The state’s top utility regulator, Arizona Corporation Commission Chairman Bob Stump, wants electric companies to explain whether they are prepared to defend the electric grid against terrorist attacks.

The concern is prompted by an attack last April on an electrical substation in California. For 19 minutes, gunmen opened fire on the facility near San Jose and knocked out 17 transformers. Nobody was caught in the incident. Pacific Gas and Electric prevented a blackout by rerouting power.
