TEP Contributes $1.6 Million, Volunteers 13,146 Hours in 2024
TEP contributed more than $1.6 million and?thousands of volunteer hours?in 2024 to help 167?nonprofit groups support community vitality, education, environmental stewardship, and racial and social equity.
“Our local nonprofit partners work daily to address the most pressing needs in our community,” said Shea-Lynn Hoisington, TEP’s Outreach Project Coordinator. “Through TEP’s resources, both financial and employee volunteerism, we work collaboratively?toward a brighter future together.”
TEP funded a range of organizations, projects and events last year, including efforts to address housing and food insecurity, deliver educational programs and protect the environment.
TEP’s philanthropic contributions come from corporate resources and are not recovered through customers’ rates. Local charities use our contributions to sustain programs with measurable success built over many years.
Frequently Asked Questions by Customers
At TEP events, our representatives often field questions from customers. Here is the answer to one of the common questions we hear.
If I want solar for my home or business, can TEP help?
Absolutely. We support our customers’ interest in private solar power systems, which help our community achieve a cleaner energy mix. We also want to help our customers make good decisions about solar. There are a number of factors you should consider when consider your own project, including local building codes, available sunlight, your roof design, whether to lease or own and maintenance and repairs.
TEP also offers an easy way to buy solar power from our large local systems. While all customers receive some solar energy, the TEP?GoSolar Shares?program provides a flexible way to serve some or all of your energy from the sun for an affordable price.
