Energy Costs

Keeping the cost of energy down and economic growth up.

Over the last 25 years (1992-2017), our rates have increased an average of 0.9% for commercial and 1.3% for industrial despite 2.8% inflation.  Keeping energy affordable and costs stable for existing, start-up and relocating businesses helps Arizona thrive.
