Phoenix, Ariz. –  The Arizona Corporation Commission will host an Integrated Resource Planning Workshop on Wednesday, July 31, 2024, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.  The purpose of the workshop is to provide regulated electric utilities an opportunity to present to the Commission and stakeholders an overview of their IRP’s including expected resource portfolios, planned procurement, and other key elements of their IRP’s.  The IRP’s must propose how they will meet reliability, stability, and affordability goals over the next 15 years, given the expected rapid growth of customers’ energy needs.  Arizona Public Service Company (APS), Tucson Electric Power Company (TEP) and UNS Electric (UNSE), and Arizona Electric Power Cooperative, Inc. (AEPCO) are scheduled to deliver presentations and answer questions on their IRP’s.  Stakeholders such as Arizona Solar Energy Industries Association (AriSEIA) and Southwest Energy Efficiency Project (SWEEP) will also deliver presentations on their assessments of the IRP’s and take questions.

Three or more Commissioners may attend for consideration and discussion, but no votes will be taken.  Other decision makers including Commissioners; advisors and administrative law judges may also attend the workshop.  There will not be an opportunity for public comments during the workshop, however, public comments may be filed to eDocket in this matter.  Resource Planning Advisory Council (RPAC) members will be allowed to ask clarifying, specific questions only during the workshop and may not provide commentary.
