Governor Mike Braun and lawmakers are criticizing the move, calling for utility restraint, while consumer groups warn of past billing failures. The increase will roll out in two phases starting July 2026, with AES claiming less than $5 monthly impact per household — though a new state law blocks further base rate hikes until January 2030. The commission’s 3-2 vote revealed sharp disagreements over profit margins and expense calculations, with critics accusing AES of inflating costs for unfilled positions.
