Bill > SB0257

This bill prohibits the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC), which is the state agency that oversees utility rates, from approving rate increases for electric utilities if those increases are solely due to the costs of providing electricity to a data center or to a new or existing facility that uses a significant amount of electricity (more than 5% of the utility's average peak demand over the last three years, or 150 megawatts, whichever is less) but employs fewer than 50 full-time workers on-site. This aims to prevent the general customer base from subsidizing the electricity costs of large energy-consuming facilities that do not contribute significantly to local employment.
