting ~1.2% of gas customers and unknown fraction of electric base; transmission damage creates near-term revenue/liability exposure but magnitude and duration undefined. Relative to $3.1B market cap, damage extent and insurance coverage unclear.
