PINNACLE WEST CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Consolidation and Nature of Operations
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pinnacle
West and our subsidiaries: APS, SunCor, APSES, El Dorado and Pinnacle West Marketing & Trading. By
the end of 2008, substantially all of Pinnacle West Marketing & Tradings contracts were
transferred to APS or expired. Intercompany accounts and transactions between the consolidated
companies have been eliminated. Our accounting records are maintained in accordance with GAAP.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. In preparing the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we
have evaluated subsequent events that have occurred after June 30, 2009 through the date the
financial statements were issued on August 4, 2009.
2. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments except as otherwise disclosed in the notes) that we believe
are necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash
flows for the periods presented. These condensed consolidated
financial statements and notes should be read
in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2008
Form 10-K. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared
consistently with the 2008 Form 10-K with the exception of the reclassification of certain
prior-year amounts on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income
and Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheets in accordance with SFAS No. 160
(see Note 19) and SFAS No. 144 (see Note 17).
We
have presented certain line items in more detail in the Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows than was presented in the prior
year. The prior year amounts were reclassified to conform to the
current year presentation. Customer and other receivables and accrued
utility revenues are presented as separate line items instead of the
previously reported single line item of customer and other
receivables. Accrued taxes and other current liabilities are
presented as separate line items instead of the previously reported
single line item of other current liabilities. The change in
collateral and margin account liabilities and the change in
other long-term liabilities are presented separately instead of the
previously reported single line item of other long-term liabilities.
These reclassifications had no impact on total net cash flow provided
by operating activities.
3. Quarterly Fluctuations
Weather conditions cause significant seasonal fluctuations in our revenues. In addition, real
estate activities, such as the real estate impairment charges recorded in the first half of 2009
(see Note 21), can have significant impacts on our results for interim periods. For these reasons,
results for interim periods do not necessarily represent results expected for the year.

The credit and liquidity markets experienced significant stress beginning the week of
September 15, 2008. While Pinnacle Wests and APS ability to issue commercial paper has been
negatively impacted by market conditions, they have both been able to access existing credit
facilities, ensuring adequate liquidity.
Pinnacle West (parent company) has a $283 million revolving credit facility that terminates in
December 2010. The revolver is available to support the issuance of up to $250 million in
commercial paper or to be used as bank borrowings, including issuances of letters of credit of up
to $94 million. At June 30, 2009, the parent company had outstanding $177 million of borrowings
under its revolving credit facility and no letters of credit. It also had no commercial paper
outstanding at June 30, 2009. At June 30, 2009, the parent company had remaining capacity
available under its revolver of approximately $106 million.
On February 26, 2009, APS issued $500 million of 8.75% unsecured senior notes that mature on
March 1, 2019. Net proceeds from the sale of the notes were used to repay short-term borrowings
under two committed revolving lines of credit incurred to fund capital expenditures and for general
corporate purposes.
During the second quarter of 2009, APS refinanced approximately $343 million of its $539
million variable rate pollution control bonds. As a result of these refinancings, which are
described in the following three paragraphs, APS no longer has any
outstanding debt securities in auction rate mode.
On May 28, 2009, the Navajo County, Arizona Pollution Control Corporation issued approximately
$166 million of Navajo County, Arizona Pollution Control Corporation Pollution Control Revenue
Refunding Bonds, 2009 Series A-E, due 2034. The bonds were issued to redeem all of approximately
$166 million of the Navajo County, Arizona Pollution Control Corporation Pollution Control Revenue
Refunding Bonds 2004 Series A-E, due 2034. The 2009 Series A-E bonds are payable solely from
revenues obtained from APS pursuant to a loan agreement between APS and the Navajo County, Arizona
Pollution Control Corporation. We will be required to purchase the bonds at the applicable
interest reset date and have the opportunity to remarket the bonds at
that time. These bonds are classified as long-term debt
on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Also on May 28, 2009, the Coconino County, Arizona Pollution Control Corporation issued
approximately $13 million of 5.50% Coconino County, Arizona Pollution Control Corporation Pollution
Control Revenue Refunding Bonds, 2009 Series A, due 2034. The bonds were issued to redeem all of
approximately $13 million of the Coconino County, Arizona Pollution Control Corporation Pollution
Control Revenue Refunding Bonds 2004 Series A, due 2034. The 2009 Series A
bonds are payable solely from revenues obtained from APS pursuant to a loan agreement between
APS and the Coconino County, Arizona Pollution Control Corporation. We will be required to
purchase the bonds at the interest reset date and have the opportunity to remarket the bonds at
that time. These bonds are
classified as long-term debt on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APS has two committed revolving credit facilities totaling $866 million, of which $377 million
terminates in December 2010 and $489 million terminates in September 2011. The revolvers are
available either to support the issuance of up to $250 million in commercial paper (see discussion
above) or to be used for bank borrowings, including issuances of letters of credit up to $583
million. At June 30, 2009, APS had borrowings of approximately $209 million and no letters of
credit under its revolving lines of credit. At June 30, 2009, APS had remaining capacity available
under its revolvers of $657 million.
An existing ACC order requires APS to maintain a common equity ratio of at least 40%. As
defined in the ACC order, the common equity ratio is common equity divided by the sum of common
equity and long-term debt, including current maturities of long-term debt. At June 30, 2009, APS
common equity ratio, as defined, was 48%. Its total common equity was approximately $3.3 billion,
and total capitalization was approximately $6.8 billion. APS would be prohibited from paying
dividends if the payment would reduce its common equity below approximately $2.7 billion, assuming
APS total capitalization remains the same. This restriction does not materially affect Pinnacle
Wests ability to meet its ongoing capital requirements.
The SunCor Secured Revolver matures in January 2010 and requires SunCor to reduce its
outstanding borrowings by specified amounts over the term of the facility. As of June 30, 2009,
approximately $108 million of borrowings were outstanding under the SunCor Secured Revolver and
approximately $67 million of debt was outstanding under other SunCor credit facilities. SunCor
intends to apply the proceeds of planned asset sales (see Note 21) to the repayment of the SunCor
Secured Revolver and SunCors other outstanding debt. The impairment charges discussed in Note 21
and the maturity and non-payment of approximately $7 million of project loans resulted in
violations of certain covenants contained in the SunCor Secured Revolver and SunCors other credit
facilities. SunCor has obtained a forbearance agreement from the SunCor Secured Revolver lenders
under which those lenders have agreed not to enforce any of their remedies under the SunCor Secured
Revolver until August 15, 2009. SunCor remains in discussions with these lenders to modify the
SunCor Secured Revolver to resolve the covenant defaults and extend the principal repayment
provisions in a manner that more closely corresponds to SunCors planned asset sales. SunCor also
is seeking extensions, waivers or similar relief from its other lenders and, while doing so,
continues to make current interest payments to its lenders. If SunCor is unable to obtain
additional extensions, waivers or similar relief from its lenders, SunCor could be required to
immediately repay its outstanding indebtedness under the SunCor Secured Revolver and its other
credit facilities. Such debt acceleration would have a material adverse impact on SunCors
business and its financial position. Neither Pinnacle West nor any of its other subsidiaries has
guaranteed any SunCor indebtedness. A SunCor debt default would not result in a cross-default of
any of the debt of Pinnacle West or any of its other subsidiaries. As a result, Pinnacle West does
not believe that SunCors inability to obtain waivers or similar relief from SunCors lenders would
have a material adverse impact on Pinnacle Wests cash flows or liquidity.
As of June 30, 2009, SunCor could not transfer any cash dividends to Pinnacle West as a result
of the covenants mentioned above. The restriction does not materially affect Pinnacle Wests
ability to meet its ongoing capital requirements.

5. Regulatory Matters
2008 General Retail Rate Case
Summary of APS Request and Interim Rate Surcharge On June 2, 2008, APS filed with the ACC
updated financial statements, testimony and other data in the general rate case originally filed on
March 24, 2008. In its filing, APS requested a net retail rate increase of $278.2 million
effective no later than October 1, 2009, which represents a base rate increase of $448.2 million
less the reclassification of $170 million of fuel and purchased power revenues from the existing
PSA to base rates.
On December 18, 2008, the ACC approved an emergency interim base rate surcharge for APS. This
surcharge became effective for retail customer bills issued after December 31, 2008 and will
continue in effect until a decision in the general rate case becomes effective. This surcharge
increased annual pretax retail revenues by approximately $65.2 million, and is subject to refund
with interest pending the final outcome of APS general retail rate case.
Proposed Settlement Agreement APS and other parties to the rate case began settlement
discussions on January 30, 2009 and, on June 12, 2009, they entered into an agreement (the
Settlement Agreement) detailing the terms upon which the parties have agreed to settle the rate
case. The Settlement Agreement is conditioned upon approval of the ACC. Testimony filings were
made by APS and other parties to the case in July and additional testimony will be filed in early
August. The ACC has scheduled an evidentiary hearing on the matter commencing on August 19, 2009.
The Settlement Agreement includes a net retail rate increase of $207.5 million, which
represents a base rate increase of $344.7 million less the reclassification of $137.2 million of
fuel and purchased power revenues from the existing PSA to base rates.
The parties also agreed to a rate case filing plan in which APS is prohibited from filing its
next two general rate cases until on or after June 1, 2011 and June 1, 2013, respectively, unless
certain extraordinary events occur. Subject to the foregoing, APS may not request its next general
retail rate increase to be effective prior to July 1, 2012. In addition, the parties will use good
faith efforts to process these subsequent rate cases within twelve months of sufficiency findings
from the ACC staff, which generally occur within 30 days after the filing of a rate case.
Other key provisions of the Settlement Agreement include the following:
|
|
|
A non-fuel base rate increase in annual pretax revenues of $196.3 million, which
would replace the $65.2 million interim base rate surcharge described above; |
|
|
|
A net increase in annual pretax revenues of $11.2 million for fuel and purchased
power costs reflected in base rates that would not otherwise have been recoverable
under the PSA; |
|
|
|
A Base Fuel Rate of $0.0376 per kWh (compared to the current Base Fuel Rate of
$0.0325 per kWh); |

|
Revenue accounting treatment for line extension payments received for new or
upgraded service from January 1, 2010 through year end 2012 (or until new rates are
established in APS next general rate case, if that is before the end of 2012),
resulting in present estimates of increased revenues of $23 million, $25 million and
$49 million, respectively; |
|
|
|
An authorized return on common equity of 11.0%; |
|
|
|
A capital structure comprised of 46.2% debt and 53.8% common equity; |
|
|
|
A commitment from APS to reduce average annual operational expenses by at least $30
million from 2010 through 2014 (an increase of $10 million above the $20 million
required reductions for 2009 ordered by the ACC in its interim rate decision in this
matter); |
|
|
|
Equity infusions into APS of at least $700 million during the period beginning June
1, 2009 through December 31, 2014; and |
|
|
|
Various modifications to the existing energy efficiency, demand-side management and
renewable energy programs that would require APS to, among other things, expand its
conservation and demand-side management programs and its use of renewable energy, as
well as allow for concurrent recovery of renewable energy expenses and provide for more
concurrent recovery of demand-side management costs and incentives. |
If the Settlement Agreement is approved by the ACC, APS expects that its provisions, including
the new rates, would become effective on or about January 1, 2010.
Energy Efficiency, Demand-Side Management and Renewable Energy Programs
In 2006, the ACC approved the Arizona Renewable Energy Standard and Tariff (the RES). Under
the RES, electric utilities that are regulated by the ACC must supply an increasing percentage of
their retail electric energy sales from eligible renewable resources, including solar, wind,
biomass, biogas and geothermal technologies. In order to achieve these requirements, the ACC
allows APS to include an RES surcharge on customer bills to recover the approved amounts for use on
renewable energy projects. On July 1, 2009, APS filed its annual RES implementation plan with the
ACC, which covers the 2010-2014 timeframe and requests approval for RES funding of $85.5 million for
2010, or an increase of $7.1 million above 2009 levels. We expect to receive a determination from
the ACC on this matter by the end of 2009.
On July 15, 2009, APS filed its initial Energy Efficiency Implementation Plan in compliance
with certain provisions of the Settlement Agreement. APS is requesting approval by the ACC of
programs and program elements for which APS has budgeted $49.9 million for 2010. The Plan is also
contingent upon ACC approval of the Settlement Agreement. In order to recover the budgeted amounts
for use on certain demand-side management programs, a surcharge would be added to customer bills
similar to that described above under the RES. The surcharge will offset energy efficiency
expenses and allow for the recovery of any earned incentives. We expect to receive a determination
from the ACC on this matter simultaneously with its decision on the Settlement Agreement.

