The Indiana Rate and the Sign Budget
The preliminary EIA figures for April 2026 put Indiana's commercial average at 13.78 cents per kilowatt-hour, about 0.27 cents above the u.s. commercial average; the national figure was 13.51 cents. The average smooths over Indiana utility territories and rate classes; use it to compare scenarios, then price the project from the bill.
Annual Planning Example
The standardized model, 900 W less demand across a 12 hour day, translates to approximately $543 every year in IN.
The Five Year Line
Over five years that single design decision is worth about $2,715 at the IN benchmark.

Where Indiana Sign Demand Lives
Indiana sign demand concentrates in automotive and advanced manufacturing, logistics, healthcare and retail. High value formats include dealer and plant signs, distribution-center signs, fuel pylons, channel letters, cabinet signs. Market priority: High.
Automotive and advanced manufacturing
Vehicle retail across Indiana runs large, high-visibility identity that brands audit closely.
Logistics
Indiana logistics portfolios repeat one design across many buildings, so standardized packages pay.
Healthcare
Care campuses across Indiana specify sign power for uptime, since wayfinding is part of patient safety.
Retail
Tenant cycles keep Indiana retail signage in steady rotation between re-letters and refreshes.
Fuel and convenience
No Indiana sign category runs longer hours than fuel retail, where canopies and digits never rest.
Hospitality
Hotel and entertainment frontage across Indiana runs the longest hours in signage.
TMT LED Education for Indiana Sign Work
Show lower maintenance, industrial reliability, long-run 24V design, surge protection and standardized replacements. Nothing about lumens or load limits is regional, but the Indiana market puts its own weight on the tradeoffs.
Module Selection
Start with efficacy and optics rather than wattage. Deep IN cabinets want high output and wide spread; tight letterforms want small, efficient parts at close spacing. Specs: LED Signage Modules.
Powering the Sign
The supply decision for IN installs is voltage, circuits and documented capacity, in that order, with service access ahead of shortest wire path. Product selection must be based on the specific power supply's listed environment, enclosure rating, electrical classification, installation method and applicable code requirements. See the Power Supply Buyers Guide.

Enter 13.78 cents per kWh, or your actual tariff, in the LED ROI Calculator for Indiana planning estimates.
What is the standardized savings example worth in Indiana?
Applied to the Indiana benchmark, the standardized 900 W reduction returns roughly $543 per year and about $2,715 over five years, energy only, subject to the planning disclaimer beside the examples above.
Which sign markets drive demand in Indiana?
The Indiana mix runs through automotive and advanced manufacturing, logistics, healthcare and retail; formats with the most at stake include dealer and plant signs, distribution-center signs, fuel pylons, channel letters, cabinet signs. Metro-level detail lives in the guides above.
What should Indiana installers plan for in this climate?
Freeze-thaw cycles, humidity and storms make reliable outdoor drivers and sealed module systems valuable. These are design considerations, not blanket product claims; the suitability rule stated with the power supply guidance on this page governs selection, and local electrical code governs final installations.
