Indiana electricity rates and bills
Homes in Indiana paid an average of 16.90¢ per kWh over the last 12 months (Sep 2025–Aug 2026), 6.3% below the US average of 18.04¢; 17.02¢ in August 2026 alone.1 The average residential bill was $149.72 a month in 2025, for 938 kWh.2
EIA monthly data through August 2026 (preliminary, released October 23, 2026); annual data for 2025 are final. Next monthly update expected November 24, 2026. Average revenue per kWh includes fixed charges and riders; it is not a tariff rate.
Midwest region, East North Central division
Indiana homes paid 16.90¢ per kWh over the last 12 months, 6.3% below the US average1, yet the average monthly bill rose 12.5% from 2024 to 2025, the 4th highest2 increase among the states. Inside the state, the utility matters more than the average: NIPSCO customers paid 22.05¢ per kWh in 2025, Duke Energy Indiana customers 14.98¢ per kWh3, and their monthly bills came out almost the same.
What a kilowatt-hour costs in Indiana, by period
The answer depends on the period. Over the last 12 months (September 2025 to August 2026), Indiana's residential customers paid an average of 16.90¢ per kWh, the 20th highest among the 50 states and DC and 1.14¢ per kWh less than the US average. In August 2026 alone the average was 17.02¢ per kWh, +5.0%1 against the same month a year earlier; monthly figures for 2026 are preliminary. For the full year 2025, EIA's final figure was 15.96¢ per kWh4.
All three are average revenue per kWh: what homes paid in total, including fixed charges, fuel adjustments and riders, divided by the electricity they used. No Indiana tariff carries a single price per kWh like these, and the averages behind them differ widely from one utility to the next (see below).
Among its 4 neighbors, only 1 had a lower residential average over the last 12 months: Kentucky, at 13.94¢ per kWh. Michigan was the highest, at 21.28¢ per kWh1.
| Michigan | 21.28¢ | +8.0% | 635 | $127.17 |

| Illinois | 18.91¢ | +10.6% | 717 | $126.59 |

The 2025 bill increase
Indiana's average residential bill was $149.72 a month in 2025, against $133.06 in 2024. That rise of 12.5% was the 4th highest in the country; the US average bill rose 5.9%. Two things moved together. The annual price went up 8.1%, the 8th highest4 increase among the states, and use per home rose from 901 kWh5 to 938 kWh2 a month.
The increase was not spread evenly. Duke Energy Indiana's average bill went from $120.266 to $148.57 (+23.5%), as its average price climbed 17.5%. The change was +17.8% at NIPSCO and +14.0% at CenterPoint; Indiana Michigan Power had the smallest increase of the large utilities, +8.4%3.

The higher prices have continued. The last 12 months averaged 8.8% above the 12 before, and the computed bill over that period was $157.02 a month. In August 2026, a summer month, the average bill was $188.99 on 1,110 kWh1.
Households' own reports point the same way. In the Census Bureau's 2025 survey, the median Indiana household paying for electricity reported about $174 for the previous month (US: $169), and 26.5% reported $250 or more, +5.9 percentage points7 on the 2024 survey. These are recalled bills with margins of error, and the change between the two years is not tested for significance.
The large utilities are far apart
5 investor-owned utilities deliver electricity to 77.4% of Indiana's residential customers, and their 2025 averages were far apart: 14.69¢ per kWh at AES Indiana, 14.98¢ per kWh at Duke Energy Indiana, 17.16¢ per kWh at Indiana Michigan Power, 19.78¢ per kWh at CenterPoint Energy Indiana South and 22.05¢ per kWh at NIPSCO. NIPSCO's average was 38.2% above the Indiana average and 24.0% above the national average for investor-owned utilities; AES Indiana's was 17.4% below the national average for investor-owned utilities3.
The smaller utilities widen the range. Indiana's 29 electric cooperatives (most of them rural electric membership corporations, or REMCs) and 12 public power utilities averaged less than the investor-owned companies as groups: 11.96¢ per kWh for public power, 14.98¢ per kWh for the cooperatives and 16.62¢ per kWh for the investor-owned utilities. Among the 32 utilities with 10,000 or more residential customers, City of Logansport had the lowest average (10.31¢ per kWh) and NIPSCO the highest (22.05¢ per kWh), a spread of 11.74¢ per kWh3.

The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission reviews the investor-owned utilities' rates; its stated role is to ensure that utilities provide safe and reliable service at just and reasonable rates. On March 24, 2026 it held an investigative inquiry on energy affordability with the five companies.
NIPSCO's high price, low use
Price per kWh is not the bill. NIPSCO's residential customers used 672 kWh a month on average in 2025, the least of the five large utilities; Duke Energy Indiana's used 992 kWh and AES Indiana's 941 kWh. Multiplied out, the bills converge: $148.15 a month at NIPSCO, $148.57 at Duke, $138.29 at AES and $146.33 at Indiana Michigan Power. CenterPoint, with a high price and close-to-average use, had the largest bill: $176.993.

