On April 4, 2024, Duke Energy, one of Indiana's five Investor-Owned Utilities (IOUs), filed a rate case (Cause No. 46038) with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC). Duke Energy, the largest IOU in Indiana, serves people in 69 of the state's 92 counties.

Duke Energy's proposed rate increases are substantial. However, this rate case impacts more than just Duke Energy's customers. If approved, it will expand Indiana's carbon footprint, kicking the can down the road for renewable energy while costing consumers hundreds of dollars a year more in electricity bills.

The good news is that Duke Energy's rate case is merely a proposal. The IURC can mandate changes to it. The extent of these changes will largely depend on feedback from ratepayers and the public.
