Arizona voters hold significant influence over energy generation and climate policies through the Arizona Corporation Commission, which is pivotal in regulating electric utilities and energy sources.
The commission has taken controversial steps, including rolling back clean energy mandates and facilitating the construction of fossil fuel plants at the expense of renewable energy initiatives.
This regulatory body operates almost like a hidden government. Most citizens are unaware of its impact on their daily lives and the policies affecting energy production.
Historically, the commission promoted renewable energy to benefit from falling costs, initially mandating utilities to reach a 15-percent renewable share by 2025, aiming for zero emissions by 2050.
