In my most recent opinion editorial published in the Indianapolis Business Journal and The Indianapolis Star, I discuss how AES Indiana's proposed plans to repower Petersburg Units 3 & 4 from coal to natural gas is more affordable and more reliable in the short and long term. If approved, this will will save customers approximately $240 million over a 20-year period by avoiding the additional operational and maintenance costs associated with operating Peterburg as a coal-fired resource. By transitioning from coal to natural gas, we are lowering costs and ensuring the most reliable energy for our customers. #energyfuture #Indianaenergy #AES
At AES Indiana, we're focused on powering Indiana’s future and maintaining our state's competitiveness in a rapidly evolving energy landscape. As part of our commitment to affordable, reliable energy, we've proposed plans to repower Petersburg Units 3 & 4 from coal to natural gas. This transition aligns with Indiana’s energy policy and is the result of an open and transparent Integrated Resource Plan process. Sustainability is critical for Indiana’s long-term growth, and we’re committed to making responsible energy decisions that reduce our environmental impact while supporting economic progress. Transitioning to cleaner energy sources like natural gas is a key step in our journey to create a sustainable future for our communities. In his latest op-ed, Ken Zagzebski, President of AES US Utilities and SVP at The AES Corporation, discusses how these efforts will continue providing affordable, reliable energy to over 520,000 customers.
