FORT WAYNE, Ind. , Nov. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Indiana Michigan Power (I&M), an American Electric Power (Nasdaq: AEP) company, has filed a joint settlement with the Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor (OUCC), Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft, Google, the Data Center Coalition (DCC), and the Citizens Action Coalition (CAC). This settlement is the result of a collaborative negotiation process that supports I&M's ability to provide the best service possible for all customers and allows the company to continue pursuing opportunities that support the economic growth of its communities. It also addresses power demand increases with the recently announced data centers locating in northeast Indiana , as well as potential future large load customers, while ensuring reliable and affordable service for all customers. The settlement will require new large load customers, including data centers, to make long-term financial commitments proportional to their size to ensure the costs to serve these customers are reasonably recovered from the customer, and not passed on to existing customers. These investments will support the ongoing grid modernization for the benefit of all customers. Data centers provide the digital infrastructure enabling the applications, technologies, and services that have become central to our daily lives and modern economy—everything from banking and medical care to online education and entertainment. The growing demand for digital services can require a significant amount of electricity around the clock to operate. To serve this increased power demand, I&M is required to invest in additional generation, as well as new transmission facilities to meet customer needs and maintain a safe and reliable grid for all customers. In April, AWS announced an $11 billion investment in a data center campus just west of New Carlisle, Ind. that will create at least 1,000 jobs and Google announced a $2 billion data center in Fort Wayne . These investments are among the largest economic development projects in the state of Indiana and bring significant benefits to surrounding communities. "AWS is excited to be expanding our operations in Indiana and be part of the state's growing tech sector. We have recently announced an $11 billion investment that will create numerous well-paying jobs and significantly contribute to the state's economy," said Brandon Oyer , Head of Energy & Water for the Americas, AWS. "Through continued partnership with I&M, this agreement supports the ongoing investment to modernize the local electric grid for the benefit of all ratepayers and ensure that costs to support data center growth are not passed along to other customers." I&M is currently in conversations with additional data center customers, who have also expressed an interest in locating in the northeast Indiana region. The settlement filed with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) recognizes the energy needs of new large customers and proposes additional commitments that these customers must meet when establishing electric service. These new requirements are important to balance the interest of the new customers with the interest of I&M's existing customers. The new structure will enable I&M to optimize its existing and future investments to serve these new large loads in a way that is expected to reduce energy rates for all customers over time. In addition, the settlement ensures that such net new investments will be reasonably recovered from these large load customers. "I&M looks forward to working with some of the leading technology companies in the world that have chosen to locate in northeast Indiana . It is an exciting time for our region and I&M is committed to doing our part to support these customers as they bring investments and jobs to Indiana. I&M has the responsibility to serve the new customers, while also protecting existing customers, including residential, small business and those within other industries, from impacts related to necessary infrastructure improvements required to serve these customers," said Steve Baker , I&M president and chief operating officer. Protecting the interests of all customers was an important consideration of all parties that participated in the settlement agreement, including the OUCC and CAC. "Data centers will play a critical role in Indiana's future economic development in the years to come, while requiring substantial increases in power generation and transmission infrastructure," said Indiana Utility Consumer Counselor Bill Fine. "The terms in this agreement will ensure a balanced approach as those investments are made, protecting residential, commercial, and industrial customers from bearing the costs of new infrastructure necessary to serve new, large-volume customers." "As ratepayer advocates since 1974, Citizens Action Coalition takes very seriously our role as watchdogs for utility consumers," said Kerwin Olson , CAC Executive Director. "This settlement includes significant protections for I&M ratepayers as these large new loads come online in Indiana and provides for increased transparency into the energy needs and impacts of these new customers. Additionally, the contribution to INCAA will enable meaningful assistance and support for low-income Hoosiers in managing their monthly energy bills, including weatherization services to make homes more efficient, healthier, and safer." To further demonstrate the commitment of supporting the local communities, the companies that are signatories to this joint settlement—AWS, Microsoft, and Google—have each agreed to provide an annual contribution of $500,000 for five years to the Indiana Community Action Association, which provides various programs to support low-income Hoosiers once those companies begin taking service in the I&M service territory. "Since breaking ground on our campus in Fort Wayne , Google has been committed to being part of Indiana's economic future and supporting communities across the state to thrive for the long term. The inclusion of community support in this settlement builds on that commitment. We are building a strong partnership with Indiana Michigan Power and look forward to working together to explore opportunities for us to invest in new solutions, like grid-enhancing technologies, that will strengthen energy infrastructure for all Indiana customers," said Amanda Peterson Corio , Global Head of Energy at Google.

