Overview
This bill updates Arizona’s laws regarding utilities and high load factor customers. It requires public power entities and electric public service corporations to report semiannually on new customers with high load factors, including interconnection requests and completions. The bill also allows the Arizona Corporation Commission and governing bodies of public power entities to suspend these reporting requirements if no new high load factor customers are added for two consecutive six-month periods, and establishes rules for service terms to extra high load factor customers. Finally, it mandates cost-of-service studies to analyze the costs associated with serving these customers.
