Wildfire advises low-income Arizonans on how to deal with SRP rate changes

Many Scottsdale residents get utilities from SRP, and the new pricing and price plans put into effect may have low-income folk wondering what to do.

Wildfire, an anti-poverty nonprofit, is advising low-income Scottsdale residents and low-income Arizonans in general to apply for expanded SRP utility discount programs that can help lower their monthly bills, according to a press release.

Under the new SRP income-qualified discount, customers who live at the service address and meet the requirements for income can receive the following:

• $35 off their monthly bill if their household income is up to 150% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL), up from $23 previously

• $10 off their monthly bill if their household income is between 151% and 200% of the FPL, a newly eligible group

Customers can enroll in the discount at https://www.srpnet.com/customer-service/residential-electric/income-qualified-discount.