The PSA annual adjustor rate is reset for a PSA Year effective for a twelve-month period
beginning February 1 each year. The PSA rate for the PSA Year that began February 1, 2008 was set
at $0.004 per kWh. The PSA rate for the PSA year that began February 1, 2009 was set at $0.0053
per kWh. The PSA rate may not be increased more than $0.004 per kWh in a year without permission
of the ACC. The $71 million regulatory liability at June 30, 2009 reflects the seasonal nature of
fuel and purchased power costs and lower average prices. Any uncollected (overcollected) deferrals
during the 2009 PSA Year resulting from this limit will be included in the historical component of
the PSA rate for the PSA Year beginning February 1, 2010.
Formula Transmission Tariff
In July 2008, the FERC approved an Open Access Transmission Tariff for APS to move from fixed
rates to a formula rate-setting methodology in order to more accurately reflect the costs that APS
incurs in providing transmission services. The formula rate is updated each year effective June 1
on the basis of APS actual cost of service, as disclosed in APS FERC Form 1 report for the
previous fiscal year, and projected capital expenditures. A large portion of the rate represents
charges for transmission services to serve APS retail customers (Retail Transmission Charges).
In order to recover the Retail Transmission Charges, APS must file an application with, and obtain
approval from, the ACC under the transmission cost adjustor (TCA) mechanism, by which changes in
Retail Transmission Charges can be reflected in APS retail rates.
In 2009, APS was authorized to implement increases in its annual transmission revenues based
on calculations filed with the FERC using data for its 2008 fiscal year. Increases in APS annual
transmission revenues of $22.8 million became effective
June 1, 2009. Of this amount, $21 million represents an
increase in Retail Transmission Charges which was approved by the ACC
on July 29, 2009 and allows APS to reflect the related increased
Retail Transmission Charges in its retail rates through the TCA
effective August 1, 2009.

Equity Infusion Approval
On May 2, 2008, Pinnacle West filed a notice with the ACC that would allow Pinnacle West to
infuse up to $400 million of equity into APS in the event Pinnacle West deems it appropriate to do
so to strengthen or maintain APS financial integrity. Under Arizona law and implementing
regulatory decisions, Pinnacle West is required to give such notice at least 120 days prior to an
equity infusion into APS that exceeds $150 million in a single calendar year. On August 6, 2008,
the ACC issued an order permitting the infusion to occur on or before December 31, 2009. Pursuant
to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, APS would have authorization to obtain equity infusions
of up to $700 million during the period beginning June 1, 2009 through December 31, 2014, and such
authorization would replace the $400 million authorization described above.
6. Retirement Plans and Other Benefits
Pinnacle West sponsors a qualified defined benefit and account balance pension plan, a
non-qualified supplemental excess benefit retirement plan, and other postretirement benefit plans
for the employees of Pinnacle West and our subsidiaries. Pinnacle West uses a December 31
measurement date for its pension and other postretirement benefit plans. The market-related value
of our plan assets is their fair value at the measurement date.

Contributions
In the first quarter of 2009, IRS regulations were modified to allow alternative measurement
dates to determine the interest rate used to value the year-end 2008 pension liability for funding
purposes. As a result of this change, we estimate our 2009 minimum pension contribution to be
zero. The expected contribution to our other postretirement benefit plans in 2009 is estimated to
be approximately $15 million. APS and other subsidiaries fund their share of the contributions.
APS share is approximately 97% of both plans.

8. Income Taxes
As of June 30, 2009, the tax year ended December 31, 2005 and all subsequent tax years remain
subject to examination by the IRS. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to state income
tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 1999. We do not anticipate that there will be
any significant increases or decreases in our unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
Pinnacle West expects to recognize approximately $100 million of cash tax benefits related to
SunCors strategic asset sales (see Note 21) which will not be realized until the asset sale
transactions are completed. Approximately $80 million of these benefits were recorded in the first
quarter of 2009 as reductions to income tax expense related to the current impairment charges. The
additional $20 million of tax benefits were recorded as reductions to income tax expense related to
the SunCor impairment charge recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008.
The $165 million income tax receivable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets represents
the expected tax benefits related to the SunCor strategic asset sales and other anticipated cash
refunds related to current income taxes.
9. Variable-Interest Entities
In 1986, APS entered into agreements with three separate VIE lessors in order to sell and
lease back interests in Palo Verde Unit 2. The leases are accounted for as operating leases in
accordance with GAAP. We are not the primary beneficiary of the Palo Verde VIEs and, accordingly,
do not consolidate them.
APS is exposed to losses under the Palo Verde sale leaseback agreements upon the occurrence of
certain events that APS does not consider to be reasonably likely to occur. Under certain
circumstances (for example, the NRC issuing specified violation orders with respect to Palo Verde
or the occurrence of specified nuclear events), APS would be required to assume the debt associated
with the transactions, make specified payments to the equity participants, and take title to the
leased Unit 2 interests, which, if appropriate, may be required to be written down in value. If
such an event had occurred as of June 30, 2009, APS would have been required to assume
approximately $167 million of debt and pay the equity participants approximately $161 million. See
Note 15 for a discussion of letters of credit that support certain lessors in the Palo Verde sale
leaseback transactions.
SunCor has certain land development arrangements that are required to be consolidated under
FIN 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. The assets and non-controlling interests
reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to these arrangements were
approximately $29 million at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
In
addition, see Note 19 for a discussion of SFAS No. 167,
Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R).
10. Derivative and Energy Trading Accounting
Our derivative instruments are accounted for at fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 133
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended and interpreted. See
Note 20 for a discussion of fair value measurements. We adopted SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, on January 1, 2009. This new standard requires
enhanced disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities. The adoption of SFAS No.
161 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

PINNACLE WEST CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We are exposed to the impact of market fluctuations in the commodity price and transportation
costs of electricity, natural gas, coal, emissions allowances and in interest rates. We manage
risks associated with these market fluctuations by utilizing various derivative instruments,
including futures, forwards, options and swaps. As part of our overall risk management program, we
may use such instruments to hedge purchases and sales of electricity, fuels, and emissions
allowances and credits. Derivative instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges are used to
limit our exposure to cash flow variability on forecasted transactions. As of June 30, 2009, we
hedged the majority of certain exposures to the price variability of commodities for a maximum of
39 months. The changes in market value of such contracts have a high correlation to price changes
in the hedged transactions.
We enter into derivative instruments for economic hedging purposes. While we believe the
economic hedges mitigate exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices, some of these instruments
are not designated as accounting hedges. Economic hedges not designated as accounting hedges are
recorded at fair value on our balance sheet with changes in fair value recognized in the statement
of income as incurred. These instruments are included in the non-designated hedges discussion and
disclosure below.
Accounting hedges must meet specific hedging requirements for designation. Accounting hedges,
which do not meet the normal purchase and sales scope exception (as discussed below), are
recognized at fair value as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet.
Hedge effectiveness is the degree to which the derivative instrument contract and the hedged
item are correlated and is measured based on the relative changes in fair value between the
derivative instrument contract and the hedged item over time. We assess hedge effectiveness both at
inception and on a continuing basis. These assessments exclude the time value of certain options.
For accounting hedges that are deemed an effective hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss
on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and
reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.
We recognize in current earnings the gains and losses representing hedge ineffectiveness, and the
gains and losses on any hedge components which are excluded from our effectiveness assessment.
Derivative instruments for the physical delivery of purchase and sale quantities transacted in
the normal course of business qualify for the normal purchase and sales scope exception and are
accounted for under the accrual method of accounting. Due to the scope exception, these derivative
instruments are excluded from our derivative instrument discussion and disclosures below.
We may also invest in derivative instruments for trading purposes; however, for the six months
ended June 30, 2009, there was no material trading activity.
In the electricity business, some contracts to purchase energy are netted against other
contracts to sell energy. This is called book-out and usually occurs in contracts that have the
same terms (quantities and delivery points) and for which power does not flow. We net these
book-outs, which reduces both revenues and fuel and purchased power costs in our Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Income, but this does not impact our financial condition, net income or
cash flows.
For its regulated operations, APS defers for future rate treatment approximately 90% of gains
and losses on certain derivatives that would otherwise be recognized in income pursuant to the PSA
mechanism. Unless otherwise noted, gains and losses from derivatives in the following tables
represent the amounts reflected as income after the effect of PSA deferrals.

market price changes for the related hedged transactions. In accordance with the PSA, at least 90%
of these amounts will be recorded as either a regulatory asset or liability and have no effect on
earnings (see Note 5).

Derivative instrument assets and liabilities in the table are reported on a gross basis and
exclude cash collateral and margin accounts. Transactions with counterparties that have master
netting arrangements are reported net on the balance sheet, including cash collateral and margin in
accordance with FSP FIN 39-1.
Credit Risk and Credit Related Contingent Features
We are exposed to losses in the event of nonperformance or nonpayment by counterparties. We
have risk management and trading contracts with many counterparties, including one counterparty for
which our exposure represents approximately 42% of Pinnacle Wests $68 million of risk management
and trading assets as of June 30, 2009. This exposure relates to a long-term traditional wholesale
contract with a counterparty that has very high credit quality. Our risk management process
assesses and monitors the financial exposure of all counterparties. Despite the fact that the
great majority of trading counterparties debt is rated as investment grade by the credit rating
agencies, there is still a possibility that one or more of these companies could default, resulting
in a material impact on consolidated earnings for a given period. Counterparties in the portfolio
consist principally of financial institutions, major energy companies, municipalities and local
distribution companies. We maintain credit policies that we believe minimize overall credit risk
to within acceptable limits. Determination of the credit quality of our counterparties is based
upon a number of factors, including credit ratings and our evaluation of their financial condition.
To manage credit risk, we employ collateral requirements and standardized agreements that allow
for the netting of positive and negative exposures associated with a single counterparty.
Valuation adjustments are established representing our estimated credit losses on our overall
exposure to counterparties.
22
PINNACLE WEST CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Certain of our derivative instrument contracts contain credit-risk-related contingent features
including, among other things, investment grade credit rating provisions, credit-related cross
default provisions, and adequate assurance provisions. Adequate assurance provisions allow a
counterparty with reasonable grounds for uncertainty to demand additional collateral based on
subjective events and/or conditions. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with
credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position on June 30, 2009 was $417
million for which we had posted collateral of $165 million in the normal course of business.
For those derivative instruments in a net liability position, with investment grade credit
contingencies, the counterparties could demand additional collateral if our debt were to fall below
investment grade (below BBB- for S&P or Fitch, or Baa3 for Moodys), which would be a violation of
the credit rating provisions. If the investment grade contingent features underlying these
agreements had been triggered on June 30, 2009, after off-setting asset positions under master
netting arrangements we would have been required to post approximately an additional $140 million
of collateral to our counterparties; this amount includes those contracts which qualify for scope
exceptions, which are excluded from the derivative details in the above footnote. We also have
energy related non-derivative instrument contracts with investment grade credit-related contingent
features which could also require us to post additional collateral of approximately $200 million if
our debt were to fall below investment grade.

