AES plans to end coal power gerneration by 2025 AES announced on Friday they want to stop generating electricity with coal. They issued the following release: AES, the global parent company of AES Indiana, and owner of the Peters- burg power plants formerly known as IPL, has announced its intent to exit coal generation by the end of 2025 at the glob- al portfolio level to meet regulatory obli- gations. To achieve this target, AES will weigh options to convert, sell, retire or replace existing coal generation resourc- es worldwide. In Indiana, utilities are legally required to engage in a rigorous stakeholder in- volvement process every three years to develop an Integrated Resource Plan (IRP). This plan considers energy gen- eration in multiple potential scenarios to deliver safe, reliable and efficient elec- tricity at just and reasonable rates. Changes to AES Indiana's genera- tion portfolio are evaluated and decid- ed through the IRP. AES Indiana sub- mits an IRP to the Indiana Utility Regu- latory Commission (IURC) every three years that identifies a forward-looking, 20 -year portfolio of generation that pro- vides safe, reliable, and affordable energy to its more than 512,000 customers that considers potential risks and key stake- holder input. AES takes this responsibil- ity seriously and will meet all obligations in this IRP process, which is currently under way for 2022. In the past seven years, AES Indiana has made significant strides in diversi- fying its energy sources by including conventional fuel sources and renew- ables and retiring or converting some of its coal units. Since 2015, AES Indiana has achieved a 67% decrease in key emis- sions. Today, AES Indiana has 3.6 GW of generation from a diversified mix of nat- ural gas, coal, wind, solar and oil. AES Indiana's 2019 IRP showed the cost of operating some coal-generating plants exceeded the value customers re- ceive compared to alternative resources. As a result of the 2019 IRP, AES Indi- ana retired Petersburg Unit 1 in 2021 and shared plans to retire Unit 2 in 2023. The future of two additional coal units in Pe- tersburg has not been decided and is be- ing evaluated now as a part of the 2022 IRP, which will be submitted to Indiana regulators by Nov. 1, 2022. Our more than 100 -year-old electric system is rapidly transforming to meet changing customer needs, advances in technologies and growing energy de- mands. AES Indiana is committed to ac- celerating the future of energy for our customers while ensuring we meet their needs of reliability, affordability and sus- tainability. Petersburg female charged with Domestic Battery By Sherri Sebella According to a probable cause affida- vit filed with the Pike County Prosecu- tor's Office, Kayce Hutton, 18, of Peters- burg, was arrested for Domestic Battery on Tuesday, February 22. Petersburg Police Chief Kyle Mills, was dispatched to a residence at 1989 S. Heer Drive, in Petersburg, at 12:54 p.m. on February 22, in reference to a domes- tic dispute. Central dispatch advised that the fe- male subject involved was outside in her blue car, attempting to leave. Before Po- lice arrived, they were advised that the fe- male was back inside the residence. Pike County Deputy Buck Seger, In- diana State Trooper Davis, and Mills ar- rived on the scene and entered the res- idence. As they entered, they noticed a male subject, later identified as Dennis Sweezey, 21, of Petersburg, standing in the front room. As Police walked past Sweezey, they could see he was bleeding on the side of his neck, as well as having red marks around his neck and chest area. Police continued to walk through the entry way and saw a female standing in the living room, later identified as Hutton. Police asked Hutton what was going on between her and Sweezey and she shrugged and put her hands up and said she didn't really know. Police asked her if she and Sweezey had been arguing and she said yes. She was then asked if it was just verbal, and she again said she didn't really know. Police asked her to start from the beginning of their argu- ment and Hutton stated that it started be- cause of Sweezey's truck breaking down. Hutton explained that her parents tried to help pay to fix Sweezey's truck and he did not like that. According to probable cause affida- vits, Hutton stated after Sweezey called her father, they started arguing and she walked up and pushed Sweezey. A fter the push, she said that Sweezey threw her and got on top of her. Police asked if she or Sweezey had thrown any punches and Hutton said no. A fter speaking to Hutton, Police listened to Sweezey explain what had happened between him and Hutton. Sweezey stated that they were argu- ing about his truck being broke down and how he was going to get a ride for work. He said they were in a verbal argu- ment at that point and they were stand- ing on opposite sides of the living room. Sweezey said he went to talk in the kitch- en and Hutton yelled his name. When he turned around, Sweezey stated that Hut- ton grabbed him by his throat and start- ed choking him. Sweezey stated that he pinned Hutton on the ground after she tried to choke him. While she was on the ground, Sweezey stated that she tried to bite him and grabbed him by the testi- cles and squeezed them. Sweezey said she was able to get up and tried to gr- ab him again and he put her back on the ground and held her arms down so she could not grab him. A fter speaking to Sweezey, Police went back to where Hutton was and asked her what happened to Sweezey's neck. Hut- ton stated she grabbed his neck when he was on top of her to push him off. Police asked Hutton if she thought Sweezey was holding her down to restrain her so she wouldn't hurt him and she stated "not ex- actly, but yeah." Police told Hutton that because Sweezey had numerous marks and cuts around his neck and chest area, that she was being placed under arrest for Domes- tic Battery. Hutton was taken to the Pike County Security Center.
