APS :: Commitment to Renewable Energy

With energy needs of customers expected to be 50 percent higher in 2025 than they are today, APS is planning to accelerate the amount of renewable energy in its generation portfolio.

Over the next 15-20 years, Arizona's largest and longest serving energy service provider is expected to add more than 1,600 megawatts of renewable resources -- enough to power 400,000 homes.
