TEP says Tucson's grid needs improvements to be reliable in the future. It's proposing a rate hike for customers within Tucson city limits.
TUCSON, Ariz. — On May 16, Tucson voters will decide in a special election whether to approve a new agreement between Tucson Electric Power and the city.
TEP says the proposed higher voltage, higher capacity transmission line would fix that issue — and help the neighborhoods all along it. Ward 3 council member Kevin Dahl says others report safety concerns, including a potential risk for helicopters arriving at Banner UMC. She feels like those protesting thee above-ground poles have held up the project and now are forcing everyone else to pay for an unnecessary underground transmission line. She says she would vote ‘No.’
One of the transmission line routes still under consideration runs through the neighborhood’s cherished central median along South Campbell Avenue.
