Governor Pushes for Utility Affordability

Governor Mike Braun just appointed Anthony Swinger as chairman of the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission, days after the commission approved a major $71 million rate hike for AES Indiana. The governor, focused on affordability, didn’t mention outgoing chairman Andy Zay—whose January appointment was part of the 3-to-1 vote approving the hike. Swinger, who recused himself from that vote due to prior involvement in the case, now faces pressure to reverse course. Governor Braun expressed disappointment with the hike, calling on utility companies to share Hoosiers’ financial burden—and he’s counting on Swinger to deliver real affordability reforms.
