On April 1, 2009, the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) commenced an investigation of electric utility tree trimming practices and tariffs relating to service quality in the State of Indiana. All Indiana jurisdictional electric utilities are designated as respondents in this case, docketed as IURC Cause No. 43663.

An IURC prehearing conference was held in Cause No. 43663 on April 23, 2009. At that time, the Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor (OUCC) appeared on behalf of the public, which includes all Indiana residential, commercial and industrial utility consumers. Pursuant to Indiana law (IC 8-1-1.1), the OUCC represents the public’s interests in all IURC proceedings.

Public field hearings in this case have been held in Muncie, Indianapolis, Seymour, Merrillville, Fort Wayne, and Evansville. In addition, the OUCC has filed all written consumer comments received by its October 30, 2009 deadline for inclusion in the IURC’s formal case record.

The OUCC filed testimony in this case on August 19, 2009. For an overview, please see the OUCC’s August 20 news release. The OUCC also filed responsive testimony on November 20, 2009 and reply testimony on December 18, 2009.
