Avista will consider hybrid proposals including combinations of clean energy, capacity and/or storage. Avista will not accept proposals for Renewable Energy Certificates (REC) only.
In addition, Avista seeks to acquire at least 5 MW of Demand Response (DR) beginning in 2026. DR programs provide a cost-effective solution to meeting energy demand at peak times and will be evaluated along with supply side resources.

Designed for daily use, it's been embraced by over 20,000 traders, earning a 4.5-star Courtesy of Saus Trades EDMONTON, Alberta, June 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Saus Trades, the digital brand redefining trading psychology, has launched The Trader's Mind, a breakthrough eBook built to help traders conquer the #1 reason 90 percent of them fail: the mental game. While most trading resources obsess over charts and technical analysis, this guide tackles the emotional chaos that wrecks consistency and destroys confidence. The Trader's Mind shifts the focus from tactics to transformation. It offers real-world tools to sharpen emotional discipline and master decision-making under pressure. Inside, traders will find breathing methods, mental reset frameworks, guided journal pages, and practical strategies to stay calm, clear, and locked in, even in high-stakes market moments. During its pre-launch period, The Trader's Mind exploded in popularity, reaching over 20,000 traders across the globe with a 4.5-star rating based on thousands of testimonials. Readers say they're making faster, more focused decisions, overcoming emotional impulses, and finally executing trades with clarity. 'Our goal was not just to create a book, it is to revolutionise the culture of trading,' said Kaitana Purchase and Emma Bell, co-CEOs of Saus Trades. 'We are here to bridge the gap between knowing how to trade and having the mindset to actually do it, consistently and confidently.' This eBook is more than a helpful guide, rather a psychological performance tool. Whether traders are bouncing back from a loss, stuck in hesitation, or chasing the next high, The Trader's Mind gives traders the internal structure to stay grounded and make elite-level decisions in real time. Saus Trades has coined this core concept as 'emotional discipline,' the ability to stick to traders' strategy regardless of fear, greed, or uncertainty. It's this skill that separates winning traders from everyone else, and it's what The Trader's Mind was built to develop. 'Emotional mastery isn't optional, it's the difference between burnout and breakthrough,' says Bell. 'We made this eBook for traders who are ready to stop sabotaging themselves and start showing up like professionals.' With guided exercises, self-assessment tools, and plug-and-play routines, the eBook helps traders uncover their mental blocks, build new habits, and create an environment where discipline becomes second nature. Already serving traders in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, and the UAE, Saus Trades is scaling fast. Its no-fluff, psychology-first approach stands out in an industry dominated by technical analysis, and it is catching fire with traders who want real results. The launch of The Trader's Mind is timed as the trading community becomes more aware that psychology, not strategy, is the real battleground, and Saus Trades is stepping in with the exact tools traders have been missing. To celebrate, Saus Trades is offering new customers 10 percent off with code WELCOME10. This discount is part of the brand's mission: to make elite mental training accessible to every trader, no matter their level or capital.

Canadian Health Tech Cuts Hospital Emergency Department Triage Time by up to 60%
Ontario-based digital health company EmergConnect reports up to 60% reductions in emergency room triage time at hospitals using its platform. Several major Ontario hospitals now use the system Photo Courtesy of EmergConnect TORONTO, June 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EmergConnect's digital platform helps hospitals cut ER triage time by up to 60%. The system gives patients real-time wait estimates, supports nursing staff, and is gaining traction as an early solution for Canada's strained emergency departments.'We've seen ER triage times cut by up to 60% with our platform,' says Ron Galaev, founder and CEO of EmergConnect. 'It's about giving nurses back their time and giving patients the clarity they deserve—because uncertainty shouldn't be part of seeking care.' Hospitals using EmergConnect allow patients to begin their emergency department visit before they even walk through the door, or comfortably in their seat in the waiting room. Individuals can enter symptoms and details through their phones, register in advance, and receive an estimate of how long they might wait. Nurses then review the information in the EmergConnect portal and send it straight into their hospitals' system with just one click. The company worked for eight months with national and provincial health groups to create a tool compatible with current triage standards. The platform also includes tools for paramedics, to reduce offload times, and a redirection system that directs patients to less crowded hospitals nearby or for lower acuity patients alternative care options altogether."When we first started analyzing emergency departments, we were shocked to discover nurses had to click 64 times just to intake a single patient, we've reduced that to just four clicks" says Marina Gavrilov, CTO of EmergConnect. Hospitals say the platform reduces staff pressure by cutting out manual steps from the intake process. Hospitals use EmergConnect's tools to direct patients who do not need emergency care to nearby clinics, easing demand. Its AI-based predictions give individualized wait times, tailored to the hospital's current situation.'By eliminating manual steps and guiding non-urgent cases to nearby clinics, we're helping hospitals ease pressure on staff while ensuring patients get the right care, faster,' Galaev explains. 'Our AI doesn't just estimate wait times,it personalizes them based on what's actually happening inside the hospital.' The company raised $2 million CAD in late 2024 and plans to expand to British Columbia and Quebec. It also considers tackling problems facing the U.S. system next. 'We help hospitals solve one of the biggest day-to-day problems they face,' Galaev said. EmergConnect's leaders believe the tool will serve more hospitals seeking to improve efficiency and patient experience. Four large hospital systems already use the product, and the company says interest is growing quickly, with aims at having the majority of the Canadian healthcare system covered in the coming years. As emergency departments continue to face staffing shortages and surging demand, tools like EmergConnect are becoming part of more conversations between hospital administrators and frontline staff. About EmergConnect EmergConnect is a Canadian digital health company focused on improving same-day care through an integrated triage and registration platform. Designed for patients, nurses, paramedics, and administrators, the system helps reduce emergency room wait times, streamline intake, and improve care navigation. EmergConnect partners with hospitals across Ontario and is expanding nationally.
