NIPSCO rate case

BENEFITS FOR NIPSCO CUSTOMERS
A recently filed settlement agreement in the NIPSCO electric rate case will reduce the utility's request by $54 million if approved by the IURC. The OUCC, industrial customers, the United Steelworkers, & municipal governments have signed on to the agreement, with no opposition from LaPorte County. 


KEY CASE UPDATES
We've reached a settlement agreement in the Crawfordsville 
municipal electric rate case, & have recommended approval of Community Natural Gas Company's proposed long-term improvement plan. We are litigating the American Suburban Utilities sewer rate case & preparing for the March 15 evidentiary hearing. 


SHUT-OFF MORATORIUM ENDS SOON
Indiana's annual winter disconnection moratorium for income-eligible electric & natural gas consumers ends March 15. Anyone who is concerned about being able to pay a utility bill on time & in full should contact the utility immediately to make payment arrangements.
