Debt Disclosure [Abstract] |
Long Term Debt | NOTE 10. LONG-TERM DEBT In March 2023, the Company issued and sold $250.0 mi llion of 5.66 percent first mortgage bonds due in 2053 with institutional investors in the private placement market. In connection with the pricing of the first mortgage bonds in March 2023, the Company cash-settled four interest rate swap derivatives (notional aggregate amount of $40.0 million) and received a net amount of $7.5 million, which will be amortized as a component of interest expense over the life of the debt. See Note 6 for a discussion of interest rate swap derivatives. A portion of the net proceeds from the sale of these bonds will be used for the construction or improvement of utility facilities, and a portion was used to refinance existing indebtedness, including the repayment of Avista Corp.'s $150 million term loan.
