Tucson Electric Power and the City of Tucson have signed a letter of intent to work towards powering 100% of city operations with renewable energy.
TEP's CEO, Susan Gray, had pledged to begin discussions of a clean energy supply agreement with the city, which has been submitted for approval by city voters as Proposition 412 in a May 16 special election. The agreement would reflect progress made since then.
Mayor Regina Romero had requested an agreement similar to TEP's clean energy supply contract with the University of Arizona during negotiations over the franchise proposal. TEP provides service to the city at over 2,000 locations ranging from office buildings to water wells, which would need to be addressed in any such agreement.
