## Resource

BlackRock’s potential takeover of AES Indiana has ignited a fierce debate over who pays for the grid’s future — with ratepayer advocates sounding the alarm that profit-driven private equity could saddle half a million Hoosiers with higher bills. FERC is now weighing a complaint from groups like the Citizens Action Coalition, who fear BlackRock’s playbook will prioritize returns over community needs. While Indiana’s GOP leadership pledges to shield ratepayers, critics say without real regulation, those promises mean little. With closing expected by late 2026 or early 2027, the fate of AES Indiana — and its customers — hangs in the balance.
