Southern Indiana Gas & Elec Co electricity rates

It serves 133,795 residential customers in Indiana. At 17.52¢ per kilowatt-hour it tracks the Indiana average of 18.15¢ closely, which is what you would expect from a utility large enough to shape that average itself.

Consumption is close to the national norm at 886 kilowatt-hours a month against 871, so the rate translates fairly directly into the bill.

A shareholder-owned company whose rates are set by the state regulator, including an approved return on the capital it has invested. That matters because a bill is not only the cost of generating electricity: it also carries the cost of the network, and who owns that network changes how it is paid for.

In 2024 the average Southern Indiana Gas & Elec Co customer went 458 minutes without electricity across 1.43 interruptions. The median across the 941 utilities that report this is 185 minutes.

That is worse than typical. Overhead lines through wooded or storm-exposed terrain are the usual explanation, and the fix is vegetation management and circuit automation, both of which are recovered through rates.

838 residential customers had net-metered solar in 2024, totalling 8.92 megawatts. That works out to 6.3 installations per thousand customers, against a median of 8 across the utilities reporting it.

Adoption is below the national median. A low retail rate reduces what solar displaces, and export compensation set at avoided cost rather than the retail rate reduces it further. What exports are actually worth.
