Indiana Bills Rise This Summer

Indianapolis residents brace for higher summer electricity bills as AES Indiana rolls out a temporary surcharge to cover last winter’s fuel spikes—adding nearly $10 to the average monthly bill. A second, pending increase could add another $8 by fall, a strategy regulators approved to ease financial strain. While the Fuel Adjustment Clause lets utilities pass on rising fuel costs, critics warn it discourages investment in cleaner energy. Meanwhile, AES faces a separate battle over a $193 million base rate hike, with regulators demanding $21 million cut. With average bills nearing $150, experts urge simple savings: seal leaks, adjust thermostats, switch to LEDs, and turn off lights.
