What are some ways to manage energy use at home or work? What will the electricity grid look like in 20 years? What kind of renewable energy sources will be a part of the future? For Avista, an investor-owned utility serving customers in Washington, Idaho and Oregon, these are the types of questions that drive customer communication and community engagement.

For over a decade, DHC has served as a strategic partner to Avista. We’ve been there to provide communication counsel on topics such as the energy future, rates, renewables and energy efficiency programs.  We’ve also served as an ongoing extension of their communications staff, jumping in to help with a variety of projects and initiatives designed to strengthen customer education and engagement.  Some recent projects include customer communication programs like Energy on the Street, media and message training and the development of events that create dialogue around sustainability and the future of energy, like Powering Our Future and Power Down, Add Up.  We are proud to work with one of the greenest utilities in the country and such an important community leader.
