APS Ranked One of Nation's Top 10 Solar Utilities

Arizona Public Service Company's efforts to increase the adoption of renewable energy continue to earn national recognition. APS was ranked third in the Annual Megawatts category and fourth in the Annual Watts Per Customer category -- both rankings the highest ever for the company -- in the 2011 Utility Solar Rankings announced on April 17 by the Solar Electric Power Association (SEPA).

With approximately 145 megawatts of solar energy added to its system in 2011, APS beat out more than 240 other utilities for the third place ranking.

"Last year was a banner year for renewable energy development at APS, we saw more customers install solar than in any prior year, and we brought 45 megawatts of APS-owned solar online through our AZ Sun Program," said Pat Dinkel, APS Vice President of Power Marketing, Resource Planning and Acquisition. "Renewable energy is good for our customers because it allows APS to invest in building a long-term diverse portfolio that takes into account affordability, dependability and sustainability."
