Powering Growth, Delivering Value8 KEY DATES FOR RATE DESIGN 2013 2014 2015 • Net metering Technical Workshops and July 2013 Renewable Energy Standard Annual filing, which laid the groundwork for the November decision • Nov. 2013: ACC decision on net metering; recognized cost shift and implemented $0.70 per watt charge effective January 1, 2014 • Time of Use rates initiated - Nearly half of our residential customers are on TOU rates • Residential demand rates started due to central air conditioning load (currently about 10% of customers have a rate with a demand charge) Early 1980’s 2016+ • Aug. 2014: ACC voted to lift rate case filing requirement in 2015 • May 2015: Launched home rate study to understand technology interfaces and demand rate implications • Apr. 2015: Grid Access Charge filing request with ACC to increase charge for future solar customers to $3.00 per kW from $0.70 per kW, per month • Rate design discussions and rate case application filing

Powering Growth, Delivering Value9 Rate Design Modernization Steps: • Grid Access Charge filing on April 2, 2015 – Interim solution – Seeking increase to $3.00/kw (or about $21/month) from $0.70/kw* – Solar customers also have option to enroll in an existing rate plan, that includes TOU rates and a demand charge – Next step: ACC open meeting scheduled for August 18-19 • Other modifications to be discussed in a rate case or another proceeding – Align TOU or peak vs. off-peak rates more closely with wholesale rates – Align peak rate times with load peak – Broaden use of demand charges RATE DESIGN MODERNIZATION Fixed Costs 69% Variable Costs 31% Costs – APS Residential Classes (2010) Fixed Charge Revenue 10% Variable Charge Revenue 90% Revenue – APS Residential Classes (2010) Rate design changes needed to align fixed costs and revenue * In Decision No. 74202, Arizona Corporation Commission found that an interim charge of $3.00 per kW per month is reasonable for new DG customers, although the Commission set the initial charge at $0.70 per kW. TOU = Time of Use

Powering Growth, Delivering Value10 • Installing 10 MW of APS-owned residential rooftop solar − Equates to approximately 1,500 customers − Will be filed for recovery in next general rate case − 2 MW (of the 10 MW) will be coupled with storage − Participating customers receive monthly payment through the 20-year life • Benefits: − Provides an alternative for those who cannot afford solar or do not want a lease − Study system benefits (i.e. strategic deployment orientation, advanced inverters, etc.) • Experience with utility-owned DG from Flagstaff Community Power Project, launched in 2010 − 1.5 MW of distributed energy from solar panels owned by APS, spread across 125 residential rooftops, schools and Community solar APS SOLAR INNOVATION Partnering with Arizona installers Solar Partner Program • APS is conducting home rate study to implement and study various technology configurations (solar, storage, smart inverters, load control, etc.) and demand rates − 75 homes will have APS-owned systems with various configurations − Up to 125 homes will have customer- owned systems Distributed Generation – Rate Study

Powering Growth, Delivering Value11 • Customers with rooftop solar systems do not pay for all of the electric services they use (i.e. rooftop customers still need support from the grid 24 hours a day) • These unpaid costs are then paid, through higher rates, by non-rooftop solar customers • The issue will get bigger over time as applications and installs continue to increase NET METERING Rooftop solar customers still use the grid 24 hours a day TYPICAL GRID INTERACTION FOR ROOFTOP SOLAR

Powering Growth, Delivering Value12 OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS WITH INCREASED VARIABLE GENERATION The grid provides real-time voltage and power needed to start air conditioners and other motors loads (for typical AC unit) • Steep ramp rate of backup generation • Instant variability • Voltage control at distribution level

Powering Growth, Delivering Value13 Regional Haze / BART (SCR) Mercury and Other Hazardous Air Pollutants (ACI + Baghouse) Coal Combustion Residuals Cooling Water Intake Structures – CWA 316(b) EPA Ruling Announced in 1999, with site-specific requirements announced more recently MATS compliance by April 2015, with potential for one-year extension Announced on December 19, 2014 (Subtitle D) Announced in May 2014 Four Corners 4-5 Approximately $400M for SCRs in 2015-2017 (does not include CAPEX related to El Paso’s 7% interest) $0 APS estimates that is share of incremental costs to comply with the CCR rule for Four Corners is approximately $15 million, and its share of incremental costs for Cholla is approximately $85 million. APS expects to incur certain of these costs during 2015-2017 timeframe. $20M or less Cholla 2-3 On September 11, 2014, APS announced a proposal to close Unit 2 by April 2016 and stop burning coal at the other APS-owned units (1 and 3) by the mid-2020’s if the EPA approves the proposed plan. The proposal would save approximately $350 million in emission control upgrades. $0 Navajo 1-3 Up to ~$200M for SCRs and baghouses On July 28, 2014, EPA issued the final BART rule incorporating the better-than-BART alternative proposed by SRP and others SRP, the operating agent, is evaluating compliance options Approximately $1 million To be determined ENVIRONMENTAL PLAN Regional Haze compliance is the biggest driver of environmental spend over the next few years Clean Power Plan: On August 3, 2015, the U.S. EPA issued its final rules to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel-fired power plants including those on Tribal lands. APS is reviewing the rules, while working closely with other utilities, the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality, the ACC, tribal officials and other impacted stakeholders to determine how best to proceed. Note: Dollars shown at ownership. Estimates as of June 30, 2015. • Cholla Unit 1 is not BART-eligible. Cholla Unit 4 is owned by PacifiCorp. • SO2 NAAQS and greenhouse gas-related costs will be determined based upon EPA rule makings, with no spend occurring before 2016. • ACI = Activated Carbon Injection; NAAQS = National Ambient Air Quality Standard; SCR = Selective catalytic reduction control technology

Powering Growth, Delivering Value14 Emissions • Four Corners: 2013 transaction to purchase Southern California Edison’s ownership in Units 4 and 5 and close units 1, 2 & 3 leads to expected reductions of emissions: particulates are expected to decline by 43%, NOx by 36%, CO2 by 30%, mercury by 61% and SO2 by 24% • Cholla Power Plant: Planned closure of Unit 2 in 2016 (or sooner) will reduce mercury emissions by 51%, particulates by 34%, NOx by 32%, and CO2 and SO2 by 23% each. We also announced plans to work with the U.S. EPA to stop burning coal at our remaining Cholla units by the mid-2020s • Navajo Generating Station: Plan proposed by a group of stakeholders, including SRP, the operating agent, was approved by the EPA in 2014. The plan will achieve even greater NOx emission reductions than the EPA’s proposal • Participated in Carbon Disclosure Project since 2006 COAL FLEET STRATEGY APS’s proactive approach to reducing emissions leads to coal’s expected share of the energy mix being reduced to 17% 28% 18% 35% 17% 20% 35% 10% 15% 7% 15% 2014 2029 P e r c e n t o f P o r t f o l i o M W h EE/DR Renewable Energy Natural Gas Coal Nuclear Source: Data shown is based on 2014 IRP Supplement filed September 17, 2014
