NEWS: In Indiana, the ROE debate has reached a boiling point.

  • What happened: As we’ve previously reported, ratepayers have their eyes on utility profits—and states are taking action. In Indiana, for example, the state’s Utility Regulatory Commission is investigating utility ROEs and “trackers” (which enable companies to recoup some expenses right away).

  • The context: Gov. Mike Braun has been pushing the IURC, along with investor-owned utilities, to lower Hoosiers’ bills.

  • What’s next: The IURC is considering performance-based financial incentives for IOUs and calling for them to double customer assistance programs.
