Indiana Michigan Power news release:<\/p>\n

I&M is Future Ready with Plans to Enhance Diverse Energy Mix<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana (April 1, 2026) – Indiana Michigan Power (I&M), an American Electric Power (Nasdaq: AEP) company, recently submitted its 2024 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) to the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC). I&M\u2019s plan outlines the transformation the company is undergoing to meet the evolving energy needs of customers while maintaining reliable and consistent power.<\/p>\n

The Future Ready Plan supports a resilient grid using a diverse portfolio of generation resources, energy efficiency and demand response programs to provide reliable, affordable energy for I&M customers today and into the future.<\/p>\n

The plan, which is specific to the state of Indiana, provides a detailed breakdown of future energy needs and how the company will meet customer demand through the 2044 IRP planning period.<\/p>\n

I&M is required to submit this 20-year IRP every three years to the IURC. I&M will conduct a similar process next year for the company\u2019s Michigan service area. <\/p>\n

The foundation of this plan is based on the evolving energy needs of existing customers. It also takes into account how I&M will serve future customers in a reliable, cost-effective manner. Additional input was considered throughout the IRP process through a Public Advisory Process, which provided opportunities for stakeholders to engage in the process through a series of five workshops. These workshops began in June 2024 and concluded in March 2025. <\/p>\n

\u201cI&M has an opportunity to make a significant impact on the communities we serve by adapting to meet customers\u2019 evolving energy needs now and into the future,\u201d said Steve Baker, I&M president and chief operating officer. \u201cBy diversifying our generation mix with a portfolio of resources that can be available around the clock, our customers can trust that we are Future Ready to serve their homes, businesses and factories 24\/7.\u201d<\/p>\n

Enhancing Generation Diversity<\/strong><\/p>\n

I&M currently supports a diverse mix of generation resources to power customers\u2019 homes and businesses. This mix includes solar, wind, nuclear, coal and hydroelectric resources. As the trend for energy and demand continues to increase within I&M\u2019s territory, identifying resources to support future need is critical. The Indiana IRP targets additional renewable and natural gas resources to meet projected energy needs. These include the incorporation of solar, storage, wind and natural gas combined cycle and combustion turbine resources, as well as relicensing the Elkhart and Mottville hydroelectric facilities in 2030 and 2033, respectively.<\/p>\n

The resources identified in the IRP are in addition to the solar, wind and natural gas capacity resources recently approved by the IURC as the company prepares for the planned retirement of the coal-fueled Rockport Plant by the end of 2028.<\/p>\n

Focus on Nuclear Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 2024 Indiana IRP recommends the relicensing for both units at the D.C. Cook Nuclear Plant, located in Bridgman, Mich. The current licensing for Unit 1 and Unit 2 continues through 2034 and 2037, respectively, and would be extended to 2054 and 2057 under the new licensing period. Cook Nuclear serves as the anchor of I&M\u2019s energy resources, generating carbon-emission free energy 24\/7.<\/p>\n

The plan also references opportunities and benefits surrounding the development of Small Modular Reactor (SMR) technology at I&M\u2019s current Rockport site in Spencer County. This advanced nuclear generation resource would provide approximately 600 MW of capacity by 2037. I&M took the initial step in January 2025, applying for a grant funding opportunity through the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). If successful, funds from the DOE would partially offset the cost of the early site permit process required for SMR technology.<\/p>\n

Additional Details<\/strong><\/p>\n

The IRP also includes the amount of energy and demand that can be offset by energy efficiency and demand response programs. These opportunities provide customers the ability to participate in programs that fit their unique needs, lower their energy usage and contribute to a sustainable energy future. Customers can find out more about these programs at the company\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To meet the energy needs of I&M customers, the company will be making filings with the IURC throughout 2025 to request approval for specific resources that are consistent with the Future Ready Plan. I&M expects new resources will start to be available to serve customers in 2026.<\/p>\n
