It’s more than enhancing our infrastructure. It’s an investment in Indiana’s future.
Day in and day out, we take steps to enhance the reliability and environmental performance of our energy infrastructure. Some of these steps are small – testing or replacing a piece of equipment – while others are major, like the purchase of a clean-burning natural gas power plant to more efficiently meet the needs of our customers.
Here are some of the ways we are enhancing our energy infrastructure to ensure reliable, efficient energy now and in the future:
- We purchased the Sugar Creek power plant, a clean-burning natural gas facility in Terre Haute, Ind. This facility not only helps NIPSCO generate the power it needs to meet customer needs, but it does so at about half the carbon intensity of a coal-fired power plant.
- We continue to be an environmental leader in Indiana’s energy industry. Since 2003 we have invested over $300 million in environmental controls and clean power technology, have reduced our air emissions by more than 70 percent and, have helped northwest Indiana achieve clean air attainment status.
- We have increased our commitment to renewable and sustainable energy by adding wind power to our portfolio, and by proposing new incentives for customers to generate their own renewable energy.
- Each year, we invest over $200 million in projects designed to improve efficiency, reliability and convenience. These investments range from power station reliability enhancements to new customer service technologies, and have resulted in significant improvements for all our customers.
