INDIANA — The Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor (OUCC) is inviting written comments from Indianapolis Power & Light Co. (IPL) customers regarding the utility’s pending rate case.
The OUCC — the state agency representing consumer interests in cases before the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) — is scheduled to complete its review of IPL’s request and file testimony on April 6, 2015.
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 $11.00 to $17.00. The “energy charge,” or the part of the base rate that varies by usage, would also rise.
The request would give IPL a $67.8 million increase in overall annual operating revenues. IPL states in testimony that it is seeking the new rates due to increases in operating and maintenance costs, and to pay for capital improvements.
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: Mail: Consumer Services Staff, Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor, 115 W. Washington St., Suite 1500 South, Indianapolis, IN 46204
Written comments the OUCC receives by March 31, 2015 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.”
