A second energy expert describes another cost shift analysis that alleges APS customers are paying for costs incurred by data centers. This one pertains to the base rates in monthly bills. Western Resource Advocates laid out their claim and proposed solution in the APS rate case.

The most impactful achievement of this PUC chairman's tenure to date has been introducing a new ratesetting regime that the utilities wanted and consumers opposed, and which has caused rates to increase everywhere else it's been adopted. energyandpolicy.org/southwes…
Replying to @VoteKThompson
I have a proven record of cutting utility budgets, stopping wasteful spending, and ensuring costs to serve power hungry companies aren’t shifting their costs onto you.

Pay attention, #Arizona. Why is Commissioner Kevin Thompson (longtime former SWGas lobbyist who has current data center clients w/ his side hustle) seeking this info when he’s getting PAID to supposedly ā€œregulateā€ the utilities & should’ve been asking these ???’s YEARS ago?!?!
Since July I've asked APS to answer 13 q's based on APS reg filings and investor reports cuz an analysis shows a data center cost shift. Last week AG Kris Mayes demanded an investigation. Now Commissioner Thompson is demanding APS turn over communications they've had... with me.

So... Detective has many misconduct allegations. Prosecutors claim somehow they don't know that about the cop sitting next to them. Then, the DAY AFTER CONVICTION, MCAO claims they finally learn about misconduct. 🧐 Result: Murder conviction tossed abc15.com/news/crime/george-…

BEHIND THE SCENES: I got called for jury duty while investigating how prosecutors had secretly investigated jurors. I didn't make the cut. Didn't even get to show up. Turns out... I had already investigated one of the detectives and the prosecutor on the case.
Summoned while investigating jury duty: Before we decided to go to court to directly let jurors know about prosecutors' secret investigations, Our @DaveBiscobing15Ā got summoned for jury duty. The process revealed some important things for our reporting.

APS is the absolute worst to their customers and the republican, bought and sold Corporate Commission, is costing us dearly. My bill is as high now as it has ever been. I put solar on my house 3 years ago, put my thermostat at 80 and am paying the same as I use to in 2015. Crooks

.@12News asked @AriPeskoe to review a consumer advocate's analysis of APS financial records amid a data center boom in AZ. His review confirmed the advocate's findings that APS customers paid $587 million for data center sector growth between 2023-2025. bit.ly/4hO18Ug

An ICE officer fired at least seven rounds into a car on a crowded New York City street, officials said, wounding a man they were trying to detain while a 5-year-old sat in the car. Mayor Mamdani denounced the agency and said ICE should be abolished. wapo.st/4jd1B4X

🧵 Let’s start with the obvious. @apsFYI’s first goal has been to enrich their shareholders — NOT protect customers. The amount of shenanigans we know about is mind boggling & drenched in corruption. The current ACC is also completely captured by these monopoly utilities.
We’ve served Arizona for 140 years, in the towns and communities where we live. As Arizona experiences extraordinary growth, our responsibility to protect customers has never been more important. That’s why APS is ensuring that residential and small-business customers are not paying for data center power usage – and why we’re taking steps to make sure they won’t in the future. Unfortunately, recent @12News reporting makes false and misleading claims about data center costs. The simple truth is that our rate structures are working as designed to avoid cost shifts. Get the facts here: tr.ee/T2mhGw

It's not enough to stop using NDAs with *local officials*. Big Tech also needs to end the use of NDAs for its contracts with utilities. In Indiana, redactions to Amazon contracts are hiding BILLIONS in rate subsidies they are receiving through sweetheart deals with utilities.
NEW: amazon announced this morning that it has stopped using NDAs in its data center agreements w local officials NDAs have been a massive flashpoint in anti-DC backlash it also rolled out $1 bn in commitments to DC communities: wired.com/story/amazon-says-…

Public concern has been mounting since @RosannaXia first exposed the little-known history of DDT dumping off the California coast. Now, new legislation in Congress lays out a long-awaited proposal on how to reckon with the legacy of toxic dumping. latimes.com/environment/stor…
