AES Rate Hike Coming This Summer

AES is raising electricity rates this summer, with the first increase hitting in July and a second in January 2027, after the Indiana Regulatory Commission approved the hike. Governor Mike Braun strongly opposes the decision, calling it “unacceptable,” and has removed the commission chair who supported it. A separate, temporary fuel charge of about $9.52 per month (for 1,000 kWh) is also in effect until August. The rate hike follows a settlement with Indianapolis and major businesses like Walmart and Eli Lilly, which includes a pause on further increases until at least 2030 — though prices can still fluctuate based on demand. Residents should monitor their usage and bills closely as these changes take effect. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
