NiSource Inc. (NI) is a regulated utility holding company providing natural gas and electric services across the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions. The company manages two primary segments: Columbia Operations, focusing on gas distribution across five states, and NIPSCO Operations, which provides both electric and gas services to northern Indiana.
The company maintains a diverse generation portfolio including coal, natural gas, hydro, wind, and solar assets. As a regulated utility, NiSource operates under a cost-of-service model where state commissions approve rates, providing a predictable framework for recovering infrastructure investments. The multi-utility structure allows the firm to balance the seasonal demand cycles of natural gas heating with the year-round consumption of electric power.
