NiSource Inc. is a U.S.-based energy holding company that operates as a regulated natural gas and electric utility through two business segments: Columbia Operations and NIPSCO Operations. The company delivers natural gas to residential, commercial, and industrial customers across Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Kentucky, and Maryland via a network of distribution and transmission pipelines, and provides electricity to approximately 0.5 million customers in northern Indiana. Its electric generation portfolio is diversified across steam coal, combined cycle gas turbine, natural gas, hydroelectric, wind, and solar facilities spread across several Indiana counties. Founded in 1847 and headquartered in Merrillville, Indiana, the company was previously known as NIPSCO Industries before adopting its current name in April 1999.
As a multi-utility operating in the regulated Utilities sector, NiSource earns revenue primarily through state-regulated rate structures set by public utility commissions, which generally allow a fixed return on approved capital investments in transmission, distribution, and generation infrastructure. The combination of gas distribution and electric generation under one holding company is a common structure among multi-utilities, providing diversification across customer bases and fuel types while keeping earnings tied to the regulated rate base rather than commodity prices.
- Multi-billion pipeline replacement capex expands regulated rate base
- Indiana rate case outcomes determine earnings growth trajectory
- Winter heating demand drives natural gas distribution volumes
