The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission is hitting the road to hear from Hoosiers struggling with high energy bills.
Starting this week, the IURC will host ten listening sessions across the state-including stops in LaPorte, Fort Wayne, and Indianapolis.
Chairman Andy Zay says the goal is to hear directly from customers to find short- and long-term solutions for energy affordability.
Meetings run through late April, mostly from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. Attendees are encouraged to bring copies of their utility bills to share their experiences.
