The utility is also steadily taking measures to increase its renewable and battery storage capacity, thus moving toward clean energy.

The goal of the company is to become carbon neutral before 2045. Also, it plans to replace 114 MW of leased capacity at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station with solar and storage resources. Other utilities like Duke Energy (DUK Quick QuoteDUK ) , DTE Energy (DTE Quick QuoteDTE ) and Xcel Energy (XEL Quick QuoteXEL ) are too making efforts to supply clean energy.
