Arizona Corporation Commission Approves 8% Rate Hike for APS Rooftop Solar Customers
Arizona Public Service Co. has been approved to increase the average monthly bill for residential customers by $10 to $12, with an additional $2.50 to $3 fee for those with rooftop solar systems. The decision by the Arizona Corporation Commission has sparked criticism, with requests for reconsideration and calls for utility executives to provide sworn testimony on the projected impact of the rate hike. The rate increase is aimed at recouping infrastructure expansion expenses and ensuring reliable service, but critics argue that it unfairly targets solar customers and lacks comprehensive data analysis.
