Three Windows Are Closing

Today's threads converge on a single pressure point: the cost of industrial power in Indiana is being set right now, across multiple simultaneous proceedings and proposals, and most plant leaders are not at the table.

GM's next platform decision for that empty Bedford floor. The 180-day IDEM permit surge that begins the moment CCR primacy is approved. And the IMPA load-service determination on DataOne. Each has a name and a docket. Get on them.

Audit your GM program exposure against the block variants being wound down. Contact your local WDB on Power Up reimbursement timelines. Determine whether your firm has intervenor status in any pending IURC rate case involving Duke Energy Indiana or AES Indiana, for background on what utility rate case intervention actually requires and delivers, see Utility Rate Case Intervention for Commercial & Industrial Operators. If you are served by IMPA in the Frankfort area, attend or follow the DataOne open houses September 21st and 22nd.
