EH 1007—LS 7547/DI 101 Digest Continued
(IURC): (1) An expedited generation resource plan (EGR plan) to meet
customer load growth that exceeds a specified threshold. (2) A
generation resource submittal for the acquisition of a specific
generation resource in accordance with an approved EGR plan. (3) A
project to serve one or more large load customers. Sets forth: (1) the
requirements for approval of each of these types of requests; (2)
standards for financial assurances by large load customers; and (3) cost
recovery mechanisms for certain acquisition costs or project costs
incurred by energy utilities. Amends the statute concerning public
utilities' annual electric resource planning reports to the IURC to
provide that for an annual report submitted after December 31, 2025,
a public utility must include information as to the amount of generating
resource capacity or energy that the public utility plans to retire or
refuel with respect to any electric generation resource of at least 125
megawatts. Provides that for any planned retirement or refueling, the
public utility must include, along with other specified information,
information as to the public utility's plans with respect to the following:
(1) For a retirement, the amount of replacement capacity identified to
provide approximately the same accredited capacity within the
appropriate regional transmission organization (RTO) as the capacity
of the facility to be retired. (2) For a refueling, the extent to which the
refueling will maintain or increase the current generating resource
accredited capacity or energy that the electric generating facility
provides, so as to provide approximately the same accredited capacity
within the appropriate RTO. Requires IURC staff to prepare a staff
report for each public utility report that includes a planned electric
generation resource retirement. Provides that if, after reviewing a
public utility's report and any related staff report, the IURC is not
satisfied that the public utility can satisfy both its planning reserve
margin requirement and the statute's prescribed reliability adequacy
metrics, the IURC shall conduct an investigation into the reasons for
the public utility's inability to meet these requirements. Provides that
if the public utility's report indicates that the public utility plans to
retire an electric generating facility within one year of the date of the
report, the IURC must conduct such an investigation. Provides that: (1)
a public utility may request, not earlier than three years before the
planned retirement date of an electric generation facility, that the IURC
conduct an investigation into the planned retirement; and (2) if the
IURC conducts an investigation at the request of the public utility
within that three year period, the IURC may not conduct a subsequent
investigation that would otherwise be required under the bill's
provisions unless the IURC is not satisfied that the public utility can
satisfy both its planning reserve margin requirement and the statutory
reliability adequacy metrics as of the time the investigation would
otherwise be required. Provides that if a CPCN is granted by the IURC
for a facility intended to repower or replace a generation unit that is
planned for retirement, and the CPCN includes findings that the project
will result in at least equivalent accredited capacity and will provide
economic benefit to ratepayers as compared to the continued operation
of the generating unit to be retired, the CPCN constitutes approval by
the IURC for purposes of an investigation that would otherwise be
required. Provides that if, after an investigation, the IURC determines
that the capacity resources available to the public utility will not be
adequate to allow the public utility to satisfy both its planning reserve
margin requirements and the statute's prescribed reliability adequacy
metrics, the IURC shall issue an order: (1) directing the public utility
to acquire or construct; or (2) prohibiting the retirement or refueling of;
such capacity resources that are reasonable and necessary to enable the
public utility to meet these requirements. Provides that if the IURC
does not issue an order in an investigation within 120 days after the
initiation of the investigation, the public utility is considered to be able
to satisfy both its planning reserve margin requirement and the

EH 1007—LS 7547/DI 101EH 1007—LS 7547/DI 101 Digest Continued
statutory reliability adequacy metrics with respect to the retirement of
the facility under investigation. Provides that if the IURC issues an
order to prohibit the retirement or refueling of an electric generation
resource, the IURC shall create a sub-docket to authorize the public
utility to recover in rates the costs of the continued operation of the
electric generation resource proposed to be retired or refueled, subject
to a finding by the IURC that the continued costs of operation are just
and reasonable. Makes a technical change to another Indiana Code
section to recognize the redesignation of subsections within the section
containing these provisions.

