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. The utility is under pressure to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and is projected to need to double its power capacity within a decade due to growth in the Phoenix area, driven by data centers and semiconductor factories. Two rival slates are competing for board control, with differing views on energy sources and rate increases.