12. Commitments and Contingencies
Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station
Spent Nuclear Fuel and Waste Disposal
Nuclear power plant operators are required to enter into spent fuel disposal contracts with
the DOE, and the DOE is required to accept and dispose of all spent nuclear fuel and other
high-level radioactive wastes generated by domestic power reactors. Although the Nuclear Waste
Policy Act required the DOE to develop a permanent repository for the storage and disposal of spent
nuclear fuel by 1998, the DOE has announced that the repository cannot be completed before at least
2017. In November 1997, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit
(D.C. Circuit) issued a decision preventing the DOE from excusing its own delay, but refused to
order the DOE to begin accepting spent nuclear fuel. Based on this decision and the DOEs delay, a
number of utilities, including APS (on behalf of itself and the other Palo Verde owners), filed
damages actions against the DOE in the Court of Federal Claims. APS is currently pursuing that
damages claim. In August 2008, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued
decisions in three damages actions brought by other nuclear utilities that could result in a
decrease in the amount of our recoverable damages; however, additional appeals in those actions are
possible and APS continues to monitor the status of those actions. The trial in the APS matter
began on January 28, 2009, and closing arguments were heard in late May. The court has not
indicated when it will reach its decision in the matter.
APS currently estimates it will incur $132 million (in 2009 dollars) over the current life of
Palo Verde for its share of the costs related to the on-site interim storage of spent nuclear fuel.
At June 30, 2009, APS had a regulatory liability of $28 million that represents amounts recovered
in retail rates in excess of amounts spent for on-site interim spent fuel storage.
Purchased Power and Fuel Commitments
APS is party to various purchased power and fuel contracts that include required purchase
provisions. APS estimates the contract requirements to be approximately $569 million in 2009; $406
million in 2010; $333 million in 2011; $347 million in 2012; $483 million in 2013; and $10.9
billion thereafter. However, these amounts may vary significantly pursuant to certain provisions
in such contracts that permit us to decrease required purchases under certain circumstances. These
amounts have increased since the 2008 Form 10-K primarily due to purchased power and fuel
commitments, predominately a contingent renewable purchased power agreement with Starwood Solar I
for a 290MW solar project scheduled for completion in 2013.

California Energy Market Issues and Refunds in the Pacific Northwest
FERC
In July 2001, the FERC ordered an expedited fact-finding hearing to calculate refunds for spot
market transactions in California during a specified time frame. APS was a seller and a purchaser
in the California markets at issue and, to the extent that refunds are ordered, APS should be a
recipient as well as a payor of such amounts. In addition, on March 19, 2002, the State of
California filed a complaint with the FERC alleging that wholesale sellers of power and energy,
including APS, failed to properly file rate information at the FERC in connection with sales to
California from 2000 to March 2002 under market-based rates. Since 2004, the Ninth Circuit and the
FERC have issued various decisions and orders involving the aforementioned issues, including decisions related to:
entities subject to FERC jurisdiction and, therefore, potentially owing refunds; applicable refund
methodologies; the temporal scope and types of transactions that are properly subject to the refund
orders; and the appropriate standard of review at the FERC on wholesale power contracts in the
refund proceedings. A settlement, resolving APS issues with certain California parties for the
current refund period, was approved by the FERC in an order issued on June 30, 2008. The
resolution of the claims related to the parties involved in this settlement had no material adverse
impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We currently believe the
refund claims at the FERC related to the parties not involved in this settlement will have no
material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On July 25, 2001, the FERC also ordered an evidentiary proceeding to discuss and evaluate
possible refunds for wholesale sales in the Pacific Northwest. The FERC affirmed the ALJs
conclusion that the prices in the Pacific Northwest were not unreasonable or unjust and refunds
should not be ordered in this proceeding. This decision was appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the Ninth Circuit. On August 24, 2007, the Ninth Circuit issued an opinion that remanded the
proceeding to the FERC for further consideration. Petitions for rehearing of this opinion were
filed. Although the FERC has not yet determined whether any refunds will ultimately be required,
we do not expect that the resolution of these issues will have a material adverse impact on our
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Superfund
Superfund establishes liability for the cleanup of hazardous substances found contaminating
the soil, water or air. Those who generated, transported or disposed of hazardous substances at a
contaminated site are among those who are PRPs. PRPs may be strictly, and often are jointly and
severally, liable for clean-up. On September 3, 2003, the EPA advised APS that the EPA considers
APS to be a PRP in the Motorola 52nd Street Superfund Site, Operable Unit 3 (OU3) in
Phoenix, Arizona. APS has facilities that are within this Superfund site. APS and Pinnacle West
have agreed with the EPA to perform certain investigative activities of the APS facilities within
OU3. Because the investigation has not yet been completed and ultimate remediation requirements
are not yet finalized, at the present time neither APS nor Pinnacle West can accurately estimate
the expenditures that may be required.

Salt River Project
Salt River Project previously notified APS that Salt River Project allegedly failed to bill
APS for (a) energy losses under certain service schedules of a power contract between the parties
and (b) certain other charges under the contract. Salt River Project asserted that certain of
these failures to bill APS for such losses and charges may have extended back to 1996 and, as a
result, claimed that APS owed it approximately $29 million, which APS disputed. The parties
entered into a settlement agreement on April 9, 2009, resolving these matters. The resolution had
no material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Landlord Bankruptcy
On April 16, 2009, the landlord for our corporate headquarters building announced that it is
seeking relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. We currently have several
assets on our books related to our landlord, the most significant of which is an asset related to
rent payments for the building of approximately $64 million. This amount will continue to increase
to approximately $94 million as a result of the lease terms until 2015 when this amount will begin
to decrease over the remaining life of the lease. We are monitoring this matter and, while there
can be no assurances as to the ultimate outcome of the matter due to the complexity of the
bankruptcy proceedings, we currently do not expect that it will have a material adverse effect on
our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Litigation
We are party to various other claims, legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary
course of business, including but not limited to environmental matters related to the Clean Air
Act, Navajo Nation issues and EPA and ADEQ issues. In our opinion, the ultimate resolution of
these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
13. Nuclear Insurance
The Palo Verde participants are insured against public liability for a nuclear incident up to
$12.5 billion per occurrence. As required by the Price Anderson Act, Palo Verde maintains the
maximum available nuclear liability insurance in the amount of $300 million, which is provided by
commercial insurance carriers. The remaining balance of $12.2 billion is provided through a
mandatory industry wide retrospective assessment program. If losses at any nuclear power plant
covered by the program exceed the accumulated funds, APS could be assessed retrospective premium
adjustments. The maximum assessment per reactor under the program for each nuclear incident is
approximately $118 million, subject to an annual limit of $18 million per incident, to be
periodically adjusted for inflation. Based on APS interest in the three Palo Verde units, APS
maximum potential assessment per incident for all three units is approximately $103 million, with
an annual payment limitation of approximately $15 million.
28
PINNACLE WEST CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Palo Verde participants maintain all risk (including nuclear hazards) insurance for
property damage to, and decontamination of, property at Palo Verde in the aggregate amount of $2.75
billion, a substantial portion of which must first be applied to stabilization and decontamination.
APS has also secured insurance against portions of any increased cost of generation or purchased
power and business interruption resulting from a sudden and unforeseen accidental outage of any of
the three units. The property damage, decontamination, and replacement power coverages are
provided by Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited (NEIL). APS is subject to retrospective assessments
under all NEIL policies if NEILs losses in any policy year exceed accumulated funds. The maximum
amount APS could incur under the current NEIL policies totals approximately $21 million for each
retrospective assessment declared by NEILs Board of Directors due to losses. In addition, NEIL
policies contain rating triggers that would result in APS providing approximately $56 million of
collateral assurance within 20 business days of a rating downgrade to non-investment grade. The
insurance coverage discussed in this and the previous paragraph is subject to certain policy
conditions and exclusions.

15. Guarantees
We have issued parental guarantees and obtained letters of credit and surety bonds on behalf
of some of our subsidiaries.
Our parental guarantees for APS relate to commodity energy products. As required by Arizona
law, Pinnacle West has also obtained a $10 million bond on behalf of APS in connection with the
interim base rate surcharge approved by the ACC in December 2008. In addition, Pinnacle West has
obtained approximately $8 million of surety bonds related to APS operations, which primarily relate
to self-insured workers compensation. Our credit support instruments enable APSES to offer
energy-related products and services. Non-performance or non-payment under the original contract
by our subsidiaries would require us to perform under the guarantee or surety bond. No liability
is currently recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to Pinnacle Wests
current outstanding guarantees on behalf of our subsidiaries. At June 30, 2009 we had no
guarantees that were in default. Our guarantees have no recourse or collateral provisions to allow
us to recover from our subsidiaries amounts paid under the guarantees. The amounts and approximate
terms of our guarantees and surety bonds for each subsidiary at June 30, 2009 are as follows

APS has entered into various agreements that require letters of credit for financial assurance
purposes. At June 30, 2009, approximately $200 million of letters of credit were outstanding to
support existing pollution control bonds of approximately $200 million. The letters of credit are
available to fund the payment of principal and interest of such debt obligations and expire in
2010. APS has also entered into approximately $70 million of letters of credit to support certain
equity lessors in the Palo Verde sale leaseback transactions (see Note 9 for further details on the
Palo Verde sale leaseback transactions). These letters of credit expire in 2010. APS intends to
provide from either existing or new facilities for the extension, renewal or substitution of the
letters of credit to the extent required.
We enter into agreements that include indemnification provisions relating to liabilities
arising from or related to certain of our agreements; most significantly, APS has agreed to
indemnify the equity participants and other parties in the Palo Verde sale leaseback transactions
with respect to certain tax matters. Generally, a maximum obligation is not explicitly stated in
the indemnification provisions and, therefore, the overall maximum amount of the obligation under
such indemnification provisions cannot be reasonably estimated. Based on historical experience and
evaluation of the specific indemnities, we do not believe that any material loss related to such
indemnification provisions is likely.

Dilutive stock options and performance shares (which are contingently issuable) increased
average common shares outstanding by approximately 84,000 shares and 264,000 shares for the three
months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 respectively, and by approximately 269,000 shares for the six
months ended June 30, 2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 the weighted average common
shares outstanding were the same for both basic and diluted shares.
Options to purchase 599,324 shares of common stock for the three-month period ended June 30,
2009, and 713,291 shares for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008 were outstanding but were
excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options exercise prices
were greater than the average market price of the common shares. Options to purchase 612,424
shares and 688,167 shares of common stock for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and June
30, 2008, respectively, were outstanding but were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings
per share because the impact of including those options would be antidilutive.
17. Discontinued Operations
SunCor (real estate segment) In 2009 and 2008, SunCor sold or expects to sell properties
that are required to be reported as discontinued operations on Pinnacle Wests Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Income in accordance with SFAS No. 144. SFAS No. 144 requires
reclassification of certain prior-year amounts from operations to discontinued operations. Assets
held for sale relate to properties in the amount of $29 million at June 30, 2009. These properties
were classified as home inventory and real estate investments at December 31, 2008. In addition,
see Note 21 Real Estate Impairment Charge.
APSES (other) Includes activities related to discontinued commodity-related energy services
in 2008, and the associated revenues and costs that were reclassified to discontinued operations in
2008.

