Arizona Public Service Customers Set to Receive Summer Refunds
Good News for APS Customers
Summer is about to get a little cooler for Arizona Public Service (APS) customers! In an exciting turn of events, the Arizona Corporation Commission has approved the return of $52 million in uncommitted surcharge funds. This means customers can expect some refreshing relief on their upcoming bills — hello, bill credits!
What to Expect in Your Grocery and Energy Bills
Summer Bill Credits Breakdown
Mark your calendars! APS customers will see a total of approximately $23 credited to their accounts over the course of July and August. This small but significant refund is likely to be a welcome sight on your billing statements as temperatures continue to rise.
How Did This Happen?
The surcharges in question stem from two key programs: the Demand Side Management Adjustment Charge (DSMAC) and the Renewable Energy Adjustment Charge (REAC). These programs were designed to fund initiatives that encourage energy efficiency, reduce peak demand, and enhance the integration of renewable energy sources. According to the Arizona Corporation Commission, these measures are essential for a sustainable energy future.
Why Should You Care?
Financial Benefits of Energy Efficiency Programs
The refund reflects not only a return of surplus funds but also underscores the positive impact of energy efficiency programs. Less energy consumption means lower bills, especially during peak summer months when air conditioning usage soars. As you enjoy your summer activities, you can take comfort in knowing that your energy costs are being effectively managed.
Moreover, this is a great time to consider additional energy-efficient measures for your home. From smart thermostats to energy-efficient appliances, investing in these options can provide even greater savings throughout the year.

While this summer’s credits are great news, it’s crucial to stay informed about potential future adjustments to your energy surcharges. Follow local news outlets and stay connected with APS for the latest updates on energy efficiency programs and further savings opportunities.
