Price hike

Since when can a utility get a 25 percent rate increase from a Corporation Committee without any real public outcry or pushback?

EPCOR Fountain Hills Arizona’s rate for me jumped 25 percent in June 2019! Did all their employees get a raise of 25 percent? Of course not. But I am sure EPCOR justified the rate increases through “infrastructure financial-engineering.”

Guess the Arizona Corporation Commission does not care about their re-election chances.
