Briefing

Pinnacle West's Q2 2020 earnings were driven by hotter-than-normal weather and cost management, partially offset by COVID-19 impacts.

Pinnacle West reported a consolidated net income attributable to common shareholders of $193.6 million, or $1.71 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, compared to $144.1 million, or $1.28 per share, in the same 2019 period. The increase was primarily driven by hotter-than-normal weather, which increased revenues, net of fuel and purchased power costs, and lower operations and maintenance expenses, which partially offset the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • Triple-digit temperatures and record heat drove higher quarter-over-quarter earnings.
  • COVID-19 impact on sales was partially offset by Lean efforts and continued cost management.
  • Customer Support Fund was expanded to provide more relief to customers impacted by the pandemic.
  • Customers set an all-time record peak demand of 7,659 megawatts on July 30.
