Utility rate case watch

Source: Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission, 2025 Residential Bill Survey (July 1, 2025 billing, 1,000 kWh, trackers included, taxes excluded); Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor (OUCC), Key Cases by Utility, read Oct. 24, 2026.

Northern Indiana Public Service Company, LLC customers paid the most, $233.62; Auburn Municipal Electric customers paid the least, $60.80. Includes trackers, excludes taxes.

This survey covers utilities whose rates the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) sets. It leaves out 72 municipal and 42 cooperative electric providers that are outside IURC rate jurisdiction. Their rates are set locally by city councils or co-op boards, so that is where to speak up about them.
