INDIANAPOLIS — Hoosiers frustrated with rising energy bills will soon have a chance to speak directly to the people responsible for regulating utility companies in Indiana.
The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) is hosting a series of public listening sessions across the state this spring, focused on energy affordability and potential solutions.
The sessions are part of a broader strategy launched by the Commission. An investigative inquiry in March kicked off the first phase: examining the underlying drivers behind energy affordability by speaking with Indiana's utility companies.
These community listening sessions represent phase two: hearing directly from customers.
