ITEM 1 - ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The Company's Articles of Incorporation provide for the division of the Board of Directors into three classes of approximately equal size. The term of each directorship is three years and the terms of the three classes are staggered so that only one class is elected by the shareholders annually.
Three Class II directors are to be elected this year to serve as members of the Board of Directors until the annual meeting of shareholders in 2002 or until their successors are elected and qualified. Should one or more of the three nominees listed below become unavailable to serve prior to the meeting date, the proxy committee will vote the shares it represents for the election of such other persons as the Board may recommend unless the Board reduces the number of directors in Class II.
Directors in the other two classes are identified on the following pages. Information given for all directors has been furnished by each of them as of March 12, 1999. The term "APS" refers to Arizona Public Service Company, the Company's largest subsidiary.

THE BOARD AND ITS COMMITTEES
The full Board of Directors met twelve times during 1998. No director attended fewer than 75% of the meetings of the full Board and of the committees on which he or she served.
The Audit Committee of the Board reviews the performance and independence of the Company's independent accounting firm, makes an annual recommendation to the full Board with respect to the appointment of the firm for the following year, approves the scope of the work to be performed, and solicits and reviews the firm's recommendations. The Committee also consults with the Company's internal audit group and periodically reviews the relationship among that group, management of the Company and its subsidiaries, and its independent accountants. The Committee met two times in 1998; its members were Ms. Hesse and Messrs. Herberger, Jamieson, Lopez and Wall (Chairman).
The Human Resources Committee makes recommendations to the full Board with respect to prospective Board members and officers and with respect to executive salaries, bonuses and benefits. (See page 17 for the procedures for proposing nominations to the Board.) The Committee also makes stock option and restricted stock grants, and regularly reviews the Company's policies in all of the foregoing areas. Its report on executive compensation policy follows, and its members are identified at the end of that report. The Committee met two times in 1998.
Non-employee directors receive an annual retainer consisting of $12,000 cash and 500 shares of Pinnacle West common stock; to receive the 500 shares a director is required to own 500 shares in advance of his or her first year on the board, and that ownership requirement increases by 500 shares annually until it reaches 2,500 shares. Non-employee directors also receive $900 for each board meeting attended and $700 for each committee meeting attended.
5

The Company has a directors' retirement plan which provides, with certain exceptions, to non-employee directors over the age of 65, upon their retirement from the Board, an annual payment of $12,000. The length of time to which a non-employee director is entitled to receive this benefit is limited to the number of years he or she served on the Board prior to age 65.
HUMAN RESOURCES COMMITTEE REPORT
THE COMMITTEE'S RESPONSIBILITIES
The Pinnacle West Human Resources Committee, composed solely of outside directors (the "Committee") is responsible for compensation decisions regarding Pinnacle West executive officers. The APS Human Resources Committee (the "APS Committee") initially is responsible for salary and bonus decisions for Messrs. Davis and Stewart (who are APS officers) and for Messrs. Post and Schreiber (who are officers of both Pinnacle West and APS). However, the Committee reviews the APS Committee's compensation decisions and is responsible for all stock-based compensation.
PHILOSOPHY
The Committee's overall compensation philosophy is to attract, retain, and reward qualified individuals critical to the Company's success; reinforce Company objectives through the use of performance-based compensation; and promote long-term ownership of Company stock to align the interests of the Company's executive officers more closely with those of its shareholders.
TYPES OF COMPENSATION
There are two main types of compensation:
+ Annual compensation. This consists of salary and bonuses. Bonuses are awarded only when certain performance objectives are met.
+ Long-term compensation. This includes stock options and restricted stock. The value of these awards depends on the Company's performance as translated into future stock values.
FACTORS CONSIDERED IN DETERMINING COMPENSATION
The Committee wants the compensation of the Company's executive officers to be competitive within the utility industry. The Committee also pays increasing attention to trends within a general industry group. Consistent with past practice, during 1998 the Committee met with an outside consultant and reviewed its report regarding the compensation program for the Company's executive officers. The consultant provided the Committee with compensation information for the electric utility and general industry groups, adjusted for size. The APS Committee reviewed a similar report from the same outside consultant. The Committee formulated its views about the responsibilities, skills, expertise, and performance of the Company's executive officers, with input from Mr. Snell as to performances other than his own, and applied these views to the information provided by the consultant and the APS Committee.
6

