Just ran into an interesting situation with Avista in Portland. Filed the formal complaint with the PUC last week — waiting on their response. Three of the 36 months show estimated reads with no true-up.
E&O insurance — who are you using?
This is exactly why I always pull 24+ months of history. The pattern wouldn''t show in a shorter window.
Nice find. I''ve started using a custom Excel template to cross-reference these calculations and it saves a ton of time.

Solid analysis. One thing I''d add is to verify the ratchet at 80% of peak against the original service application.
I disagree with the approach of going straight to the PUC. Try the utility''s escalation process first — it''s faster.
Excellent discussion everyone. Lloyd P, your approach on this Portland General Electric case is solid. For newer members, this is a great example of why thorough tariff review is essential.
