Arizona Battery Incentives Shift Costs to Ratepayers

Utility companies in Arizona are now paying homeowners to install batteries on their houses.

But here's what they're not telling you. The money doesn't come from the utility

company's pocket. It comes from ratepayers who don't participate in the program. Every time they

raise rates to cover these battery incentives, non-participants foot the bill. Meanwhile,

battery owners get paid and save on energy costs. The people funding the program are

literally paying others to lower their own electric bills while theirs keep climbing.
