What happens next
The new rate took effect June 26, 2025 and is already on your bill. How rate cases work.
NIPSCO filed for about 368.7 million dollars in additional annual revenue in September 2024. The IURC approved a settlement on June 26, 2025 that cut the increase to about 257 million dollars, below NIPSCO's original request and above the 230.4 million dollars recommended by the state consumer counselor. The deal kept the fixed monthly residential customer charge at its existing 14 dollar level rather than raising it further.

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.
