Join Arizona Interfaith Power and Light leaders on Thursday, December 4 at 1:00 PM at the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) public hearing regarding their proposal to repeal Energy Efficiency (EE) Standards.
Showing up in-person for the hearing shows the ACC that you are paying attention and care about Arizona's energy future. If you are concerned about climate change and energy efficiency, we encourage you to testify during these hearings for the public, Dec. 2 and 4 (details below).
If those dates don't work for you, scroll down for information on submitting a comment online or by phone before the comment deadline on December 4.
The EE standards say that utilities have to offer energy saving rebates and assistance to their customers. The benefits include lower utility bills, reduced waste, and improved grid reliability and are critical for Arizona’s energy future. This recommendation comes on the heels of the proposal to repeal Renewable Energy Standards (REST), APS abandonment of clean energy goals, and requests for rate increases for both APS and TEP ratepayers.
This decision by the ACC prioritizes utility profit at the risk of reduced grid reliability, higher energy costs for families, and lost jobs for Arizonans, who are already struggling with high costs of living.
This is your chance to make your voice heard!
