Arizona added 2,374 clean-energy jobs in 2022, near pre-pandemic levels
Arizona added more than 2,300 clean-energy industry jobs last year, falling just shy of the state’s pre-pandemic employment levels but matching the nation for job growth in the sector, a new report said.
Inflation Reduction Act investments paying off
Arizonans are enjoying our famously perfect spring weather, and new federal clean energy investments are already on their way to Arizona pockets.
Tax credits, incentives available to Arizona businesses
The Office of the Governor has not said when the Office of Resiliency will open, but if established in time, it may help even more Arizonans receive tax credits under the IRA.
Energizing Arizona: community solar can inject billions into state economy
Not only should the Arizona Corporation Commission create a community solar program in Arizona, but it must also structure the program in a way that fosters real competition and allows outside investors to compete in our energy marketplace.
Policymakers haven’t gotten the message
There is no left or right energy. It is all just energy. Cheap is better than expensive, in-state is better than out, abundant is better than scarce, and clean is better than dirty. For Arizonans, solar paired with storage checks all of those boxes. Anyone who tells you otherwise is just making stuff up.

Clean energy means more jobs, not fewer
Arizonans understand the benefits of transitioning to clean energy. Working together, we can make this part of the Arizona we want.
The case for U.S. leadership on advanced coal technology
While it can feel like the world is in the midst of an energy transition—where one source of energy is replaced by another—that’s not what’s happening. Instead of transition, we’re in a period of addition. The growing use of wind and solar power is actually coming on top of increased consumption of coal, natural gas, and oil.
Utilities must buy solar, renewable energy under long-term deals
Utilities are now required to enter into long-term contracts to buy power from solar and renewable energy generating stations under new policy established by the Arizona Corporation Commission.
Rising electricity prices to come as wind, solar mandates increase
Public utility commissioners and policymakers need to think very carefully about passing the costs of these mandates onto consumers. Trading reliable, affordable power for less reliable, more costly alternatives deserves serious scrutiny.
Arizona benefits from diverse energy mix – including coal, nuclear
Undoubtedly, natural gas and renewables are gaining prominence in Arizona and the nation. But it makes sense to keep all options on the table. In Arizona, coal and nuclear power have proven reliable for decades. They should continue to be part of an all-of-the-above energy mix alongside natural gas and solar for years to come.
