Tell the Arizona Corporation Commission not to charge a Grid Access fee

Arizona Public Service (APS) utility is raising rates again. And this is on top of an unfair Grid Access Charge that they force solar owners to pay.
Right now, people with an average solar panel system are being forced to pay roughly $80 per year just to have solar.
But we can change this! Recently, the independent judge overseeing the case considering APS’ proposal found NO evidence that solar customers increase costs to other ratepayers. In fact, we all know that solar customers pay more than their share of actual system costs.
Right now, the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) is considering changes to the rate structure for solar owners, and Commissioner Kennedy has introduced an amendment to the order that would remove this discriminatory Grid Access Charge.
You can help people with solar save money, and encourage even more people to go solar here in Arizona.
Let the ACC know that solar customers shouldn’t be charged discriminatory fees.

The Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) is an elected, five-member board. It sets rules for our state’s electric system. Commissioners are considering expanding Arizona’s Renewable Energy Standard and Tariff (REST) to 100% carbon free electricity by 2050. Under the current REST, only 15% of the electricity sold in the state must come from renewable energy sources by 2025.
This is a huge opportunity for the state to transition to a clean energy future. The 100% standard will deliver broad economic benefits. It will drive new investment in the state.
These clean energy rules include a first-of-its-kind distributed energy storage target. They also include a strong energy efficiency standard and a more transparent utility planning processes.
If Commissioners adopt this proposal, it would be a tremendous milestone for the state. And it would be an important step toward addressing the climate crisis.
Local, rooftop solar should play a significant role in achieving this goal. Rooftop solar helps make our grid more resilient. It allows families to take control of their energy bills by making choices that best suit their needs. The Commission needs to hear strong public support for the 100% carbon free goal. This will ensure this new plan supports local resilient clean energy solutions, like rooftop solar.
