Are Electric Rate Hikes Cutting into Your Budgets?

 We Help Indiana's Commercial Ratepayers Reduce Rate Hikes So They Can Put More Funding Toward Mission-Critical Items

Who We Are

Defenders

Advocates

Champions

We believe Indiana's small and mid-sized businesses, schools, and local governments are the lifeblood of the state. From jobs to students to public services, these institutions deserve fair and predictable energy costs so that they can reliably serve our local communities and fuel our economy.

The Problem

What's Happening to Indiana's Commercial Consumers?

Rate Hikes

Skyrocketing electric rates for commercial ratepayers over just 24 months. And there are more in the pipeline.

Unfair Subsidy

Ballooning subsidy costs are being added to commercial ratepayers' bills. In some cases, these subsidies add up to 33% additional cost.

Outages & Damage

Commercial ratepayers fund grid improvements for big industrial companies while suffering more outages and power quality damages.

The Solution

What FRA Does for You

Complete legal and regulatory representation before the IURC. Our mission for you is:

1. Disarm Rate Hikes Before They Erode Your Budgets

- We force the utility to open their books.

- We bring in expert witnesses and seasoned attorneys.

​- We dismantle the math that’s been used to make you subsidize others.

2. Eliminate Unfair Fees You're Forced to Pay

- We fight quietly approved money-grabs.

- We fight for your right to opt out of unfair costs.

​- We push for programs you can choose to join, and that actually help your bottom line.

3. Stop Bloated Utility Spending Before It Hits Your Books

- We call out padded budgets.

- We challenge feel-good projects that don’t serve you.

​- We fight to ensure only essential upgrades that improve your service get the green light.

By resource pooling and taking collective action, what was once impossible for commercial consumers, influencing ratemaking decisions, is now affordable and easy through the FRA!

Meet the Four Drivers of Your Increased Costs

Most people think Rate Cases are the only place where Indiana's monopoly utilities can increase costs. If only this were true! From capital projects to efficiency funds, rebate program design, and 20-year resource planning, Indiana's regulated utilities have multiple ways to increase your all-in costs, not just your "rates".

Total Increase & Cost Allocations

The size of the pie and the size of your slice. The pie is always too big, and slice sizing is always unfair.

Capital Projects & Infrastructure

An easy way to add 3, 4, or 5% + in extra charges to your bill outside of rate cases.

Rebates/ Subsidy Programs

Where double-dips into your operating budget are designed. Add another 3-5%.

Grid Planning/ Supply & Demand

The recent hikes and the looming shortfalls all originate in the Integrated Resource Plan. 

Think There Were Just

Two Rate Cases In the Last Two Years?

For NIPSCO ratepayers, there weren't just two "rate cases". There were:

  • ​10 FERC Order 2222 stakeholder meetings
  • IRP process meetings
  • ​6 rate case filings
  • 6 TDSIC plan filings
  • DSM plan filings

Were you notified? Did you have a voice? Did you even know?

Or did you miss 31 straight games while NIPSCO and the other groups battled it out to dictate the outcomes you have today?
