Arizona Democrats are vying to wrest control of the state utility board so they can expand the use of solar energy in the nation’s sunniest state.
Democrats running for the Arizona Corporation Commission are promising to expand use of rooftop panels and large-scale solar power plants in the state, the nation’s No. 3 generator of energy from the sun. Republicans, who hold three of the panel’s five seats, say they are concerned that could raise power rates.
