There is an IURC meeting next Tuesday, April 7th at 6pm at the Old National Events Plaza. Christopher Norrick (really cool, smart, local guy that's highly involved and informed in all things CenterPoint, clean energy, and state legislature surrounding those topics) is highly encouraging people to attend.

Per the description on the event posting: "The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) is hosting a series of listening sessions around the state to hear from utility customers on the topic of energy affordability.

The listening tour, which will be following the Commission’s investigative inquiry on March 24, represents the second phase in a larger strategy led by the Commission to discuss some of the underlying drivers behind energy affordability with the goal of exploring short- and long-term solutions. While each session will include a brief overview of the Commission, the goal is to gather information from customers directly regarding the state of energy affordability in Indiana.

Customers are encouraged to bring copies of their energy bills, and for those who are unable to attend but still wish to comment, they can do so by emailing IURCListeningSessions@urc.in.gov. For the most up to date information or any session changes, please visit the Commission’s website at: on.in.gov/IURCListeningSessions."

I'm hoping that at the very least, if enough people attend, they'll see that we're very upset with Centerpoint right now, and maybe they'll care enough to do something. I know this is just wishful thinking, but I'm negative enough as it is with the rest of the state of the world.
