The Indiana Office of the Utility Consumer Counselor (OUCC) is inviting written comments on Indianapolis Power and Light’s (IPL) request for permission to potentially cover costs of equipment installation and extending electrical service to the rental locations.
The contract with Bolloré Group, the City of Indianapolis and IPL includes a profit sharing model which, with a successful service, shares some of the profits with the partners to recoup some of the startup costs. In the event increased usage of the service and the profit sharing model do not cover all the costs, the regulatory filing gives IPL permission to increase customer utility rates by one half of one percent (0.5%), or about $0.44/month for the average homeowner. Such a rate increase would not begin until 2018 and would last five years.
The OUCC is inviting written comments on IPL’s request through June 13, 2014.
We encourage each of you to show your support for this innovative service online, by mail, email or fax by June 13 according to the guidelines in the OUCC press release. Be sure to reference IURC Cause No. 44478 in your remarks.
We encourage you to take the time to show your support for BlueIndy and IPL no later than Friday, June 13 in order to ensure this unique EV car sharing program makes its debut in Indianapolis!
