Today, Attorney General Kris Mayes issued the following statement opposing the Arizona Corporation Commission’s (ACC) vote to initiate the rulemaking process to repeal Arizona’s Electric Energy Efficiency Standard Rules (EEES Rules).  

“If Arizona removes this key consumer protection and economic policy, electricity bills will go up and the power grid could become less reliable as a result,” said Attorney General Mayes, “Now more than ever, Arizona’s monopoly utilities must answer to policies that cut costs and protect families. By pushing this repeal, the ACC is turning its back on the very ratepayers it’s meant to serve.”
