APS Warning
"We Do Not Have Enough Power
to Meet Demand"

"APS putting profits first isn’t news, but the real threat is that the Commission has removed the safeguards and left families exposed to a monopoly utility with no oversight."
What Tatum Ranch Residents Need to Know:
- Major AI data centers (TSMC, Meta) are draining the grid capacity
- APS publicly admitted it cannot meet summer power demand
- APS has filed for a 14% rate increase
- Insufficient infrastructure means certain blackouts, ACC "forced" to approve annual double-digit increases
"They created the crisis so they could justify massive rate hikes to 'fix' it."

The APS Energy Crisis Timeline
February 2024
Report reveals just five new data centers will use all the power from Palo Verde Nuclear Plant.
May 2024
Microsoft urges APS to be transparent with homeowners, warn the grid is unprepared for rising data center demand.
April 2025
APS announces its largest energy deal ever, funded by ratepayers. Supply is reserved for big tech while homeowners face blackouts.
June 2025
Despite promises that big tech will "pay their own way", APS forces another 14 percent increase on homeowners who already pay 3x more per kWh than data centers.
Starting 2026
New ACC rules allow APS to file annual double-digit rate hikes based on a predetermined formula they are not disclosing with homeowners
What You Can Still Do About It
There are still federal and state programs available to insulate homeowners in Arizona from rising utility costs. These programs allow qualified homes to install battery backup systems and lock in fixed energy rates — WITH NO UPFRONT COSTS. They are grid relief programs funded to reduce household demand, but they are getting eliminated!
Available Programs for Tatum Ranch Homeowners:
Federal Investment Tax Credit
30% of your system costs covered by federal incentives. Funding now expires in 2025, nine years ahead of schedule. SYSTEMS MUST BE OPERATIONAL TO QUALIFY!
Battery Storage Incentives
Battery systems keep your AC and essential appliances running during blackouts, eliminate peak rate charges, and qualify for extra incentives.
Net Metering & Rate Protection
Lock in your energy rates and receive annual payment from APS for excess power sold. Must apply before Sept 1 to get grandfather at current buyback rates.
URGENT: Program Expiration Warning
Recent congressional funding cuts eliminate $0 out-of-pocket programs in 2025. APS is waiting to raise rates until after they’re gone, so most families won’t realize the impact until it’s too late. Qualified homeowners see immediate net savings compared to APS.
What Your Neighbors Are Saying
"Brett walked me through the entire process. My APS bills were $380/month and now APS sends me a check every year. I'm protected from future rate hikes and have backup power during outages."
- Jim H., Tatum Ranch
"I was so skeptical at first. Even after I signed up people were saying I made a huge mistake and I was second guessing myself. But, knowing that Brett also lives here in Tatum Ranch, I decided to trust him and it was the best decision I've made since I got a divorce."
- Jan G., Tatum Ranch
"Brett helped us understand that our roof wasn’t eligible for solar, but what mattered most to us was protection. After what happened in Texas in 2021, we’re grateful to have battery backup. We feel safe knowing we’re prepared."
- Kathy & Marty D., Tatum Ranch
