Indiana has more toxic coal ash ponds and landfills than any other state. Most of them threaten important bodies of water, such as Lake Michigan and the Ohio, Wabash, and White Rivers.
Toxic Coal Ash in Indiana
- December 8, 2022
According to comments and reports submitted by Citizens Action Coalition of Indiana (CAC), in partnership with Earthjustice and Vote Solar, Duke Energy Indiana (Duke) failed to comply with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission’s (IURC) rules governing Integrated Resource Plans (IRPs). Duke broke the rules by declining to properly provide opportunities for public engagement in their 2021 Integrated Resource Plan for electric utilities.
As a result of slow electric load growth due to many factors (including economic downturns, increased energy efficiency, and decreased costs of distributed generation, most notably rooftop solar), Indiana’s electric utilities are seeking to increase fixed monthly charges on customer bills.
These are the issues of immediate importance we are working on right now.
