We've identified approximately $30 billion in long-term system modernization and growth programs
Our progress on this commitment to modernize our system is measured in a variety of ways, including capital investment, methane reduction, leak reduction and the diversity of our supply chain. We also report and track a number of measures related to NiSource's environmental performance.
Significant investments
NiSource is investing in our
Our focus areas
Programs across our six operating companies are targeting cast iron, bare steel, early vintage plastics, and other gas infrastructure materials nearing the end of their useful lives and replacing them with modern pipeline materials. In our electric business, we’re upgrading substations and replacing transformers and poles, among many other items. These investments will translate into a safer and more reliable energy system.
The financial impact of these programs to customers is eased by phasing in the costs of these programs over multiple years. These investments are happening at a time of low, stable natural gas prices, which also helps keep customer bills manageable.
Investments drive performance, future growth
In our natural gas business, we are replacing miles of priority pipe, driving continued reductions in methane emissions. We have completed low pressure gas system safety enhancements, including the installation of automatic shut-off devices to protect against overpressurization. In our electric business, we are replacing miles of underground cable and more than utility poles, improving service reliability for our Indiana customers.
Supporting these programs is a balanced regulatory strategy that considers the value delivered for customers and sustained, fair returns for our investors.
