Keeping SRP Rates Predictable

Electric rates don’t rise from “one thing.” They rise when planning gets sloppy, when costs get shifted onto households, or when big spending decisions are made without discipline and transparency. As your next SRP Vice-President, Keith Woods will use 3 three decades of experience to ensure that engineering and cost-reality – not political slogans – drive every decision.

As SRP Vice-President Keith will focus on:

Cost discipline

Keith will require clear cost-benefit analysis and responsible phasing for major investments. With 30 years of oversight experience, he knows how to ensure ratepayers aren’t paying for vague promises or oversized projects.

Fair cost allocation

Ensure that everyday customers aren’t left holding the bag for new massive load growth or special interest carve-outs. Keith’s deep understanding of SRP’s rate structures ensures that those who drive the costs are the ones who pay for them.

No surprise cost-shifts

Keith is committed to stopping policy-driven add-ons and hidden cross-subsidies that quietly push extra costs onto regular households. He believes in straight answers and transparent billing that reflects the true cost of service.

No Experiments With Your Electric Bill

Some groups sell simple slogans. The grid is not a slogan. When policy agendas replace practical planning, ratepayers get the same result every time: higher costs, more volatility, and more finger-pointing.

Planning for Surging Demand

Electricity demand is rising, and the Valley is no exception. Growth, industry, and large new power loads can put pressure on the grid and on rates if planning is not disciplined. Ratepayers deserve firm power supplies at the best cost available, with transparency about what decisions cost and why.  

As your next SRP Vice-President, Keith Woods will apply 3 decades of proven board experience to ensure that surging demand is met with engineering reality, not political slogans.

What responsible planning looks like:

Prioritize Price and Reliability

Plan new power resources based on real-world price and reliability, not what is “politically popular”.

Protect Current Ratepayers

Use 3 decades of oversight experience to protect current ratepayers from unintended cost transfers driven by new industrial load growth.

Maintain Reliable Assets

Avoid premature closures of reliable power assets without proven replacements that can meet peak demand during record heat.

What We Can Learn From California’s Mistakes

Some policies move costs around instead of reducing them. If certain programs or customer classes get special treatment, someone else often pays. We support transparent accounting so everyday ratepayers aren’t quietly stuck with extra costs.

Rates are affected by what it costs to produce or buy electricity. The Board’s job is to demand disciplined procurement and avoid “surprise” spikes where possible.

Big projects matter. When investments are rushed, oversized, or poorly phased, ratepayers pay for decades. Oversight means asking: What problem does this solve, what does it cost, and what happens if we delay or scale it?

Arizona’s peak demand is driven by heat. Plans must be built for the real world: extreme afternoons, multi-day heat waves, and rapid load growth. If the plan doesn’t perform then, it doesn’t work.

Rate stability depends on clear planning, honest tradeoffs, and accountability. When governance becomes political theater, rates become less predictable.
