Indiana Electric Rate Hike Petition Seeks 30 Percent Surcharge
Public Service Commission of Indiana schedules July 23 24 and 25 hearings at the State House Indianapolis on the Indiana Electric Light Association request for a temporary 30 percent surcharge to recover store costs. Thirty six companies back the petition saying coal labor and material costs have surged and future deliveries are priced well above norms. The action aims to prevent utility insolvency and fund necessary extensions amid wartime demands.
