Exhibit 10.32

Avista Corporation

Non-Employee Director Compensation

(effective September 1, 2011)

Prior to September 1, 2011, directors who were not employees of the Company
received an annual retainer of $98,000, of which a minimum of $30,000 was paid
in Company common stock. Directors were also paid $1,500 for each meeting of the
Board or any Committee meeting of the Board. Directors who served as Board
Committee Chairs received an additional $5,000 annual retainer, with the
exception of the Audit Committee Chair, who received an additional $10,000
annual retainer. The Lead Director received an additional annual retainer of
$15,000.

In addition, any non-employee director who served as director of a subsidiary of
the Company received from the Company a meeting fee of $1,500 for each
subsidiary Board meeting the director attended. Directors Anderson, Blake and
Kelly hold Board positions with a subsidiary of the Company.

Each year, the Governance Committee reviews all components of directors’
compensation. During 2011, the Governance Committee engaged Towers Watson to
assist in this review. The information provided by Towers Watson is used to
compare the Company’s current director compensation with peer companies in the
utility industry and general industry companies of similar size. The companies
comprising the Director Peer Group are those companies in the S&P Utility
Mid-Cap, as well as NorthWestern Energy, Northwest Natural Gas Company, and
Portland General Electric Company.

At the Board’s August 12, 2011 meeting, survey results from Towers Watson were
reviewed regarding current pay practices for director compensation. Although the
Company has historically targeted compensation for non-employee directors at the
50th percentile of their utility peer group, the survey indicated that Avista
director compensation was below the average. Therefore, the Board approved an
increase in the director’s annual retainers as of September 1, 2011. Directors
who are not employees of the Company now receive an annual retainer of $116,000,
of which a minimum of $48,000 is paid in Company common stock. An annual
retainer of $5,000 was established for any non-employee director who serves as
director of a subsidiary of the Company. An additional meeting fee of $1,500 for
each subsidiary Committee meeting that the director attends was also
established.

Each director is entitled to reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with meetings of the Board or its Committees and related
activities, including director education courses and materials. These expenses
include travel to and from the meetings, as well as any expenses they incur
while attending the meetings.

The Company has a minimum stock ownership expectation for all Board members.
Directors are now expected to achieve a minimum investment of $236,000 or 11,000
shares, whichever is less, in Company common stock within four years of their
becoming Board members and are expected to retain at least that level of
investment during their tenure as Board members. Shares that have previously
been deferred under the former Non-Employee Director Stock Plan count for
purposes of determining whether a director has achieved the ownership
expectation.

The ownership expectation illustrates the Board’s philosophy of the importance
of stock ownership for directors to further strengthen the commonality of
interest between the Board and shareholders. The Governance Committee annually
reviews director holdings to determine whether they meet ownership expectations.
All directors currently comply based on their years of service completed on the
Board.

There were no annual stock option grants or non-stock incentive plan
compensation payments to directors for services in 2011 and none are currently
contemplated under the current compensation structure. The Company also does not
provide a retirement plan or deferred compensation plan to its directors.
