Biographical Info:

Nick Myers serves as Chairman of the Arizona Corporation Commission, where he is focused on delivering reliable, affordable energy for Arizona families and businesses.
A national leader in energy policy, Myers made history as the first Arizona Corporation Commissioner to testify before Congress, advocating for Arizona and pushing back against harmful federal policies.
He plays a key role in shaping the future of the western grid as Chairman of the Markets+ States Committee, helping lead development of a competitive, west-wide day-ahead energy market designed to improve reliability and lower costs.
Myers also serves on NARUC’s Gas Committee and works with regional organizations including WIEB, COSR, and WRAP to strengthen grid reliability and ensure Arizona is prepared for continued growth.
Since taking office, Myers has worked with fellow commissioners to eliminate costly mandates and subsidies that drove up utility bills. Arizona has improved regulatory stability, strengthened investor confidence, and is attracting new investment.
Whether at the Commission or in Washington, D.C., Myers continues to fight for policies that protect ratepayers, support economic growth, and secure Arizona’s energy future.

Statement:

I am currently the incumbent. This commission has been doing groundbreaking things for the last 4 years as evidenced by the fact that EIA.gov reported that between 2024 and 2025, nationally, energy prices rose by 6.5%, but Arizona has kept ours to 1.7%. This is a testament to our leadership. We have taken this commission from dead last in the nation from a regulatory stability perspective to a state that is envied for its stability, outside-the-box thinking, and protection of ratepayers. With the massive growth in both load and generation that AZ is facing, this is not a time for rookies, and I would be more than excited to serve Arizona for another 4 years.
