About Intervention
The law provides for an open public hearing at which, under appropriate circumstances, interested persons may intervene. An interested person may be granted intervention if the outcome of the case will directly and substantially impact the person, and the person's intervention will not unduly broaden the issues in the case. Intervention, among other things, entitles a party to present
sworn evidence at hearing and to cross-examine other parties' witnesses. Intervention is not required for you to appear to file written comments in the docket for the case, or to receive emailed notice of each filing made in the case by following the docket.
Information about what intervention means, including an explanation of the rights and responsibilities of an intervenor, is available on the Commission's website (www.azcc.gov) by clicking on "Divisions" and then "Hearing" and then "Intervene in a Case." The information includes a Sample Intervention Request and a Fillable Intervention Request Form.

Your request must be filed or eFiled no later than April 17, 2026. Instructions and restrictions for eFiling are available on the Commission's website at http://azcc.gov/hearing/efiling. You also must serve a copy of the request to intervene on each party of record, on the same day that you file the request to intervene with the Commission.

1. Your name, address, and telephone number;
2. The docket number for the case in which you are requesting to intervene;
