Let’s Talk About Electric Rates and Electric Rate Increases For more than 50 years, the cost per kilowatt hour of electricity to NIPSCO customers decreased regularly. In recent years, however, this cost has been steadily rising. WHY? There are three major reasons. Let's look at each of them: INFLATION O Since 1970. the cost of living has risen at an unprece- . dented rate. This is even more true for NIPSCO than for || each and every one of you since the electric utility ■ ■ £ ma 1 M business is so capital intensive. W ■KAj Ji tfMb All of our costs in providing electric service have gone Vof BB JB| up dramatically. These include the cost of labor, steel mate- T B JB» rials and supplies, trucks and equipment, interest on borrowed — BSfIH. money, construction and property replacements, insurance and pension benefits, and social security contributions. |g V Utilities are not the cause of inflation. They are directly in Bl 4 ¥ il WF its path and one of its most severely impacted victims. We can PJ t• HB not petition for increased rates until inflationary operating costs JB' . force us to do so. Then we must justify our costs and new rates before the Public Service Commission of Indiana. wr * . FUEL COSTS > \ 8 We b urn more than 5 million tons of coal a year to / . generate the electricity needed by our 358,000 £ electric customers. Fuel represents the largest single £ operating expense in the production of electricity— A J c a > ''iV over 75 per cent of the total direct cost of producing 1 ■.’’f a kilowatt hour. In 1970 we paid an average of $6.50 for a ton of coal. Today * 'MMB that average has escalated to $29.35 a ton. These increased *•;costs have resulted from new labor contracts for coal miners. AJHBHBF OSHA safety requirements, reclamation costs associated with transportation from Midwest and Western ' n coal mines, and state and federal regulations. ENVIRONMENTAL costs 3 Another factor pushing up customers' utility bills is more and more government-dictated environmental controls which do not produce one kilowatt hour of W electricity. In fact, they increase maintenance costs. BHBI disrupt maintenance procedures and often reduce the production capacity of our plants. Our customers must m realize that these environmental costs are included in the price of their energy as they add to our capital costs as well as .’jl operating expenses. JBMK, • Since the Clean Air and Water Acts became effective in 1970, NIPSCO has invested approximately $l2B million in pollution control equipment. —— Between 1979 and 1983, we have budgeted an additional w ' jL* $343 million to meet present environmental regulations.

A Modern Parable A man who had just moved to a certain town approached a citizen of that community and inquired where He might find a suitable church in which to worship. He qualified his request by saying that he didn t want to go where they preached tithing or where he would be expected to get involved with teaching or anything like that." He also said he would not want to attend Sunday night or mid-week meetings and he probably would need to sleep in at least two Sundays out of fbe month. The wise citizen directed him to the specific corner of town where there was a church that met all of his requirements. Therefore, on Sunday morning the gentleman and his wife, dressed in their finest attire, set out for the church of their choice.
