Avista generates and transmits electricity and distributes natural gas to residential, commercial, and industrial customers. Approximately 1,550{{citation needed|date=October 2012}} employees provides electricity, natural gas, and other energy services to 359,000 electric and 320,000 natural gas customers{{citation needed|date=October 2012}} in three western states. The service territory covers {{convert|30000|sqmi}} in eastern Washington, northern Idaho, and parts of southern and eastern Oregon, with a population of 1.5 million.[2] Avista Utilities is the regulated business unit of Avista Corp., an investor-owned corporation headquartered in Spokane, Washington. Avista Corp.'s primary, non-utility subsidiary was Ecova, an energy and sustainability management company with over 700{{citation needed|date=October 2012}} expense management customers, representing more than 600,000{{citation needed|date=October 2012}} sites. In 2014, Ecova was sold to Cofely, a subsidiary of GDF Suez.[3] The company was founded {{Years or months ago|1889}} in 1889 as Washington Water Power Company.[4][5] The board of directors approved a name change to Avista Corporation, effective January 1, 1999, and the company began trading under the Avista name on Monday, {{nowrap| January 4.[4][6][7]}} At that time, the company also bought naming rights for Spokane's minor league baseball park, Avista Stadium. HistoryWashington Water Power was founded in 1889 helping the new and booming city of Spokane Falls to have more power. Using the Spokane River,[8][9] the idea was that the town could use hydroelectricity. Trustees of the Edison Electric Illuminating Company asked for people to back them up in their project from New York to build a power station on the river. The people in New York refused saying that water power had little to no value. Defying the people in New York, 10 stockholders stepped up to support the project themselves and formed Washington Water Power to build it.[10] Washington Water Power expanded in Oregon and into California by acquiring the natural gas operations of CP National from Alltel in 1989.[11] The California operations were sold to Southwest Gas in 2005.[12] In 2014, Avista acquired Alaska Electric Light & Power, the electric utility for Juneau in an all stock transaction worth $170 million.[13] Avista supports adoption of electric vehicles. In 2016, Avista proposed a two-year pilot program that would install 265 charging stations for electric cars in the eastern part of Washington state. The program was estimated to cost around $3.1 million. It would install fast electric vehicle charging stations in 120 homes, 100 work places, and 45 public areas.[14] In 2017, Ontario-based electrical utility Hydro One agreed to purchase Avista.[15] In December 2018, The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission rejected the proposed takeover by Hydro-One, saying the Ontario government (its largest shareholder) led by recently elected premier Doug Ford, had interfered politically in Hydro One's business affairs, most glaringly ordering the removal of CEO Mayo Schmidt, who he dubbed "the Six Million Dollar Man" during the election and vowed to fire him if elected.[16] LawsuitsOn September 27, 2002, Avista was sued for issuing false and misleading statements concerning its business and financial condition, including failing to disclose that Avista was engaged in highly risky energy trading activities with Enron and Portland General Electric.[17] On December 20, 2007, Avista agreed to a $9.5 million settlement. RestatementOn February 20, 2002, the company had voluntarily adjusted the amount originally allocated to IPR&D and will restate its third quarter 1998 consolidated financial statements accordingly.[18] References1. ^{{cite web | url=https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/104918/000010491815000044/ava-20141231x10k.htm#sC82372F915A80D6A60A8E343CAADB391 | title=Form 10-K 2014 Avista Corporation | publisher=SEC | accessdate=29 April 2015}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=Avista Corp. 2012 Shared Value Report|url=http://www.avistautilities.com/inside/sharedvalue2012/Documents/FlipBook/index.aspx|publisher=Avista Corp|accessdate=10 September 2012}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Our History|url=http://www.ecova.com/about-us/our-history.aspx|publisher=Avista Corp|accessdate=13 December 2014}} 4. ^1 {{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=vWpfAAAAIBAJ&sjid=vC4MAAAAIBAJ&pg=5907%2C1104713 |work=Lewiston Morning Tribune |location=(Idaho) |agency=Associated Press |last=Wiley |first=John K. |title=WWP's name changed to Avista Corp. |date=January 5, 1999 |page=7A}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Avista Legacy Timeline|url=http://www.avistalegacy.com/|accessdate=10 September 2012}} 6. ^{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=A9NYAAAAIBAJ&sjid=7PEDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6789%2C3285107 |work=Spokesman-Review |location=(Spokane, Washington) |last=Caldwell |first=Bert |title=It's officially Avista |date=January 5, 1999 |page=A6}} 7. ^{{cite news |url=http://services.corporate-ir.net/SEC.Enhanced/SecCapsule.aspx?c=97267&fid=785555 |publisher=Avista Corporation |title=SEC filing |agency=press release |date=January 4, 1999 |accessdate=June 17, 2015}} 8. ^{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=utcUAAAAIBAJ&sjid=trUDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6644%2C1898465 |newspaper=Spokesman-Review |location=(Spokane, Washington) |title=Spokane Falls are almost dry |date=September 28, 1904 |page=7 }} 9. ^{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=FrpXAAAAIBAJ&sjid=APQDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6766%2C2127611 |newspaper=Spokane Daily Chronicle |location=(Washington) |title=Seek Power Plant at Rapids |date=February 8, 1910 |page=2 }} 10. ^http://www.avistautilities.com/inside/history/Pages/default.aspx 11. ^{{Cite web | title = WASHINGTON WATER POWER COMPANY - Company Profile, Information, Business Description, History, Background Information on WASHINGTON WATER POWER COMPANY | accessdate = 2014-12-03 | url = http://www.referenceforbusiness.com/history2/77/WASHINGTON-WATER-POWER-COMPANY.html }} 12. ^{{Cite web | title = Avista Leaves CA; Southwest Gas Assumes S.
