Our Purpose
Arizonans for Responsible Growth supports the low-tax, business-friendly environment and sound energy and water policies that have led to Arizona’s rise as an economic leader.
Today, our state’s success faces a serious threat as extreme environmental groups seek to gain control of the Arizona Corporation Commission and Salt River Project Board and Council. Their misguided agenda would burden customers with higher rates, compromise reliability, and stall Arizona’s economic momentum.
Protecting Arizona’s future requires us to stand against these harmful efforts while supporting leaders dedicated to reliable, affordable energy policies.
Companies like APS and SRP are at the core of Arizona’s sustainable growth. Their ability to operate free of special interest influences is essential to maintaining our state’s economic strength and exceptional quality of life.
Our Issues
Keeping Costs Down
The affordability of utilities directly shapes the quality of life that Arizona residents and businesses experience. Our coalition is focused on working with utility companies to keep rates affordable.
Grid Reliability
A strong, stable grid is essential for Arizona’s future growth and success. Investing in infrastructure, upgrading technology, and ensuring proper oversight help prevent blackouts and brownouts while keeping the grid functioning during our hot summers. Our state’s grid is one of the most reliable in the nation.
Diverse Energy Portfolio
A diverse mix of energy sources—natural gas, nuclear, solar, wind, and more—protects against price spikes and supply disruptions. This approach strengthens Arizona’s energy future while keeping costs low.
Long-Term Planning
The energy and water decisions we make today will impact future generations and Arizona’s long-term competitiveness. By implementing strategic, forward-thinking policies, we can ensure our state has the power to grow, adapt to new technologies, protect ratepayers, and continue thriving as a top destination for residents and businesses.
Arizona’s Power Generation Mix
Arizona’s grid is one of the most reliable in the nation and experienced no major power outages during the historic heatwave in 2024 despite record electricity use.
Arizona utilities are responsibly deploying a diverse energy mix—including coal, natural gas, nuclear, hydroelectric, solar, and wind to meet unprecedented power demands.