18. Nuclear Decommissioning Trust
To fund the costs APS expects to incur to decommission Palo Verde, APS established external
decommissioning trusts in accordance with NRC regulations. APS invests the trust funds in fixed
income securities and domestic equity securities. APS applies the provisions of SFAS No. 115,
Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, in accounting for investments
in decommissioning trust funds, and classifies these investments as available for sale. As a
result, we record the decommissioning trust funds at their fair value on our Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheets. Because of the ability of APS to recover decommissioning costs in rates and in
accordance with the regulatory treatment for decommissioning trust funds, we have recorded the
offsetting amount of gains or losses on investment securities in other regulatory liabilities or
assets. The following table summarizes the fair value of APS nuclear decommissioning
trust fund assets at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 (dollars in millions):

See Note 20 for a discussion of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which we adopted for
our non-financial assets on January 1, 2009. This guidance was adopted for our financial assets on
January 1, 2008.
On
April 1, 2009 we adopted FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the
Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and
Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly; FSP Nos. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2,
Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary
Impairments; and FSP No. FAS
107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. These staff
positions provided guidance on fair value measurements, impairments, and disclosures. Adoption of
these staff positions did not have a material impact on our financial statements. See Note 20 for a
discussion of fair value measurements.
33
PINNACLE WEST CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
See Note 10 for a discussion of SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities an amendment to SFAS No. 133, which we adopted January 1, 2009.
We adopted SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an
amendment of ARB No. 51, on January 1, 2009. This guidance provides accounting and reporting
standards for noncontrolling interests in a consolidated subsidiary and clarifies that
noncontrolling interests should be reported as equity on the consolidated financial statements. As
a result of adopting this guidance, we have disclosed on the face of our financial statements the
portion of equity and net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests in consolidated
subsidiaries. Additionally, we reclassified $47 million of noncontrolling interests from Other
Deferred Credits to Equity on the December 31, 2008 Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheets. Prior years net income
attributable to noncontrolling interests was not material to our
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and was not
reclassified. The adoption of this guidance modified our financial statement presentation, but
did not have an impact on our financial statement results.
On
January 1, 2009, we adopted FSP No. EITF 03-6-1 (FSP EITF 03-6-1),
Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating
Securities. FSP EITF 03-6-1 requires companies to treat unvested share-based payment awards that
have nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents as participating securities when
computing earnings per share, pursuant to the two-class method described in SFAS No. 128, Earnings
Per Share. Our awards do not have nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents and
therefore, the adoption of this FSP did not have any impact on our financial statements.
In
May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent
Events, which establishes general
standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but
before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. We adopted this guidance
during the second quarter of 2009. The adoption of this Standard did not have a material impact on
our financial statements.
In
June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162.
This Standard establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative
accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by entities in the preparation of
financial statements in conformity with US GAAP. This guidance is
effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after September
15, 2009. The adoption of this Standard will not have a material impact on our financial
statements.
In
December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1, Employers
Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets. This guidance requires enhanced employers
disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. The
guidance is effective for us on December 31, 2009. We do not expect it to have a material impact
on our financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R).
This Statement amends certain requirements of FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities, to improve financial reporting and provide more relevant and reliable
information by enterprises involved with variable interest entities. This guidance is effective
for us on January 1, 2010. We are currently evaluating this new guidance and the impact it may
have on our financial statements.

PINNACLE WEST CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
20. Fair Value Measurements
In accordance with GAAP, we are required to disclose the fair value of certain assets and
liabilities according to a fair value hierarchy. This hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability
of the inputs used to determine fair values, which are then classified and disclosed in one of
three categories. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Active
markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient
frequency and volume to provide information on an ongoing basis. This category includes our
derivative instruments that are exchange-traded such as futures, cash equivalents invested
in exchange-traded money market funds, and nuclear decommissioning
trust investments in
Treasury securities.
Level 2 Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices
in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable.
Derivative instruments in this category include nonexchange-traded contracts such as
forwards, options, and swaps. This category also includes our nuclear decommissioning trust
assets in bonds and commingled equity funds. We
consider broker quotes observable inputs when the quote is binding on the broker, we can
validate the quote with market transactions, or we can determine that the inputs the broker
used to arrive at the quoted price are observable. Quarterly and calendar year quotes from
independent brokers are converted into monthly prices using historical relationships.
Level 3 Model-derived valuations with unobservable inputs that are supported by little or
no market activity. Instruments in this category include long-dated derivative transactions
where models are required due to the length of the transaction, options, and transactions in
locations where observable market data does not exist. The valuation models we employ
utilize spot prices, forward prices, historical market data and other factors to forecast
future prices. The primary valuation technique we use to calculate the fair value of
contracts where price quotes are not available is based on the extrapolation of forward
pricing curves using observable market data for more liquid delivery points in the same
region and actual transactions at the more illiquid delivery points. We also value option
contracts using a variation of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input
that is significant to the fair value measurement. We maximize the use of observable inputs and
minimize the use of unobservable inputs. If market data is not readily available, inputs may
reflect our own assumptions about the inputs market participants would use. Our assessment of the
significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect
the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value
hierarchy levels. Thus, a valuation may be classified in Level 3 even though the valuation may
include significant inputs that are readily observable.
For non-exchange traded contracts, we calculate fair market value based on the average of the
bid and offer price, discounted to reflect net present value. We maintain certain valuation
adjustments for a number of risks associated with the valuation of future commitments. These
include valuation adjustments for liquidity and credit risks based on the financial condition of
counterparties. The liquidity valuation adjustment represents the cost that would be incurred if
all unmatched positions were closed-out or hedged.
35
PINNACLE WEST CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The credit valuation adjustment represents estimated credit losses on our overall exposure to
counterparties, taking into account netting arrangements, expected default experience for the
credit rating of the counterparties and the overall diversification of the portfolio.
Counterparties in the portfolio consist principally of major energy companies, municipalities,
local distribution companies and financial institutions. We maintain credit policies that
management believes minimize overall credit risk. Determination of the credit quality of
counterparties is based upon a number of factors, including credit ratings, financial condition,
project economics and collateral requirements. When applicable, we employ standardized agreements
that allow for the netting of positive and negative exposures associated with a single
counterparty.
We apply recurring fair value measurements to derivative instruments, nuclear decommissioning
trusts, and certain cash equivalents. We may be required to record other assets at fair value on a
nonrecurring basis. These nonrecurring fair value measurements typically involve write-downs of
individual assets due to impairment.
Some of our derivative instrument transactions are valued based on unobservable inputs due to
the long-term nature of contracts or the unique location of the transactions. Our long-dated
energy transactions consist of observable valuations for the near term portion and unobservable
valuations for the long-term portions of the transaction. When the unobservable portion is
significant to the overall valuation of the transaction, the entire transaction is classified as
Level 3. Our classification of instruments as Level 3 is primarily reflective of the long-term
nature of our energy transactions, and is not reflective of material inactive markets.
The nuclear decommissioning trust invests in fixed income securities directly and equity
securities indirectly through commingled funds. Commingled funds are valued based on the fund share
price and are classified within Level 2. The commingled funds underlying investments would be
Level 1 if the investments were held directly by the trust. Our trustee provides valuation of our
nuclear decommissioning trust assets by using pricing services to determine fair market value. We
assess these valuations and verify that pricing can be supported by actual recent market
transactions. The trust fund investments have been established to satisfy APS nuclear
decommissioning obligations (see Note 18).

PINNACLE WEST CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In
accordance with FSP FAS 157-2, we adopted SFAS No. 157 for our nonfinancial assets and
liabilities on January 1, 2009, and it did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
We apply nonrecurring fair value measurements to certain real estate assets. These adjustments to
fair value are the result of write-downs of individual assets due to impairment. Certain of our
real estate assets have been impaired due to the distressed real estate market. We determine fair
value for our real estate assets primarily based on the future cash flows that we estimate will be
generated by each asset discounted for market risk. These fair value determinations require
significant judgment regarding key assumptions. Due to these unobservable inputs the valuation of
real estate assets are considered Level 3 measurements.
As of June 30, 2009, the fair value of our impaired real estate assets that are measured at
fair value on a nonrecurring basis was $148 million, all of which was valued using significant
unobservable inputs (Level 3). Total impairment charges included in net loss for the quarter ended
June 30, 2009 were approximately $6 million and $222 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009
(including net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests of $14 million before income taxes).
See Note 21 for additional information.
21. Real Estate Impairment Charge
During the first quarter of 2009, SunCor undertook and completed a review of its assets and
strategies within its various markets as a result of the then current and anticipated continuing
distressed conditions in real estate and credit markets. Based on the results of the review, on
March 27, 2009, SunCors Board of Directors authorized a series of strategic transactions to
dispose of SunCors homebuilding operations, master-planned communities, and golf courses in order
to reduce SunCors outstanding debt. This resulted in a pretax impairment charge of approximately
$202 million, or $123 million after income taxes, in the first quarter of 2009. During the second
quarter of 2009, SunCor reassessed market conditions and recorded an additional pretax
impairment charge of approximately $6 million, or $4 million after income taxes. Of the total $208
million impairment charge for the six months ended June 30, 2009, approximately $15 million related
to assets held for sale and approximately $193 million related
to held and used assets. We believe that most of the assets to be
sold do not meet the held for sale criteria as of June 30, 2009
because of the uncertainties related to the current market conditions
and obtaining necessary approvals. The detail
of the impairment charge is as follows (dollars in millions):

We
estimate the fair value of our real estate assets primarily based on either the future cash
flows that we estimate will be generated by each asset discounted at
a rate we believe market participants would use, or on independent
appraisals. Our impairment assessments and fair value determinations require significant judgment
regarding key assumptions such as future sales prices, future construction and land development
costs, future sales timing, and discount rates. The assumptions are specific to each project and
may vary among projects. The weighted average discount rates we used
to estimate fair values at
June 30, 2009 ranged from 11% to 29%. Due to the judgment and assumptions applied in the
estimation process, with regard to
impairments, it is possible that actual results could differ from those estimates. If
conditions in the broader economy or the real estate markets worsen, or as a result of a change in
SunCors strategy, we may be required to record additional impairments.

PINNACLE WEST CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SunCor also recorded in the first quarter approximately $8 million of pretax severance and
other charges relating to these actions. Pinnacle West does not expect that any of the impairment
charges will result in future cash expenditures, other than immaterial disposition costs.
The SunCor Secured Revolver matures in January 2010 and requires SunCor to reduce its
outstanding borrowings by specified amounts over the term of the facility. As of June 30, 2009,
approximately $108 million of borrowings were outstanding under the SunCor Secured Revolver and
approximately $67 million of debt was outstanding under other SunCor credit facilities. SunCor
intends to apply the proceeds of planned asset sales to the repayment of the SunCor Secured
Revolver and SunCors other outstanding debt. The impairment charges discussed above and the
maturity and non-payment of approximately $7 million of project loans resulted in violations of
certain covenants contained in the SunCor Secured Revolver and SunCors other credit facilities.
SunCor has obtained a forbearance agreement from the SunCor Secured Revolver lenders under which
those lenders have agreed not to enforce any of their remedies under the SunCor Secured Revolver
until August 15, 2009. SunCor remains in discussions with these lenders to modify the SunCor
Secured Revolver to resolve the covenant defaults and extend the principal repayment provisions in
a manner that more closely corresponds to SunCors planned asset sales. SunCor also is seeking
extensions, waivers or similar relief from its other lenders and, while doing so, continues to make
current interest payments to its lenders. If SunCor is unable to obtain additional extensions,
waivers or similar relief from its lenders, SunCor could be required to immediately repay its
outstanding indebtedness under the SunCor Secured Revolver and its other credit facilities. Such
debt acceleration would have a material adverse impact on SunCors business and its financial
position. Neither Pinnacle West nor any of its other subsidiaries has guaranteed any SunCor
indebtedness. A SunCor debt default would not result in a cross-default of any of the debt of
Pinnacle West or any of its other subsidiaries. As a result, Pinnacle West does not believe that
SunCors inability to obtain waivers or similar relief from SunCors lenders would have a material
adverse impact on Pinnacle Wests cash flows or liquidity.

