Much like refinancing a home, securitization allows customers to pay off the remaining costs of coal plants over a longer period of time at a lower rate -- which is supposed to lower their energy bills.

This winter, many Bloomington residents were shocked to see their Duke Energy bills had gone up significantly. Though most of it was due to the very cold temperatures we had, some residents weren't aware that Duke Energy had also increased its rates.

Some Hoosiers who get federal assistance with their electric and gas bills may face shutoffs after this week. The state moratorium on winter utility disconnections ends on Monday, March 15.

Even though Indiana ranks fifth in the most power plant emissions in the country, it has still cut emissions in half since 2005.

Duke Energy announced it will retire its Gallagher coal plant in New Albany, Indiana, more than a year early.

Indianapolis Power & Light officials announced Wednesday the company will have a new name, AES Indiana.

Much like refinancing a home, securitization allows customers to pay off the remaining costs of coal plants over a longer period of time at a lower rate -- which is supposed to lower their energy bills and make the transition to renewable energy easier.

Four years ago, Indiana passed a law to slowly decrease the amount solar customers get for energy they generate -- from the higher retail rate to the lower wholesale rate.

While the rapid transition to renewable energy may save utility customers money in the long run, it can lead to higher energy bills in the short term.

The bill is based off of a similar law in Michigan. Every year electric utilities would have to show how they plan to provide reliable energy to their customers for the next three years.