12 public utility providing electric service to Indiana customers shall,
13 regardless of whether the public utility is required to submit an annual
14 planning reserve margin report to MISO, file with the commission a
15 report, in a form specified by the commission, that provides the
16 following information for each of the next three (3) resource planning
17 years, beginning with the planning year covered by the planning
18 reserve margin report to MISO described in this subsection:
19 (1) The:
20 (A) capacity;
21 (B) location; and
22 (C) fuel source;
23 for each electric generating facility that is owned and operated by

23 that the electric generating facility provides, so as to provide
24 approximately the same accredited capacity within the
25 appropriate regional transmission organization.
26 (2) (4) The amount of generating resource capacity or energy, or
27 both, that the public utility has procured under contract and that
28 will be used to provide electric service to Indiana customers,
29 including the:
30 (A) capacity;
31 (B) location; and
32 (C) fuel source;
33 for each electric generating facility that will supply capacity or
34 energy under the contract, to the extent known by the public

9 (C) Other federal reliability requirements that the public utility
10 is obligated to meet in accordance with its membership in an
11 appropriate regional transmission organization with respect to
12 the planning years covered by the report, to the extent known
13 by the public utility with respect to any particular planning
14 year covered by the report.
15 For each planning reserve margin requirement reported under
16 clause (A) or (B), the public utility shall include a comparison of
17 that planning reserve margin requirement to the planning reserve
18 margin requirement established by the same regional transmission
19 organization for the 2021-2022 planning year.
20 (5) (7) The reliability adequacy metrics of the public utility, as
21 forecasted for the three (3) planning years covered by the report.
22 (m) (o) Upon request by a public utility, the commission shall
23 determine whether information provided in a report filed by the public
24 utility under subsection (l): (n):
25 (1) is confidential under IC 5-14-3-4 or is a trade secret under
26 IC 24-2-3;
27 (2) is exempt from public access and disclosure by Indiana law;
28 and

35 (o) (q) A:
36 (1) corporation organized under IC 23-17 that is an electric
37 cooperative and that has at least one (1) member that is a
38 corporation organized under IC 8-1-13; or
39 (2) general district corporation within the meaning of
40 IC 8-1-13-23;
41 may file the report required under subsection (l) (n) as a consolidated
42 report on behalf of any or all of the cooperatively owned electric
EH 1007—LS 7547/DI 101 25
1 utilities that it serves.
2 (p) (r) In reviewing a report filed by a public utility under
3 subsection (l), (n), the commission may request technical assistance
4 from MISO or any other appropriate regional transmission organization
5 in determining:
6 (1) the planning reserve margin requirements or other federal
7 reliability requirements that the public utility is obligated to meet,
8 as described in subsection (l)(4); (n)(6); and
9 (2) whether the resources available to the public utility under
10 subsections (l)(1) (n)(1) through (l)(3) (n)(5) will be adequate to
11 support the provision of reliable electric service to the public
12 utility's Indiana customers.
13 (s) With respect to a report submitted under subsection (n) after
14 December 31, 2025, commission staff shall review the reports
15 submitted by public utilities and shall, not later than ninety (90)
16 days after the date of submission of the reports, submit to the
17 commission a staff report concerning any planned retirements
18 included in the reports under subsection (n)(2). The report must
19 make recommendations to the commission based on whether each
20 planned retirement:
21 (1) is consistent with the standards set forth in subsection (m);
22 (2) will be replaced with an amount of replacement capacity
23 that will provide approximately the same accredited capacity
24 within the appropriate regional transmission organization as
25 the amount of capacity of the facility to be retired;
26 (3) will not adversely and unreasonably impact a public
27 utility's ability to provide safe, reliable, and economical
28 electric utility service to the public utility's customers;
29 (4) will result in the provision to Indiana customers of electric
30 utility service with the attributes of:
31 (A) reliability;
32 (B) affordability;
33 (C) resiliency;
34 (D) stability; and
35 (E) environmental sustainability;
36 as set forth in IC 8-1-2-0.6; and
37 (5) is required in order to comply with environmental laws,
38 regulations, or court orders, including consent decrees, that
39 are or will be in effect at the time of the planned retirement.
