It just never ends for the long suffering customers of Arizona Public Service.
It’s bad enough that APS stacked the Corporation Commission, filling it in 2014 and 2016 with its preferred regulators who then rubber stamped a rate increase in 2017.
Bad enough that APS charges more per kilowatt hour than virtually every other electric utility in Arizona.
Bad enough that APS has been collecting millions more from its captive customers than what was authorized by its puppet regulators and now wants yet another rate increase.
Now comes word that the utility has been steering customers to rate plans that suck even more money out of their pockets.
