More and more advanced business, technology and manufacturing industries are choosing to call Arizona home. One of the reasons is reliable, affordable and clean energy with a range of service options for every size business opportunity.
Our economic development team stands ready with the tools, resources and knowledge to help.
We work with state, county, regional and municipal economic development organizations to attract and stimulate business investment that creates jobs and supports a healthy economy.
Clean Energy
Doing what is right for Arizona
Customers can count on APS to provide reliable energy at the lowest cost possible while we strive to lower emissions over time. Our aspirational clean energy goal is to serve customers with carbon-neutral energy by 2050.
Energy Costs
Keeping the cost of energy down and economic growth up.
Over the last 25 years (1992-2017), our rates have increased an average of 0.9% for commercial and 1.3% for industrial despite 2.8% inflation. Keeping energy affordable and costs stable for existing, start-up and relocating businesses helps Arizona thrive.

Diverse Mix
A diverse energy mix is a smart energy mix
Diversified resources ensure clean, reliable and affordable energy. You flip a switch and the light comes on. But where does the energy that powers it come from and why is that important?
Reliability
Consistently one of the most reliable utilities in America
Businesses count on us to keep their operations up and running. We consistently rank among the top utilities for reliability and in 2018 devoted $700 million to operate, maintain, expand and modernize the grid.