Item 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Pinnacle Wests Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements and Arizona Public Service Companys Condensed Financial
Statements and the related Notes that appear in Item 1 of this report.
OVERVIEW
Pinnacle West owns all of the outstanding common stock of APS. APS is a vertically-integrated
electric utility that provides retail and wholesale electric service to most of the state of
Arizona, with the major exceptions of about one-half of the Phoenix metropolitan area, the Tucson
metropolitan area and Mohave County in northwestern Arizona. APS has historically accounted for a
substantial part of our revenues and earnings, and is expected to continue to do so.
While growth in APS service territory has been an important driver of our revenues and
earnings, it has significantly slowed, reflecting recessionary economic conditions both nationally
and in Arizona. Customer growth averaged 3% a year for the three years 2006 through 2008. We
currently expect customer growth to average about 1% per year during 2009 through 2011; however, we
currently project that our customer growth will begin to accelerate as the economy recovers. APS
actual retail electricity sales have also slowed. For the three years 2006 through 2008, such
kilowatt-hour sales grew at an average annual rate of 2.9%; adjusted to exclude the effects of
weather variations, such retail sales growth also averaged 2.9% a year. We currently estimate that
total retail electricity sales in kilowatt-hours will remain flat on average per year during 2009
through 2011, including the effects of APS energy efficiency programs but excluding the effects of
weather variations.
The near-term economic conditions are reflected in the recent volatility and disruption of the
credit markets, as discussed in detail under Pinnacle West Consolidated Liquidity and Capital
Resources below. Despite these conditions, Pinnacle West and APS currently have ample borrowing
capacity under their respective credit facilities and have been able to access these facilities,
ensuring adequate liquidity for each company.
Our cash flows and profitability are affected by the electricity rates APS may charge and the
timely recovery of costs through those rates. APS retail rates are regulated by the ACC and its
wholesale electric rates (primarily for transmission) are regulated by the FERC. APS capital
expenditure requirements, which are discussed below under Pinnacle West Consolidated Liquidity
and Capital Resources, are substantial because of increased costs related to environmental
compliance and controls and system reliability, as well as continuing, though slowed, customer
growth in APS service territory.
APS needs timely recovery through rates of its capital and operating expenditures to maintain
adequate financial health. See Factors Affecting Our Financial Outlook below. On March 24,
2008, APS filed a rate case with the ACC, which it updated on June 2, 2008, requesting, among other
things, an increase in retail rates to help defray rising infrastructure costs, approval of an
impact fee and approval of new conservation rates. On January 30, 2009, APS and other parties to
the rate case began settlement discussions and, on June 12, 2009, they filed a proposed settlement
agreement with the ACC. See Note 5
for details regarding this rate case, including the ACCs approval of an interim base rate
surcharge pending the outcome of the case and a discussion of the Settlement Agreement and related
timeline.
50
During the first quarter of 2009, SunCor undertook and completed a review of its assets and
strategies within its various markets as a result of the then current and anticipated continuing
distressed conditions in real estate and credit markets. Based on the results of the review, on
March 27, 2009, SunCors Board of Directors authorized a series of strategic transactions to
dispose of SunCors homebuilding operations, master-planned communities, and golf courses in order
to reduce SunCors outstanding debt. This resulted in a pretax impairment charge of approximately
$202 million, or $123 million after income taxes, in the first quarter of 2009. During the second
quarter of 2009, SunCor reassessed market conditions and recorded an additional pretax
impairment charge of approximately $6 million, or $4 million after income taxes. We believe that most of the assets to be
sold do not meet the held for sale criteria as of June 30, 2009
because of the uncertainties related to the current market conditions
and obtaining necessary approvals. See Liquidity
and Capital Resources Other Subsidiaries SunCor below for a discussion of SunCors
outstanding debt and related matters.
Our other principal first tier subsidiaries, El Dorado and APSES, are not expected to have any
material impact on our financial results, or to require any material amounts of capital, over the
next three years.
See Factors Affecting Our Financial Outlook below for a discussion of several factors that
could affect our future financial results.
EARNINGS CONTRIBUTION BY BUSINESS SEGMENT
Pinnacle Wests two reportable business segments are:
|
|
|
our regulated electricity segment, which consists of traditional regulated retail
and wholesale electricity businesses (primarily electric service to Native Load
customers) and related activities and includes electricity generation, transmission and
distribution; and |
|
|
|
our real estate segment, which consists of SunCors real estate development and
investment activities. |

Regulated Electricity Segment Revenues
Regulated electricity segment revenues were $17 million lower for the three months ended June
30, 2009 compared with the prior year period primarily because of:
|
|
|
a $26 million decrease in retail revenues related to recovery of PSA deferrals,
which had no earnings effect because of amortization of the same amount recorded as
fuel and purchased power expense (see Note 5); |
|
|
|
a $23 million decrease in retail revenues primarily related to lower usage,
excluding weather effects; |
|
|
|
an $18 million decrease in revenues from Off-System Sales due to lower market
prices; |
53
|
|
|
a $19 million increase in retail revenues due to the effects of weather; |
|
|
|
a $19 million increase in retail revenues due to an interim rate increase effective
January 2009 and transmission rate increases (including related retail rates); |
|
|
|
a $16 million increase in renewable energy and demand side management surcharges
which are offset by operations and maintenance expense (see Note 5); and |
|
|
|
a $4 million net decrease due to miscellaneous factors. |
Real Estate Segment Revenues
Real estate segment revenues were $7 million lower for the three months ended June 30, 2009
compared with the prior year period primarily because of lower residential property and parcel
sales as a result of the distressed real estate market.
All Other Revenues
Other revenues were $21 million lower for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared with
the prior year period because of planned reductions of marketing and trading activities.

decrease of approximately $487 million in net cash provided by operating activities is
primarily due to changes in collateral and margin cash balances as a result of changes in commodity
prices and other changes in working capital.
The increase of approximately $162 million in net cash used for investing activities is
primarily due to the timing of pollution control auction rate securities redemptions (see Note 4)
and lower real estate sales primarily due to a commercial property sale in 2008, partially offset
by lower levels of capital expenditures (see table and discussion below).
The
increase of approximately $520 million in net cash provided by financing activities is
primarily due to APS issuance of $500 million of unsecured senior notes. A portion of these
proceeds were used to repay short-term borrowings. In addition, there was the issuance of $343
million of pollution control bonds, a portion of which was used to redeem $179 million of APS
existing pollution control bonds. The remaining $164 million was deposited in a restricted trust
fund for bond redemption of auction rate securities in July 2009 (see Note 4).

Generation includes nuclear fuel expenditures of approximately $60 million to
$80 million per year for 2009, 2010 and 2011. |
|
(b) |
|
Primarily information systems and facilities projects. |
Distribution and transmission capital expenditures are comprised of infrastructure additions
and upgrades, capital replacements, new customer construction and related information systems and
facility costs. Examples of the types of projects included in the forecast include power lines,
substations, line extensions to new residential and commercial developments and upgrades to
customer information systems, partially offset by contributions in aid of construction in
accordance with APS line extension policy.
Generation capital expenditures are comprised of various improvements to APS existing fossil
and nuclear plants. Examples of the types of projects included in this category are additions,
upgrades and capital replacements of various power plant equipment such as turbines, boilers and
environmental equipment. Environmental expenditures differ for each of the years 2009, 2010 and
2011, with the lowest year estimated at approximately $25 million, and the highest year estimated
at approximately $80 million. We are also monitoring the status of certain environmental matters,
which, depending on their final outcome, could require modification to our environmental
expenditures. (See Environmental Matters EPA Environmental Regulation Regional Haze Rules
in Part II, Item 5 below and Environmental Matters EPA Environmental Regulation Mercury in
Part II, Item 5 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.)
57
Capital expenditures will be funded with internally generated cash and/or external financings,
which may include issuances of long-term debt and Pinnacle West common stock.
Pinnacle West (Parent Company)
Our primary cash needs are for dividends to our shareholders and principal and interest
payments on our long-term debt. The level of our common stock dividends and future dividend growth
will be dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, payout ratio trends, free
cash flow and financial market conditions.
On July 22, 2009, the Pinnacle West Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.525
per share of common stock, payable on September 1, 2009, to shareholders of record on August 3,
2009.
Our
primary sources of cash are dividends from APS and external debt and equity financings. In addition, Pinnacle West expects to recognize
approximately $100 million of cash tax benefits related to SunCors strategic asset sales which
will not be realized until the asset sale transactions are completed. Approximately $80 million of
these benefits were recorded in the first quarter of 2009 as reductions to income tax expense
related to the current impairment charges. The additional $20 million of tax benefits were
recorded as reductions in income tax expense related to the impairment charge recorded in the
fourth quarter of 2008.
An existing ACC order requires APS to maintain a common equity ratio of at least 40% and
prohibits APS from paying common stock dividends if the payment would reduce its common equity
below that threshold. As defined in the ACC order, the common equity ratio is common equity
divided by the sum of common equity and long-term debt, including current maturities of long-term
debt. At June 30, 2009, APS common equity ratio, as defined, was approximately 48%.
The credit and liquidity markets experienced significant stress beginning the week of
September 15, 2008. While Pinnacle Wests and APS ability to issue commercial paper has been
negatively impacted by the market stress, they have both been able to access existing credit
facilities, ensuring adequate liquidity.
Pinnacle West (parent company) has a $283 million revolving credit facility that terminates in
December 2010. The revolver is available to support the issuance of up to $250 million in
commercial paper or to be used as bank borrowings, including issuances of letters of credit of up
to $94 million. At June 30, 2009, the parent company had outstanding $177 million of borrowings
under its revolving credit facility and no letters of credit. It also had no commercial paper
outstanding at June 30, 2009. At June 30, 2009, the parent company had remaining capacity
available under its revolver of approximately $106 million.
58
Pinnacle West sponsors a qualified defined benefit and account balance pension plan and a
non-qualified supplemental excess benefit retirement plan for the employees of Pinnacle West and
our subsidiaries. IRS regulations require us to contribute a minimum amount to the qualified plan.
We contribute at least the minimum amount required under IRS regulations, but no more than the
maximum tax-deductible amount. The minimum required funding takes into consideration the value of
plan assets and our pension obligation. The assets in the plan are comprised of fixed-income, equity,
real estate and short-term investments. Future year contribution amounts are dependent on plan
asset performance and plan actuarial assumptions. We contributed $35 million to our pension plan
in 2008. In the first quarter of 2009, IRS regulations were modified to allow alternative
measurement dates to determine the interest rate used to value the
year-end 2008 pension liability
for funding purposes for 2009. As a result of this change, we estimate our minimum pension
contribution to be zero in 2009. We currently estimate that our pension contributions could
average around $150 million for several years, assuming the discount rate remains at approximately
current levels. The expected contribution to our other postretirement benefit plans in 2009 is
estimated to be approximately $15 million. APS and other subsidiaries fund their share of the
contributions. APS share is approximately 97% of both plans.
See Note 5 for information regarding Pinnacle Wests approval from the ACC regarding a
potential equity infusion into APS of up to $400 million. In addition, see Note 5 for details
regarding terms of the proposed retail rate case settlement under which APS would have
authorization to obtain additional equity infusions.
APS
APS capital requirements consist primarily of capital expenditures and mandatory redemptions
of long-term debt. APS pays for its capital requirements with cash from operations and, to the
extent necessary, equity infusions from Pinnacle West and external financings. See Pinnacle West
(Parent Company) above for a discussion of the common equity ratio that APS must maintain in order
to pay dividends to Pinnacle West.
On February 26, 2009, APS issued $500 million of 8.75% unsecured senior notes that mature on
March 1, 2019. Net proceeds from the sale of the notes were used to repay short-term borrowings
under two committed revolving lines of credit incurred to fund capital expenditures and for general
corporate purposes.
During the second quarter of 2009, APS refinanced approximately $343 million of its $539
million variable rate pollution control bonds. As a result of these refinancings, which are
described in the following three paragraphs, APS no longer has any
outstanding debt securities in auction rate mode.
On May 28, 2009, the Navajo County, Arizona Pollution Control Corporation issued approximately
$166 million of Navajo County, Arizona Pollution Control Corporation Pollution Control Revenue
Refunding Bonds, 2009 Series A-E, due 2034. The bonds were issued to redeem all
of approximately $166 million of the Navajo County, Arizona Pollution Control Corporation Pollution
Control Revenue Refunding Bonds 2004 Series A-E, due 2034. The 2009 Series A-E bonds are payable
solely from revenues obtained from APS pursuant to a loan agreement between APS and the Navajo
County, Arizona Pollution Control Corporation. The interest rates on these bonds will be reset at
the end of three years (Series A), five years (Series B and C), or seven years (Series D and E).
We will be required to purchase the bonds at the applicable interest
reset date and have the opportunity to remarket the bonds at that time. These bonds are classified as long-term debt on our Condensed Consolidated Balance
Sheets.
59
Also on May 28, 2009, the Coconino County, Arizona Pollution Control Corporation issued
approximately $13 million of 5.50% Coconino County, Arizona Pollution Control Corporation Pollution
Control Revenue Refunding Bonds, 2009 Series A, due 2034. The bonds were issued to redeem
all of approximately $13 million of the Coconino County, Arizona Pollution
Control Corporation Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds 2004 Series A, due 2034. The 2009
Series A bonds are payable solely from revenues obtained from APS pursuant to a loan agreement
between APS and the Coconino County, Arizona Pollution Control Corporation. The interest rates on
these bonds will be reset at the end of five years. We will be required to purchase the bonds at the
interest reset date and have the opportunity to remarket the bonds at that time. These bonds are classified as long-term debt
on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
On June 26, 2009, the Maricopa County, Arizona Pollution Control Corporation issued
approximately $164 million of Maricopa County, Arizona Pollution Control Corporation Pollution
Control Revenue Refunding Bonds, 2009 Series A-E, due 2029. The bonds were issued to redeem
all of approximately $164 million of the Maricopa County, Arizona Pollution
Control Corporation Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds 2005 Series A-E, due 2029. The 2009
Series A-E bonds are payable solely from revenues obtained from APS pursuant to a loan agreement
between APS and Maricopa County, Arizona Pollution Control Corporation. The interest rates on
these bonds will be reset at the end of three years (Series B), four years (Series C), and five
years (Series A, D, and E). We will be required to purchase the bonds at the applicable interest
reset date and have the opportunity to remarket the bonds at that time. These bonds are classified as long-term debt on our
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Maricopa 2005 Series A-E bonds, which were redeemed in
July 2009, are classified as current maturities of long-term debt on our Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheets.
APS has two committed revolving credit facilities totaling $866 million, of which $377 million
terminates in December 2010 and $489 million terminates in September 2011. The revolvers are
available either to support the issuance of up to $250 million in commercial paper or to be used
for bank borrowings, including issuances of letters of credit up to $583 million. At June 30,
2009, APS had borrowings of approximately $209 million and no letters of credit under its revolving
lines of credit. APS had no commercial paper outstanding at June 30, 2009. At June 30, 2009, APS
had remaining capacity available under its revolvers of $657 million and had cash and investments
of approximately $3 million.
Other Financing Matters See Note 5 for information regarding the PSA approved by the ACC.
Although APS defers actual retail fuel and purchased power costs on a current basis, APS recovery
of the deferrals from its ratepayers is subject to annual and, if necessary, periodic PSA
adjustments.
See Note 5 for information regarding an ACC order permitting Pinnacle West to infuse up to
$400 million of equity into APS, on or before December 31, 2009, if Pinnacle West deems it
appropriate to do so to strengthen or maintain APS financial integrity. In addition, see Note 5
for details regarding terms of the proposed retail rate case settlement under which APS would have
authorization to obtain additional equity infusions through December 31, 2014.
See
Note 10 for information related to the change in our margin accounts.