ANNUAL COMPENSATION
BASE SALARIES
Overall, the base salaries paid to the Company's executive officers during 1998 were competitive with the median salaries in the utility and general industry groups.
BONUSES
The cash bonuses paid to the Company's executive officers for 1998 were based on weighted performance objectives the Committee established at the beginning of the year. These were based primarily on 1998 earnings, matters related to electric utility industry restructuring, and strategic planning, in that order of importance. The APS Committee established performance objectives for APS officers, including Messrs. Davis, Post, Schreiber, and Stewart, that were based primarily on APS' earnings and operational performance. Although Messrs. Post and Schreiber are officers of both Pinnacle West and APS, their 1998 bonuses were based on the performance objectives established by the APS Committee.
The attainment levels of the several objectives were assessed by each Committee in early 1999 and these assessments were factored into an arithmetical formula that included predetermined percentages of the officers' respective salaries to result in their respective bonuses. The bonuses approved by the APS Committee were at the maximum level in the 1998 APS plan, and the Committee approved bonuses at approximately mid-point levels in the 1998 Pinnacle West plan.
LONG-TERM COMPENSATION
The Committee believes that the best measure of management's performance is its ability to deliver rewards to shareholders in the form of share price appreciation and rising dividends over time. To those ends, the Committee intends that grants of stock options and restricted stock serve as a significant piece of the total compensation package for officers and key management employees of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The Committee believes that senior management personnel of the Company and its subsidiaries should have a significant, ongoing personal investment in the Company. To that end, restricted stock grants, besides being compensatory in nature, are used to encourage the attainment and retention of targeted levels of individual stock ownership by conditioning their vesting upon the ownership of certain numbers of shares for predetermined periods of time.
The Committee determines the size of awards made to participants by making assumptions as to how, generally, the stock should perform if the Company achieves its longer-term goals. The Committee then determines individual grants by focusing on the recipient's total compensation, taking into consideration compensation data from the utility and general industry groups discussed above, assuming that the stock performs as assumed.
7

CEO COMPENSATION
The Committee has not increased Mr. Snell's salary since 1991. Consistent with the Committee's compensation philosophy, the Committee has, instead, emphasized reward-for-performance through the bonus plan and stock option and restricted stock grants to him.
GENERAL
As the Company moves forward in its efforts to continue to increase shareholder value in the continuing restructuring of the utility industry, the Committee will continue to review, monitor, and evaluate the Company's program for executive compensation to assure that it effectively supports the Company's strategy, is competitive in the marketplace to attract, retain, and motivate the talent needed to succeed, and appropriately rewards creation of value for the Company's shareholders.
TAX CONSIDERATION
Publicly-traded corporations generally are not permitted to deduct, for federal income tax purposes, annual compensation in excess of $1 million paid to any of certain top executives, except to the extent the compensation qualifies as "performance-based." While the Committee is biased toward rewarding performance through the bonus and equity participation programs, certain features of these programs do not fit the law's definition of "performance-based," and limited amounts of compensation could therefore not be deductible.
The foregoing report of the Human Resources Committee is provided by its members: Ms. Grant (Chairman), Ms. Hesse and Messrs. Lopez, Norton and Wall.

STOCK PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS
The annual changes for the five-year period shown in the following graph are based on the assumption that $100 was invested on the last trading day in 1993 in Pinnacle West stock and in the market represented by each of two indices (the S&P 500 Index and the Edison Electric Institute Index of Investor-Owned Electrics), and that any dividends were reinvested.

