In Arizona, electricity isn't just another utility bill; it's a critical survival tool. Our sweltering summers can reach beyond 115°F, making air conditioning not a luxury, but an essential life-support system. For thousands of families, being able to affordably power their homes isn’t merely a comfort—it's a matter of health and safety.

Unfortunately, the current policies of the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) are putting unnecessary financial strain on residents. Punitive 'solar taxes' and demand charges are imposed on those who have chosen to invest in solar and battery systems for their homes. These charges disincentivize the use of clean energy and create barriers for residents who simply want to reduce their electricity bills and increase their energy independence.

By reforming these policies, we can empower Arizonans to make environmentally and financially beneficial choices for their households. Allowing residential energy choice means that individuals can decide the best way to power their homes, which aligns with their personal values, financial situations, and environmental responsibilities.

Moreover, removing these detrimental charges will encourage more households to invest in renewable energy solutions, contributing to a cleaner environment and a healthier community. Arizona has one of the highest solar potentials in the country, and we should be leaders in harnessing this resource rather than placing hurdles in the way.

Arizona families deserve the freedom to utilize their own solar and battery power without facing punitive financial barriers. By adjusting the policies of the ACC, we can support efforts to move towards a more sustainable future for our state.

Please sign this petition and urge the Arizona Corporation Commission to reform its policies and allow for true residential energy choice. We need to abolish 'solar taxes' and demand charges to help residents embrace sustainable energy and protect their right to control utility costs. Your support is crucial for making this change possible.
