EdNews - Northern Indiana Economic Development

Meet the NIPSCO ED Team

Through our partnerships and relations with local contacts, we can help get economic development projects started throughout Northern Indiana.

NIPSCO's gas and electric service territory stretches across 32 counties in Northern Indiana, from Ohio to Illinois and from Michigan down into about a third of Indiana. Any of our team members can help with property searches, contacts and general questions. Please feel free to contact us at any time.
