ARIZONA PUBLIC SERVICE (APS)

company profile

We were founded 5 years after Tombstone’s gunfight at the OK Corral and nearly a quarter-century before Arizona became a state. Although we’ve served Arizona for more than 125 years, in many ways it feels like we’re just getting started.​

an eye to the future

As Arizona’s largest and longest-serving electric company, we’re proud of our heritage and past performance. But we recognize new technologies and growing customer expectations are leading to rapid changes at our company and in our industry.

We generate safe, affordable and reliable electricity for more than 1.2 million retail and residential customers in 11 of Arizona’s 15 counties. By 2030 we expect to add 700,000 new customers. We plan to meet those customers’ needs through innovation and excellent service.

there’s more to us than electricity

Our corporate vision is to create a sustainable energy future for Arizona. The use of innovative smart technologies, renewable energy sources and energy efficiency are key components of our efforts to meet that vision. We make decisions with the goal of creating long-term corporate value and adhering to our Code of Ethics and Business Practices. We consider our societal, economic and environmental impact, now and for generations to come.

our long-term approach to sustainability

We view sustainability as a business practice, not an initiative or “green” program. We take a long-term strategic approach to our decisions and their economic, environmental and social implications. Sustainability is our business model and is ingrained in our corporate strategic framework.

In 1886, just five years after Tombstone’s gunfight at the OK Corral, the

Phoenix Illuminating Gas & Electric Light Company (the pioneering utility

that became APS) first brought electricity to the small town of Phoenix.

Since then, the men and women of APS have gone wherever needed to

ensure our customers have the electricity they need.
