Citizens Water Agreement

CITIZENS WATER RATES
The OUCC, Citizens Energy Group, & intervening parties have reached a settlement agreement in the utility's pending water rate case. Provisions include a lower rate increase than originally requested, along with no increases in the utility's fixed charges for residential customers. 


ELECTRIC INFRASTRUCTURE PLANS
Duke Energy & NIPSCO are seeking approval of proposed electric infrastructure plans that would cost $1.83 billion & $1.33 billion, respectively. Under the proposals, rates would rise over the next seven years to pay for projects in the plans. The OUCC is inviting consumer comments and will be filing testimony in the coming weeks.
