A roadmap for the reliable transition to the clean energy future
For the first time in 20 years, Arizona Electric Power Cooperative (AEPCO) is embarking on a journey to modernize its generating fleet while deploying a path to the clean energy future. From ultra-efficient, fast-ramping natural gas units to vast new solar arrays and battery storage, AEPCO is working to ensure its members have the safe, affordable, reliable power their communities need to thrive.
In addition to new power generation resources, AEPCO manages the transmission and energy trading needs of our members and customers through our partnership with ACES, whose Western Regional Trading Center is located on AEPCO’s Benson, Arizona, headquarters campus.
AEPCO provides a safe harbor for the electric cooperatives and public power utilities in the Southwest that alone cannot accomplish what can be done together, through the not-for-profit, democratically controlled generation and transmission cooperative business model.
Together with its sister organization, Sierra Southwest Cooperative Services, AEPCO operates under the banner of Arizona G&T Cooperatives.
Our Mission: The mission of Arizona G&T Cooperatives (AzGT) is to provide members and customers with reliable, safe and competitively priced electricity generation and transmission products and services, with a steadfast commitment to the electric co-op principles and communities we serve.
