Power Shortage Fears Hit Tucson Growth and Politics
Tucson faces a mounting power shortage as 3,200 new applications strain a stagnant supply. The Arizona Power Authority cites need for a 15,000 to 20,000 kilowatt plant while Parker Dam power remains throttled by drought and legal delays. The city blames a 3.5 year lawsuit over electric system condemnation for curtailing capacity, contrasting Phoenix plans for a 30,000 kilowatt plant and a $2.5 million Tucson project. Untie our hands.