MSI Unveils New Gaming Monitor With 80Gbps DisplayPort 2.1
NEW YORK (AP) — Brian Thompson led one of the biggest health insurers in the U.S. but was unknown to millions of people his decisions affected. Then Wednesday's targeted fatal shooting of the UnitedHealthcare CEO on a midtown Manhattan sidewalk thrust the executive and his business into the national spotlight. Thompson, who was 50, had worked at the giant UnitedHealth Group Inc for 20 years and run the insurance arm since 2021 after running its Medicare and retirement business. As CEO, Thompson led a firm that provides health coverage to more than 49 million Americans — more than the population of Spain. United is the largest provider of Medicare Advantage plans, the privately run versions of the U.S. government’s Medicare program for people age 65 and older. The company also sells individual insurance and administers health-insurance coverage for thousands of employers and state-and federally funded Medicaid programs. The business run by Thompson brought in $281 billion in revenue last year, making it the largest subsidiary of the Minnetonka, Minnesota-based UnitedHealth Group. His $10.2 million annual pay package, including salary, bonus and stock options awards, made him one of the company's highest-paid executives. The University of Iowa graduate began his career as a certified public accountant at PwC and had little name recognition beyond the health care industry. Even to investors who own its stock, the parent company's face belonged to CEO Andrew Witty, a knighted British triathlete who has testified before Congress. When Thompson did occasionally draw attention, it was because of his role in shaping the way Americans get health care. At an investor meeting last year, he outlined his company's shift to “value-based care,” paying doctors and other caregivers to keep patients healthy rather than focusing on treating them once sick. “Health care should be easier for people,” Thompson said at the time. “We are cognizant of the challenges. But navigating a future through value-based care unlocks a situation where the ... family doesn’t have to make the decisions on their own.” Thompson also drew attention in 2021 when the insurer, like its competitors, was widely criticized for a plan to start denying payment for what it deemed non-critical visits to hospital emergency rooms. “Patients are not medical experts and should not be expected to self-diagnose during what they believe is a medical emergency,” the chief executive of the American Hospital Association wrote in an open letter addressed to Thompson. “Threatening patients with a financial penalty for making the wrong decision could have a chilling effect on seeking emergency care.” United Healthcare responded by delaying rollout of the change. Thompson, who lived in a Minneapolis suburb and was the married father of two sons in high school, was set to speak at an investor meeting in a midtown New York hotel. He was on his own and about to enter the building when he was shot in the back by a masked assailant who fled on foot before pedaling an e-bike into Central Park a few blocks away, the New York Police Department said. Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said investigators were looking at Thompson's social media accounts and interviewing employees and family members. “Didn’t seem like he had any issues at all,” Kenny said. "He did not have a security detail.” AP reporters Michael R. Sisak and Steve Karnowski contributed to this report. Murphy reported from Indianapolis.

The parents-to-be reportedly know the baby's gender, but are not revealing it. Megan and MGK have had a passionate and rocky relationship. They first met on the set of Midnight in The Switchgrass before getting engaged in 2022. When announcing their betrothal on Instagram, Megan said she and MGK 'drank each other's blood' to celebrate the occasion. But just over a year later, Megan sensationally hinted she had split from MGK as she shared a cryptic Instagram post before completely deleting her account . The actress posted a video in which she appeared to burn a letter in a bonfire, along with a bag. She also uploaded a very raunchy string of mirror selfies while joined by a male pal, in which she put on a busty display in a plunging black top and cut-out trousers. Megan wrote in her caption, 'You can taste the dishonesty/ it’s all over your breath,' which are lyrics from Beyoncé's 2016 track, Pray You Catch Me, about her husband Jay Z's own affair. She then removed all traces of Machine Gun Kelly from her Instagram grid, having unfollowed him before deleting her account altogether. Fox and Kelly at the iHeartRadio Music Awards in 2021 Ultimately they seemed to patch things up and things appear to be all well between them now, with the couple being seen together ever since.

'I feel like everyone has such an opinion on your guys relationship. You got engaged, then I think it was called off, then we don't know what's going on with you. How would you describe your relationship with MGK?' host Alex Cooper asked. Megan responded: 'I think that what I've learned from being in this relationship is that it's not for public consumption, so I think as of now, I don't have a comment on like the status of the relationship per say. 'What I can say is that is what I refer to as being my twin soul and there will always be a tether to him no matter what. I can't say for sure what the capacity will be, but I will always be connected to him somehow. 'Beyond that I'm not willing to explain. But all those things you said were accurate things that have occurred and I can see them being confusing or interesting to people and them being like, "What's up?"' Her final comment confirmed speculation she had ended her engagement from Kelly. Megan was previously married to Green from 2010 to 2021. They welcomed three children together during their marriage before their union officially ended. Brian has been with DWTS professional Sharna Burgess since 2020 and they have son Zane Walker Green, two, together.
