What else is TEP doing to prepare for customers' future energy needs?

TEP is planning a dramatic expansion of clean energy resources that will allow us to reduce our carbon dioxide emissions 80 percent by 2035.

This ambitious, realistic vision for a sustainable energy future is detailed in TEP's 2023 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP). The IRP provides regulators, customers and other interested stakeholders with information about current resources, detailed assumptions and analyses about future energy requirements, and strategies for meeting our customers’ long-term energy needs.
