About electricity rates in Indiana
Indiana has regulated, vertically integrated utilities and no retail choice. Duke Energy Indiana is the largest, AES Indiana serves Indianapolis, Indiana Michigan Power serves the northeast including Fort Wayne, NIPSCO serves the northwest, and CenterPoint Energy serves the Evansville area, all under the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission. Rural electric cooperatives and municipal utilities serve many smaller communities.
The state was long one of the most coal-dependent in the country, and coal still provides a large share of generation, but utilities are replacing retiring coal plants with natural gas, wind and solar. Cold winters are heated mostly with natural gas, and humid summers bring air-conditioning peaks. Traditional net metering has ended for new customers, so newer rooftop solar systems are credited for exported power at a rate below the retail price.
