Indiana Michigan Power is facing pushback over its plan to add over 3,000 megawatts of natural gas to power new Google and Amazon AI data centers.

The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission will decide on this expedited plan by year-end, which could significantly increase Hoosiers’ utility bills before 2030.
