   Attention:  Treasurer

   Dear Madam:

            Arizona  Public Service  Company (the  "Company") hereby  agrees to
   sell  to  the  several  Underwriters  (the  "Underwriters")  listed  in  the
   Company's Prospectus  Supplement (the "Prospectus Supplement")  of even date
   herewith relating to $100,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its First
   Mortgage  Bonds,  therein  designated  the  6  5/8%  Series  due  2004  (the
   "Purchased Bonds"), and the Underwriters hereby agree to purchase, severally
   and not  jointly, at a  purchase price  of 98.881% of  the principal  amount
   thereof plus accrued  interest from March  1, 1994 to  the Closing Date  (as
   hereinafter defined),  the respective  principal amounts of  Purchased Bonds
   set  forth  opposite  the  names  of  the  Underwriters  in  the  Prospectus
   Supplement.  The sale of the Purchased Bonds by the Company and the purchase
   thereof   by  the  Underwriters   shall  be  made   on  the   basis  of  the
   representations, warranties,  and agreements contained  in the  Underwriting
   Agreement (the "Underwriting  Agreement"), dated August 3, 1993, relating to
   the issuance and sale of up  to $400,000,000 of the Company's First Mortgage
   Bonds under the Company's Indenture,  and shall be subject to the  terms and
   conditions set forth in such Underwriting Agreement.   The provisions of the
   Underwriting   Agreement  are   incorporated  herein   by  reference.     As

   the Purchased Bonds are described in the Prospectus Supplement.

            The Underwriters propose to offer the Purchased Bonds to the public

            On March 2, 1994,  the Company will deliver the  Purchased Bonds to
   the  Underwriters at  the office  of BankAmerica  National Trust  Company, 2
   Rector Street,  New York, New  York 10006,  against payment of  the purchase
   price  by  transfer of  funds  by  Fed Wire  from  the  Underwriters to  the
   Company's  account at a bank in  Phoenix, Arizona designated by the Company.
   Such purchase price will be deemed to have been received by the Company upon
   the Company's  receipt of  the Fed  Wire reference number  relating to  such
   transfer  of  funds.    On March  3,  1994,  the  Company  will  pay to  the
   Underwriters, by means  of transfer of funds  by Fed Wire to  a bank account
   designated by the Underwriters, interest  on the purchase price for one  day
   at the March 2,  1994 Fed Funds Effective Rate.  Closing  shall occur at the
   office of  the Company, 400  North Fifth Street,  Phoenix, Arizona, at  8:00
   a.m. Phoenix time, on March 2, 1994, or  at such other time and date as  the
   Underwriters  and the Company may agree upon  in writing, such time and date
   being  referred to  as  the "Closing  Date."   All  of  the Purchased  Bonds
   referred to  in this paragraph  will be in  definitive and  fully registered
   form  and  in  such  denominations  and  registered  in  such  names  as the
   Underwriters  request, and will be made available for checking and packaging
   at the office  of BankAmerica  National Trust Company  referred to above  at
   least twenty (20) hours prior to the Closing Date.

            If  the foregoing  is  acceptable to  you,  please sign  below  and
   transmit  evidence of such signing to  Salomon Brothers Inc at your earliest
   convenience.   At that point, the agreement signified hereby will constitute
   the Terms  Agreement,  as  described in  the  Underwriting  Agreement,  with
   respect to the $100,000,000 of Purchased Bonds referred to herein.

            All  capitalized terms  herein, not  otherwise defined  herein, are
   used as defined in the Underwriting Agreement.  This

   agreement  may be executed in one or  more counterparts, each of which shall
   be deemed  to be  an original,  but all  such respective  counterparts shall
   together constitute a single instrument.

   Mortgage, the rights and obligations of the Company and/or the rights of the
   holders of the bonds and/or the terms and  provisions of the Mortgage may be

   principal amount of the bonds then outstanding of each series of bonds so to
   be affected  (excluding in any case bonds disqualified from voting by reason
   of the Company's  interest therein  as provided in  the Mortgage);  provided
   that, without  the consent  of the  holder hereof,  no such  modification or
   alteration  shall, among other  things, impair  or affect  the right  of the

   respective due dates  expressed herein, or permit  the creation of  any lien

    have been 2.11 for the same period.
