A lot of noise is being stirred up by mysterious groups to oppose the Arizona Corporation Commission’s consideration of reforms creating consumer choice and competition among electricity retailers and producers. One of them is the Arizona Power Consumers Coalition (“Electricity deregulation should be left in past,” Opinions, Aug. 5).
Don’t be fooled by the name. This “consumers coalition” is actually a front group for the utility monopolies — Arizona Public Service Co., Salt River Project and Tucson Electric Power — who own Arizona’s electricity market and want to keep it for themselves.
