Indiana Michigan Power wants to raise your electric bill by about $10, on average, each month.
The utility says that will fund additional investments in reliability, customer experience and new technologies in an effort they call “Powering The Next.”
That effort includes replacing 120 miles of overhead and underground power lines, replacing more than 2,500 poles, upgrading 16 substations and inspecting and maintaining trees along 4,000 line miles, since trees are the number one cause of outages.
They say, despite recent storms, projects approved in previous rate reviews have dropped tree-related outage durations to the lowest point in 5 years.

Perhaps the monopolistic utility I & M would have plenty of money for maintenance of their system if they could refrain from jumping on the green energy bandwagon by spending truckloads of money of solar panel farms that are only usable for one-half of every 24 hours on average.
I say NO!
Didn’t they try this a couple years ago 🤔🤔🤔
“Green” energy = intermittent power production with no storage for times when it doesn’t produce power. The green in green energy is the redirection of tax dollars to favored political donators.
What did liberals use for light before candles? Electricity. The future apparently is stupid and dark.
