Arizona HB2527 aims to protect electricity reliability by preventing the closure of electric generation facilities without adequate replacement.

Arizona HB2527 mandates that the Arizona Corporation Commission cannot approve the retirement of electric generation facilities without ensuring a replacement is available. The commission must prioritize new electric generation facilities from dispatchable sources and increase dispatchable electricity by at least five percent between 2025 and 2030. The bill also requires electric generation facilities to inform the commission of any external regulatory actions that would make continued operation economically infeasible.
