Item 8.01.  Other Events
 
On September 20, 2017, Vectren Energy Delivery of Indiana - South (Vectren) has received regulatory approval from the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) for its seven-year electric reliability and modernization plan and to build and operate its first universal solar farms. Both regulatory requests were filed in February 2017; the solar plan was approved in August, and the grid reliability and modernization plan was approved today. The IURC approval for the grid modernization plan reflects a previously filed settlement among Vectren, the Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor (OUCC) and a coalition of industrial customers. The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.

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.
