IURC Hosting Listening Sessions on Utility Costs

STATEWIDE–The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission has been hosting listening sessions to let Hoosiers voice their concerns about rising utility costs.

Their latest listening session was Thursday April 9 at Noblesville City Hall.

“All in all, we want to create a vision over the next few years that will change the…maybe the culture of the IURC and give a tone to the utilities about how we can go down the road and still accomplish the goals we want…of economic development, of investing, in an aging infrastructure, but making sure those lights are on when you turn them on or go on when you turn them on and that it is at an affordable rate,” said IURC Chairman Andy Zay.

If you would like to attend one of the sessions, you are encouraged to bring a copy of your utility bill.

There are three more listening sessions scheduled across the state this month. The sessions will be held from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. local time, unless otherwise noted:

Monday, April 13 – Gary Public Library, Roma K. Ivey Community Room, 220 W. 5th Ave., Gary (5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. Central Time)
