Learn about the public pricing process

How SRP establishes electric prices

SRP is a political subdivision of the State of Arizona, and our price process is not governed by the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC). Our publicly elected Board of Directors has the authority to establish electric prices.

The Board reviews and decides on any proposed changes to SRP's price plans after providing notice to customers and offering them the opportunity to provide their feedback.

How the Board decides on prices 

These are the pricing principles the Board follows when making pricing decisions:

• Cost relation: Prices need to reflect the cost of service.

• Sufficiency: Prices need to maintain SRP's financial health.

• Gradualism: Changes should be evolutionary, not revolutionary (so as to avoid large price adjustments).

• Equity: Customers should pay their share of the costs we incur on their behalf.

• Choice: Pricing options should be provided to help customers manage their energy costs.

How we’re keeping prices low

SRP is a community-based, nonprofit utility. That means we make decisions based on what’s best for our customers, the environment and the communities we serve. The revenues we receive through the sale of electricity are reinvested into the electric grid, which helps us keep our prices among the lowest in the Southwest.

At SRP, we do our part to control costs, which helps us keep prices down for our customers. As financial market opportunities arise, we refinance debt at lower interest rates to lower overall interest expenses. We make capital investment decisions on key assets, like generating stations, which results in lower costs. At the same time, we’re planning for future energy needs and working toward a more sustainable energy mix. We also work hard to operate and maintain the electric grid as cost-effectively and reliably as possible.

We offer a variety of price plans so you can choose the one that best fits your budget and lifestyle. Compare price plans here.