Other Subsidiaries
SunCor During the first quarter of 2009, SunCor undertook and completed a review of its
assets and strategies within its various markets as a result of the then current and anticipated
continuing distressed conditions in real estate and credit markets. Based on the results of the
review, on March 27,
2009, SunCors Board of Directors authorized a series of strategic transactions to dispose of
SunCors homebuilding operations, master-planned communities, and golf courses in order to reduce
SunCors outstanding debt. This resulted in a pre-tax impairment charge of approximately $202
million, or $123 million after income taxes, in the first quarter of 2009. During the second
quarter of 2009, SunCor reassessed market conditions and recorded an additional pretax
impairment charge of approximately $6 million, or $4 million after income taxes. We believe that most of the assets to be
sold do not meet the held for sale criteria as of June 30, 2009
because of the uncertainties related to the current market conditions
and obtaining necessary approvals. Pinnacle West
does not expect that any of the impairment charges will result in future cash expenditures, other
than immaterial disposition costs.
The SunCor Secured Revolver matures in January 2010 and requires SunCor to reduce its
outstanding borrowings by specified amounts over the term of the facility. As of June 30, 2009,
approximately $108 million of borrowings were outstanding under the SunCor Secured Revolver and
approximately $67 million of debt was outstanding under other SunCor credit facilities. SunCor
intends to apply the proceeds of planned asset sales (see Note 21) to the repayment of the SunCor
Secured Revolver and SunCors other outstanding debt. The impairment charges discussed in Note 21
and the maturity and non-payment of approximately $7 million of project loans resulted in
violations of certain covenants contained in the SunCor Secured Revolver and SunCors other credit
facilities. SunCor has obtained a forbearance agreement from the SunCor Secured Revolver lenders
under which those lenders have agreed not to enforce any of their remedies under the SunCor Secured
Revolver until August 15, 2009. SunCor remains in discussions with these lenders to modify the
SunCor Secured Revolver to resolve the covenant defaults and extend the principal repayment
provisions in a manner that more closely corresponds to SunCors planned asset sales. SunCor also
is seeking extensions, waivers or similar relief from its other lenders and, while doing so,
continues to make current interest payments to its lenders. If SunCor is unable to obtain
additional extensions, waivers or similar relief from its lenders, SunCor could be required to
immediately repay its outstanding indebtedness under the SunCor Secured Revolver and its other
credit facilities. Such debt acceleration would have a material adverse impact on SunCors
business and its financial position. Neither Pinnacle West nor any of its other subsidiaries has
guaranteed any SunCor indebtedness. A SunCor debt default would not result in a cross-default of
any of the debt of Pinnacle West or any of its other subsidiaries. As a result, Pinnacle West does
not believe that SunCors inability to obtain waivers or similar relief from SunCors lenders would
have a material adverse impact on Pinnacle Wests cash flows or liquidity.
El Dorado El Dorado expects minimal capital requirements over the next three years and
intends to focus on prudently realizing the value of its existing investments.
APSES APSES expects minimal capital expenditures over the next three years.
Debt Provisions
Pinnacle Wests and APS debt covenants related to their respective bank financing
arrangements include debt to capitalization ratios. Certain of APS bank financing arrangements
also include an interest coverage test. Pinnacle West and APS comply with these covenants and each
anticipates it will continue to meet these and other significant covenant requirements. For both
Pinnacle West and APS, these covenants require that the ratio of consolidated debt to total
consolidated capitalization not exceed 65%. At June 30, 2009, the ratio was approximately 55% for
Pinnacle West and 51% for APS. The provisions regarding interest coverage require minimum cash
coverage of two times the interest requirements for APS. The interest coverage was approximately
4.3 times under APS bank financing agreements as of June 30, 2009. Failure to comply with such
covenant levels would result in an event of default which, generally speaking, would require the
immediate repayment of the debt subject to the covenants and could cross-default other debt. See
further discussion of cross-default provisions below.
61
Neither Pinnacle Wests nor APS financing agreements contain rating triggers that would
result in an acceleration of the required interest and principal payments in the event of a rating
downgrade. However, our bank financial agreements contain a pricing grid in which the interest
costs we pay are determined by our current credit ratings.
All of Pinnacle Wests loan agreements contain cross-default provisions that would result in
defaults and the potential acceleration of payment under these loan agreements if Pinnacle West or
APS were to default under certain other material agreements. All of APS bank agreements contain
cross-default provisions that would result in defaults and the potential acceleration of payment
under these bank agreements if APS were to default under certain other material agreements.
Pinnacle West and APS do not have a material adverse change restriction for revolver borrowings.
See Note 4 for further discussions of liquidity matters.
Credit Ratings
The
ratings of securities of Pinnacle West and APS as of August 3, 2009 are shown below.
The ratings reflect the respective views of the rating agencies, from which an explanation of the
significance of their ratings may be obtained. There is no assurance that these ratings will
continue for any given period of time. The ratings may be revised or withdrawn entirely by the
rating agencies if, in their respective judgments, circumstances so warrant. Any downward revision
or withdrawal may adversely affect the market price of Pinnacle Wests or APS securities and serve
to increase the cost of and limit access to capital. It may also require substantial additional
cash or other collateral requirements related to certain derivative instruments, insurance
policies, natural gas transportation, fuel supply, and other energy-related contracts. At this
time, we believe we have sufficient liquidity to cover a downward revision to our credit ratings.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In 1986, APS entered into agreements with three separate VIE lessors in order to sell and
lease back interests in Palo Verde Unit 2. The leases are accounted for as operating leases in
accordance with GAAP. We are not the primary beneficiary of the Palo Verde VIEs and, accordingly,
do not consolidate them.
APS is exposed to losses under the Palo Verde sale leaseback agreements upon the occurrence of
certain events that APS does not consider to be reasonably likely to occur. Under certain
circumstances (for example, the NRC issuing specified violation orders with respect to Palo Verde
or the occurrence of specified nuclear events), APS would be required to assume the debt associated
with the transactions, make specified payments to the equity participants, and take title to the
leased Unit 2 interests, which, if appropriate, may be required to be written down in value. If
such an event had occurred as of June 30, 2009, APS would have been required to assume
approximately $167 million of debt and pay the equity participants approximately $161 million. See
Note 15 for a discussion of letters of credit that support certain lessors in the Palo Verde sale
leaseback transactions.
SunCor has certain land development arrangements that are required to be consolidated under
FIN 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. The assets and non-controlling interests
reflected on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to these arrangements were
approximately $29 million at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
Guarantees and Letters of Credit
We have issued parental guarantees and obtained letters of credit and surety bonds on behalf
of some of our subsidiaries.
Our parental guarantees for APS relate to commodity energy products. As required by Arizona
law, Pinnacle West has also obtained a $10 million bond on behalf of APS in connection with the
interim base rate surcharge approved by the ACC in December 2008. In addition, Pinnacle West has
obtained approximately $8 million of surety bonds related to APS operations, which primarily relate
to self-insured workers compensation. Our credit support instruments enable APSES to offer
energy-related products and services. Non-performance or non-payment under the original contract
by our subsidiaries would require us to perform under the guarantee or surety bond. No liability
is currently recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to Pinnacle Wests
current outstanding guarantees on behalf of our subsidiaries. At June 30, 2009, we had no
guarantees that were in default. Our guarantees have no recourse or collateral provisions to allow
us to recover from our subsidiaries amounts paid under the guarantees. We generally agree to
indemnification provisions related to liabilities arising from or related to certain of our
agreements, with limited exceptions depending on the particular agreement. See Note 15 for
additional information regarding guarantees and letters of credit.
Contractual Obligations
Our future contractual obligations, including contingent obligations, related to purchased
power and fuel contracts have increased from approximately $7.9 billion at December 31, 2008 to
$13.0 billion at June 30, 2009 as follows (dollars in billions):

