Tucson Electric Power Customers to See Summer Savings for Second Year
Tucson Electric Power announced it will be reducing average residential bills by more than $4 per month beginning this summer, thanks to a reduction in a surcharge that reflects recent energy costs.
Lower fuel and purchased power costs allowed TEP to boost the Purchased Power and Fuel Adjustment Charge credit, a change that was approved by the Arizona Corporation Commission in March. It’s the second year in a row that a change in the surcharge benefited customers just before summer.
Actual bill impacts will vary depending on energy usage. Residential customers with typical summer usage will see bill reductions of about $6 this summer, with lower savings in months with cooler weather.
“We’re pleased to pass along savings to help reduce the cost of keeping comfortable during Tucson’s hot summers,” said Susan Gray, TEP’s president and CEO.
TEP is always working to reduce the energy costs passed along to customers through a responsible hedging policy that mitigates market volatility. We also work hard to reduce other costs to ensure that our service remains as affordable as possible without compromising on safety or reliability.
Despite lower energy costs, increased energy usage will still drive bills higher than they have been during cooler months. The surcharge will be reset again in March 2026.
TEP offers many ways to help customers manage their energy expenses, including energy efficiency options and billing programs.
