Republicans Nick Myers and Kevin Thompson and Democrats Sandra Kennedy and Lauren Kuby give their positions on issues for the Corporation Commission.
The Arizona Republic sent policy questions to candidates running for the Arizona Corporation Commission to help voters understand their views as they relate to this important state office.
The Corporation Commission sets rates and policies for utilities like Arizona Public Service Co. It also oversees pipeline safety, railroad crossings, securities investments and other duties.Question: It's already established that the Democrats in this race believe in setting renewable energy requirements for utilities while the Republicans oppose such mandates.
We have more than enough proof, solar should be the centerpiece of our energy system complemented by energy storage and wind, with existing nuclear and natural gas filling in gaps as storage technologies develop. We also must reassert Arizona’s leadership position on energy efficiency that we have lost in recent years.
Q: Arizona has approximately 300 small water companies and they often get into financial trouble and need to increase rates dramatically to address needed repairs. Is there a solution to these small water company problems that Corporation Commissioners can enact?The majority of utility rate cases that come before the Commission involve setting non-municipal water rates and establishing rules and regulations for their operation.
Kevin and Nick recognize that this current process does not serve our smaller companies well, and that it has resulted in many utilities experiencing upwards of 45% water losses across their systems.
For our Indigenous and rural communities to thrive, the Corporation Commission should have a process that governs utilities when they shutter coal plants. A “Just and Equitable Transition” should be part of any plant decommissioning process, and we need utility and state investment for those communities suffering disruptions from plant closure.
The over reliance on renewables in those states has created an unreliable and unstable electrical grid. Power from intermittent sources such as renewables needs storage solutions to make them more viable so that our grid remains stable. California currently produces 65% of its electricity from renewables as the result of their renewable energy mandates — and that comes at a high price.
