According to the American Clean Power Association, Indiana made big waves in clean energy during the first quarter of 2025.

Coal ash is the waste leftover from burning coal — which can contain toxic heavy metals like mercury, cadmium and arsenic. Flooding could damage the caps that cover the coal ash ponds, causing the ash to leak out and pollute waterways nearby.

The environmental group alleges the Eagle Valley Generating Station in Martinsville discharges untreated wastewater into a stretch of the White River, just upstream of Martinsville’s municipal wells.

Energy costs — and CEO paychecks — remain high even as average Hoosiers struggle to pay bills, according to a new report.

The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission on Wednesday cleared the way for AES Indiana to transition two units at its Petersburg Generating Station from coal to gas.

U.S. Sen. Mike Braun asked the state’s powerful utility regulator to reject a coal plant’s proposed conversion to natural gas.

The utility originally requested an increase that would raise customers' bills by more than $17 per month. The approved settlement agreement will increase customers' utility bills by just over $9 per month.

The Hoosier utility company this week filed a request with the IURC to transition its two remaining coal-burning units.

Electric bills for Indianapolis area residents were expected to go up by more than $17 a month. Now, that increase could be less than $10 a month.

Thousands of Hoosier customers lost power during the week of heavy storms, prompting frustration.
