Salt River Project Utility Board Election

planned

An election to determine control of the Salt River Project, the largest public utility in the U.S., which builds power plants and power lines and manages electricity and water services. The utility is under pressure to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and to meet increasing power demand due to growth in data centers and semiconductor factories in the Phoenix area. Two rival slates are competing for board majority, with differing views on energy sources and rate increases.
