Thx @AZAGMayes. Corporate cowardice is spot on. @apsFYI.
APS just broke its promise to Arizonans. Abandoning clean energy goals is reckless and unacceptable. Our state is on the front lines of drought, wildfires, and extreme heat. This requires bold action, not corporate cowardice.

Hopefully, @governorhobbs now realizes what a horrible mistake it was to sign securitization legislation and give @apsfyi total freedom to run roughshod over customers, Arizona's economy and the state's future.
Dear @GovernorHobbs: Since APS is no longer about to use securitization & legislators likely realize APS duped them, we recommend a special session to repeal highly contentious law & hold stakeholder process to develop legislation that actually protects consumers. @chadcampbellAZ.

A deal to build 5 data centers in Tucson could mean higher water and energy demand in a state already stretched thin. Smart growth should prioritize clean power, conservation, and real community benefits. #AZcleanenergy #Tucson #SustainableGrowth.

Tucson Electric Power will likely need to build a new natural gas plant to serve the second big data center complex planned for Project Blue, a spokesman said this week.

The need for strong data center policy grows stronger; "We can’t afford to get this wrong. " says WRA. "there is significant risk residential customers will be on the hook for higher energy bills" and progress on decarbonization lost. #CleanUpXcel.

Ratepayers might be on the hook for excess costs in @XcelEnergyCO's new power plan. Will we see massive subsidies for data centers while residential rates soar? The Colorado PUC must act to protect consumers. More info: #CleanUpXcel.

Xcel Energy-Colorado has a blueprint for closing its coal facilities. Critics say the plan could drive up customers’ bills.

Kudos to @copirg for shedding light on the monster expansion plan that @XcelEnergyCO is proposing and how consumers could be stuck with a likely multi-billion $ tab for new resources that might not even be needed. #CleanUpXcel.

The consumer advocacy group is concerned that if the utility company builds more than they need, customers will be stuck paying more on their utility bill to cover the cost.

It's happening worldwide, and meanwhile, as the world moves forward, Trump is taking the U.S. two steps backward. So much for energy dominance, more like energy diminishment.
A landmark moment for Polish clean energy!. For the first time, renewables generated more electricity than coal in June. While coal still provided ~60% of Poland's power in 2024, this is a huge step in their energy transition. The trend is clear: the future is clean.

From Wyo., which will feel the bite of the Big Bloated Bill's higher energy rates: “The bottom line is, we need a lot of electricity generation developed over the next 10 years . wind & solar & [energy] storage are really ready to do that.” @DBleizeffer.
wyofile.com
The accelerated phaseout of wind and solar energy tax credits could raise rates in Wyoming by an average 29%, according to one consumer group.

How much new fossil gas does @TriStateGT need to serve its members? Zero, according to its own data, which is why it's so crazy it wants to build a gas plant with a price tag nearly $300 million more expensive than #cleanenergy and battery options alone.

Tri-State G&T wants a new 307-megawatt gas plant at Craig. Conservation coalition says it's costly and unneeded.

Yes, let's hobble one of the bright spots of the economy. The sad irony being that of the nearly $15.5 billion in #cleanenergy factories and projects canceled since the beginning of the year, the majority were slated for GOP congressional districts.

Nearly $15.5 billion in clean energy investments have been canceled since the beginning of the year, representing 30 canceled, closed or downsized projects.

If $194M rate increase – 14% - doesn’t get you angry, @TEPenergy also wants annual rate adjustments. This method puts future increases on autopilot. Will @CorpCommAZ step in to protect consumers? Or will it protect TEP's bottom line? @TucsonStar

There is nothing big or beautiful about efforts to bring back coal, an outdated and costly fuel that has done irreparable harm to the health and resources of Navajo and other tribal communities. @DineCare.

Coal continues to destroy the Navajo Nation's health, land, air and water. The last thing we need is for Trump to revive the industry.

Here's what executive orders to boost coal look like on the ground: if forced to stay open, operation of the Cholla coal plant in AZ would cost customers an extra $2 BILLION. Thank you @CorpCommAZ Commissioner @votekthompson for the dose of reality.
