What it means for your bill
$
APS is asking for a 16.44 percent residential increase, widely reported as about 20 dollars a month for a typical household. The same filing proposes a new extra high load factor class for data centers with a 47 percent class increase, meant to stop residential customers from subsidizing data center growth. Evidentiary hearings concluded in July 2026; the Administrative Law Judge is expected to issue a recommendation by late November 2026, and the Arizona Corporation Commission must vote by December 31, 2026, with new rates possible in early 2027 if approved.
