Reliable Energy, Inc. is Indiana’s leading dependable energy advocacy organization.

Reliable Energy Indiana is dedicated to promoting a safe, reliable, and affordable energy supply through active legislation and regulatory efforts combined with a grassroots strategy.

Energy experts, such as the North American Electric Reliability Commission (NERC), have warned that maintaining a consistent power supply has become increasingly challenging for our nation’s grid operators. Among these operators, the Midcontinent Independent Systems Operator (MISO), which provides services in 15 U.S. states, including Indiana, has identified a pressing need for additional power resources. According to MISO and other grid operators, the decision to replace reliable power sources with intermittent sources like wind and solar is contributing to the unreliability of the electrical grid.

Reliable Energy advocates for an “all of the above” energy strategy that utilizes the state’s abundant resources, such as coal, while also promoting innovation. It is essential to ensure that Hoosier households and manufacturers have access to reliable power and are not exposed to rolling blackouts, as experienced in California. The state’s extreme weather conditions, with hot summers and cold winters, make maintaining a consistent power supply imperative.

Reliable Energy emphasizes the importance of a reliable energy supply and advocates for affordable electric rates. In recent years, Indiana’s utility rates have significantly increased due to the closure of many of the state’s coal plants. As a result, Indiana’s ranking for utility rates has dropped to 29th in the country, a significant decline from its previous position as the fifth lowest. Please take a look at the chart below.