This increase is primarily due to purchased power and fuel commitments, predominately a
contingent renewable purchased power agreement with Starwood Solar I for a 290 MW solar project
scheduled for completion in 2013.
See Note 4 for a discussion of APS recent long-term debt issuances and a list of payments due
on total long-term debt and capitalized lease requirements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In preparing the financial statements in accordance with GAAP, management must often make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues,
expenses and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting
period. Some of those judgments can be subjective and complex and actual results could differ from
those estimates. Our most critical accounting policies include the impacts of regulatory
accounting, accounting for our pension and other postretirement benefits, derivative accounting,
fair value measurements and real estate investment impairments. There have been no changes to our
critical accounting policies since our 2008 Form 10-K. See Critical Accounting Policies in Item
7 of the 2008 Form 10-K for further details about our critical accounting policies.
OTHER ACCOUNTING MATTERS
See Note 20 for a discussion of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which we adopted for
our non-financial assets on January 1, 2009. This guidance was adopted for our financial assets on
January 1, 2008.
On
April 1, 2009 we adopted FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the
Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and
Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly; FSP Nos. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2,
Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary
Impairments; and FSP No. FAS
107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. These staff
positions provided guidance on fair value measurements, impairments, and disclosures. Adoption of
these staff positions did not have a material impact on our financial statements. See Note 20 for a
discussion of fair value measurements.
See Note 10 for a discussion of SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities an amendment to SFAS No. 133, which we adopted January 1, 2009.
We adopted SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an
amendment of ARB No. 51, on January 1, 2009. This guidance provides accounting and reporting
standards for noncontrolling interests in a consolidated subsidiary and clarifies that
noncontrolling interests should be reported as equity on the consolidated financial statements. As
a result of adopting this guidance, we have disclosed on the face of our financial statements the
portion of equity and net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests in consolidated
subsidiaries. Additionally, we reclassified $47 million of noncontrolling interests from Other
Deferred Credits to Equity on the December 31, 2008 Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheets. Prior years net income
attributable to noncontrolling interests was not material to our
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and was not
reclassified. The adoption of this guidance modified our financial statement presentation, but
did not have an impact on our financial statement results.
64
On
January 1, 2009, we adopted FSP No. EITF 03-6-1 (FSP EITF 03-6-1),
Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating
Securities. FSP EITF 03-6-1 requires companies to treat unvested share-based payment awards that
have nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents as participating securities when
computing earnings per share, pursuant to the two-class method described in SFAS No. 128, Earnings
Per Share. Our awards do not have nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents and
therefore, the adoption of this FSP did not have any impact on our financial statements.
In
May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent
Events, which establishes general
standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but
before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. We adopted this guidance
during the second quarter of 2009. The adoption of this Standard did not have a material impact on
our financial statements.
In
June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162.
This Standard establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative
accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by entities in the preparation of
financial statements in conformity with US GAAP. This guidance is
effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after September
15, 2009. The adoption of this Standard will not have a material impact on our financial
statements.
In
December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1, Employers
Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets. This guidance requires enhanced employers
disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. The
guidance is effective for us on December 31, 2009. We do not
expect it to have a material impact on our financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R).
This Statement amends certain requirements of FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities, to improve financial reporting and provide more relevant and reliable
information by enterprises involved with variable interest entities. This guidance is effective for
us on January 1, 2010. We are currently evaluating this new guidance and the impact it may have on
our financial statements.
PINNACLE WEST CONSOLIDATED FACTORS AFFECTING
OUR FINANCIAL OUTLOOK
General Electric operating revenues are derived from sales of electricity in regulated retail
markets in Arizona and from competitive retail and wholesale power markets in the western United
States. For the years 2006 through 2008, retail electric revenues comprised approximately 91% of
our total electric operating revenues. Our electric operating revenues are affected by electricity
sales volumes related to customer growth, variations in weather from period to period, customer
mix, average usage per customer, electricity rates and tariffs and the recovery of PSA deferrals.
Off-System Sales of excess generation output, purchased power and natural gas are included in
regulated electricity segment revenues and related fuel and purchased power because they are
credited to APS retail customers through the PSA. These revenue transactions are affected by the
availability of excess economic generation or other energy resources and wholesale market
conditions, including demand and prices.
65
Rate Proceedings Our cash flows and profitability are affected by the rates APS may charge
and the timely recovery of costs through those rates. APS retail rates are regulated by the ACC
and its wholesale electric rates (primarily for transmission) are regulated by the FERC. APS
capital expenditure requirements, which are discussed above under Pinnacle West Consolidated
Liquidity and Capital Resources, are substantial because of environmental compliance and controls,
system reliability, and continuing, though slowed, customer growth in APS service territory. APS
needs timely recovery through rates of its capital and operating expenditures to maintain adequate
financial health. On March 24, 2008, APS filed a rate case with the ACC, which it updated on June
2, 2008, requesting, among other things, an increase in retail rates to help defray rising
infrastructure costs, approval of an impact fee and approval of new conservation rates. On January
30, 2009, APS and other parties to the rate case began settlement discussions and, on June 12,
2009, they filed a proposed settlement agreement with the ACC. See Note 5 for details regarding
this rate case, including the ACCs approval of an interim base rate surcharge pending the outcome
of the case and a discussion of the Settlement Agreement and related timeline.
Fuel and Purchased Power Costs Fuel and purchased power costs included on our Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Income are impacted by our electricity sales volumes, existing contracts
for purchased power and generation fuel, our power plant performance, transmission availability or
constraints, prevailing market prices, new generating plants being placed in service in our market
areas, our hedging program for managing such costs and, since April 1, 2005, PSA deferrals and the
amortization thereof. See Note 5 for information regarding the PSA. APS recovery of PSA
deferrals from its ratepayers is subject to annual and, if necessary, periodic PSA adjustments.
Customer and Sales Growth The customer and sales growth referred to in this paragraph apply
to Native Load customers and sales to them. Customer growth in APS service territory for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2009 was 0.7% compared with the prior-year period. Customer growth
averaged 3% a year for the three years 2006 through 2008. We currently expect customer growth to
average about 1% per year for 2009 through 2011 due to factors reflecting the economic conditions
both nationally and in Arizona. For the three years 2006 through 2008, APS actual retail
electricity sales in kilowatt-hours grew at an average annual rate of 2.9%; adjusted to exclude the
effects of weather variations, such retail sales growth averaged 2.9% a year. We currently
estimate that total retail electricity sales in kilowatt-hours will remain flat on average per year
during 2009 through 2011, including the effects of APS energy efficiency programs but excluding
the effects of weather variations. We currently expect our retail sales growth in 2009 to be below
average because of potential effects on customer usage from the economic conditions mentioned
above, retail rate increases (see Note 5) and the effects of APS energy efficiency programs.
Actual sales growth, excluding weather-related variations, may differ from our projections as
a result of numerous factors, such as economic conditions, customer growth, usage patterns and
responses to retail price changes. Our experience indicates that a reasonable range of variation
in our kilowatt-hour sales projection attributable to such economic factors under normal business
conditions can result in increases or decreases in annual net income of up to $10 million.
Weather In forecasting retail sales growth, we assume normal weather patterns based on
historical data. Historical extreme weather variations have resulted in annual variations in net
income in excess of $20 million. However, our experience indicates that the more typical
variations from normal weather can result in increases or decreases in annual net income of up to
$10 million.
66
Wholesale Market Our marketing and trading activities focus primarily on managing APS risks
relating to fuel and purchased power costs in connection with its costs of serving Native Load
customer demand. Our marketing and trading activities include, subject to specified parameters,
marketing, hedging and trading in electricity and fuels. See Formula Transmission Tariff in Note
5 for information regarding APS approval by the FERC to implement a formula rate.
Other Factors Affecting Financial Results
Operations and Maintenance Expenses Operations and maintenance expenses are impacted by
growth, power plant operations, maintenance of utility plant (including generation, transmission,
and distribution facilities), inflation, outages, higher-trending pension and other postretirement
benefit costs, renewable energy and demand side management related
expenses (which are offset by the same amount of regulated electricity segment operating
revenues) and other factors. APS recently identified certain operations and maintenance expense
reductions for 2009 and has committed to additional reductions in the rate case Settlement
Agreement. See Energy Efficiency, Demand-Side Management and Renewable Energy Programs and 2008
General Retail Rate Case Proposed Settlement Agreement in Note 5.
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses Depreciation and amortization expenses are impacted by
net additions to utility plant and other property (such as new generation, transmission, and
distribution facilities), and changes in depreciation and amortization rates. See Capital
Expenditures above for information regarding planned additions to our facilities.
Property Taxes Taxes other than income taxes consist primarily of property taxes, which are
affected by the value of property in-service and under construction, assessment ratios, and tax
rates. The average property tax rate for APS, which currently owns the majority of our property,
was 7.8% of the assessed value for 2008 and 8.3% of the assessed value for 2007. We expect
property taxes to increase as we add new utility plant (including new generation, transmission and
distribution facilities) and as we improve our existing facilities. See Capital Expenditures
above for information regarding planned additions to our facilities.
Interest Expense Interest expense is affected by the amount of debt outstanding and the
interest rates on that debt (see Note 4.) The primary factors affecting borrowing levels are
expected to be our capital expenditures, long-term debt maturities, and internally generated cash
flow. Capitalized interest offsets a portion of interest expense while capital projects are under
construction. We stop accruing capitalized interest on a project when it is placed in commercial
operation.
Climate Change Recent concern over climate change could have a significant impact on our
capital expenditures and operating costs in the form of taxes, emissions allowances or required
equipment upgrades. The timing and type of compliance measures and related costs are impacted by
current and future regulatory and legislative actions, which we are closely monitoring. See
Climate Change in Part II, Item 5 for more information regarding climate change initiatives.
Retail Competition Although some very limited retail competition existed in Arizona in 1999
and 2000, there are currently no active retail electric service providers providing unbundled
energy or other utility services to APS customers. We cannot predict when, and the extent to
which, additional electric service providers will re-enter APS service territory.

