Arizona Public Service Co
Average price is revenue divided by sales for the sector and year; it is not a tariff rate. Reliability figures are as reported by utilities to EIA on Form 861 and may use different calculation methods. Annual figures: Form EIA-861 for 2024, final release. Monthly state figures run to July 2026.
In its Form EIA-861 filing for 2024, Arizona Public Service Co, an investor-owned utility, reported 1,256,120 residential customers in Arizona, with a service territory that touches 14 counties.
Its average residential price that year was 16.45¢ per kilowatthour, 10% above the Arizona average of 14.91¢ and about the same as the US average of 16.48¢. The figure is residential revenue divided by residential sales, so it folds in fixed charges, riders and every rate schedule the utility bills under.
That works out to an average residential bill of $170.02 a month on average use of 1,034 kWh a month. Across Arizona the average bill was $160.24 on 1,075 kWh, so a bill gap reflects how much power households use as well as what each kilowatthour costs.
For reliability it reported a SAIDI of 87.2 minutes per customer with major event days included and 80.9 minutes with them excluded, calculated under IEEE 1366 standard. The median among Arizona utilities reporting was 113.2 minutes with major event days; this utility's figure is 23% below that median.
The average price is up 21.0% on 2019, against up 20.0% for Arizona as a whole, and up 7.4% on 2023. EIA's early release for 2025, which has not been fully edited, shows 17.03¢.

Sales by sector, 2024
| Sector | Customers | Sales | Share of sales | Revenue | ¢ per kWh, bundled |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Residential | 1,256,120 | 15.6 TWh | 46% | $2,562,822,500 | 16.45¢ |
| Commercial | 141,345 | 16.1 TWh | 48% | $2,125,533,600 | 13.23¢ |
| Industrial | 2,572 | 2.1 TWh | 6% | $209,390,600 | 10.21¢ |
Customers, sales and revenue count every service type the utility reported (bundled, energy-only and delivery-only). The price column uses bundled service alone, because part-bill revenue would understate it. Sources of energy: 40.2 TWh in total, of which 66% was its own net generation and 13.7 TWh was bought wholesale; summer peak demand 8,212 MW.
Reliability
Minutes of sustained interruption per customer in 2024, as the utility reported them under IEEE 1366 standard. SAIFI: 0.93 interruptions per customer with major event days, 0.88 without; CAIDI 93.8 minutes per interruption. EIA's Arizona total across all reporting utilities was 87.5 minutes with major event days and 72.0 without. Major event days are storms and similar events that a utility's chosen method sets apart; methods differ, so treat comparisons as approximate. What SAIDI and SAIFI mean.

Net generation of 50.9 TWh at power plants this utility operates, from Form EIA-923. It is not the mix delivered to customers: utilities also buy power wholesale (13.7 TWh in 2024), sell generation to others and may co-own plants that another company operates.
