DEMAND SAVINGS
APS E-32 and E-34 rate structures1. Charged for kWh used (usage)2. Charged on monthly kW peak (demand)
minimum bill is 80% of annual peak
Terminal 4 (E-34 rate structure)• $17.337/kW at peak demand
= $1,927,593.49
Terminal 4, with 50% demand reduction• $17.337/kW at peak demand
= $963,796.75
$963,797/yr savings just from shaving
peak demand

RATE SAVINGS
“12 largest loads” at Sky Harbor Airport,
FY 2011 electricity usage:
124,670,900 kWh
$10,763,808
= 8.56 cents/kWh
SHARPP produces 29,171,538 kWh annually
@ 8.56 cents/kWh from APS
= $2,497,084/yr
SHARPP cost of 29,171,538 kWh
= $1,750,292/yr
$746,792/yr (7%) savings just on
replacing APS electricity with SHARPP

COST and EFFICIENCY
SHARPP as an investment• Government-owned
• No sales tax• No property tax• No income tax
• 100% “loan” through bonds (3% interest)
• LCOE 6.00 cents/kWh(compare to 8.56 cents/kWh with APS)
Net Annual Energy 29,171,538 kWh
PPA price (LCOE) 6.00 cents/kWh
Debt Fraction 100%
kWh/kW 1,716
Total Land Area 72.82 acres
