Item
8.01 Other Events
Vectren
Corporation (the Company), and its intermediate holding company, Vectren
Utility
Holdings, Inc., announced that, on October 5, 2005, the Indiana Utility
Regulatory Commission approved the settlement agreement between Vectren Energy
Delivery of Indiana, Inc. and the Indiana Office of the Utility Consumer
Counselor for a normal temperature adjustment (NTA) billing mechanism.
The
NTA
mechanism will compare the actual weather experienced to normal weather and
will
adjust the distribution charge portion of the customer bill accordingly.
The
mechanism will mitigate swings in distribution charges created by weather
fluctuations by lowering customer bills when weather is colder than normal
and
increasing customer bills when the weather is warmer than normal. A
copy of
the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report. The Company’s
subsidiaries, Indiana Gas Company, Inc. and Southern Indiana Gas and Electric
Company, generally do business as Vectren Energy Delivery of Indiana,
Inc.
In
connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company has included cautionary statements
identifying important factors that could cause actual results of the Company
and
its subsidiaries, including Indiana Gas Company, Inc., Southern Indiana Gas
and
Electric Company, and Vectren Energy Delivery of Ohio, Inc. to differ materially
from those projected in forward-looking statements of the Company and its
subsidiaries made by, or on behalf of, the Company and its subsidiaries.
These
cautionary statements are attached as Exhibit 99.2.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant
has
duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto
duly authorized.
