Arizona Corporation Commission utility regulators decided that the Arizona Public Service Company will not need to reverse its controversial $95 million rate hike that affected 1 million customers in 2017.

However, they also will not dismiss a complaint about the rate hike brought forward by Phoenix resident Stacey Champion. And Arizona Corporation Commission regulators are continuing to dig into APS’s rates.

The Arizona Republic’s Ryan Randazzo talked about what is happening and what could be next.
