Constructive engagement with economic development community partners and timely, strategic engagement with prospects, site selectors, and local developers
Provide financial and strategic economic development support in both rural and metro communities Advance the entrepreneurial ecosystem by supporting organizations that are making an impact, whether through job creation, capital raised, education or quality programming Drive commercial real estate development by working closely with developers and the Arizona State Land Department to make large commercial land parcels “shovel ready”
Support policy decisions that leverage market-based technology and innovation to attract investment in Arizona Near-term use of natural gas until technological advances are available to maintain reliable service at reasonable prices Participation in the Energy Imbalance Market provides access to clean energy resources while saving customers money Electrification will drive a cleaner environment and more energy-efficient operations throughout the economy Continue to advance infrastructure that is responsive and resilient while providing customers more choice and control Storage creates opportunity to take advantage of midday solar generation and better respond to peak demand
Existing Power Sources Policy Decisions Evolving Market-Based Solutions Modernization of the Electric Grid Energy Storage Solutions Electrification

that splits water into oxygen and hydrogen, and the cost of equipment, principally the electrolyzer.
APS and Advanced Energy Economy co-led a unique process to engage businesses to work collaboratively to find product, service and business solution opportunities to address challenges with integrating more clean energy.
Through our parent company, Pinnacle West, we are investing in the transition to a cleaner, more reliable and customer-friendly energy ecosystem InvisionAz fund will provide venture capital to Arizona tech start-ups allowing them to scale here.
