Arizona Utility Rate Assistance
- Most of the state's major utilities offer rate discounts.
The specifics of the programs varies by utility; however, they
all offer a declining block discount structure, with the customer
receiving a smaller percentage discount as their monthly usage
passes certain kWh thresholds. In addition to a general residential
discount, called residential energy support, some utilities offer
a low-income seniors' discount rate, and medical life support
rate. The rate structure of the largest utility, Arizona Public
Service, is typical: for monthly usage of 0-400 kWh, the discount
is 30 percent; 401-800 kWh = 20 percent; 801-1200 = 10 percent,
1201 kWh and up = $10.00
