Energy must be safely and reliably delivered to Hoosiers at the least-cost possible. Consumer-oriented energy policies that create investment in renewables and energy efficiency make sense as the costs of coal and nuclear energy become more expensive.
CAC urges Gov. Braun to use the power of his office to protect struggling Hoosier ratepayers and veto HB1007, SB423, & SB424, which force captive utility ratepayers to assume all the financial risk for pre-construction costs related to SMRs.
An unbalanced settlement has been proposed in NIPSCO’s pending rate case that would target Hoosier families with larger rate increases so large and politically connected commercial and industrial customers can get smaller increases.
CAC filed the testimony of Program Director, Ben Inskeep, asking the IURC to reject NIPSCO's radical $42/month rate hike and remind NIPSCO that utility affordability is a priority and a requirement under the law.
CAC calls on state legislators to enact a moratorium on new “hyperscaler” data centers used to power artificial intelligence, and to create a task force to study what policies should be adopted before lifting the moratorium.
