Item 8.01 Other Events.
Results from the November 6, 2018, general election indicate that Arizona voters rejected a ballot initiative that would have added a renewable energy requirement to the state constitution.
As previously reported, the ballot initiative would have required most Arizona utilities, including Tucson Electric Power (TEP), to generate at least 50% of their annual retail sales of electricity from renewable energy resources by 2030. TEP remains subject to Arizona’s Renewable Energy Standard and Tariff, a policy previously established by the Arizona Corporation Commission that requires regulated electric utilities to provide at least 15% of their total annual retail energy requirements from renewable energy resources by 2025.
