                   RECOGNIZING ARIZONA PUBLIC SERVICE

  (Mr. BIGGS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BIGGS. Madam Speaker, today highlights another success story from 
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
  Arizona Public Service, the largest electric utility in Arizona, 
recently announced that it will again be lowering electricity rates to 
customers. Arizonans can now expect to save more than $100 a year on 
their electricity bill thanks to the Republican-led tax reform package 
signed by President Trump.
  These savings are not crumbs. They are real, and they will benefit 
millions of people across our State. APS services about 2.7 million 
people and operates the Palo Verde Generating Station, which is the 
largest source of clean-air energy in the United States. The Palo Verde 
nuclear power plant has 2,500 full-time employees and generates an 
economic impact of more than $2 billion to our State.
  Madam Speaker, the 100-degree temperature days are upon us, and I 
know firsthand how expensive summertime bills can be. This announcement 
by APS is yet another example of Arizonans winning because of the Tax 
Cuts and Jobs Act.
