Why The SRP Elections MATTER ft. Barry Paceley

Welcome to another episode of AZREIA Show! In this episode, Mike Del Prete sits down with Barry Paceley, Arizona native, construction company owner, longtime Phoenix planning volunteer, SRP council vice chair, and candidate for SRP vice president, to explain why the upcoming SRP election is so important for real estate investors.

Barry shares the history of SRP as the first federal reclamation project in 1902 and how its power generation helped fund Arizona's water infrastructure. He explains why buying in SRP territory can mean roughly 20% lower electricity costs than APS, along with reliable water and flood irrigation tied to entitled water, benefits that can directly impact property value and cash flow. The conversation also covers SRP's growth-driven energy needs, its focus on affordability and reliability, common misconceptions about data centers, and the current energy mix as the utility transitions from coal to solar, natural gas, and nuclear.

Mike and Barry also guide investors on how to check voter eligibility and cast their vote online or in person by April 7, emphasizing why being informed in this election can make a real difference for anyone investing in Arizona real estate.
