MERRILLVILLE – NIPSCO today announced a $713 million plan to invest in its natural gas infrastructure through the end of the decade, which will provide a number of direct benefits to homes and businesses across northern Indiana.
Safety, reliability and maintaining access to low natural gas prices are central to the comprehensive, seven-year plan. Planned projects will range from the elimination of remaining bare steel natural gas lines, to the installation of 80 miles of transmission lines and the construction of new service to customers in rural areas.
A key focus of the plan is to make the necessary improvements while minimizing the impact on customer bills. Rather than making these investments at one time, NIPSCO is spreading out the work to help eliminate sudden spikes in customer bills.
