AZ HCR2027

Concurrent resolution expressing legislative support for the Arizona Corporation Commission to adopt and implement a statewide feed-in tariff policy.

Proposes a feed-in tariff program that would target schools, nonprofits, and governmental institutions ineligible for federal Investment Tax Credits to help fund renewable energy projects.

Tariff payments would be based on actual energy production monthly or yearly rather than upfront costs, designed to encourage solar energy deployment in high-growth areas.

Resolution supports achieving Arizona's renewable energy goals of surpassing 15 percent by 2025, building on the existing Renewable Energy Standard that requires utilities to source 15 percent of retail sales from renewables.

Cites successful adoption of feed-in tariffs in other U.S. cities and states, decreased solar costs, and utility support for making Arizona the solar energy capital.
