AG Mayes today issued the following statement in response to the Arizona Corporation Commission’s denial of the applications submitted for a rehearing on Docket No. E-01933A-25-0187 (TEP Energy Supply Agreement Decision with Beale Infrastructure Group/Project Blue): 

“The ACC did not respond to my office’s very serious allegations that the energy supply contract they approved enables TEP and a data center developer to set their own rate. All they offered was this conclusory statement that the ESA is great. If that is the case, why is the agreement full of redactions? Why didn’t they hold a full hearing or allow intervenors like the City of Tucson to cross-examine TEP, so the assumptions they are accepting without question can be examined and tested? What are they afraid of?” – AG Mayes
