Indiana Governor Mike Braun has issued a new statewide energy emergency and extended the state’s gas tax holiday for another 30 days.

Braun says affordability is his top prority, and his gas tax suspensions delivered the cheapest gas in America for Hoosier all summer.

The new energy emergency is prompted by new disruptions to global oil shipping lanes in recent weeks, due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, escalating into maritime drone battles in the Black Sea/Kerch Strait. This is also because of disruptions in the Alberta Oil Sands Region due to Canadian wildfires.

The new energy emergency will take effect Friday, and it provides a 120-day window of authority.

Both gas taxes will be suspended through Sep. 5.
