Avista Corp
.’s proposed sale to a Canadian utility will get another round of scrutiny from Washington regulators this fall.
The state Utilities and Transportation Commission has scheduled an Oct. 23 technical hearing on the proposed $5.3 billion sale to Hydro One Ltd. of Toronto. The hearing will give the three UTC commissioners the opportunity to ask questions of Avista and Hydro One officials after a political shakeup last month led to the retirement of Hydro One’s chief executive and the resignation of its entire board, said Kate Griffith, a UTC spokeswoman.
