Key Issues
- —
NIPSCO renewable transition cost recovery: IURC scrutiny of whether PPA pricing and owned-asset capital costs for wind and solar replacements to retired coal units are prudent, with intervenors challenging the pace and cost of the buildout in active tracker and rate proceedings.
- —
Duke Energy Indiana IRP implementation and coal retirement sequencing: Ongoing IURC review of Duke's Cayuga and Gibson coal unit retirement schedules, replacement resource procurement adequacy, and whether proposed natural gas bridge capacity is consistent with approved clean energy commitments.
- —
AES Indiana Petersburg coal retirement and solar replacement approval: IURC proceedings evaluating prudency of Petersburg unit retirements and approving associated solar and storage procurement; consumer advocates contesting rate impacts and reliability assurances.
- —
TDSIC (Transmission, Distribution, and Storage System Improvement Charge) tracker inflation: Multiple IOUs filing TDSIC seven-year plan updates with escalating capital budgets; IURC and OUCC scrutinizing whether cost increases reflect genuine reliability needs or gold-plating, following legislative attention to tracker mechanism reform.
- —
Broadband deployment and utility pole attachment disputes: Increased IURC docket activity over pole attachment rates and make-ready timelines as ISPs and municipalities seek accelerated rural broadband buildout under federal BEAD program funding, creating friction with IOU pole owners over access and cost allocation.
Upcoming
Estimated deadline for NIPSCO to file its next annual TDSIC plan update with the IURC, covering 2027 capital investments; OUCC and industrial intervenors expected to challenge projected cost escalation.
Estimated IURC evidentiary hearing date for Duke Energy Indiana's pending solar and storage procurement approval proceeding tied to IRP implementation; parties including OUCC and Sierra Club expected to present competing resource adequacy testimony.
Estimated IURC final order expected in AES Indiana (Indianapolis Power & Light) solar asset rider proceeding for Petersburg replacement resources; decision will set precedent for capital cost recovery timing on utility-owned renewables.
Estimated opening of Indiana General Assembly 2027 session, at which legislation addressing utility tracker reform, IRP statutory requirements, and broadband pole attachment timelines is anticipated based on interim study committee activity in late 2026.
