APS customers to receive bill credit in November

PHOENIX (KYMA) - Arizona Public Service (APS) will credit customers more than $33 million next month, saving the typical residential customer about $14 on their November bill.

APS said, "The savings will be applied automatically through the Environmental Benefits Surcharge on their bill," and said, "Customers do not need to take any action to receive these savings."

APS said the Arizona Corporation Commission approved their application for the credit at their Open Meeting Oct. 7.

The credit comes in part from the success of the Green Power Partners program that allows APS to sell renewable energy credits to participating businesses and return the revenue to customers.

The funds generated by the Green Power Partners program help ensure customers benefit while APS continues renewable energy initiatives and programs to support Arizona's growing energy needs.

For a typical residential customer using approximately 1,050 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per month, the total bill savings will be about $14 on their November bill.

The exact amount will vary based on customers' energy usage. The credit also applies to business customers, who could see savings of several hundred dollars or more on their November bills depending on their energy use.

APS also offers bill assistance, energy-saving programs and flexible payment options for customers who need help managing their monthly costs.
