On billsdate not published
The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission approved NIPSCO's special contract settlement with Amazon Data Services on June 17, 2026, along with a related power purchase agreement. NIPSCO expects the 15-year deal to produce about 1 billion dollars in ratepayer savings through bill credits, funded by what data centers pay for their own power. Amazon's deliveries are set to begin January 1, 2027 and ramp up to 2.4 gigawatts of load by the end of 2032.
What it means for your bill: This approved contract is designed to have Amazon's data centers pay their own way, with savings passed to other NIPSCO customers as bill credits rather than costs.

Indiana Michigan Power proposed base rate reduction and rate freeze
Indiana Michigan Power, IN
This is a proposed decrease, not an increase; I&M says new large industrial and data center customers are helping pay for the grid, letting it lower rates for everyone else, but the case still needs IURC approval.
