NiSource has been recognized with the Edison Electric Institute’s (EEI) 2026 Advocacy Excellence Award, one of the electric power industry’s most prestigious honors for public policy leadership.
The Advocacy Excellence Award recognizes EEI member companies that demonstrate outstanding engagement and activism in public policy advocacy at the federal, state, and local levels.
In its 2024 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP), NIPSCO projects that electricity demand in northern Indiana could double by 2035, driven largely by the growing needs of large-load customers. Customers should not pay for additional generation costs needed to support that growth. We worked closely with state regulators and stakeholders to shape a solution for northern Indiana.
In 2025, the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission approved the NIPSCO Generation LLC (GenCo) construct, a first-in-the-nation model that isolates the costs and risks of new generation for large-load customers. Over time, GenCo is expected to deliver approximately $1 billion in savings to existing NIPSCO customers, while strengthening grid reliability and supporting economic development.
For NiSource and NIPSCO, this recognition reflects a clear guiding principle: existing customers should not bear the cost or risk of new generation needed to serve large-load growth.
