Obscure Election Could Dictate the Future of Renewables in Arizona

"State residents are voting for three seats on the Arizona Corporation Commission, which has come under scrutiny for its continued support of fossil fuels and resistance to supporting more solar in the state."

"PHOENIX — Approval of the construction of two gas power plants without public comment.

Another’s expansion approved without an environmental review.

New fees for homeowners with rooftop solar that the Arizona attorney general has called “discriminatory” and “unconstitutional.”

Approval of an 8 percent rate increase for customers of Arizona’s largest utility, largely to cover the costs of expanding its grid despite the availability of cheaper options.

The gutting of the utility’s plan to provide financial support for communities impacted by the closures of coal-fired power plants.

And all of that in just the past year."
