Northern Indiana Public Service Company plans to use $57.5 million in new revenue associated with data center development to reduce customers’ electric bills. The proposal would provide roughly $90 in credits over an 18-month period as NIPSCO customers face significant increases in utility costs.
The plan comes amid broader political debate over the rapid expansion of data centers and their effect on electricity demand. NIPSCO customers have also protested outside the company’s Gary facility following severe outages and steep winter bill increases.