(1) The value of the restricted stock is based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date the restricted stock was granted. The restrictions lapse on most restricted stock awards upon (i) the passage of three years from date of grant or upon retirement after the age of 60 and
(ii) the holding of certain numbers of unrestricted shares for certain periods of time, as determined by the Human Resources Committee at the time of grant. Any dividends paid on restricted stock will be held by the Company until the restrictions lapse. The number and value (at market) of aggregate restricted shareholdings as of the end of 1998 were: Mr. Davis - 7,600 shares, $322,050; Mr. Post - 10,918 shares, $462,650; Mr. Schreiber - 6,600 shares, $279,675; Mr. Snell - 17,500 shares, $741,563; and Mr. Stewart - 18,824 shares, $797,667. The grants of restricted stock to Mr. Snell in 1996 and 1997 fully vested upon his retirement in February 1999.
(2) The figures in this column for 1998 consist of Company matching contributions to the Company's employees' savings plan: Mr. Davis - $4,669, Mr. Post - $4,800, Mr. Schreiber - $2,400, Mr. Snell - $0, and Mr. Stewart
- $0; the above-market portion of interest accrued under a deferred compensation plan: Mr. Davis - $5,552, Mr. Post - $6,211, Mr. Schreiber - $0, Mr. Snell - $8,434, and Mr. Stewart - $2,919; life insurance premiums paid by the Company for: Mr. Davis - $1,228, Mr. Post - $2,306, Mr. Schreiber - $1,485, Mr. Snell - $1,584, and Mr. Stewart - $10,206; and $24,900 paid to Mr. Snell for service as a director of APS.

EXECUTIVE BENEFIT PLANS
All of the plans described below relate to the Company. Messrs. Davis, Post, Schreiber and Stewart are covered by executive benefit plans provided by APS; however, those plans are substantially identical to the plans described for the Company, and the benefits provided to them would be the same as if they were participants in the Company's plans. Accordingly, for purposes of this section's discussion of the plans, the term "Company" refers to Pinnacle West or APS, except as otherwise noted.
EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT PLAN AND SUPPLEMENTAL EXCESS BENEFIT RETIREMENT PLAN. The following table illustrates the annual benefits, calculated on a straight-life annuity basis, that would be provided under the Company Employees' Retirement Plan and the Supplemental Excess Benefit Retirement Plan to the Company's officers who retire at age 65 or later at the indicated compensation and years of service levels.

----------	

(a) Compensation under the retirement plan consists solely of base salary up to $160,000 (as adjusted for cost-of-living), including any amounts voluntarily deferred under the Company's 401(k) plan and salary reduction contributions under the Company's flexible benefits plan. While the retirement plan does not include amounts voluntarily deferred under other deferred compensation plans, bonuses or incentive pay, the Supplemental Excess Benefit Retirement Plan does include, subject to certain exceptions, these additional components of compensation plus base salary beyond the $160,000 limit.
(b) Although years of service begin accumulating on the date of employment, benefits do not vest until the completion of five years of service.
12

