Item 8.01. Other Events

On January 28, 2015, Vectren Energy Delivery of Indiana received an order from the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission approving the company’s request to upgrade existing emissions control equipment on its coal-fired electric generation units in southwestern Indiana. These enhancements are being made in order to comply with more recent Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mandates, including the mercury and air toxics standards (MATS) that will take effect in 2016. In response to these federal mandates, Vectren plans to spend $70 to $90 million through 2016. The IURC also granted Vectren’s request to defer recovery of these federally mandated costs, which will likely be until 2020.  A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

In connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Vectren Corporation (the Company) is hereby furnishing cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results of the Company and its subsidiaries, including Vectren Utility Holdings, 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.
