Research Policy & Planning Division
The Research, Policy, and Planning Division was established to inform the Commission regarding the ramifications of the dynamic interrelationships of the electric and natural gas industries. The division provides advice and education on a wide variety of topics to the Commission. The Division’s work includes, but is not limited to, integrated resource planning, federal and regional oversight, evaluating changes in federal and state legislation, studying the evolution in regulation, and reviewing the economics of the energy industry and the implications for Indiana.
Below you will find information about utilities’ integrated resource plans, Commission reports, conference and forums hosted by the Division, and state and national resources regarding the electricity and national gas industries.

Integrated Resource Plans
Utilities must engage in integrated resource planning, in which they plan on both a short-term and long-term basis by evaluating available resource alternatives to meet a utility’s future electricity requirements. Electric utilities are required to submit integrated resource plans to the commission. Find these IRPs, as well as Director reports and all submitted comments here.
