The Arizona Corporation Commission oversees the electric power industry in Arizona. To get power to your home or business, utilities or their affiliates provide power generation, high-voltage transmission and low-voltage distribution. Power can be purchased from another company or generated at a power plant owned and operated by a traditional utility.

It then travels along high-voltage lines before it is "stepped down" to a lower voltage at a substation near your home or office. Distribution lines leaving the substation carry the power to your home or office.
