Last chance to have your say on TEP's proposed rate increase

 

Nov 24 - McClatchy-Tribune Regional News - The Arizona Daily Star, Tucson

The Arizona Corporation Commission will hold an open meeting to discuss and vote on a Tucson Electric Power Co. rate increase at 10 a.m. tomorrow at 400 W. Congress, Room 222.

The rate settlement, which was approved by a regulatory judge in late October, would increase base rates about 4 percent for a typical customer.

It would also add another 3 or 4 percent for pass-through surcharges for wholesale power and fuel purchases. The surcharges would fluctuate as costs change, but base rates would be frozen through 2012.

As recommended by the judge, the new rates could go into effect Dec. 1.
