We’ve written quite a bit about the APS Rate Case since it was introduced in June 2016. In that time, we’ve witnessed and even participated in numerous debates over the requested rate changes and their impact on Arizona solar customers.
But the final fate of APS’ Rate Case ultimately lies with the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC). Their vote will ultimately dictate which requested changes become reality and when. The ACC is expected to vote on the rate case in August, although it has not officially been placed on the agenda at the time of this blog.
In a recent report from AZcentral.com, titled: APS rate case: 10 Things to Know Ahead of Arizona Regulators' Vote, reporter Ryan Randazzo does an excellent job summarizing the details surrounding the vote. We’ve included a short list of highlights below, but I strongly encourage anyone interested to read the complete story here.
While we’re not yet certain how many of APS’ changes will ultimately pass the vote, there’s little doubt that the numerous rate changes are coming soon. With that said, customers who apply to interconnect a solar array to their home before the regulators vote will likely be grandfathered into today’s rates for the next 20 years. So, if you’ve been considering solar, contact us to find out how to lock in today’s APS rates before the window closes.
These are just the highlights we thought were the most compelling to solar customers. Ryan covers the whole issue in much greater detail in his article.
