Indiana Michigan Power (I&M) Rates

Pending cases for Indiana Michigan Power (I&M) include the utility's:

Base rates cover most infrastructure and operating/maintenance costs while rate adjustment “trackers,” as described below, allow for more frequent rate changes for specific costs as designated by law. The trackers were re-set when I&M's current base rates were approved in March 2020 and are still subject to adjustments every six or 12 months.

In the 2022 IURC survey of residential electric utility bills, I&M's typical bill ranked fourth-highest among the 12 electric utilities under the IURC’s jurisdiction.

I&M's current base rates were approved in February 2022, with previous base rate cases concluding in March 2020 and May 2018.

Trackers

In addition to base rates, Indiana electric utilities recover and credit separate, specific costs through rate adjustment mechanisms known as "trackers." I&M's rate adjustments via trackers are reviewed by the OUCC and approved by the IURC on a semi-annual or annual basis.

I&M's authorized trackers make up about 21.5% of a residential customer's typical electric bill as of March 2024.

I&M uses the following trackers. All filings are available by entering the cause number in the IURC's Online Services Portal.