40 (t) The commission shall make the staff reports prepared under
41 subsection (s) publicly available by posting the staff reports on the
42 commission's website. Upon the posting of a staff report on the
EH 1007—LS 7547/DI 101 26
1 commission's website, the commission shall accept public
2 comments on the report for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days
3 after the date of posting.
4 (q) (u) If, after reviewing a report filed by a public utility under
5 subsection (l), (n) and any staff report prepared with respect to the
6 public utility under subsection (s), the commission is not satisfied
7 that the public utility can either:
8 (1) provide reliable electric service to the public utility's Indiana
9 customers; or
10 (2) either:
11 (A) (1) satisfy both:
12 (i) (A) its planning reserve margin requirement or other
13 federal reliability requirements that the public utility is
14 obligated to meet, as described in subsection (l)(4); (n)(6); and
15 (ii) (B) the reliability adequacy metrics set forth in subsection
16 (g); (h); or
17 (B) (2) provide sufficient reason as to why the public utility is
18 unable to satisfy both:
19 (i) (A) its planning reserve margin requirement or other
20 federal reliability requirements that the public utility is
21 obligated to meet, as described in subsection (l)(4); (n)(6); and
22 (ii) (B) the reliability adequacy metrics set forth in subsection
23 (g); (h);
24 during one (1) more of the planning years covered by the report, the
25 commission may shall conduct an investigation under IC 8-1-2-58
26 through IC 8-1-2-60 as to the reasons for the public utility's potential
27 inability to meet the requirements described in subdivision (1) or (2),
28 or both. provide sufficient reason as to that inability, as described
29 in subdivision (2). In addition, if the public utility has indicated in
30 its report under subsection (n)(2) that it plans to retire an electric
31 generating facility within one (1) year of the date of the report, the
32 commission must conduct an investigation under IC 8-1-2-58
33 through IC 8-1-2-60 as to the reasons for the public utility's
34 potential inability to meet the requirements described in
35 subdivision (1) or provide sufficient reason as to that inability, as
36 described in subdivision (2). However, a public utility may request,
37 not earlier than three (3) years before the planned retirement date
38 of an electric generation facility, that the commission conduct an
39 investigation under IC 8-1-2-58 through IC 8-1-2-60, for the
40 purposes described in this subsection, with respect to the planned
41 retirement. If the commission conducts an investigation at the
42 request of a public utility within the three (3) year period before
EH 1007—LS 7547/DI 101 27
1 the planned retirement date of an electric generation facility, the
2 commission may not conduct a subsequent investigation that would
3 otherwise be required under this subsection with respect to the
4 retirement of that same electric generation facility unless the
5 commission is not satisfied, as of the time that an investigation
6 would otherwise be required under this subsection, that the public
7 utility can meet the requirements described in subdivision (1) or
8 provide sufficient reason as to that inability, as described in
9 subdivision (2). If a certificate is granted by the commission under
10 this chapter for a facility intended to repower or replace a
11 generation unit that is planned for retirement, and the certificate
12 includes findings that the project will result in at least equivalent
13 accredited capacity and will provide economic benefit to
14 ratepayers as compared to the continued operation of the
15 generating unit to be retired, the certificate under this chapter
16 constitutes approval by the commission for purposes of an
17 investigation required by this subsection. However, if the
18 commission finds that facts and circumstances regarding the
19 planned retirement have changed significantly since the certificate
20 was granted and that those changes concern the public utility's
21 ability to meet the requirements described in subdivision (1), the
22 commission may conduct an investigation into the planned
23 retirement of the unit.
24 (r) (v) If, upon investigation under IC 8-1-2-58 through IC 8-1-2-60,
25 and after notice and hearing, as required by IC 8-1-2-59, the
26 commission determines that the capacity resources available to the
27 public utility under subsections (l)(1) (n)(1) through (l)(3) (n)(5) will
28 not be adequate to support the provision of reliable electric service to
29 the public utility's Indiana customers, or to allow the public utility to
30 satisfy both its planning reserve margin requirements or other federal
31 reliability requirements that the public utility is obligated to meet (as
32 described in subsection (l)(4)) (n)(6)) and the reliability adequacy
33 metrics set forth in subsection (g), (h), the commission shall issue an
34 order:
35 (1) directing the public utility to acquire or construct; or
36 (2) prohibiting the retirement or refueling of;
37 such capacity resources that are reasonable and necessary to enable the
38 public utility to provide reliable electric service to its Indiana
39 customers, and to satisfy both its planning reserve margin requirements
40 or other federal reliability requirements described in subsection (l)(4)
41 (n)(6) and the reliability adequacy metrics set forth in subsection (g).
