Salt River Project Power Capacity Expansion and Board Election

planned

The Salt River Project, the largest public utility in the U.S., is facing a critical election that will determine control of its board amid rising electricity prices and the need to double power capacity within a decade due to growth in data centers and semiconductor factories in the Phoenix area. The utility is under pressure to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and increase clean energy adoption. Two rival slates backed by different political and interest groups are competing for board control, influencing the utility's future energy policies and infrastructure development.
