6. The general assembly declares that it is the
continuing policy of the state that decisions concerning Indiana's
electric generation resource mix, energy infrastructure, and electric
service ratemaking constructs must consider each of the following
attributes of electric utility service:
(1)Reliability, including:
(A)the adequacy of electric utility service, including the ability
of the electric system to supply the aggregate electrical demand
and energy requirements of end use customers at all times,
taking into account:
(ii)reasonably expected unscheduled;
outages of system elements; and
(B)the operating reliability of the electric system, including the
ability of the electric system to withstand sudden disturbances
such as electric short circuits or unanticipate

ability of the electric system to withstand sudden disturbances
such as electric short circuits or unanticipated loss of system
components.
(2) Affordability, including ratemaking constructs that result in
retail electric utility service that is affordable and competitive
across residential, commercial, and industrial customer classes.
(3) Resiliency, including the ability of the electric system or its
components to:
(A) adapt to changing conditions; and
(B) withstand and rapidly recover from disruptions or
off-nominal events.
(4) Stability, including the ability of the electric system to:
(A) maintain a state of equilibrium during:
(i) normal and abnormal conditions; or
(ii) disturbances; and
(B) deliver a stable source of electricity, in which frequency
and voltage are maintained within defined parameters,
consistent with industry standards.
(5) Environmental sustainability, including:
(A) the impact of environmental regulations on the cost of
providing electric utility service; and
(B) demand from consumers for environmentally sustainable
sources of electric generation.
