Goals

  • Promote the deregulation of the Arizona electric industry
  • Promote competition between providers of electricity for the benefit of all Arizona consumers
  • Support legislative and regulatory action to facilitate competition for electric service
  • Promote public awareness of the benefits of a competitive market for electrical services

Guiding Principles

  • Arizona consumers generally pay more for electricity than consumers in other western states
  • Free markets and competition create incentives for suppliers to serve rather than dictate to their customers
  • A fair and competitive market does not disadvantage one supplier of electricity over another
  • Transmission and distribution of energy will remain regulated - Deregulation applies to the generation portion of the electric industry
  • Empowering consumers to choose their electric supplier will lead to lower prices, better service, and market innovations
