The Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) voted 3-2 to officially take a neutral position on House legislation that would strip some authority from the stateâs elected board, which regulates Arizonaâs investor-owned electric utilities, on Friday.
If enacted, the bill would undo a large portion of the stateâs proposed clean energy rules that will require electric utilities to be 100% carbon-free by 2050. The rules are in the last stages of being finalized by the Commission.