The Company's Supplemental Excess Benefit Retirement Plan provides enhanced benefits. Benefits payable under this plan that are in excess of the benefits payable under the Company's retirement plan (which, as a qualified defined benefit pension plan, is limited pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code) are payable from the general assets of the Company. The number of credited years of service for each of the individuals named on page 10 and their 1998 remuneration covered by the Company's plans and individual employment agreements are as follows: Mr. Davis - 26 years, $413,230; Mr. Post, 26 years, $621,000; Mr. Schreiber - 15 years, $499,875 (see description of Mr. Schreiber's employment agreement below); Mr. Snell - 38 years, $921,953 (see description of Mr. Snell's employment agreement below); and Mr. Stewart - 5 years, $618,512 (see description of Mr. Stewart's employment agreement below). The amounts shown in the table above are not expected to be subject to any reduction or offset for Social Security benefits or other significant amounts.
EMPLOYMENT AND SEVERANCE ARRANGEMENTS. Mr. Snell and the Company were parties to an employment agreement setting forth the terms of his employment as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. This agreement expired on February 5, 1999 and Mr. Snell's employment has ended, although he remains as Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors. The contract allowed Mr. Snell to participate in the employee benefit plans generally available to Company employees, and in the Company's deferred compensation plan, supplemental excess benefit retirement plan, and stock option plan, and provided him with a supplemental pension under the agreement. For purposes of determining his supplemental pension benefits, Mr. Snell's years of service on February 5, 1990 were assumed to be 29 years, and he was credited with an additional year for each year of employment thereafter. Mr. Snell's credited years of service disclosed above (38) include the 29 years of awarded service.
As Chairman, Mr. Snell will be paid $200,000 annually, on a non-employee basis, for continuing chairman responsibilities. In addition, effective March 1, 1999, Mr. Snell became entitled to a monthly pension from the retirement plan, the supplemental pension plan and his employment contract equal to $39,039. In accordance with his employment agreement, the Company reimburses Mr. Snell each month for a portion of the cost of his retiree medical coverage and has purchased a $100,000 life insurance policy for Mr. Snell at a cost of $1,270. The Company also reimburses Mr. Snell for any additional taxes he may be required to pay as a result of the Company's payment of a portion of his retiree medical coverage and its purchase of the life insurance policy.
Mr. Schreiber and the Company are parties to an agreement entered in February 1999 as part of his promotion to President of the Company. The agreement replaces his earlier employment agreement with APS. The new agreement awards Mr. Schreiber 35,000 Pinnacle West stock options issued at the price in effect on February 10, 1999, subject to vesting at the rate of 20% annually over five years. To make up for retirement benefits Mr. Schreiber lost as a result of his decision to accept employment as an officer of the Company, he is also credited with 15 years of service for pension purposes.
In August 1996, APS entered into an agreement with Mr. Stewart which provided a supplemental pension benefit calculated by adding a base amount of 20% of his average monthly wage (as determined by the highest 36 consecutive months) and 10% of his average monthly wage for each year of service up to a maximum of 100% of his average monthly salary. This benefit vested in November 1998. In addition, Mr. Stewart is to receive 2,000 shares of restricted Pinnacle West stock annually.
13

The Company has entered into severance agreements, which are identical in content, with each of its executive officers except Mr. Post and Mr. Schreiber (see below). These agreements are intended to provide stability in key management of the Company. Under the agreements each officer will receive a payment and other severance benefits having an aggregate value of not more than 2.99 times the officer's "base income" (the average of the officer's annual compensation over the five years preceding the year of a "change of control") if, during the three-year period following a change of control of the Company, the officer's employment is terminated or the terms and conditions of his or her employment are significantly and detrimentally altered. "Change of control" includes any change of control event required to be reported under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, an unrelated third party's acquisition of 20% or more of the Company's voting stock or substantially all of the assets of the Company, a merger or acquisition of the Company in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, a change in the majority of the members of the Company's Board of Directors over a two-year period, which change is not approved by two-thirds of the members of the Board then serving who were members immediately prior to the change, or the filing of a voluntary or involuntary petition of bankruptcy (other than for liquidation or dissolution) which is not dismissed within 30 days. No severance benefits will be payable to an officer who has attained age 65 or whose termination is on account of retirement, voluntary termination, disability or death, or for "cause" as defined in the agreements. Each of the agreements terminates on December 31st of each year upon six months' advance notice by the Company to the officer; if the six months' advance notice is not given, the agreements will continue for successive one-year periods until the notice is given.
Messrs. Davis, Post, Schreiber and Stewart have entered into severance agreements with APS which are identical to the Company's severance agreements with its executive officers, except the term is for two years following a change of control, and the filing of any voluntary or involuntary petition of bankruptcy is not a "change of control" event.
Effective January 1, 1992, the Company established a deferred compensation plan for directors and officers of the Company. Effective January 1, 1996, the Company established a revocable trust for the purpose of funding the benefits under the deferred compensation plan. Upon the occurrence of certain events, which generally include the sale of substantially all of the Company's assets, a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving entity, certain changes in the composition of the Board of Directors or someone acquiring 20% or more of the Company's voting stock, the trust will become irrevocable and the Company will be required to fully fund the benefits earned under the deferred compensation plan within 60 days after the occurrence of that event.

