Arizona Electric Power Cooperative (AEPCO) is headquartered in Benson, Ariz., about 50 miles southeast of Tucson. Its generation facility, Apache Station, is located in Cochise, Ariz., near Willcox. Apache Station generates 520 megawatts of electric energy for its cooperative members, which are located throughout Arizona and California.
AEPCO was originally founded in 1961 to meet the energy needs of rural southeastern Arizona. AEPCO was restructured in 1999 in response to the deregulation of the electric utility industry in Arizona. Until that time, AEPCO was responsible for both the generation and transmission of its electric energy.
