For the past four years Tucson Electric Power has unscrupulously been charging solar customers an unnecessary fee for their meters. TEP has no intention to refund the overpaying customers and instead plans to keep the money. TEP should be required to refund customers as this is clearly unfair.

This fee was part of the utility’s advanced metering infrastructure rollout, which was approved by the Arizona Corporation Commission in January 2019. Originally, it was based upon different meters used for customers with rooftop solar compared to other residential customers. However, soon after the fee was approved, the extra cost for solar customers should have been eliminated as TEP began using the same meters for all customers.

In the initial application for the utility’s current rate case, TEP was planning to continue charging the fee it knew was unwarranted. The Arizona Solar Energy Industries Association and the Solar Energy Industries Association notified the Arizona Corporation Commission of this outdated and incorrect fee and it was only then that TEP agreed to end it later this year. Although the fee will not continue going forward, TEP has profited over $1.

Unfortunately, the ACC has not required TEP to refund customers. Therefore, TEP customers should call on the utility to voluntarily refund its ill-gotten gains. You can directly contact TEP’s customer care center at 520-623-7711 and urge them to refund the over-collected fees.
