INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) Commissioner David Ober has notified Governor Eric J. Holcomb that he plans to leave his position for another opportunity, effective June 22, 2022.
Ober was appointed as a commissioner of the IURC by Gov. Holcomb on April 2, 2018, and reappointed in 2020. Ober is one of five commissioners of the IURC, which is required by state law to hear evidence and make decisions to ensure that utilities provide safe and reliable service at just and reasonable rates.

With Ober’s departure, the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission Nominating Committee must convene to evaluate candidates and then submit the nominations of three individuals to the governor to fill the vacated Commissioner position. Carol Stephan has been appointed chair of the nominating committee, which also includes Carolene Mays and Jonathan Mayes.
