⚡ A project requiring enough power to rival some of the region's largest industrial users could be coming to the Inland Northwest.

According to a recent SEC filing, Avista disclosed a non-binding agreement with an unnamed company requesting:

⚡ 125 MW of power beginning in 2029
⚡ Expansion potential up to 500 MW by 2032

To put that into perspective:

📊 Roughly 16% of Avista's current generating capacity
🏙️ Enough electricity to impact a significant portion of Spokane County's power demand
🏗️ One of the largest potential development projects discussed in the region in years

Many are speculating the request could be tied to a large-scale data center, though no company or location has been confirmed.

What we do know:

✅ SEC filing exists
✅ Power request is real
❓ Company remains unnamed
❓ Location remains unknown
❓ Regulatory approval still required

If this project moves forward, it could have major implications for economic growth, jobs, infrastructure, and future development across the Inland Northwest.

👇 What do you think this project could be?
