The letter asks the IURC to investigate what caused the prolonged outages from June 29 through July 4, including if AES's tree trimming practices are efficient.
INDIANAPOLIS — AARP has sent a letter to the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission in support of an AES Indiana storm coverage investigation.
This comes after advocacy groups filed a formal petition to investigate AES Indiana's practices and procedures for storm outage restoration on Thursday. "Many of our members and employees endured 2 days or more of being without power mostly in the AES service territory due to the thunderstorm on June 29," AARP Indiana State Director Sarah Waddle wrote in the letter.
"We agree with the petitioners that the Commission should evaluate the practices and procedures, including its reporting requirements, to ensure Indiana ratepayers are receiving the best services under the circumstances and that meaningful investments have been made to protect the reliability and resiliency of its infrastructure," the letter said.
