No national press is covering this but it’s becoming the biggest story in regulated power. If you recall complaints that APS was acting during the last Arizona Commission’s election, especially about answering questions about funding dark money groups, you will like this update. The FBI has been investigating and the prosecutors have convened a grand jury to go over some subpoenas. In Parallel, a single Arizona Corporate Commissioner has asked for further information about the utility’s funding of elections through dark money groups. The utility is hitting back at the commissioner and the entire accusations, which text messages released to journalists appear to be confirming. In short, there’s some crazy stuff happening in Arizona and the solar industry has been right about how they were being treated unfairly. Stay tuned for more…
