Indiana Code
Chapter 2.2. Municipal Electric Utility Programs
8-1-2.2-1. Findings and Purpose

Sec. 1. Municipalities owning facilities for the distribution of electric power and energy are required by law to provide, and serve a public purpose by providing, customers with an adequate, a reliable, and an economical supply of electric power and energy. Individually, such municipalities or joint agencies are not financially capable of providing the planning, financing, locating, and building of needed new facilities for generation and transmission or operating or managing these facilities. Therefore, the general assembly finds it necessary and proper to provide a method for certain of those municipalities to jointly finance, develop, own, manage, and operate, either by themselves or with public utilities, electric generation and transmission facilities appropriate to the present and projected electric energy needs of such municipalities and to the changes in the electric utility industry affecting these municipalities or joint agencies.
