This bill proposes to amend the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 40-207, which mandates that electric distribution utilities in the state must generate at least fifty percent of their electricity from renewable energy resources by January 1, 2036. This requirement aims to promote the use of sustainable energy sources within the state.

The bill also defines "renewable energy resource" as an energy source that is self-replenishing through a natural process and includes specific types of energy such as solar, wind, geothermal, hydropower, and biofuel energy. The current statutes remain unchanged, but the new language will establish clear guidelines for the transition to renewable energy sources in Arizona.