Subsidiaries SunCors net loss was approximately $26 million in 2008. SunCors net
loss in 2008 included a $53 million (pre-tax) real estate impairment charge. SunCors net loss for
the six months ended June 30, 2009 was approximately
$233 million, which included a pre-tax
impairment charge of approximately $208 million. See Note 21 for further discussion of impairment
charges in 2009. These results reflect conditions in the real estate and credit markets. See
Liquidity and Capital Resources Other Subsidiaries SunCor and Note 4 for a discussion of
SunCors long-term debt, liquidity, and capital requirements.
The historical results of SunCor, APSES and El Dorado are not indicative of future
performance.
General Our financial results may be affected by a number of broad factors. See
Forward-Looking Statements below and Risk Factors in Item 1A of the 2008 Form 10-K for further
information on such factors, which may cause our actual future results to differ from those we
currently seek or anticipate.
Market Risks
Our operations include managing market risks related to changes in interest rates, commodity
prices and investments held by our nuclear decommissioning trust fund.
Interest Rate and Equity Risk
We have exposure to changing interest rates. Changing interest rates will affect interest
paid on variable-rate debt and the market value of fixed income securities held by our nuclear
decommissioning trust fund (See Note 18). The nuclear decommissioning trust fund also has risks
associated with the changing market value of its investments. Nuclear decommissioning costs are
recovered in regulated electricity prices.
Commodity Price Risk
We are exposed to the impact of market fluctuations in the commodity price and transportation
costs of electricity and natural gas. Our energy risk management committee, consisting of officers
and key management personnel, oversees company-wide energy risk management activities and monitors
the results of marketing and trading activities to ensure compliance with our stated energy risk
management and trading policies. We manage risks associated with these market fluctuations by
utilizing various commodity instruments that qualify as derivatives, including exchange-traded
futures and options and over-the-counter forwards, options and swaps. As part of our risk
management program, we use such instruments to hedge purchases and sales of electricity and fuels.
The changes in market value of such contracts have a high correlation to price changes in the
hedged commodities.

|
(196 |
) |
The decrease of approximately $479 million in net cash provided by operating activities
is primarily due to changes in collateral and margin cash balances as a result of changes in commodity
prices and other changes in working capital.
The increase of approximately $79 million in net cash used for investing activities is
primarily due to the timing of pollution control auction rate securities redemptions (see Note 4),
partially offset by lower levels of capital expenditures.
The increase of approximately $456 million in net cash provided by financing activities is
primarily due to APS issuance of $500 million of unsecured senior notes. A portion of these
proceeds were used to repay short-term borrowings. In addition, there was the issuance of $343
million of pollution control bonds, a portion of which was used to redeem $179 million of APS
existing pollution control bonds. The remaining $164 million was deposited in a restricted trust
fund for bond redemption of auction rate securities in July 2009 (See Note 4).
Contractual Obligations
APS future contractual obligations, including contingent obligations, related to purchased
power and fuel contracts have increased from approximately $7.9 billion at December 31, 2008 to
$13.0 billion at June 30, 2009 as follows (dollars in billions):

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
ABOUT MARKET RISK |
See Pinnacle West Consolidated Factors Affecting Our Financial Outlook in Item 2 above for
a discussion of quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risks.
|
|
Item 4. |
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of a company
that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports
that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)
(15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods
specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without
limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by
a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and
communicated to a companys management, including its principal executive and principal financial
officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
75
Pinnacle Wests management, with the participation of Pinnacle Wests Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of Pinnacle Wests disclosure
controls and procedures as of June 30, 2009. Based on that evaluation, Pinnacle Wests Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of that date, Pinnacle Wests
disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
APS management, with the participation of APS Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of APS disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30,
2009. Based on that evaluation, APS Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have
concluded that, as of that date, APS disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The term internal control over financial reporting (defined in SEC Rule 13a-15(f)) refers to
the process of a company that is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with GAAP.
No change in Pinnacle Wests or APS internal control over financial reporting occurred during
the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, Pinnacle Wests or APS internal control over financial reporting.

EPA Environmental Regulation
Regional Haze Rules As previously reported, EPA Region 9 requested that APS perform a best
available retrofit technology (BART) analysis for Four Corners, and we are currently waiting to
receive the EPAs final determination as to what constitutes BART for this plant. See Business of
Arizona Public Service Company Environmental Matters EPA Environmental Regulation Regional
Haze Rules in Item 1 of the 2008 Form 10-K. The BART issues related to Four Corners also apply to
the Navajo Generating Station (Navajo), which is operated by Salt River Project. APS owns a 14%
interest in Navajo Units 1, 2 and 3. As with the Four Corners BART matter, we are waiting to
receive EPAs final determination as to what constitutes BART for Navajo. Once we receive the
determination, APS and the other Navajo participant owners will have five years to achieve
compliance with the BART requirements. However, in order to coordinate with the plants other
scheduled activities, SRP is currently implementing portions of its recommended plan for Navajo on
a voluntary basis. Costs related to the implementation of these portions of the recommended plan
are included in our environmental expenditure estimates (see Managements Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Capital Expenditures in Item 2).
Four Corners FIP On April 30, 2007, the EPA adopted a source specific FIP to set air quality
standards at Four Corners. The FIP essentially federalizes the requirements contained in the New
Mexico State Implementation Plan, which Four Corners has historically followed. The FIP also
includes a requirement to maintain and enhance dust suppression methods. On July 2, 2007, APS
filed a petition for review in the United States District Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit
seeking revisions to the FIP to clarify certain requirements and allow operational flexibility.
The Sierra Club intervened in this action. On July 6, 2007, the Sierra Club and other parties
filed a petition for review with the same court challenging the FIPs compliance with the Clean Air
Act and we intervened in their action. In our lawsuit, we challenged two key provisions of the
FIP: a 20% opacity limit on certain fugitive dust emissions, and a 20% stack opacity limit on
Units 4 and 5. During 2008, the EPA voluntarily moved to vacate the fugitive dust provisions of
the FIP, and on April 14, 2009, the court granted EPAs motion. The court also rejected the Sierra
Clubs challenges to the FIP and ruled in favor of the 20% stack opacity limit. While we do not
believe that compliance with this limit will have a material adverse impact on our financial
position, results of operations or cash flows, we filed a petition for rehearing on May 29, 2009
related to the stack opacity limit finding because we do not believe that the EPA properly
established the limit in question.
Coal
Combustion Waste Primarily as a result of the Tennessee Valley Authoritys coal ash impoundment
failure at the Kingston Power Plant in December 2008, the EPA is expected to issue proposed
regulations governing the handling and disposal of coal combustion byproducts (CCBs), such as fly
ash. The EPA is evaluating options that include regulation of CCBs under non-hazardous waste
standards, hazardous waste standards, or a combination of both. A proposed rule is expected by the
end of 2009, and it is uncertain as to when the EPA will issue a final rule, including required
compliance dates. While APS continues to advocate for the regulation of CCBs as non-hazardous
waste, we cannot currently predict the outcome of the EPAs actions and whether such actions will
have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
79
Climate Change
Legislative and Regulatory Initiatives. In the past several years, the United States Congress
has considered bills that would regulate domestic greenhouse gas emissions, but such bills have not
yet received sufficient Congressional approval to become law; however, on June 26, 2009, the House
of
Representatives approved the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, H.R. 2454. In
addition to establishing clean energy programs, H.R. 2454 would establish a greenhouse gas emission
cap-and-trade system applicable to about 85% of all emission sources in the nation. This
legislation now moves to the Senate for its consideration. The economic and operational impact of
this or any similar legislation on the Company depends on a variety of factors, none of which can
be fully known until such legislation passes and the specifics of the resulting program are
established. These factors include the terms of the legislation with regard to allowed emissions;
whether the permitted emissions will be allocated or auctioned; the cost to reduce emissions or buy
them in the marketplace; and the availability of offsets and mitigating factors to moderate the
costs of compliance.
In 2007, the United States Supreme Court ruled that greenhouse gases fit within the Clean Air
Acts broad definition of air pollutant and, as a result, the EPA has the authority to regulate
greenhouse gas emissions of new motor vehicles under the Clean Air Act. The EPA was charged with
determining whether greenhouse gas emissions endanger the public health and welfare of current and
future generations. On April 17, 2009, the EPA issued a proposed finding that such emissions do
endanger the public. While the Supreme Court decision applies only to emissions from new motor
vehicles, the EPAs determination will likely impact other Clean Air Act programs as well, and
could potentially result in new regulatory requirements for our power plants. At the present time
we cannot predict when the EPA will issue its final finding, what rules or regulations may
ultimately result from this finding, and what impact these rules or regulations will have on our
operations. The EPA has also drafted a proposed greenhouse gas reporting rule, which was available
for public review and comment through June 9, 2009. This proposed rule, expected to be finalized
by mid to late 2009, is in anticipation of future regulation of greenhouse gases under the Clean
Air Act and applies to direct greenhouse gas emissions from facilities such as our power plants.
In addition to federal legislative initiatives, state specific initiatives may also impact our
business. While Arizona has not yet enacted any state specific legislation regarding greenhouse
gas emissions, AB 32 is a California statute mandating the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to
1990 levels by 2020. In December 2008, the California Air Resources Board issued a final scoping
plan, which is intended to form the basis of rules required under AB 32. On January 1, 2012, the
regulations based on the scoping plan will become effective. We are monitoring this and other
state legislative developments to evaluate whether, and the extent to which, any resulting statutes
or rules in California or other states may affect our business, including our sales into the
impacted states or the ability of our out-of-state power plant participants to meet their
obligations.
If any emission reduction legislation or regulations are enacted, we will assess our
compliance alternatives, which may include replacement of existing equipment, installation of
additional pollution control equipment, purchase of allowances, curtailing certain operations, or
other actions. Although associated capital expenditures or operating costs resulting from
greenhouse gas emission regulations or legislation could be material, we believe that we would be
able to recover the costs of these environmental compliance initiatives through our rates.
80
Regional Initiative. In 2007, six western states (Arizona, California, New Mexico, Oregon,
Utah and Washington) and two Canadian provinces (British Columbia and Manitoba) entered into an
accord, the Western Climate Initiative (WCI), to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from
automobiles and certain industries, including utilities. Montana, Quebec and Ontario have also
joined WCI. In August 2007, WCI participants set a goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 15%
below 2005 levels by 2020. In 2008, draft documents were issued for public comment and, in
September 2008, WCI issued the design of a cap-and-trade program for greenhouse gas emissions. We
are reviewing the
recommendations and requirements in these documents, which currently provide only a general
framework for the proposed program. Due in part to the recent activity at the federal level
discussed above, the initiatives momentum and the movement toward detailed proposed rules has
slowed. Since details are not yet available, such as the number of allowances each source may
receive, we are unable to quantify the potential financial and operational impacts on our business
should Arizona adopt and implement rules based on WCIs cap-and-trade program design and any
forthcoming regulations. In addition, we believe that in Arizona, the implementation of any such
program and rules would require legislative action. As a result, while we continue to monitor the
progress and impact of WCI, at the present time we cannot predict what detailed form it will
ultimately take, whether it will be implemented or, if it is implemented, what impact it will have
on our operations.
Company Response to Climate Change Initiatives. We have undertaken a number of
initiatives to address emission concerns, including renewable energy procurement and development,
promotion of programs and rates related to energy conservation, renewable energy use and energy
efficiency, and implementation of an active technology innovation effort to evaluate potential
emerging new technologies. APS currently has a diverse portfolio of renewable resources including
wind, geothermal, solar and biomass and we are focused on increasing the percentage of our energy
that is produced by renewable resources. (See Portfolio Resources Alternative Generation
Sources in Part I, Item 1 of the 2008 Form 10-K.) In January 2009, we submitted a Resource Plan
Report to the ACC proposing our future plans for additional diverse resources. See Portfolio
Resources Resource Plan in Part I, Item 1 of the 2008 Form 10-K for information regarding the
Resource Plan Report, which was designed, in part, to increase Arizonas commitment to non-fossil
resources.
In addition, on May 18, 2009, we submitted a comprehensive Climate Change Management Plan to
the ACC to comply with an ACC order that directed APS to undertake a climate management plan,
carbon emission reduction study and commitment and action plan with public input and ACC review.
The Climate Change Management Plan details scientific, legislative and policy issues, potential
physical and financial risks to APS, greenhouse gas emission inventory, APS technology innovation
and greenhouse gas reduction efforts, and our companies strategic approach to climate change
management.
In January 2008, APS joined the Climate Registry as a Founding Reporter. Founding Reporters
are companies that voluntarily joined the non-profit organization before May 2008 to measure and
report greenhouse gas emissions in a common, accurate and transparent manner consistent across
industry sectors and borders. Pinnacle West has also reported, and will continue to report,
greenhouse gas emissions in its annual Corporate Responsibility Report, which is available on our
website (www.pinnaclewest.com). In addition to emissions data, the report provides
information related to the Company, its approach to sustainability and its workplace and
environmental performance, as well as a copy of our Climate Change Management Plan discussed above.
The information on Pinnacle Wests website, including the Corporate Responsibility Report, is not
incorporated by reference into this report.
