AES says higher bills are needed for infrastructure and rising costs.
Meanwhile:
* AES reported $639 million profit in one quarter
* Indiana regulators approved roughly $70 million more per year from ratepayers
* Nearly half of AES customers reportedly received a disconnection notice during the first half of 2025 according to consumer advocates.
Question for Indiana lawmakers:
Should working families pay more while utility companies report hundreds of millions in quarterly profits and data centers receive tax incentives?
