Utility regulators voted Tuesday to set hearings that could lead to a vote on higher fees for Arizona Public Service Co. customers who install solar, but only after an analysis of the costs and benefits of rooftop panels.
The regulators split 3-2 on the matter.
APS, the state Residential Utility Consumer Office and other utility supporters hoped the five elected Arizona Corporation Commission members would raise the fees that solar customers pay to an average of $21 from about $5 today.
