Good overview of the excess profit story...

The artificial intelligence boom is leading to fights in some states over growing utility profits. Governors, attorneys general and others are protesting rising electricity bills and say cash-strapped residents are stuck in a broken system.

One look at the proposed APS rate hike – this one focuses on data centers which is only part of the story. Excess shareholder profit is the other big story.

An attorney for APS says the proposed rate design will protect homeowners from costs incurred by data centers.

We hope you can join us this Thursday evening!

Join us in the S'ed̲av Va'aki Community Room on May 28, 2026 from 6:00PM to 7:30 PM for the Phoenix premiere of Ways of Knowing, an immersive documentary redefining nuclear history with Navajo perspectives. Co-hosted with Arizona Interfaith Power and Light.

𝗪𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 is an immersive short documentary about Navajo resilience to protect health, tradition, and land after enduring extensive uranium mining by the United States, leaving abandoned mines and other nuclear legacy sites containing toxic waste. This film challenges us to think differently about our relationship with land, and illuminates a path towards hope and healing.

Join us after the screening for a Q&A session with the film's executive director Sunny Dooley!

From 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm, enjoy our Thursday Evening reduced museum admission.

"These are really cheap sources of energy, and they're abundant" ⚡ 50% of NM's electricity; half of CO's; 1/3 of WY's... WAIT - just 20% of AZ's electricity? WHAT? 😟

Wind and solar power are rapidly expanding across the Mountain West, with some states now generating a significant share of their electricity from renewable sources, according to a new report from Climate Central, a nonpartisan research group.

“…if a utility’s sales are less than expected or their expenses are higher than expected, they get to charge you more, essentially eliminating any incentive to control costs…”
You’ve heard us say it; now read a takedown of formula rates by Arizona PIRG's Diane Brown. Then tell the AZ Corporation Commission what you think of APS’s and TEP’s proposals to enact formula rates!

Formula-based utility rates without guardrails to protect consumers mean a windfall for utility companies. Rates can now rise faster and more often.

Several of those who testified at the TEP Rate Case Hearing are AZIPL friends, telling the story of people struggling to cover household bills. Instead of asking for a 10.5% return for shareholders, TEP should prioritize people over profits.

Residents are voicing their concerns over TEP's request for 14% rate increase.
