The Arizona Corporation Commission is an elected body of 5 individuals. It is responsible for setting rates for utilities and for guiding Arizona’s overall energy policy: decisions that directly impact what you pay, regulate energy, and set the profit levels that these companies can earn.

APS & TEP Rate Case Comment Submissions
While the Arizona Corporation has concluded its public comment meetings in person and via telephone and has moved into the next phase of both the APS and TEP rate cases, you can still submit comments via the ACC online portal.
Southwest Gas Corporation Rate Case
Southwest Gas Corporation is currently asking the Arizona Corporation Commission to raise its rates, seek an approximately $101 million annual revenue increase, request a 10.25% proposed return on equity, and implement a new annual rate-adjustment mechanism. If approved, this could mean an additional $60 paid annually on consumer bills, and the annual rate adjustment would allow Southwest Gas to increase rates in the future with less oversight from the ACC.
There are several public comment hearings scheduled to attend in person, by phone, or submit a written comment to voice your opinion on Southwest Gas’s requests.
