Several of Indiana’s major employers and biggest cities are not happy with their energy options — they want more, and they want it cleaner. These companies, along with the cities of Indianapolis and Bloomington, wrote a letter to Duke Energy and AES Indiana formally requesting the utilities offer more options for large customers to source their electricity from renewable energy. The tariff would let these cities and companies buy power produced from renewable energy that is locally produced. “There is strong customer demand for clean energy in Indiana,” said Caryl Auslander, executive director of Advanced Energy Economy Indiana. With these programs, customers pay a premium as an extra charge on their electricity bill to be put toward renewable energy sources in the Midwest.
