Principal Economist Tyler Comings filed testimony on the cost of Duke Energy Indiana’s coal fleet before the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission. Mr. Comings showed that the Edwardsport plant, which runs on gasified-coal and natural gas, is exorbitantly costly and that ceasing coal at the plant is likely the best option for ratepayers. He also recommended disallowances for some of the costs of running the plant and proposed a sub-docket for the Commission to further review capital costs at Duke’s coal fleet.
