Today, Attorney General Kris Mayes’ intervention into the application filed by the Arizona Public Services (APS) to increase electric rates by more than 14% was granted by the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) and allowed to move forward.

“Arizonans are already feeling squeezed by sky-high electric bills and now APS is trying to jack them up even further. Giving APS another rate increase, after making more than $600 million in net income last year, is outrageous and I will not stand for it.” said Attorney General Kris Mayes. “APS has a monopoly and should not be allowed to exploit that monopoly on the backs of Arizona consumers.”
