Arizona Competitive Power Alliance

The Arizona Competitive Power Alliance advocates for open and competitive energy markets at the Arizona Corporation and Salt River Project. The Alliance participates in Integrated Resource Planning efforts, Utility rate cases and various Corporation Commission Workshops. Our members make presentations on both Summer and Winter Preparedness from the supplier perspective and advocate for competitive procurement, balanced portfolio standards and adequate reserve margins. These efforts help to ensure that Arizona has adequate electrical power that is low cost, reliable, efficient, diverse and clean.In addition to resource planning, the Arizona Competitive Power Alliance participated in the Arizona Public Service rate case on behalf of Independent Power Producers. The Arizona Competitive Power Alliance is working with other stakeholders to form a day-ahead energy market with the CAISOs EDAM model or the SPP Markets Plus model. We are working with stakeholders to strengthen the Energy Imbalance Market with a view toward transitioning those markets to a full Regional Transmission Organization. Our Director spoke at the CAISO EDAM conference in Las Vegas and participated in the Joint CREPC/WIRAB meetings.
