Indianapolis, In. – A bill designed to keep a balance between building new energy generation sources and overbuilding at the expense of ratepayers, is headed to the governor’s desk. The bill was co-authored by State Representative Bruce Borders, Republican, Jasonville.  House Enrolled Act 1007 would also require large load customers who are looking to construct new energy generation such as natural gas or SMRs, for their facility, to pay 80% of the construction cost of any new generation capacity they need. Borders said this legislation ensures Indiana does not close current generation facilities unless the utility can prove to the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission that the closure will financially benefit consumers and there is equal or greater new generation to replace it.
