Additionally, Governor Hobbs released the following statement on HB2679:
"When I travel the state, I hear from Arizonans struggling with the high cost of energy. That’s why I stepped in and fought to make HB2679 a common sense, middle of the road solution for Arizona families.
"HB2679 will lower costs for everyday Arizonans, improve grid resiliency by growing our energy economy, and ensure utilities are being held accountable to deliver cost savings to Arizonans. I heard the concerns from clean energy and consumer protection advocates who opposed the original version of this bill, and I made it better.
"By working with bipartisan legislators I put in safeguards to ensure everyday Arizonans, not utilities, will benefit from securitization. And I made sure this bill will provide a tool to grow our energy economy. My work has made this bill a common sense approach that’s right for Arizona, not the concerning piece of legislation that was originally heard in the legislature.
"Because of this bill, Arizona families will save money and we will help create more jobs in a clean energy economy that, in just the last few years, has brought nearly $18 billion in investments to our state and created over 18,000 quality jobs.
"I will always work with this legislature on bipartisan solutions to deliver lower costs and more jobs for Arizona families. HB2679 does just that."
