~More Information~
The meeting will feature a slide presentation by Avista’s Larry La Bolle on the history of The Washington Water Power Company / Avista Corporation. More than just a discussion of the story of one utility company, the presentation mirrors the history of the development of the electric utility industry, and more specifically here in the Pacific Northwest. You will be surprised by the rapid development of new technologies early in the industry, such as electric vehicles, storage batteries and microgrids, and how the industry has turned once again to newer versions of these old approaches to electric service. The presentation also tells the story of the development of Public Power here in Washington and how the days of active competition between consumer and private utilities has given way to partnership and collaboration in modern times. Finally, the story touches on the major consolidation going on in the industry today, including the recently-announced planned sale of Avista to a major Canadian electric utility, Hydro One.
