Arizona is growing fast - and that growth depends on energy that works.
Reliable. Affordable. Ready when demand rises.

Arizona’s approach is delivering.

Arizona’s energy system is being built to keep up with rapid growth and deliver when demand is highest.

Utilities across the state have committed to more than $4 billion in near-term infrastructure investments to expand capacity, strengthen the grid, and ensure power is available when it is needed most.

That investment helps power what matters most by keeping businesses running, supporting critical industries, and ensuring families have reliable energy during extreme heat and peak demand.

By building ahead of growth, Arizona is maintaining a system that can deliver reliable, affordable energy today and into the future.

Energy costs are shaped by the choices states make.

In some states, electricity rates are now more than double Arizona’s—putting added pressure on families and businesses.

Arizona has taken a more balanced approach.

The state has more renewable capacity than California and fewer intermittent resources than Texas, helping avoid the cost volatility that can come from overreliance on any one source. That balance helps keep energy costs more stable, more predictable, and better aligned with long-term growth.

A reliable, affordable energy system supports job creation and workforce growth by enabling businesses to expand, invest, and hire with confidence. From construction and skilled trades to long-term infrastructure roles, energy investment helps drive employment across multiple sectors.

It also supports small businesses across the state, where stable energy costs can make the difference between growth and strain. Restaurants, retailers, and service providers rely on predictable energy to manage expenses, keep operations running, and serve their communities.

At the same time, energy powers key industries like manufacturing and data centers, which depend on consistent, high-volume electricity to operate. These industries are driving Arizona’s economic growth and require a system that can deliver reliable power at scale.

Arizona’s all-of-the-above approach is keeping energy affordable, strengthening reliability, and supporting continued growth—but that progress depends on informed voices.

X: Arizona ranks top 3 in the nation for grid reliability. Fewer disruptions. More reliable power. Greater stability for families and businesses. That’s the difference a strong energy system makes. Arizona is doing it better.

LinkedIn/FB: States are taking very different approaches to energy - and the results show.

Some are facing higher costs or increased strain on their systems as demand rises. Others are taking a more balanced approach to keep power reliable and costs more stable. Arizona stands out.

Arizona has more nuclear and less intermittent resources on its grid than both California and Texas. That balanced mix helps deliver reliable power - even as demand continues to grow.

Different choices lead to different outcomes.  Arizona’s approach is delivering.

X: States are taking different approaches to energy - and it shows. Some face higher costs or system strain. Arizona has focused on balance and planning - ranking near the top for reliability. Different approach. Better results for Arizonans.

LinkedIn/FB: Reliable energy starts with the right foundation. Arizona’s system works because it’s built on balance.

Nuclear energy provides reliable, around-the-clock power, while natural gas adds flexibility to meet demand when it rises. That combination helps keep the grid stable—even during extreme conditions or periods of rapid growth. States that rely too heavily on one approach can face more strain and volatility.

Arizona’s balanced system is helping avoid those risks. That’s why it ranks among the most reliable in the country.
