About electricity rates in Arizona
Arizona's electricity is supplied by regulated utilities, with no retail choice for households. Arizona Public Service is the largest investor-owned utility and Tucson Electric Power serves the Tucson area, both overseen by the elected Arizona Corporation Commission. Much of metropolitan Phoenix is served instead by Salt River Project, a public power utility whose rates are set by its own elected board, and electric cooperatives serve rural areas.
The Palo Verde plant west of Phoenix is one of the largest nuclear stations in the country, and it is complemented by natural gas, a shrinking coal fleet and fast-growing solar. Extreme summer heat makes air-conditioning the dominant load, so time-of-use plans with high late-afternoon prices are common. Rooftop solar is widespread, although newer systems are credited for exported power at a rate below the full retail price rather than under traditional net metering.
