Scottsdale electricity and gas rates

Who supplies power and gas to Scottsdale houses and what a typical house uses: about 1000 kWh of electricity and 24 therms of gas a month. The city adds a 1.7% utility users tax.

Electricity: APS (Arizona Public Service)

Scottsdale's General Plan electrical services map shows areas served by APS and areas served by SRP, so some homes are served by SRP rather than APS. These figures use APS rate schedule R-1 Fixed Energy Charge Plan, large tier (average use of 1,000 kWh or more a month): a basic service charge and an energy charge, with no time-of-use, seasonal or demand charges, plus APS's adjustment charges.

Charge	Price
Fixed charge	$16.42 a month
Per kWh	18.12¢

Gas: Southwest Gas

Southwest Gas G-5 single-family residential gas service: $10.70 basic service charge per month plus a commodity charge per therm for all usage.

Charge	Price
Fixed charge	$10.70 a month
Per therm	$1.5904
