Could SRP customers soon see some savings on their electricity bill?

PHOENIX — The utility bills for some Arizona residents could soon be on the decline.

The Salt River Project announced Wednesday the utility is considering a nearly $19 million temporary decrease for more than a million customers.

Under the temporary decrease, which would last for six months, prices for customers would be reduced by about 1 percent.

“The average customer, the average residential customer will have their bill reduced by $1.56 per month” for the six-month period from May to October, Jeff Lane, a spokesman with SRP, told KTAR News 92.3 FM.

The prices would return to the original winter season prices, which were approved in 2015, in November.

The average energy bill during the warm Arizona summers is about $227 for SRP customers.

Lane said the company’s Board of Directors will discuss the potential decrease later this month.