42 (h). The commission shall issue an order under this subsection not
EH 1007—LS 7547/DI 101 28
1 later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the initiation of the
2 investigation under subsection (u). If the commission does not issue
3 an order within the one hundred twenty (120) day period
4 prescribed by this subsection, the public utility is considered to be
5 able to meet the requirements described in subsection (u)(1) with
6 respect to the retirement of the electric generation facility under
7 investigation. Not later than ninety (90) days after the date of the
8 commission's an order by the commission under this subsection, the
9 public utility shall file for approval with the commission a plan to
10 comply with the commission's order. Notwithstanding IC 8-1-3 or
11 any other law, any appeal of an order by the commission under this
12 subsection is entitled to priority review and shall be given
13 expedited consideration in accordance with Rule 21 of the Indiana
14 Rules of Appellate Procedure.
15 (w) With respect to a report submitted under subsection (n)
16 after December 31, 2025, if the commission issues an order under
17 subsection (v) to prohibit the retirement or refueling of an electric
18 generation resource, the commission shall create a sub-docket to
19 authorize the public utility to recover in rates the costs of the
20 continued operation of the electric generation resource that was
21 proposed to be retired or refueled. The commission must find that
22 the continued costs of operation are just and reasonable before
23 authorizing their recovery in the public utility's rates. The creation
24 of a sub-docket under this subsection is not subject to the one
25 hundred twenty (120) day time frame for the commission to issue
26 an order under subsection (v).
27 The (x) A public utility's plan under subsection (v) may include:
28 (1) a request for a certificate of public convenience and necessity
29 under this chapter; or
30 (2) an application under IC 8-1-8.8;
31 or both.
32 (s) (y) Beginning in 2022, the commission shall include in its annual
33 report under IC 8-1-1-14 the following information:
34 (1) The commission's analysis regarding the ability of public
35 utilities to:
36 (A) provide reliable electric service to Indiana customers; and
37 (B) satisfy both:
38 (i) their planning reserve margin requirements or other
39 federal reliability requirements; and
40 (ii) the reliability adequacy metrics set forth in subsection
41 (g); (h);
42 for the next three (3) utility resource planning years, based on the
EH 1007—LS 7547/DI 101 29
1 most recent reports filed by public utilities under subsection (l).
2 (n).
3 (2) A summary of:
4 (A) the projected demand for retail electricity in Indiana over
5 the next calendar year; and
6 (B) the amount and type of capacity resources committed to
7 meeting the projected demand;
8 (C) beginning with the commission's annual report due
9 before October 1, 2026, and in each subsequent annual
10 report, the planned retirements or refuelings of electric
11 generation resources and the plans to replace or retain the
12 capacity or energy, or both, of the electric generation
13 resources planned to be retired or refueled; and
14 (D) beginning with the commission's annual report due
15 before October 1, 2026, and in each subsequent annual
16 report, the reports of commission staff under subsection
17 (s).
18 In preparing the summary required under this subdivision, the
19 commission may consult with the forecasting group established
20 under section 3.5 of this chapter.
21 (3) Beginning with the commission's annual report filed under
22 IC 8-1-1-14 in 2025, the commission's analysis regarding the
23 appropriate percentage or portion of:
24 (A) total spring UCAP that public utilities should be
25 authorized to acquire from capacity markets under subsection
26 (g)(3)(B); (h)(3)(B); and
27 (B) total fall UCAP that public utilities should be authorized
28 to acquire from capacity markets under subsection (g)(4)(B).
29 (h)(4)(B).
30 (t) (z) The commission may adopt rules under IC 4-22-2 to
31 implement this section.
32 SECTION 5. An emergency is declared for this act.
