Do natural gas prices impact APS fuel and purchase power costs?
Yes. Just as gasoline prices have increased at the pumps, the cost of natural gas and other fuels we buy to run APS’ power plants have also increased. Fuel is the largest single cost of providing electricity to our customers. Since we only charge our customers for what the fuel costs us, our rates reflect the true prices we pay. Q) Where can I get more information on current natural gas prices? A) More information on natural gas costs is available. This link will take you to another party’s Web site and is included only to provide access to information indicating the current national natural gas market trend, which may not reflect what APS pays for natural gas in the future. APS purchases gas from different basins and at different prices than what is shown. Additionally, APS’ natural gas costs include several additional costs such as taxes, shrinkage, and pipeline transportation costs, among others. Market prices can change by the minute and forecasts are not always accurate. Please se
