01. Please supply any comments on the draft Task Force Schedule found in Figure 3
APS is supportive of the Task Force Schedule as outlined in Figure 3. This schedule is aligned to the prioritization ordered by stakeholders during the January 2025 PRC.
02. Please supply any comments on Concepts that could impact a commitment to go Binding or remaining in the WRAP
APS supports the current prioritization as a reflection of the January PRC meeting but has heard that the CRF 2 on Earlier Forward Showing Metrics may be something other WRAP participants are looking at as a potential deciding factor for participation. APS would like WPP and the PRC to consider if this is accurate before re-arranging. From APS’ perspective the proposal wouldn’t be implemented in time to make a difference for a Summer 2027 binding decision in January of 2026. APS isn’t opposed to the Concept but is unsure if changing the prioritization would be warranted at this juncture and would prefer to keep the DA Optimization effort as a higher priority based on current understanding.
APS supports CRF 5 on Load Growth Factor being addressed in 2025 as proper load forecasting is critical to understanding how many resources are necessary to maintain adequacy, as well as the equitable treatment of entities within the program.

APS participated in the PRC Prioritization Exercise in January. We appreciate all the thought and work that went into that exercise. Something that the PRC and WPP may consider for this exercise next year would be to provide some time for each of the concepts to be presented at a high level to the stakeholders prior to the voting exercise.
07. Please supply any comments on Section 4. Proposed Schedule and Plan of Action
APS supports the approach for implementation of the 2025 Workplan’s schedule, which balances the Concept prioritization as the foundation of the Workplan while allowing for flexibility to address special circumstances.
