NEW ENERGY EFFICIENCY CASES
NIPSCO & Vectren are the first electric utilities to seek IURC approval of new energy efficiency plans under a recently approved state law. OUCC lawyers and technical experts are focusing on a number of factors as they review these filings.

CITIZENS WATER SEEKS RATE INCREASE
On June 26, Citizens Energy Group filed a new rate case for its water utility in Indianapolis and portions of suburban counties. The request would raise a residential water bill by about $6 for 5,000 gallons. The OUCC is reviewing the request and will file testimony later this year. We're also inviting written consumer comments.

SAVING ON YOUR WATER BILL It's always a good idea to think about wise water use in the home or business, including checking for leaks. The OUCC offers a number of simple tips.
