PHOENIX — Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes was granted an intervention on Monday by the Arizona Corporation Commission into Arizona Public Services’ most recent rate hike request.

According to the ACC, an intervention allows a person or organization — in this instance the State of Arizona — who was not an original party to the case to participate, including providing sworn testimony and cross-examining other parties’ witnesses.

“Arizonans are already feeling squeezed by sky-high electric bills and now APS is trying to jack them up even further. Giving APS another rate increase, after making more than $600 million in net income last year, is outrageous and I will not stand for it,” Attorney General Kris Mayes said in the announcement.
