Citizens Energy
Citizens energy is "regulated as a municipal utility" according to the 3/9/2010 MOU between the City/Mayor Ballard and the "Department of Public Utilities of the City of Indianapolis, as Trustee of a Public Charitable Trust, D/B/A Citizens Energy Group" when Ballard transferred water & wastewater utilities to them. "Regulated as" - I need to ask the IURC if it is one. GXIndiana (talk) 03:23, 16 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Citizens had to file its gas rates with the IURC for approval long before it took over the water and wastewater systems. I believe that in most cases in Indiana, a municipally-owned utility does not have to file with the IURC, the theory being that the city or town council has to approve the rates and therefore are answerable to the users of the utility via the voting booth. Citizens' board of directors appoints its successors when a vacancy occurs on the board, without any input from the public or the city administration because it is a public charitable trust. Therefore, the IURC approval is required as a check and balance. Indyguy (talk) 03:45, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
