Most of us don’t give much thought to the electric grid until something goes wrong. Like the engine in a well-maintained car, the grid hums in the background, quietly doing its job. You don’t see it, but you rely on it every minute of every day. And just like a car, it needs ongoing maintenance, tune-ups, and, occasionally, major overhauls to stay reliable.

Indiana’s utilities have an obligation to keep pace with this change. That is why in recent years, energy companies have made substantial investments in their infrastructure, even if you can’t see it. For example, we’ve added advanced technology to the electric grid that reduces power outages and hardens it against severe weather. We’ve also made significant investments to protect the environment.

Like servicing an engine before it fails, electric grid upgrades aren’t always visible, but they are critical, and the results are there. It’s in the lights that come on every time you flip the switch and the factories that employ our friends and neighbors. That’s why we’re committed to keeping these lights on and the factories running with affordability top of mind. Because while you may not see the grid, we all depend on it.

With the conclusion of Indiana’s 2025 legislative session, Hoosiers have reason to be proud of our state’s leadership on energy policy during this dynamic period of unprecedented energy demand. The legislature leaned into pragmatic, forward-looking solutions that balanced reliability, affordability, and innovation — all while reinforcing Indiana’s commitment to economic growth and building upon current law.

The nexus of energy and economic development was at the heart of this year’s public policy proposals introduced by Sen. Eric Koch and Rep. Ed Soliday. Whether it was urging state and federal coordination, supporting emerging technologies like small modular reactors (SMRs) and advanced transmission technologies, or speeding up generation build out for large customers, lawmakers and Gov. Mike Braun’s administration worked with purpose to keep Indiana competitive and demonstrate leadership on key issues facing our state and nation.

Energy is the foundation of Indiana’s economic future. It demands recognition of the unique challenges facing each community and a vision for what we want to become as a state. As we look ahead, continued engagement between the Braun Administration, policymakers, utilities, local leaders, and the business community is essential. But with the momentum built this session, Indiana is well-positioned to lead on energy – just as we’ve long led on manufacturing, innovation, and economic growth.
