What happened
The Commission found the Clinton County Hardy Hills project a reasonable addition to IPL’s portfolio and approved the certificate, project structure and related cost treatment June 16 S1. On June 23 it granted Hardy Hills Solar Energy LLC limited declination of jurisdiction with reporting/commencement conditions S2.
Decision on recordIndiana Utility Regulatory Commission issued a certificate for Indianapolis Power & Light acquisition/development of Hardy Hills in Cause 45493; a separate June 23 order in Cause 45490 declined specified jurisdiction over the generator. These are state regulatory acts, not proof every local permit was issued. S1S2
Who acted in the record
How RealClear would approach this site
Historical reconstruction: RealClear was not involved in this proceeding. This illustrates a one-property review of public records; it does not predict votes or private motives.
Which approvals attach to the generator and which to utility acquisition?
- Record to read
- both IURC orders and local siting/permit file
- Constraint to test
- State certificate and jurisdiction relief are different instruments.
- Next action
- List each instrument and remaining local conditions before treating the site as buildable.
The boundary of the finding
- The case slug suggests AES; the 2021 order names IPL/AES Indiana and Hardy Hills Solar Energy LLC, so preserve each entity’s role.
- No local county siting decision or current operating status independently verified.
