An Arizona Story 140 Years in the Making

Since the first gas lamp was lit in 1886 at Central and Washington, one thing has remained constant, supporting the people and communities who call Arizona home. Over the past 140 years, life across Arizona has changed in many ways, but our state is still a place where our friends, families and neighbors live, work and play. We also have grown with the state, helping take care of the energy that powers everyday life and meaningful milestones, today and into the future.

He is looking over his shoulder toward a second horse trailing behind him, which is loaded with canvas pack bags. To the left, dominating the background, is a tall metal lattice electrical transmission tower with heavy power lines stretching across a partly cloudy sky.

Rain or shine reliability

Did you know we have dedicated meteorologists to help provide reliability no matter the weather? As part of year-round wildfire mitigation and preparedness, regular weather and wildfire related hazards are assessed to ensure robust response and readiness. Though weather conditions in the Southwest are typically hot and dry, changes such as wind patterns can be subtle and have big impacts from day-to-day. Weather awareness is essential since critical fire weather can occur at any time of year in Arizona. With monsoon season approaching, thunderstorm hazards and impacts are also evaluated using the latest technology. Prevention is a best practice that helps to keep our great state safe and running smoothly.. Learn more at aps.com/wildfires.

Let’s talk options to manage your bill

You can count on a more predictable monthly payment, no matter the time of year, with Budget Billing. Your recent energy bills are averaged to even out seasonal highs and lows and determine your monthly payment. You can also pick your Preferred Due Date based on your budget and schedule and ensure your bill is paid on time, every time when you enroll in AutoPay. See all your billing and payment options at aps.com/billingoptions.


Bird Conservation Awareness Month

The APS Avian & Wildlife Protection Program helps us ensure the safety of Arizona wildlife, including birds and a variety of mammals such as cats, squirrels, bears and more. Many bird species, especially raptors and larger perching birds, are drawn to utility poles as nesting sites. These structures mimic natural perches like cliffs or tall trees, offering birds a clear view of their surroundings and protection from ground predators. We collaborate with Liberty Wildlife to minimize avian impact across Arizona, and modify equipment as needed to help protect both the birds and the power grid. Learn more at aps.com/wildlife.
