Rising electric bills in Arizona are ultimately controlled by a small group of elected regulators at the ACC who decide when and how much utilities can raise rates. These officials approve electricity prices, decide which companies can charge more, and set the timing for increases that show up on monthly bills.
Customers frustrated with skyrocketing monthly power bills should focus their energy on influencing those regulators rather than only blaming the power companies. By following the ACC's decisions, speaking up in official proceedings, and voting with this in mind, Arizonans can hold regulators accountable to ratepayers and our wallets.