As a general rule, a fixed monthly charge weighs more on the average per kWh where use is low, because it is spread over fewer kWh. Over the last 12 months the gap persisted: NIPSCO's customers paid 23.60¢ per kWh on 650 kWh a month, Duke's 15.91¢ per kWh on 971 kWh8 (EIA-861M, 2026 months preliminary).
Which company serves your address
Indiana's territories overlap county lines. EIA's service-territory records show two or more distribution utilities in 91 of the state's 92 counties, and 109 in Henry County. A county name is therefore not enough: each utility's own service map decides by street address.
The records give the broad outline. NIPSCO reports service in 20 counties of the north, including Lake, LaPorte and Elkhart. Indiana Michigan Power, a subsidiary of American Electric Power (AEP) that also serves Michigan, reports 25 counties in the northeast and east, including Allen and Delaware. AES Indiana reports 20 counties, including Marion County (Indianapolis), shared with other utilities. Duke Energy Indiana covers the widest area, 71 counties. CenterPoint Energy Indiana South serves 79 counties in the southwest, including Vanderburgh (Evansville). Cooperatives and municipal utilities such as the City of Anderson and the City of Mishawaka serve within and between these areas.

Winter at Duke and AES, summer elsewhere
Statewide, use per home peaked at 1,225 kWh in July 2026 and was lowest at 688 kWh in April 2026, a ratio of 1.8 times1 over the last 12 months. The two largest utilities by customers peaked in winter instead. Duke Energy Indiana's customers used the most in January 2026 (1,341 kWh, an average bill of $194.54), as did AES Indiana's (1,401 kWh in January 2026). NIPSCO, Indiana Michigan Power and CenterPoint peaked in July; CenterPoint's July bill averaged $280.348.

Electric heat is less common than nationally: 31.4% of Indiana households heated mainly with electricity in 2025 (US: 41.8%11). In EIA's 2020 Residential Energy Consumption Survey, space heating took 19% of the electricity Indiana homes used, a share ranked tied for 6th highest among the states, and air conditioning 14%12. Those survey shares date from 2020, a pandemic year.
The price per kWh moved less than use, from 15.65¢ per kWh in December 2025 to 18.15¢ per kWh in May 20261.
Coal still first, gas catching up, no nuclear
Coal generated 46.0% of Indiana's electricity in 2025, the 7th highest share among the states, down from 75.2% in 2015. Natural gas rose from 15.6% to 35.5% over the same decade, and wind reached 9.5% and solar 6.2%. Indiana had no nuclear generation (0.0%), while nuclear plants supplied 17.7% of US electricity. The state's plants generated the equivalent of 103%13 of its retail sales.

Indiana sits in two wholesale markets: Indiana Michigan Power's territory is in PJM, while Duke, AES, NIPSCO and CenterPoint are in MISO3. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's 2026 review of retail prices lists Indiana among the PJM states and reports its average retail price up 0.9¢ per kWh from 2024 to 2025, a smaller rise than the 1.2¢ per kWh14 it reports for Pennsylvania.
From cheap to middle of the table
In 2001 Indiana's residential average was 6.92¢ per kWh, against 8.58¢ per kWh15 nationally. By 2025 it was 15.96¢ per kWh, against 17.23¢ per kWh. The rise since 2001, 130.6%, was the 13th highest among the states, and the rise since 2010, 66.9%, the 7th highest (US: 49.3%). The annual average rose in 21 of the years since 2002; the last decline was in 20244.

No supplier choice
Indiana has no residential retail choice. In 2025, 0.0%3 of residential customers bought from a competitive supplier, so the utility averages on this page cover every customer's supply and delivery together.
Outages, meters and help paying
Indiana customers averaged 345 minutes without power in 2025 including major storms, tied for 14th highest among the states, but 125 minutes on ordinary days. CenterPoint's customers in the southwest were without power for an average of 949 minutes including major events and 83 minutes16 without them.
Smart meters covered 81.6% of residential meters in 2025. Duke, AES, Indiana Michigan Power and CenterPoint reported nearly full coverage; NIPSCO reported 0.0%. Time-varying pricing reached 3.9% of residential customers, with 13,171 enrolled at Indiana Michigan Power, and rooftop solar remained rare, at 3.717 net-metered homes per 1,000 customers.
Indiana received $87.1 million from the federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) for fiscal 2026, $30.93 per occupied home; the first release for fiscal 2027 was $75.9 million18.
