This bill proposes to amend Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 40-207, which outlines specific requirements for the commission regarding the management and improvement of the electric power grid. The bill mandates that any changes made must ensure sufficient electricity generation to meet seasonal demand and must avoid nonmomentary service interruptions and power quality incidents.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that upon the retirement of an electric generation plant, a replacement must be capable of providing dispatchable load following generation. It also defines key terms such as "dispatchable load following generation" and "generation resource mix," which refer to the ability of power sources to adjust to demand fluctuations and the variety of energy sources used in electricity production, respectively. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the reliability and quality of electric service in Arizona.
