Officials on Monday questioned Arizona Public Service Co. regarding its plans to increase its use of natural-gas-fueled power plants to meet energy demands, saying they are concerned prices could increase and put utility customers at risk.
APS officials presented the company’s long-term resource plan to the regulators at the Arizona Corporation Commission. The plan broadly outlines how APS will meet energy demands in its utility territory for the next 15 years, and calls for substantial increases in the amount of power the state’s largest utility gets from natural-gas plants.
