IPL provides electric service to 470,000 customers in Marion County and portions of nine surrounding counties. The utility’s request would raise a monthly residential bill for 1,000 kwh from $97.82 to $103.95, according to the OUCC’s calculations.
This would include increasing the flat, monthly customer charge from $11 to $17. The “energy charge,” or the part of the base rate that varies by usage, would also rise.
The OUCC is scheduled to file testimony on April 6, and so are several parties that have formally intervened in the case. They are Citizens Action Coalition of Indiana, the Kroger Co. and several of IPL’s industrial customers (Allison Transmission Holdings Inc., Eli Lilly and Co., Ingredion Inc., Linde LLC, Rolls Royce Corp. and Vertellus Agriculture & Nutrition Specialties LLC).
Consumers who wish to submit written comments may do so via the OUCC’s website at www.in.gov/oucc/2361.htm or by mail, email or fax. Written comments the OUCC receives by March 31 will be filed with the commission and included in the case’s formal evidentiary record. Comments should include the consumer’s name, mailing address and a reference to “IURC Cause No. 44576.”
