- Indiana watchdog challenges AES Indiana’s $71 million electricity rate hike approval, citing concerns over affordability for customers.
An Indiana watchdog for utility consumers wants regulators to revisit AES Indiana’s $71 million electricity rate hike, saying the approval did not give enough weight to whether the higher charges are affordable for the utility’s hundreds of thousands of customers.
At the center of the challenge is whether households already under budget pressure should shoulder bigger electric bills while returns for utility investors remain protected.
