The Indiana Energy Task Force is leading a 77-page Strategic Energy Growth Plan, which includes 10 recommendations aimed at accelerating energy development and protecting customers from higher costs. The plan includes increasing responsibility for infrastructure expenses for large electricity users, including data centers, and companies agreeing to cover 100% of new generation project costs, regardless of their customer lifetime, would qualify for expedited regulatory approval. The task force also recommends encouraging counties to establish Energy Development Zones where electricity generation, transmission, storage and industrial facilities could receive streamlined approvals. Additional recommendations include creating an Indiana Energy Infrastructure Bank and expanding opportunities for battery energy storage. The recommendations require further legislative or regulatory action before implementation.
