TEP's retail customer base, which includes the Tucson metropolitan area, has a historical growth rate of approximately 2%, but has slowed recently due to general economic conditions. UES' operating companies, UNS Gas and UNS Electric, are distribution companies that provide gas and electric service to over 30 communities in some of the fastest growing areas in Arizona.
