Community advocate Chris Norick explains how bills are actually built (base rates + multiple riders), why disconnection notices are surging, and what CenterPoint’s recent announcements—a $5M community fund, a $3 monthly “offset,” planned town halls, and the sale of its Ohio gas business—do and do not change for households in southwestern Indiana. We cover the IURC’s role, “regulatory capture,” the TDSIC tracker, why ROE incentives drive build-more decisions, and practical steps that matter now (weatherization, targeted assistance, and directing comments to the decision-makers who set the rules).
