Indiana Utility Regulatory Commissioner Andy Zay has been fired from the post by Governor Mike Braun. Zay had voted in favor of a rate hike for AES Indiana six weeks ago and was demoted as the IURC chair after that.
Braun fired him Monday. An agency spokesperson saying Zay was removed “for non-adherence to state policies and laws related to his role as Commissioner at the IURC.” The governor had appointed him and named him the chairman in December. Braun wants the commission to revisit the 71-million-dollar rate increase approved for AES Indiana. That hike affects customers both in the City of Indianapolis, as well as some residences in and around Petersburg.