ITEM 2 - SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL
The Company has been advised that the Arizona Safe Energy Coalition (owner of record of 57.196 shares), c/o Betty Schroeder, 5349 West Bar X Street, Tucson, Arizona 85713 intends to present the following proposal at the 1999 annual meeting. The proposal and supporting statement, for which the Board of Directors and the Company accept no responsibility, are set forth below. The Board opposes this proposal for the reasons stated on pages 16 and 17.
REFUSE PLUTONIUM FUEL & TRITIUM PRODUCTION AT PALO VERDE 1, 2, & 3
"WHEREAS: The Department of Energy (DOE) plans to dispose of surplus weapons plutonium by immobilization in ceramics and possibly as plutonium/uranium oxide (MOX) fuel for commercial reactors;
"The DOE is also seeking a commercial reactor to produce tritium for nuclear warheads;
"Arizona Public Service (APS) has expressed interest in both;
"We strongly oppose both because we believe both would: (1) violate the barrier between nuclear power and nuclear weapons, and (2) generate great quantities of radioactive waste, exacerbating the already critical, unresolved problems of radioactive waste storage. In addition, MOX fuel would (1) still be weapons-usable, so would require heavy security in transit and at reactors greater proliferation potential than immobilization; (2) be more costly for fuel fabrication and reactor operation, (3) be too dangerous because it would be more hazardous to control during fissioning in reactors, increasing operating risks and component aging; (4) fail to substantially reduce the quantity of plutonium since nearly as much new plutonium would be generated during fissioning; (5) spread plutonium more widely than if immobilized directly; and (6) increase the likelihood of locking the U.S. and the world into a deadly plutonium economy;
"The DOE has a poor track record over the last 23 years, managing large projects;
"The potential financial rewards are too small to justify the large risks; and
"Electrical utility deregulation and the resulting cost-cutting by utilities further shakes public confidence in APS' ability to maintain safety and security for either MOX or tritium operations;
"THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the shareholders request the Company to establish a firm policy to: (1.) refuse to use plutonium (MOX) fuel; and (2.) refuse to generate tritium."
SUPPORTING STATEMENT:
MOX: Three corporations (ComEd, Entergy and General Electric) recently canceled their interest in MOX, recognizing large risks with doubtful payback. MOX's increased operating risks pose grave dangers of accidents, with significant negative financial impact on Pinnacle West Capital Corporation. Weapons plutonium cannot be fissioned directly, but must undergo complicated and dangerous processing, creating additional radioactive waste. Regulatory uncertainties between the DOE and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) could complicate the process, introducing further adverse economic conditions. European experience with MOX fuel is not comparable since theirs is from reprocessed commercial reactor wastes; none has used weapons plutonium. European reprocessing corporations are a driving force of MOX fuel, though public support has
15

