Phoenix -- Regulators in Arizona have set a goal of reducing electric power consumption in the state by 22 percent in 10 years in a push towards conservation.

The Arizona Corp. Commission voted 5-0 to force electric companies to promote conservation efforts through efficiency, The Arizona Republic reported Wednesday.

The new goals were supported by environmental groups and consumer advocates, including the Southwest Energy Efficiency Project, which projects a savings for consumers of $9 billion by 2020.

SEEP representative Jeff Schlegel said, "Utilities that under-invest in energy efficiency will deliver their customers the highest utility bills."
