Trackers

In addition to base rates, NIPSCO and other electric utilities recover and credit separate, specific costs through rate adjustment mechanisms known as "trackers." Rate adjustments via trackers are reviewed by the OUCC and approved by the IURC on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis.

NIPSCO uses the following trackers:

Tracker Recovers Costs for Frequency IURC Cause No.
Fuel Adjustment Clause (FAC) Coal and other fuels Quarterly 38706
Environmental Cost Recovery (ECR) Emissions control equipment (including operations & maintenance)  Semi-Annual 42150

Resource Adequacy Adjustment (RA) Capacity resources needed for system reliability Semi-Annual 44155
Regional Transmission Operator (RTO) Participation in Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator (MISO)  Semi-Annual 44156

All publicly filed documents in tracker cases can be reviewed by visiting the IURC's electronic document system and entering the appropriate docket number.
