Stacy Derstine, APS vice president of customer service, said the utility is proposing an integrated set of programs, including education, to ensure that “the result is increased choice and control for customers when it comes to their energy usage.” Arizona Public Service is set to roll out a slew of measures aimed at encouraging customers to save energy and control usage, while also helping integrate renewable resources into the grid. The programme includes incentives to buy smart thermostats, energy storage and water heater timers and electric vehicle charging infrastructure, as well as electric school buses. In addition, utilities will be required to offer rebates for solar panels on homes that generate more than 10% of their electricity from solar.
