Arizona utility regulators vote to kill renewable standards
February 8, 2024
Let the market dictate how utilities do business. That was the message from Arizona utility regulators on Tuesday after they voted to begin the process of repealing the state’s energy efficiency and renewable standards.
Solar industry advocates expressed disbelief, saying while most states are expanding their renewable standards, Arizona is the only state they know of scrapping them altogether. Commissioners said the mandates had either served their purpose or were unnecessarily burdening ratepayers with extra costs.
