QUESTION: How will this rate increase impact my bill?

Our answer: In the original proposal, a typical residential combination gas and electric customer who uses around 900 kilowatt hours per month would experience a monthly bill increase of about $18 if the request would have been approved as filed. However, Vectren has since significantly lowered its request, and the revised bill impact is around $12.50. A decision on the filing is not expected until the first quarter of 2011.

QUESTION: What is an electric rate case?

Our answer: A rate case is a formal process regulated utilities must go through to increase rates. Because we are regulated by the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission, we can only change our prices, or rates, by filing a rate case to recover the costs of delivering electricity to your home. Unlike retail consumer businesses, such as gas stations or grocery stores, we are not able to change our prices without a formal rate case when the costs of doing business increase.
