Indiana Energy Association, Inc.

The Indiana Energy Association (IEA) is an association of electric power companies and natural gas companies that provide Indiana consumers with affordable and reliable energy, benefiting families and businesses across the Hoosier state. 

Our mission is to advocate policies that promote the general welfare of the energy industry to enhance its role in improving the economy and quality of life in Indiana. 

Indiana consumers and businesses benefit from electricity and natural gas rates that are lower than the national average – helping families and businesses save on their utility bills.  Since 2000, emissions from the Indiana electric power industry are down approximately 22% percent for carbon dioxide, 69% percent for sulfur dioxide, and nearly 70% percent for nitrogen dioxide.  We are investing heavily in new technologies to continue to reduce emissions, ranging from the construction of one of the world’s cleanest coal-fired power plants to the largest airport-based solar farms in the country.

IEA member companies support Indiana’s economy and the communities they serve.  We deliver electricity and gas service to 4,000,000 Hoosiers. 

More than 10,000 people are directly employed by IEA member companies in our state. 

We contribute perhaps more than any other industry to the economic development efforts of state and local government. IEA member companies also paid more than $600 million in total tax dollars in 2013 for property, income, sales and utility receipts taxes.  Our members collected $263 million in 2013 in sales taxes, money that goes back into our communities for schools and education, services, and roads and other infrastructure.
