Understanding Energy in Indiana
Indiana is a regulated electricity market historically dominated by coal-fired generation, though utilities are increasingly transitioning to natural gas and renewables. Duke Energy Indiana, AES Indiana, and NIPSCO serve the state's major population centers with competitive rates.
