Arizona Corporation Commission - Article 15 of the Arizona Constitution establishes the Arizona Corporation Commission. Only 7 states have constitutionally formed Commissions. Arizona is one of only 13 states with elected Commissioners. In the 37 other states, Commissioners are appointed by either the governor or the legislature. In most states, the Commission is known as the Public Service Commission or the Public Utility Commission. Our Commission, however, has responsibilities that go beyond traditional public utilities regulation. These additional roles include facilitating the incorporation of businesses and organizations, securities regulation and railroad/pipeline safety.  By virtue of the Arizona Constitution, the Commissioners function in an Executive capacity, they adopt rules and regulations thereby functioning in a Legislative capacity, and they also act in a Judicial capacity sitting as a tribunal and making decisions in contested matters. The Commission is required by the Arizona Constitution to maintain its chief office in Phoenix and it is required by law to conduct monthly meetings.  Website.  Member of the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (CECC) - Energy - Reliability Page.

 

Arizona Electric Power Cooperative (AEPCO) - is headquartered in Benson, Ariz., about 50 miles southeast of Tucson. Its generation facility, Apache Station, is located in Cochise, Ariz., near Willcox. Apache Station generates 520 megawatts of electric energy for its cooperative members, which are located throughout Arizona and California.  AEPCO was originally founded in 1961 to meet the energy needs of rural southeastern Arizona. AEPCO was restructured in 1999 in response to the deregulation of the electric utility industry in Arizona. Until that time, AEPCO was responsible for both the generation and transmission of its electric energy. After deregulation, these functions were split into the following separate organizations: Sierra Southwest Cooperative Services is responsible for retail sales as well as most of the staffing needs of AEPCO and Southwest Transmission; Southwest Transmission Cooperative operates and maintains a power delivery system that includes 580 miles of transmission line, ranging from 69 kilovolts to 345 kilovolts, and Arizona Electric Power remains the organization responsible for generation of electric energy. It generates power for its member cooperatives.  Website.  Member of the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (CECC) - Energy - Reliability Page.

 

(The) Arizona Power Authority  - a body corporate and politic of Arizona, was formed as a result of federal legislation (Boulder Canyon Project Act of 1928) that allocated a portion of power produced from the Boulder Canyon Project (Hoover Dam and Power Plant). The Arizona Power Authority was delegated the responsible entity for acquiring and marketing Arizona's share of Hoover power by the state of Arizona's Legislature in 1944.
