Announcing...
The Indiana Utility Rate Payer Trust
A fund to assist individuals and organizations wanting to participate in matters affecting utility regulation in Indiana.

What is the Indiana Utility Rate Payer Trust?

The Trust was established in 1997 for the purpose of:

"Providing funding to cover reasonable costs, expenses and efforts that may be incurred either by the Office of Utility Consumer Counselor for the State of Indiana, or by a group, entity or individual who desires to participate on behalf of ratepayer(s) in a rulemaking, an adjudication, or appeal or any other type of proceeding affecting the regulation (including rates charged and services rendered) of an Indiana utility or its affiliates, including, but not limited to proceedings before the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission, the Federal Communications Commission, or the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or their successors, but either lacks the wherewithal to participate or cannot cost effectively participate under the then existing circumstances."

Funding decisions are made by the Executive Committee of the Trust, which reviews applications submitted by individuals and/or organizations seeking assistance.

How was the Trust established?

The Trust was established as part of an agreement to settle litigation over the canceled Marble Hill nuclear project. A portion of the settlement was set aside to provide funds for the trust.

Who may apply for funding?

An individual ratepayer; a group of ratepayers; an organization; agency; municipality; residents of a community; utility service territory or geographic area may request funding from the trust.

How are funding decisions made?

Funding decisions are made by a five member Executive Committee of the Trust. The Executive Committee reviews applications from those seeking assistance from the Trust.
