Governor Mike Braun reiterated his commitment to affordable and reliable energy in Indiana during a fireside chat discussion with Purdue President Mung Chiang at the Purdue Nuclear Energy Summit on November 5, 2025.
Governor Braun highlighted Indiana's efforts to bring down high energy costs and meet increasing demand. Governor Braun spoke about Indiana’s efforts to increase baseload production to meet demands and hold down prices, as well as the legislative template to support new energy generation and the workforce pipeline from Purdue and other universities to support new energy generation projects.
"Indiana is uniquely positioned to be the national leader in energy generation. To ensure affordable prices for ratepayers, we must increase energy supply. I am taking bold steps to make sure Indiana can meet increased electricity demand reliably and affordably into the future.” — Governor Mike Braun
To advance his energy agenda, this year Governor Braun appointed Abby Gray as the new Utility Consumer Counselor Commissioner to protect ratepayers, directed an evaluation of utility profits and an exploration of cost-saving measures to lower the burden on ratepayers, and established a Strategic Energy Task Force to build a long term plan to ensure Indiana's energy supply can meet demand reliably and affordably.