dropped. The U.S. should lead Europe and Russia in improving immobilization for all plutonium disposition.
TRITIUM: Greater volumes of both high and low level radioactive waste would be generated in reactors producing tritium than normal reactor operations. Current need for tritium is unproven. Resuming tritium production implies that the U.S. plans to maintain a nuclear arsenal indefinitely, counter to our treaty obligations.
The safety of hundreds of future generations depends upon the careful isolation of radioactive materials from the biosphere. Use of weapons plutonium and generation of weapons tritium in commercial reactors would create a dangerous precedent.
For economic, safety, environmental, and nonproliferation reasons, please vote YES.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS' STATEMENT IN OPPOSITION
Although the Company is fully supportive of the proponent's ideals of supporting environmental safety, the statements made in the proposal and its accompanying documentation are incomplete and in some cases misleading.
By the Department of Energy's own account, the MOX fuel program is designed to support U.S. nuclear weapons nonproliferation policy by reducing global stockpiles of excess fissile materials. The net effect of fissioning MOX fuel is a reduction in the total amount of easily obtainable weapons-usable plutonium. Indeed, the fundamental purpose of the MOX fuel program is to ensure that plutonium once produced for nuclear weapons is never again used for such weapons. While it is true that weapons-usable material may be obtained from MOX fuel, the Company does not believe that MOX fuel should be characterized as still "weapons-usable," because complex chemical reprocessing would be required to obtain "weapons-usable" material from MOX fuel.
As such, spent MOX fuel should provide no more of a security risk than normal nuclear fuels. Additionally, the DOE's own studies show that no additional spent fuel wastes are produced by virtue of using fuel fabricated from excess plutonium. Companies such as APS are at the forefront of efforts to reduce radioactive waste, and APS, in particular, has long had in place a successful program and continues to meet its goals for reducing generation of radioactive waste as well as hazardous and mixed wastes.
As to the proponent's assertions of increased operating costs and significant negative financial impact to the Company, any additional operating costs of actually using MOX fuel would be borne by the government. The proponent also ignores the fact that the Company's decisions to participate in new ventures are based, in part, upon a careful cost-benefit analysis which takes into account all expected costs, risks and anticipated returns.
With respect to the proponent's reference to safety, APS continues to be one of the top performers in the U.S. nuclear industry in terms of regulatory safety as indicated by reviews of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Institute for Nuclear Power Operation. Also, in 1996, in recognition of its outstanding performance, APS received the Edison Award for industrial safety.
16

The Board does not feel that it is in the shareholders' best interest to adopt policies that limit the Company's ability to explore new ventures, including those discussed in the proponent's proposal, that could ultimately prove beneficial to the Company and its shareholders.
THE BOARD THEREFORE RECOMMENDS A VOTE AGAINST THE ABOVE SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL.
GENERAL
BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP. Mr. Gallagher is President of Gallagher & Kennedy, P.A., a law firm which provided legal services to the Company in 1998 and which will provide such services in 1999.
COST OF SOLICITATION. The cost of the solicitation of proxies, which will be by mail, will be borne by the Company. Brokerage houses and others will be reimbursed for their out-of-pocket expenses in forwarding documents to beneficial owners of stock.
INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS. It is anticipated that the Company's financial statements as of December 31, 1999 and for the year then ended will be examined by Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent certified public accountants. Representatives of that firm are expected to be present at the annual meeting with the opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and to be available to respond to appropriate questions.
VOTING PROCEDURES. A majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote in person or by proxy at the meeting will constitute a quorum for the conduct of business. Broker "non-votes" with respect to any matter are not considered shares present and will not affect the outcome of the vote on such matter.
For the election of directors, the individuals receiving the highest number of votes will be elected. The number of votes to which each shareholder will be entitled is to be determined by multiplying the number of shares of common stock owned as of the March 12, 1999 record date by the number of directors to be elected, and any shareholder may cumulate his or her votes by casting them all in person or by proxy for any one nominee, or by distributing them among two or more nominees.
In voting on the shareholder proposal each shareholder will be entitled to cast a number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock owned by such shareholder as of the record date.
NOMINATIONS TO THE BOARD. A shareholder wishing to propose the nomination of an individual for election to the Company's Board of Directors must submit his or her recommendation to the Company in writing, and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, so as to be received by the Office of the Secretary no later than November 22, 1999. Copies of the Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws are available upon written request delivered to the Office of the Secretary. The Company suggests that proponents submit their proposals to the Office of the Secretary by Certified Mail --Return Receipt Requested.
